"funny" thing: Play Store shows "Device integrity" but Wallet still says "device does not meet security requirements" and denies payment... >.<

When looking in the PIF-Thread, I'm afraid, Google is starting to hit the final nails in the casket of NFC-payments on modded devices. :(

Relax, it isn't over until it's over. Follow the instructions in the OP: Play Protect/Play Store Certification Troubleshooting
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Koile:
Ah, thanks. Google Wallet was right, now the Play Store also shows "basic integrity" only. 😅 Google indeed "fixed" it again. 🙄

Nevermind. I'm glad, that my device has got current security patches again. That's more important than NFC-payment for me. So, thanks aztorius! ☺️

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lekeor:
I have a s21 ultra specifically g998b/ds 256gb and I can't get it out of the Samsung logo, I can perfectly enter download mode and change firmware, but I can't enter recovery mode

I think I've tried every possible button combination.

I'm going to try with a new battery and a new charging board, I hope it's not the motherboard because then I'd give up now (€200 for a new motherboard), it gives me hope that it's not the motherboard because Otherwise I don't understand how I can connect it to odin (the same has nothing to do with it)

As an extra piece of information, I also don't know the battery charge level, as soon as I connect it to charge, the loop starts.

Has something similar happened to anyone or do you know of someone who has managed to get it out ? Thank you very much in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] matijav:

Not yet..., I have tried with another battery and another charging board and it is still the same, I suppose it is from the motherboard
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] Elr0ndK:
Hello, I just got this phone and, in general dealing with notification it is a pain in the ass, but the issue I hate the most is that, whenever I get a WhatsApp call, the phone rings but nothing is showing up.

The same was happening installing the Google official dialer app.

What are the options that I have?

I am open until having to put the EU ROM (as a last last resort), if if doesn't void the guarantee.
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] AllComputerWorks4U:
Hi, it could be a notification issue, have you tried turning on calling notifications in the settings?
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] tiennhu89:
Turn on everything in Whatsapp's notifications (in phone setting, not only in whatsapp itself) and see 😉
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] Elr0ndK:
I found out what was the issue, there's a permission setting that's more or less like: "Allow to display pop when the app runs in background", enabling that fixed my issue :D

Now I only need to understand how I can exclude apps from being hibernated from the ultra saver mode and that's basically it.

How did you uninstall it? Depending on the way you uninstalled it you might be able to restore it with adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
[Android TV General] marcpique1998:
I don't know the package name... i did it through adb appcontrol, didn't back up the apk. Do you know any apk to access the inputs on android tv then?
[Android TV General] bigfloppa234:
Try pm list packages -f -u and look for the app you uninstalled, then try restoring it with the command in my previous reply

[General Questions and Answers] oldnewboy:
Hi All,

I have found myself locked out of the 3 network as my phone suddenly will no longer connect after 10 days. 3 admits that they block people from using non-3 locked phones on their network and have advised me to fork out for a 3 handset...

I have unlocked my phone (Kaiser), flashed the ROM, etc. as per the tools here, with no problems. So, my question is this:

Can I lock the phone to the 3 UK network by setting the correct code in the KaiserUnlock program to make it work again? Does anyone know what the code is?

Help with this would be much appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
Sounds to me like they screen imei numbers on their network, it is possible to change ur imei but it is illegal.

i could be wrong about this, i'm not familiar with '3' but we will not be discussing the topic of changing imei numbers. If i see anything about it i will close the thread and send some people's account on vacation.
[General Questions and Answers] oldnewboy:
I'm not interested in changing the IMEI for obvious reasons, but trying to find out if there's another way around it.
[General Questions and Answers] _fm:
when the first time you buy your kaiser, does your 3 works?

if you are using custom ROM now, just try go back to original ROM,.

Or try your SIMCard to another phone, to check wheter its the simcard problem,.

i am waiting for your report,.

EDIT: Have you try THIS ?
[General Questions and Answers] oldnewboy:
Thanks for your response.

It is originally a Vodafone v1615 (KAIS 130), now just over a year old. I have unlocked it using KaiserUnlocker.

Everything on it was working absolutely fine (phone, web, skype etc.) for 10 days, both with an official ROM and the 15+ custom one's I have tested.

To find out if it was 3 blocking my phone I tested:

1. If my 3 SIM works fine in a genuine 3 phone.

2. If another 3 SIM would work in my phone.

That all works fine, so, it must be 3 blocking my phone on their network.

I have reverted back to an official ROM as well as SPL, but still no joy....
[General Questions and Answers] l3v5y:
Complain to 3 customer service?

I think (although I may be wrong) that your contract with 3 doesn't forbid you from using the SIM card in another device, so they have no right to block that device/SIM combination.
[General Questions and Answers] oldnewboy:
I have already spent the best part of an hour discussing this with their "customer service" department, but they are relentless. They say that their SIMs are only guaranteed to work on phones supplied by 3.
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
if you get desperate you may try the "hardware" unlock sim card. They are an actual sim card that you put in your phone.

Thanks for your suggestion! I didn't even know they existed...... :o
[Android Head-Units] Dyidriss:
Recently, I've encountered an unexpected issue with my new Junsun Android headunit installed in my BMW F20 manual transmission car 3 months ago

The problem revolves around the Android screen shutting off intermittently while I'm driving. At times, it restarts immediately, but occasionally, it takes hours before it comes back on.

I've attempted various solutions, including installing new software such as UI4.0 and ID8, and inspecting the wiring, which appears to be intact. Yet, I remain uncertain whether this issue stems from hardware or software.

When I reached out to the seller, they indicated they hadn't encountered this issue before. Their suggestion to power the headunit directly from the car battery worries me, as it might drain the battery excessively, leading to another problem.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? I lean towards suspecting a software glitch, reasoning that if it were a hardware issue, the screen wouldn't reboot.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] technodroid123:
Hi guys,

I recently found that my google wallet suddenly stopped working and gave a warning saying 'your device doesnt meet security requirements', this happened completely randomly even though it was fine yesterday; so i decided to try to update my firmware.

Im currently on version 13.0.6.0 stable, and tried to update to v14.0.6.0 using fastboot. I powered my phone into fastboot (orange text saying fastboot), connected it to my pc and ran the windows update BAT file. But it didnt seem to work and showed this a lot:

View attachment 6037168

I thought there was an issue with windows detecting my fastboot device but checked using fastboot devices in the CMD and is seemed to be detecting it.

View attachment 6037171

i then tried to run the updater BAT file again straight after and it then said this:

View attachment 6037172

Is there a reason why my phone isnt updating? luckily i was able to boot normally as nothing was changed...

UPDATE:

managed to get it working after many hours, however google pay is still saying my software doesnt meet security requirements...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] NOSS8:
Is the bootloader unlocked?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] technodroid123:
Yes, it is. I think that could be a possible reason why my wallet isnt meeting the security requirements, but ive never had this issue before until maybe a few days/ a week ago.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] NOSS8:
That's right, currently Google keeps changing security settings.

Either you root the phone + Magisk modules (works until further modification of Goggle) or you lock the bootloadeer with Miflash (be careful, if your model is CN, you can only lock it with a CN ROM).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] technodroid123:
Ahh ok I understand, thanks a lot for letting me know. Are you having this same issue? Also if I lock the bootloader sand want to unlock it again, will I lose all of my data?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] NOSS8:
Not the same device but the problem also like many, Unlocking or locking the bootloader erases your data, use Xiaomi backup on PC + Micloud synchronization.

No waiting time for a device that has already been unlocked.

For a downgrade it is better not to restore the apps.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] technodroid123:
Ok that's great, thank you very much! :)
[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] mahg:
As per the issue itself, I face the same problem on latest xiaomi.eu beta.

To solve it you can delete a single file from a file manager if you are rooted, or from recovery if not:

ill try this! is it confirmed to be working?

Yeap it works, but now -I'm on latest beta build- Google Wallet complains about security issues and I'm not able to pay anymore.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX 4] technodroid123:
Thanks for the info! Guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens haha

Flashing the latest stable version solves the problem

[Android Head-Units] hectus:
Hello folks

I have a cheap android head unit, i dont even know what brand it is but from what i can tell its mtk based, whatever that really means.

I been struggling trying to figured out a way to get the unit to NOT turn on everytime i turn ignition on, without adding a switch. I would be fine having the ACC and switched power connected together and just turning the unit off with the physical power button, but im not sure it actually sends it to sleep that way? the buttons still light up, i assume i can connected the ILL wire to the switched power from the car, but no use in doing this if the unit still isnt in sleep.

Can someone tell me what state the power button puts the unit in? if its not sleep, is there a way i can get it to do what im looking for?

THanks in advance for help
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sieghartRM:
I downloaded the full Android 13 update from Asus's website for Asus Zenfone 8.

How do I update it through fastboot or is tool like newflasher/flashtool for Asus devices?

The bootloader is unlocked and have rooted LineageOS 19.1. I would prefer if the method will not wipe the device but I do not care if data is lost I just want update it to latest official LineageOS and vendor security.

I did search around a lot on the web and XDA but it just kept returning results on how to update in stock OS.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
I'm not sure what you're asking. If you want to update Lineage OS, you can follow the guides on their site, they are pretty detailed. If you're asking about returning to stock, it is as easy as reboot to bootloader (either manual key or adb reboot bootloader) and run the .bat or .cmd (or .sh) file in the full firmware update's file folder after extracting.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sieghartRM:
I want to update stock OS to Android 13, since it is a requirement for LineageOS 20.0 official

I am on LineageOS 19.1 official with stock OS Android 12.

I would like to upgrade this stock OS to Android 13, since it is requirement for LineageOS 20.0 official.

I could not find any instructions or tools for this, that are relevant or up to date.

Newflasher is this https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-newflasher-xperia-command-line-flasher.3619426 and FlashTool https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-update-04-09-2015-flashtool-version-0-9-19-10-windows-linux-mac.920746. These two tools can be used to update Sony stock OS to latest for device without wiping user data, so I can keep LineageOS as it is without factory resetting it to update to latest security update or if Sony releases new Android version for the device and it is required for latest LineageOS official.

There is also Sony official FlashTool but that is just for flashing stock OS on unlocked bootloader devices.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
I'm confused about all the Sony mentions because you're in the ZenFone forum. If you are infact talking about Zenfone then maybe this thread will help: https://xdaforums.com/t/zenfone-8-firmware-ota-collection.4620171/ it has instructions on OTA/Full firmware updates. If you can find any RAW update, then all you need to do to update to stock OS is to download a raw firmware, enter bootloader, and run the scripts within the folder. From there you should be able to do full or ota updates. Lineage doesn't recommend a dirty flash from major versions (19 -> 20) anyways so your best bet is to take it slow and update from factory images in sequence before updating to newest Lineage, just to be safe.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sieghartRM:
I was just saying it is easier to use these Sony tools than it is for Asus Zenfone 8.

Thanks for linking some relevant and up to date instructions for how to update the OS but I had already found this thread in my search and it does not seem to have instructions to how to flash RAW firmware in fastboot.

From your comment I assume all the instructions on how to flash are in fastboot are in the folder of RAW firmware?

Also I have Sony phones, so I thought there was some easier way to flash the Asus phone.

I probably will not buy any more Asus phones, since they will not allow bootloader unlocking anymore and for me personally, I prefer Sony phones and the tools are better. I only got the Asus Zenfone 8 because it was compact, headphone jack and official LineageOS support.

"If you're asking about returning to stock, it is as easy as reboot to bootloader (either manual key or adb reboot bootloader) and run the .bat or .cmd (or .sh) file in the full firmware update's file folder after extracting."

If you download a RAW firmware, and unzip the file, you should get a bunch of folders and files. If you get META-INF and payload.bin, that is NOT a raw firmware. Please post an image of the unzipped files and I can tell you how to proceed.

The funniest thing is, I had the EXACT same reasons for buying my ZF8. Headphone jack, small enough, and Lineage. I even had a spreadsheet of lineage compatible phones. I almost bought another pixel or even a fairphone!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sieghartRM:
I got the firmware from here https://www.asus.com/uk/supportonly/zenfone 8 (zs590ks)/helpdesk_bios/.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
I'm not sure if I've been unclear or you're just not reading my previous posts. The url you've linked to is not a RAW firmware, it's an ota or "full" update. It has payload.bin... this is not the one you want.

Go read my last post, and then go to the thread I linked you to. Download a firmware that says it's RAW, upon opening/extracting the files in the .zip you will see everything I've referred to in my previous posts. There are also pretty decent instructions in that thread.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sieghartRM:
No, sorry. I misunderstood I thought Asus would support modding the device better like Sony.

So do I just download the dump or full ROM, since that I want latest Android 13 OS for LineageOS 20.0?

Also is it possible to not wipe data?

I know it is recommended to wipe data but I do not have much important stuff on device and I do not want to set up the device again unless I have to.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
You said:

I'm not sure how you would like to upgrade LineageOS using ASUS's stock firmware files.

Perhaps I misunderstood.

If you're asking a how do I update Lineage question, sorry I'm not your guy... I still have a locked bootloader and have been unable to install Lineage as of yet.

Otherwise your question would appear to be "how do you return to ASUS stock, to upgrade Android to 13, then install an updated Lineage?"

The only way I believe you would be able to use any of ASUS's updates, OTA, Full, Dump, RAW, whatever, would be to return to ASUS's stock OS, then upgrade in order. I suggest you do this starting with the latest RAW firmware you can find, flash using the instructions above, then update using sequential full or OTAs until you are on the Android version you desire. Full/OTA updates are usually as simple as drag the .zip to the root of your phone's internal storage and reboot. The initial flash over to ASUS's firmware WILL wipe all of your data. Upgrades between Lineage there are ways to save and restore data I'm sure but you can search for tutorials on that.

If you can't get it from here, or if you're asking another question, then I apologize but that's as much as I'm able (or willing) to help.

Good luck!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sieghartRM:
It seems I may not have to need to update to android 13 as it seems the process is bit different if you already have LineageOS installed.

Thanks, for trying to help.

I will try updating LineageOS and if this does not work I will try to flash RAW through fastboot and flash LineageOS.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This website is my last bit of hope before I lose my mind.

I have a samsung note 3 SM-N900 international version 3G.

I’ve been using it as my main phone since 2013 (it has a sentimental value to me in addition). As is means no flashing (idk what that is anyway) no rooting nothing. I don’t even use it for anything other than phone calls sms and whatsapp.

One month ago I updated it via smart switch from kitkat to lollipop. Everything was working fine.

3 days ago it entered the famous bootloop cycle out of a sudden. It boots after the screen showing Samsung note 3 smn900. I dont even reach the samsung logo screen. I wasn’t even using it that day. I touched the phone for the first time that day and it died on me even though it was charged.

What did I try:

Removing the battery (didn't work)

Slap it (nothing)

Check if the home button is stuck (it doesn’t look like it)

Hold home power and volume up (nothing. I can’t enter the recovery mode. Once I see the dead android on the screen it reboots before showing the recovery options. Maybe im not doing it right)

It only enters the download mode (power plus volume down)

I tried the wondershare dr fone software. The software recognizes the phone but i cannot access that data ofc. When i tried the system repair while entering the download mode to update the firmware, the dr fone software couldn’t download the firmware package (that’s the error i see on the screen)

I changed the battery to a new one. Nothing. And the phone charges and drains as new. With the old and the new battery even when the old was slightly bulged.

I need a way to make this phone work without losing my data for the sake of whatever you believe in.

Please help me pleaaase
