I got a clean one replacement. I forgot it tries to update instantly as soon as you plugged it in and it turned on. My fiber connection made sure it was fast and I couldn't turn it off in time. I can return it and then get another, but I'm starting to wonder now why? I mean, can you use custom launchers on rooted ones or anything like that? What am I missing by just being on the latest FW?

What stick should I get if I want to be able to root and just play around with it and install things, like what's the best model/version?

Thanks guys.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
There last rootable sticks were the 3rd gen / Lite with firmware below PS7273 (early 2022). Doubt Amazon still has any old stock of these. You'd have to try your luck somewhere else.

Using a custom launcher doesn't require root, but it gets you better results.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:
Yeah I'm fine finding one on ebay or something, so look for a 3rd Gen or 'Lite' Fire Stick, do the differen't released models have numbers you can check to see if they are before 2022 or what? Also which one is the most powerful I'm assuming not the 'Lite' version?

OH and thank you/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
The fastest fully rootable FireTV by far is the 2nd gen Cube. If you can find one that is new (sealed) you know it can be rooted. There's also temp root for the 3rd gen Cube, that was only patched in November.

For the Sticks you have to guess based off the serial numbers if they are old stock. The original 4k stick and 3rd gen Sticks (Lite and 3rd gen are the same hardware, different remotes) are similar in terms processing power. You'd have to check the root threads for those two Sticks to get an idea what the serial number range is that you want.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:
This is exactly what I needed to know thanks. I've sent my replacement cube back nd getting a refund, I'll probaby get the latest one again for my main TV/viewing, and keep an eye out on ebay for the 2nd gen and grab that and mod it etc in the future.

I don't care about the sticks I just want the best/most powerful one that can be hacked so like you say 2nd gen cube.

Thanks again :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:
Edit: I just messaged about 10 sellers with 2nd gen cubes asking what firmware they have. Which FW should I be after?

Thanks again, very helpful.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
The 2nd gen Cube root thread says that they all had PS7229 (can be rooted) or older firmware up until it was discontinued.

As long as it's new, never been opened and registered, it will work. The seller won't know the firmware if it's actually still new and sealed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:
I actually just got replies from about 10 sellers - they tell me they are all fully updated. I guess finding an old one is going to be tough.

Would one of the sticks be easier to find?

View attachment 6039919
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
There is no way to tell what the firmware version is on a Fire TV until you register it and check in FireOS settings. Either the sellers are BS-ing you and don't know the firmware version or the units are not actually new.

You are going to have a tough time finding vulnerable sticks or cubes if you go for used ones.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:
I mean the sellers are telling me the cubes have the latest updates etc, hence they can't be rooted right? they're not saying the opposite. one of them sent me this;

View attachment 6039923
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
The cube has to be new, never opened.

Any stick or cube that has been registered and used in the last year will be updated and past rootable.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:
Right. Are the only others the OG fire sticks? because I couldn't stand how slow they were anyway. I'll just do what I can with the new Cube I get.Does anyone remember where that guide was that told you how to stop it updating even on the first plug-in? I domn't wanna screw it up.. Iwon't bother getting it replaced then D:

Hey you guys and ladys,

I have a nother thing with the call history on the htc touch hd. ive installed spb phone suite 4 (thinks it does the same as phonealarm) i like it verry much only nog it also chance the call history to a picture call history, nothing wrong with that, but it is ugly (my opinion) so my question, is there a way (or a tweak) to get the original touch hd call history list back? (i love that one) oja, and i still want to use the phone suite, anyone?

thanks in advantage.

[Touch HD General] dh-paule:
go to phone suite options, uncheck "dialer extensions"
[Touch HD General] poceh:
Not to start a new thread.... I'm going to post my question here...

Do you know how we can show "call duration" time in call history? Right now it's only showing the date (and time if it's today) of all calls, but not the duration.

The same thing I missed in the main phone dialer screen. In the old dialer (from original touch with manila 2d dialer) when you or the other party ends a call - it is showing for a few seconds the "last call duration". Here it just logs the last call without any timers.

The only way to find out call duration times is to open all calls for a specific contact, which is highly uncomfortable....

In the future please do not create a new thread for this sort of problem. Unfortunately there are quite a few dead links across XDA, and we have no way of knowing which ones work, nor do we have any way of fixing them. The best you can do is report posts with dead links so that we can remove them.

It also seems like the T807 is a rather obscure device for which firmware is not commonly available, except for Turkey CSC.

It is not possible. If you really want to, watch it on Youtube.
[General Questions and Answers] Samarimama:
I mean A15 to A5 like a replacement. Why it is notpossible?
[General Questions and Answers] marjanoos:
because embedded software won’t recognize the chip at all.

You won’t be able to put 14900k Intel cpu in Z690 without bios update. This is simple explanation.

Not Intel nor ARM processors. I mean Apple processors.

I know, I just want to know if I can make a replacement-like of A15 to iPad 2's A5
[General Questions and Answers] Samarimama:
Ok, can I do it with the A5 and A7 they are almost similar.
[General Questions and Answers] marjanoos:
You clearly didn’t catch the analogy here.

Even if the pinout would be the same, it’s just not plug & play. There’s an additional software which makes SoC communicate with other components. And even more - there are hardware components (like those which bring the power to the SoC) which are probably incompatible.

If you don’t understand why is that impossible for you, then you should drop this idea.
[General Questions and Answers] Samarimama:
Ok, can I replace the motherboard with something similar?
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
I don’t think so. Replacing the motherboard on Apple products is already pretty difficult.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nobby_nobody:
Ok, the story goes like this, I unlocked the bootloader of my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and installed a custom rom, everything was working perfectly, I was seeing (and still see) the "This phone bootloader is unlocked" warning with booting, but it was working, then, I tried to boot in recovery mode by doing `adb reboot recovery` and the device isn't starting anymore, it keeps getting into this boot loop where when trying to start Android it resets itself, I can't find a way to put the device into recovery or download mode.

So is anybody out there faced the same issue?

P.S. F@ck you Samsung and your stupid planned obsolescence.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Arka_10:
Recently I changed my RMX1931 display with og display. After that i notice i can enroll fp only in every rom but it never unlocks sometime unlock after 50+ tries.

Then i moved to first color os build (android 9) there fp unlock works each and every time.

I also tried calibrating fp with rubber but failed most time (0x53 zoom out multiple abnormal) i was close to (0x29 ssnr failed) after i open device again and tried to calibrate. I also able to pass the test by hooking all value in range manually this also did nothing.

So i figured out some firmware they modified with added check (like if mobile is repaired unauthorized or not just guessing)..

So finally if anyone with Realme X2 Pro facing same issue after changing display where fp enroll works fine but it never unlock in all RUI based roms just flash below zip from magisk and it will unlock each and every time.

For other Realme Device i haven't tested it but process would work for any realme device where pulling goodixfp fw from old color os build will make your fp unlock work each and every time (Don't have to depend on service centre)

Let me know below if anyone facing similar issue with realme x2 pro or any realme device after display change i am open to help.

Hi guys I am by no means professional, nor do I know if I am going to explain this properly or use the right terminology so please forgive for any error and feel free to correct where needed. I did not write create nor have any part in the guides or tools I post this is just knowledge I have gained through doing research all credit where it is due, to the creators and the OP's of said knowledge and tools. I noticed some confusion on why MTK devices bootloop etc when installing custom roms or stock firmware using terminal commands like fastboot, its because most mtk devices use whats called a scatter file to properly install on the device. and need to be flashed with the SP flash tool you can get that here sp flash tool and learn how to use it here sp flash tool guide Now what is a scatter file? That would take a long time to explain, so I am going to leave that to my friends over at droidtips they do a great job on explaining it and on how to create one you can read that here What is a scatter file and how to create one . hopefully this helps some of you out if you have any questions comments concerns or issues feel free to reply to this thread and I will try my best to help you have a blessed day
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] mwitt08:
I've been trying things for weeks now, I need some help.

SM-T820 (wifi) version.

Have been running stock OS since I got the tablet. Couple months ago it wouldn't boot. It's been slow since the Pie updates, but it was at least stable.

Got time to investigate and found it would boot when hard restarted, but then crash into a boot loop.

I tried:

Factory Reset - Result was slightly longer time between crashes. Eventually could get through the set up screens, and crashing got worse.

Flashed with Odin to the last 8.0 Oreo (same SW Rev, so thought it should work). - Wouldn't even boot

Flashed to the first Pie version. - Result was it would boot and still crash.

Flashed to last Pie version. should have been same software I started with. - Result was slightly better than the first factory reset, but ultimately still would crash and get into boot loops.

So I abandoned official OS and flashed on TWRP 3.2.1 (3.5.2 wouldn't load) and Lineage 18.1. - Result was no Crashes through all of set up. Got hopeful. But now it crashes and freezes quickly.

Is this a hardware failure? Are there any tools I could use to test this or understand what is going on?

Unfortunately the tablet wasn't stable enough to do much. It took probably 20 boots to get through a set up to then remove my google account, enable the developer tools, and allow OEM unlock. I didn't get USB debugging enabled.

I'm currently considering installing the a tweaked OS and seeing what that does, but I'm not hopeful. Any other ideas?

Any advise is appreciated.

[Google Pixel 8] lorenzin:
Hi all,

On a rooted Pixel 8, to regain root after installing an OTA upgrade - do I need to flash back the *initial* patched init_boot.img (from the original factory image) that I patched with Magisk when I first rooted the phone?

This doesn't feel right to me - my guess is that I somehow need to patch a *new* init_boot.img after installing the OTA upgrade. But the zipfile for the full OTA image I downloaded from the Google download portal only has a payload.bin file, not the extractable zip file in the factory image that I used when I first rooted the phone. So I'm not sure where to find that updated init_boot.img to patch!

I've been reading the instructions in this very helpful XDA guide to installing OTA updates and keeping root:

How to install OTA updates and keep root on your Google Pixel phone

Looking for a way to keep root access after OTA updates on your Google Pixel phone? Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do so.

www.xda-developers.com

and trying to make sure I understand all the steps for the recommended method before I actually start the process. It all seems pretty straightforward - until I get to step 7 ("Now that you're on the latest build, it's time to patch the boot image with Magisk for regaining root access. We have a dedicated tutorial for how to install Magisk, so take a look at it if you need any help.") The tutorial link is 404, but I've already installed Magisk and successfully gone through the patch-and-flash process once - so I feel like the only piece I'm missing is where that boot image needs to come from.

My apologies for the n00b question. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...
[Google Pixel 8] Lughnasadh:
You must patch and flash the init_boot image from your current build.

You can grab it by extracting it from the factory image (use English language for the page if your build doesn't show up)

or

If you have the Full OTA zip (or factory image zip) stored on your internal storage of your phone, Magisk can extract and patch the init_boot image for you. Just point it to the appropriate Full OTA or factory image zip file. You will still have to flash the patched image via fastboot.

You can also extract it from the Full OTA zip via Payload Dumper.
[Google Pixel 8] t-ryder:
Use Pixel Flasher. Download full OTA file every month, flash the rooted OTA. Keep it convenient.

Link to Pixel Flasher

Link to full OTA files

Want to update the device fully? Flash OTA two times each flash to one slot.
[Google Pixel 8] lorenzin:
Thank you! That's exactly the clue I needed. Somehow I misread the instruction "Don't choose the latest factory image for upgrading, as the inbox flashing script will wipe the device by default." to mean that I shouldn't use the factory image at all, but I realize now that it just means don't use it *for sideloading*.

I really appreciate the clear and comprehensive explanation here, and also the bonus pointer to Payload Dumper!
