[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] henonchschonleinpurp:
I see, You have already posted the question and got a reply. You are asking the 2nd time?! Brother, you have to factory reset. Thats the only way. You cannot recover internal storage, Phone is bigger than the storage.

Now it is not turning on? Mostly the download odin/mode is not corrupted when we flash some malicious software. If you don't know before, our phone has 3 partitions/ modes, in the order of loading: download mode --> recovery mode --> system. System partition gets corrupted. Download mode is usually resistant.

1. Try booting to download=odin mode=safe mode=fastboot mode​

(volume down+home+power for 10 seconds till blue screen appears) --> flash the correct firmware (based on correct model number) for your device using odin v3.10.7. That should restore the phone and restart the phone to originial state. Install the correct firmware from samfirmware/firmwarefile/sammobile. You could search them online.

2. Unable to boot to download mode? make sure all three buttons work.​

For me personally, home button didn't work and hence I wasn't able to boot. So fix all three buttons and try.

3. Boot to download mode without buttons - using a usb jig​

This requires some expertise in electronics, it requires some usb/something. Few mobile stores should be familiar of the technqiue. Do check the internet regarding that.

Do check with how other users handled this situation, in these threads:

Hello,a freind of mine is concerned about her daughter's safety.she wants to install a spy software(clevguard whatsapp) in her phone but she read somewhere that xiaomi phones keep killing background apps and now she is confused about what to do .

Can anybody tell me about this ?

If she allows all the permissions needed for the app to work successfully in background like autostart,do not optimize ,lock app in memory ,turn off miui optimization etc.Will that app work successfully in background?

If anyone has used a spy app on xiaomi phones then plz tell which steps are essential to keep that thing work in phone.

I have a Unlocked GP7 Pro. Anyone using ZeroTier? Since the android 13 update (I am now on the latest 14) I cannot get it to work.

I will connect with the app and it will show connected in the ZeroTier dashboard but I do not have access to my network.

I have a S22+ on android 14 and a Oneplus 7 Pro on android 13 and they work with no issues. I did a factory reset today hoping to fix the problem but that did not solve the problem either.

Any help or advice would be awesome!

[General Questions and Answers] xidotx:
Alright Im in the learning phase rn and this is my issue. I installed a system ui on an android 8.1.0 tablet. Unknown to me there was a trap set by the creator of the apk that if the aid number didn't match with the aid number in the apk it locks your device. It does something to the system ui where you can not access anything other than the volume controls, the power and restart menu and the !message that pops up saying you're locked out and to contact him on telegram. I did this because I tried to adb into the device with an otg cable with no success. I was thinking that the malicious apk disabled the USB debugging but when I contacted the creator he said that it doesn't disabled debugging so apparently this was off prior to installation of the apk. The target device is connect to a couple of WiFi signals which I spoofed and was able to get it to connect to my device but when I tried to do wireless debugging it still would not allow me to gain shell. I have ran mtkclient and another program called hexaflash thats used to flash a device even if the USB is disabled but when I run those programs it doesn't read the target. I tried to run the programs while in start up and it makes connection but as soon as it boots up all the way it blocks any USB activities. I ran a nmap scan of the target while connected and it shows that port 22 is open. I have a smaller version of Kali Linux called net hunter that I have customized with more tools that I got from the Kali website. I have Been trying to run a ssh bruteforce password cracker called hydra on the ssh log in but haven't had any success as of yet. What I need to know is am I wasting my time with this and the device is hard bricked or is there something I don't know of. Another way to gain shell access to uninstall this systemui ? Maybe some metasploit exploit or something?

If the device is reading on boot up can I adb wait-for-device and execute a command to adb uninstall com.android.systemui?

Im pretty sure a dirtycow exploit should work.

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Take note that both ADB and Fastboot require USB debugging to be enabled to work. USB debugging allows your computer to communicate with your Android device in a way that is not possible without it.

Whether Android is rooted or not is basically irrelevant.
[General Questions and Answers] xidotx:
Well good news. After dealing with this headache for the month I finally figured out what to do. I downloaded Google's Find My Device app and remembered that the target device was registered with Google before this nightmare happened. Upon inspection of the app I saw that I could remotely factory set any device that was registered with that account . Only other thing I had to do was spoof a wifi hotspot signal that the device has logged into before and saved . Once that was done I rebooted the device and automatically connected to the signal and let the Google god's take care of everything else after hitting the reset button. Imstill would like to know how to do this tima device that's not been registered with Google.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nicoco19:
Hello everyone,

Should I change from S23 ULTRA to S24 ULTRA??? Are there any big differences between the two models that justify changing???

I have questions about the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra:

Do you know if there is accident detection and satellite calls?

Another question also comes to me, I know that on the latest Apple models, the most recent iPhones, it is possible to play certain console games such as Resident Evil and others, I had heard that the Galaxy S24 range should benefit from this technology but strangely Samsung no longer talks about it or not at all. Do you know if this possibility will arrive on the S24?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and have a good weekend in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Well I just got mine. To say first accounts are that it feels like a step down from my s23. The screen colors are muted and it is not as bright. I haven't figured out why. I also don't like seeing a frame on the edge of the screen. Gabe to give it some time I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] malikin:
nope, all the same for the extra $630 (with tradein)

just a flat screen and spying AI software
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nicoco19:
Hello @malikin and @ekerbuddyeker

Good morning,

we agree, there is little point in moving from the S23 ULTRA to the S24 ULTRA.

It's expensive to have a whim financially lol.

I believe that my Galaxy S23 ULTRA still has a bright future ahead of it ;-)

Thank you and have a good weekend.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] fkofilee:
I'm going to play the other side of the coin here.

- The Titanium Frame adds a good feel here, I can personally tell you between the 2 that the Tit Frame is very nice compared to the S23 Ultra.

- Flat Screen means (Ideally) cheaper screen replacements

- Back Glass / Material feels really nice in my view, Deffo slight bump over the last gen

- S Pen feels nice to use.

- Camera seems to be slight better at processing images

- AI Features seem good now they have been intertwined with One UI (I also have a Pixel 8 Pro so can tell you how good they can be)

- Lots of others (Minor) but I am still working my way through it

- Pre Order bonus of Watch 6

I only upgraded as my contract was due and wanted to keep it at the same price it has been (UK Three) without the boost later this year being like 10% almost in the last couple of years.

Naturally all of the software features will mostly trickle down to the S23 Ultra with One UI 6.1 etc. Update

Should you? - Depends on your Transition options and cost.

For me yes, maybe not for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] p.dixon0:
So I went from a SnapDragon S22U to the S23U last year and now the S24U and there is very little difference between all 3 - the S23U was basically a refined S22U with better battery life, the S24U is basically a refined S23U with a flat screen and Titanium frame.

Photos from both S22U and S23U were pretty much on a par, I haven't had the S24U long enough to test properly but the initial results I have tested on long range zoom show there is a definite downgrade at 10x and above, which is probably to be expected. I don't actually know how much more 'normal' use the 5x will get as I tend to take quite a lot of photos when we go on vacation, and I haven't been anywhere as yet with the S24U.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lil_kujo:
I think that after viewing some videos of the testing the phone has been subjected too, the s23 ultra has better stability with long term high demand use. It goes down to about 70% throttle performance and the s24 ultra drops down to 60% performance. Given the first minutes the performance is high it can't sustain it even with the new chamber and die to the thermal limits that Samsung has placed on it. According to many it's around 42c which is very low.

You can see some extreme test here where the s23 ultra beat every phone and now the s24 fails to due so.

Another one here shows the difference in hear management and how hot the sd8 g3 gets and throttles.

So I would say that if you want the new antireflective screen, also it's a harder screen with light scratches at level 7 with deeper grooves at level 8 and 9 which means it's a better screen then the s23 ultra

The low or less vibrancy is due to the new filter and also Samsung has gone down the blues but it's very minimal as seen here

It really depends on what you need. For some it will majes sense mostly if you will pay it of on a monthly fee for others perhaps it won't make sense. Do you mind the phone not been as a beast in thermal management as the s23 ultra or you do care about that then the s23 ultra seems better.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lil_kujo:
Screen color
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] p.dixon0:
Even if the S24U throttles to 60% as opposed to the S23U's 70%, the SD8G3 will most likely still actually be faster and also possibly drawing less power as it will be lower in its frequency range.

I have both devices so I'm not hating on the S23U - I've really enjoyed the S23U (as I did the S22U SnapDragon version before that) and I'm still trying to decide which one I'm sending back to Sammy.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lil_kujo:
So i got my device today and here are my first impressions. First the color issues that many people complain about at least for me is hardly noticeable. It's more when looking at whites: the s23 ultra a different warmth. But in terms of being a bad display not at all. Second, just as you mentioned right after setting it up i put it against my s23 ultra and at least the 2 hour benchmarks that I ran on them with no break one after another even after throttling the s24 ultra does have a significant better performance it's noticeable when running 3d benchmarks and you look at the screen. Now while it's True that the s24 ultra throttles it's not far from my s23 ultra. Third the flat screen does look great and I can tell you it will resist a fall, dropped mine already ( my souls jump put of my body when I dropped it to the pavement, it survived unscratched. It still was a pain to see tho, and lastly camera wise and zoom wise I really don't see any difference at 100x other both looks watery, at 30 they both look very similar and not something that should be an issues. That said the shutter speed is faster and moving targets are pictured better on the s24 ultra by a lot I would say.

Anyways I tested both devices and at least in my opinion it has some improvements that if you get a good deal makes it worth it. I was not really excited about it but once you have it and see it your opinion will change. I loved the s23 ultra but this does bring some improvements that are not software based. The screen is really nice and also the build quality.last year i drop my s23 ultra also and it ended getting a big scuff on one corner even with a case on.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lil_kujo:
All the results after almost two hours of benchmarking, both did very good but the s24 had the edge always.

The higher scores are the s24 ultra, the thermal graph the new ui is for the s24 ultra. At the last test I added 1c more to the limit and they still hold up well.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
I've been giving serious thought to upgrading to the S24U from my S23U. However, after reading the multiple negative threads - especially with regards to the camera, I think I'll wait. The loss of the 10X optical zoom is a big negative, as I use it in my S23U a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lil_kujo:
You wont really notice the difference and under lowlight the sensor on the s24 ultra performs better. I have both ans tested both out, it would be very hard to notice a huge difference as they both look watery.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
No watery on my S23U.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jaseman:
FLAT screen says it all for me! Hate curved screens!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
So far, all I've noticed is that the S24 Ultra zoom (10/30/100x) all have crazy AI processing that removes tons of detail and colour making the pictures look super washed out. The S24 Ultra no longer has 920fps super slow-mo, and you can't remove the Gesture Hint bar at the bottom when using gestures. You can install Goodlock and NavStar to use ADB to remove it manually but this could break in an update so it's kind of risky as that bar at the bottom will eventually burn the screen over time if it comes back after an update and NavStar/ADB can't remove it anymore.

Other than that, it's the identical phone, which basically means the S24 Ultra is an S23 Ultra with less features and "beta" AI processing.

I would assume all of this will be fixed in software updates, but right now the whole phone kind of feels beta and not finished. I'm having tons of software issues like my S Pen saying it's not in the phone every time I put it on the Samsung Trio Wireless Charger that I got directly from Samsung. And the Vivid colour space is not working right now (or possibly not at all because of the new display). Natural and Vivid both have basically identical colour. They're both really washed out (which personally I prefer, but it's worth noting that the crazy bright Vivid colours do not work).

The official Samsung screen protectors also do not fit the display. Everyone keeps saying it's so the case will fit, but that doesn't make any sense seeing at the screen protector exceeds passed the LCD into the bezel on the top and bottom, but doesn't go passed the display on the left and right making this bright green and pink vertical flashing line on both sides.

So far, I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want to send it back and keep using the S23 Ultra. But the only reason I'm considering it, is because with the trade in, I get $1000 off, which means I basically have an infinite phone rental program where I can finance this phone for a year for like $60 a month (with other discounts), and after the year is up and it's paid off, I can trade it in for another $1000 off the S25 Ultra, and I can just keep doing this and basically rent a phone for a year for $60 a month forever.

Also, Canadian pricing, that's like $43ish USD a month and I just always have the latest phone (which cost about the same if I were to just buy it out right every three years instead).

New phone every year, new included 1 year warranty, new battery every year, it's a pretty solid method of upgrades and cost the same as upgrading every 3 years, but with the gesture hint thing and losing 960fps, I'm kinda thinking of giving it back and keeping the S23 Ultra just because it's a more solid and refined phone. The S24 Ultra will (hopefully) end up as good, but right now it's actually a downgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hill67:
The reason I changed was the 7 years of updates. If I want to sell it after 3 years there is still 4 years of updates left and that makes the phone more valuable.

Next to that the S24U is blazing fast. I thought the S23U was fast but the S24U is even faster.

Also when I bought the S23U not everything was perfect but during the year it became better and better with updates as will with the S24U.

So I don't mind the screen is not as good yet. There will be an update that will fix that.

And it has a flat screen and that's a plus too 💪
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hill67:
I forgot to say that I got the S24U for €300 after selling my S23U and all the pre sale bonuses😁

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
If you still have a bootloop, try going into download mode by holding both volume buttons and having phone plugged into a computer while booting up.

Then use some kind of a tool, I use Bifrost to download Samsung's OneUI images for your device.

You should end up with 5 files inside of an archive. Extract those 5 files and insert them into Odin, respective of their name (AP_* goes into AP, BL_* goes into BL, etc.). The remaining file, HOME_CSC_* goes into USERDATA (if I can remember correctly out of my head).

Expect that this WILL factory reset your device back to OneUI. Do the initial setup and you're back running.

This is only a tutorial for how to get out of a bootloop. I'll describe GSI flashing soon on the phh's wiki.

go to your app list

keep your desired app pressed until some addtional menu appears

and keep pressing

slide them now
