[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] wCk32d7:
Hello

Do you know how it will be regarding custom ROMs based on Android 14 for POCO X3 NFC Surya ?

I don't know why but it seems to me that such a popular model like POCO X3 NFC doesn't have much custom ROMs to choose from which have official support and are really good...

I used the official build of Arrow OS on Android 11 and 12 and it was great... Perfect battery life and I haven't felt a single problem during the time I've been using it...

But Android 13 didn't make it to the official Arrow OS build anymore, and I don't understand at all why Arrow OS stopped supporting the Surya model...

So on Android 13 I tried the official build of LineageOS but there was a problem that the phone was shutting down by itself. This problem was confirmed by the developer himself and a lot of people in the discussion. So I switched to the official crDroid build but this ROM consumed a lot of battery compared to Arrow OS and was not as smooth...

Finally I switched to the unofficial build of Arrow OS but the problem is that in the ROM instead of MIUI camera there is some basic GO camera which is not good at all. Moreover, the ROM doesn't have an updater integrated in it + it has a few other small bugs... Moreover, the developer confirmed that he released the last update for Android 13 and if he will continue on Android 14 he hasn't commented...

So does anyone have any recommendations for a custom ROM that has official support is smooth and has good battery life plus there is guaranteed long update support ?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] legedug01:
I've no problem using crdroid 9.10. The battery problem coming from google service, some person made a tweak to solve the issue. So up to now I still use those version (without magisk, because the version use kernelsu).

For switching to android 14, I will hold much longer until has the stable version and fulfill my need.

[General Questions and Answers] SilasPuma:
I would like to run Apple tvOS on my Fire TV because I like all of the features it has and I can‘t buy a whole new streaming box. I am open to downloading any apps needed, and my Fire Stick has empty storage so I can download anything to it. I have a laptop with Windows 11 and an iPad Air. My Fire TV stick is running on an LG TV. (not sure if any of this helps)

Any way to do this?
[General Questions and Answers] CluelessCorpDrone:
Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but I cannot find it.

Long story short, recording phone calls is extremely useful to my profession. I'd like to get an S22 SM-S901B with a European CSC that allows me to record calls, but I cannot verify that it will work in the US on Verizon. I called Verizon and was met with a "maybe". The tech said it would, his supervisor who chimed in said probably not.

How can I confirm (non)compatibility before I buy one? I'd hate to buy a brick. I've checked a few sites, compared available bandwidths, etc., but I have found nothing dispositive of the issue. I really would like to know 100% if it'll work before I shell out the cash.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] krbjmpr:
The SM-S901B is the exynos international model, probably has dual sim as well.

As far as network compatibility, they are the same.

Comparison between: Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22 Exynos

Comparison between: Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22 Exynos

www.devicespecifications.com

Problem you will likely run into is csc for USA. International model won't take u or u1 firmware.

You can setup for us, English, etc, but safety check may fail as csc mismatch.

I run Intl variant of note10+, smn975f/ds, my csc reflects saudia arabia, causes a csc mismatch, but has not been an issue.

I can also record calls natively, and rooted (after call recording enabled).
[General Questions and Answers] CluelessCorpDrone:
Are you on Verizon?

Practically, what issues will I face? Will certain apps not work? Will I have a more difficult time getting updates, etc?

I'm planning on getting an S901B and changing it to SEK or THL for the country code. I'm uneducated in how these things go, so will my plan of buy phone off amazon, insert verizon SIM to activate it, and then change the CSC to SEK or THL work? Will changing the CSC change my language settings?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. I'm kind of lost here.

EDIT — Also, with the 901B having dual SIMs, that shouldn't impact me, yes? Just plug in my single SIM and go nuts?
[General Questions and Answers] krbjmpr:
Putting in your Sim would typically switch region, language included.

But your Sim is foreign to phone. You will likely need a multi-csc all-in-one firmware to get csc that you want. Double check which csc are part of which firmware packages.

Updates won't be received until you are back in region for csc in use. So, no automatic updates. Probably.

I am not part of Verizon anymore. Now am with AT&T. My device is a SM-N975F/DS, which is fancy for a Note10+ Exynos, dual Sim, international unbranded. My csc is XSG, which is an UAE unbranded csc. It took me a while to reach this point. I also run Dr Ketan ROM, so also rooted.

Look at samfirmware and related sites to find same OS / Bootloader as you currently have, featuring csc you want to use. Also, see which additional features are supported / enabled with particular csc. My deal breaker was native call recording, without root, hence XSG. One day, I will see what is involved in making a XAA / XAS define as a CSC, and see if can't alter an XSG to reflect XAA or XAS. The biggest downside is that I currently 'soft fail' safety check for csc mismatch.

Your desire to buy phone, insert Sim, activate and use will not have many problems. At worst, you will have to change system language. To enable / tailor for your needs, that is what takes time. I spent more than a week working on mine, with countless firmware slides using ODIN.

1 more thing regarding firmware and ODIN. You want to use a USB2 port, not USB3. Many ODIN sessions were interrupted until I discovered why. You also want a copy of existing firmware so you can undo what you did, if needed.
[General Questions and Answers] CluelessCorpDrone:
Thanks for the detailed reply. There is where I show my ignorance (I am not technically competent in this arena). I'm probably not savvy enough to root without messing it up, nor was I looking to if it was possible to avoid it.

When you say a multi-csc firmware, you mean get a phone model that has multiple CSCs available by default, yes? The S22 SM-901B, I believe has all the major European and Asian CSCs so I can switch to THL or SEK.

Or are you suggesting I download and install basically an entirely new firmware myself?

My goal is to be as simple as possible: get a new phone, install sim from my existing phone, maybe mess around with some CSC settings and be able to record calls. I am trying to get one working then disseminate the same type to the rest of the lawyers in the firm.

Right now I'm using an old janky S7 with ACR that could die at any moment, so I really need to upgrade.

Thank you again for the help. I'm trying to build a path forward then execute as simply as possible.
[General Questions and Answers] krbjmpr:
Find version of your firmware. Then look at a firmware guide to see what csc are included.

Oceana is separate from Pacific / Asia is seperate from Europe is seperate from from Africa seperate from S. America seperate from N America. Each region has own set of csc. If the one you want has csc you desire already, then you are good to go. Otherwise, load same firmware for different region. CSC covers language, region, carrier, all sorts of config data.

To learn more about csc, and how to change, look here:

Change CSC on Samsung Devices – Samsung CSC Codes - DroidViews

Samsung firmware has usually 4 or 5 binaries or components including BL or Bootloader, AP or PDA, CP or Phone, and CSC (CSC and Home_CSC). In some cases, you may also need the PIT or Partition Information Table file. In this article, we'll focus on Samsung CSC and Samsung CSC codes only...

www.droidviews.com
[General Questions and Answers] CluelessCorpDrone:
Alright, so I'm looking at the SM-S901B on amazon. It seems that the SM-S901B comes with the following CSCs as options on this site: https://samfrew.com/firmware/model/SM-S901B/upload/Desc/0/10

SEK is an option. Which means, I purchase the phone, slap in my domestic Verizon sim and hope all goes well on boot up and initial connection. If I need to change language settings, I'll bumble through that via youtube or whatever. After I have the phone working, then I'll follow this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-enabl...-device-for-free-works-in-one-ui-5-1.4220153/ then restart and pray that call recording is enabled.

Any holes in my genius plan?

Thanks again!

hi, I'm trying to install twrp on my huawei p9 lite, I unlocked the bootloader but everytime that I try to flash it says:

FAILED (remote: image verification error)

finished. total time: 0.891s

and when i type: fastboot oem get-lockstate

I get: (bootloader) locked

can someone please tell me what to do?

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
@leoshuaweilover

hello and welcome to XDA forum.

Mate, i'm pretty sure someone could help you but

can you tell how you unlocked the bootloader,

the firmware your device is currently running

and the version of TWRP you tried to install?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] surdu_petru:
Before unlock the bootloader you must go to Developer Options and unlock OEM !

Only now you can go into bootloader mode and based on your bootloader unlock code you can perform this command:

fastboot oem unlock "bootloader_unlock_code"

to make sure the bootloader has been successfully unlocked, you can re-enter bootloader mode to check if you have PHONE Unlocked & FRP Unlock displayed in red

there are a lot of methods, but since they are not free, it is not the subject of the discussion on XDA ... I suggest you search on Google, you will definitely find it at the first and simplest search (the cheapest unlocking method I have seen reaches around 4 euros, it's one of the methods I used too)
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Mate, thank you for the suggestions

but i was only trying to help that user.

I've had the P9 lite for a couple of years

and i've unlocked it with the code

huawei's site directly gave to me.

Flashed some roms too and lately re-flased stock

and re-locked the bootloader in order to sell it.

Have a good day. ;)

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] leoshuaweilover:

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Run command :

fastboot oem lock-state info

and post the result please.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] leoshuaweilover:
i did it and it says..
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Apparently you used the potatonv method and like many other people you didn't read the instructions carefully. It clearly says:

"Disable FBLOCK checkbox disables a special securtiy check. That modification allows you to flash/erase secure partitions or execute oem commands, that are not available with normal unlocking by unlock code [USERLOCK].

Warning

FBLOCK unlocking works correctly only on devices with Kirin 960 or Kirin 65x. Disabling this option can cause serious problems on legacy devices."

Try unlock the BL with the code again, or try a factory reset first and then unlock BL.

If it fails, there may be only one way - to go through the whole potatonv procedure again, this time correctly. But first I would suggest changing the FB Lockstate to "Locked". It should work with the command

fastboot oem hwdog certify set 1 or 0, I don't remember exactly. Try and see.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] leoshuaweilover:
i did it and it didn't fail so i guess i can install twrp?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
@leoshuaweilover

oh well, you're in good hands now.

One only thing i have to say,

do not flash EliteTWRP-3.2.1-0_2018-01-19.img,

it's buggy, try THIS ONE (Elite_TWRP_3.1.1-1) instead.

Kind Regards :)

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Assuming you can bring him back to life, mate,

It happened 5 years ago, also I don't know if

it's possible to completely re-lock the bootloader.

The only method I know of is to flash

an original firmware version that is more up-to-date

than the one currently installed via OTA,

but without this service, this possibility, I wouldn't know how to do it.

There may be other methods, but I don't know them.

Good luck.:)

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
First of all try to fix the static screen, google it ("android static screen").

On Huawei, there are only two options to lock bootloader - installing full stock FW via dload method, or changing oeminfo.

yeah i did the dload thing but i think i choose the wrong firmware file but i don't know where i can find any officials firmwares

It's working also with : ( fastboot oem lock xxx ) ( xxx must be bootloader unlock code ) - I already locked my bootloader on MediaPad M3 ( hi3650 ) 2017 because FRP got somhow Locked.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Maybe you meant 'fastboot oem relock xxx' , yes, it's working (requires clean stock system with both stock recovery), but the result in fastboot will be "Phone relocked". But I could be wrong, I'm just an amateur-hobbyist :).

(Maybe it works with FBLock Unlocked, idk...).
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] surdu_petru:
Yes, something like that ( fastboot oem relock or lock ) I honestly don't remember exactly, the important thing is that I managed to lock back the bootloader, I reinstalled the stock firmware and then I could unlock again OEM from developer options !
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
I don't doubt your words, of course not, I just wanted to point out the detail that if someone needs the "Phone locked" status, the fastboot command won't help them.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] surdu_petru:
I don't think you understood me :

Yes, I used fastboot command to relock bootloader ... so from Phone unlocked -> Phone locked !

EDIT:

Maybe it's not working on P9 Lite but it's working on Huawei MediaPad M3 8.4 ( hi3650 )

unfortunately, I can no longer find the unlock code for the P9 Lite because I would like to test

(fastboot oem relock "unlock_bootloader_key") - it should work as well
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Yes, it is common knowledge that my IQ is not particularly high, I'm sorry...

So far so good, however, once I reboot to recovery I see the following on the phone's screen:

Error NO : 2 (load failed!)

[Google Pixel 6] krbjmpr:
You get missing file errors because partition likely encrypted.

I am not sure reloading firmware will get you past pin. If file system not damaged, let it boot as far as you can. Hopefully startup pin not required. If it isn't, you may be able to change through myaccount.google.com

Is there a way to route at least one app sound to a specific output, and everything else stays on main sound output. Had samsung and I loved this functionality. All I want is to be able to listen music without been disturbing by notifications and random sounds in other apps
[Asus Zenfone 9] krbjmpr:
Long ago, when doing Uber/ Lyft, I needed to separate the apps for audio.

I use Samsung Buds, and I paired LEFT first, for Uber, Right for Lyft. Do Not Disturb was turned on, exceptions for Uber and Lyft. Also set both using Automate and AppOps to not have audio focus. This was on a S4 initially, then moved to LG 8 iv lte tablet.

Buds were call permissions, bluetooth to vehicle was media permission, and Headphone Jack did everything else. Automate is what I used to distinguish apps for left and right. Was also rooted.
