[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] parrots_:
Got this device some months ago, and had a LOT of flaws. Firstly, it seems like the back cover is wrong, as it says its a G935V on the back cover, but Download Mode says G935T.

The phone doesn't turn on at all unless plugged in, leading me to believe there's an issue with the battery.

Then, when it is plugged in, it attempts to boot into recovery, and it differs in how long the "recovery booting" message up, depending on the cord.

I'm used to be able to boot into Download Mode, but now either doing Volume Up in DL mode just reboots it, or the phone automatically reboots when it enters DL mode.

Back when I was able to boot into DL mode properly, I had no detection on Odin, leading me to believe the only chance I had was JTAG or EDL flash.

So is there any good guides on how to enter EDL? Additionally, I do need the firehose files for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] parrots_:
Apparently, I might not need test points. Found out about T-Flash on older versions of Odin, which allows the broken device to boot from the card. Might make a seperate thread for this, but if anyone has a G935T, could you send the microSD content somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Bit_Flip:
I'm now on the last major update (Android 13/One UI 5.1) and I wonder, what would be the best course of action to keep it maintained without losing much of the experience or functionality? Is it still even possible to do anything at this point? Because I see people saying that once you upgraded, you can't downgrade. Also, for what it's worth, there's apparently one last security update remaining before I lose the ability to downgrade.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I'm still running on Android 9 on my N10+, last update was almost 4 years ago. Last factory reset was 3.5 years ago. No malware in all that time. Security simply isn't an issue.

Anything from Android 9 up is relatively secure unless you do stupid things.

Personally I'm more concerned with firmware upgrades/updates breaking the device than malware. A factory reset kills any trojan, virus, etc that can infect a stock Samsung with a locked bootloader running on Android 9 or higher. Someone would need to unlock the bootloader in order to bypass this safeguard.

Be aware of the vulnerabilities your current firmware has and take steps to mitigate them.

Redundantly backup your critical data regularly to at least 2 drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Bit_Flip:
But what about 0 day exploits and such? I mean, there's a reason manufacturers push these updates every few months.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
These protocols are second nature to me now...

I use NextDNS and Karma firewall.

No social media or sales apps are ever installed.

All downloads are vetted before installed or moved from the download folder.

Any unknown downloads are deleted.

Gmail only, and downloads from it only when needed including jpegs and pngs. Google password is impossibly long and complex.

Google play Services is disabled unless needed.

Playstore is blocked. Apps are generally never updated.

Unknown texts and attachments are deleted without opening.

I use Brave (for general browsing anf site login) and Samsung browsers (for streaming vids with added ad blockers). I back out of bad sites or close the browser and tab if needed. Clear cache if things get really dicey. No auto downloads or app installs.

No foriegn PCs or drives are ever permitted to connect to the device. No one is ever allowed to borrow it.

Wifi, NFC, mirroring are always disabled.

I don't "sample" apps. Only install new ones if needed and they are scrutinized after install as well as scanned before installed with online Virustotal. If there's any signs of glitches or bad behavior they are deleted.

Manual scan with Malwarebytes but no active antivirus is ever running.

I monitor the Download folder daily as well as power consumption and Karma firewall.

If any unusual behavior is spotted I track it down right there and then. If any malware makes it in and I can't eradicate it in 2 hours, factory reset.

All critical data is redundantly backed up to at least 3 drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC/phone. Backups include installable copies of all apps including Samsung system apps. My SD card is my data drive, another barrier.

This phone goes all over the internet a lot. No breaches yet on this load in over 3.5 years. I'd say it's reasonably secure. No upgrades or updates mean the playing field is stable and predictable; malware is easy to spot. Zero down time troubleshooting upgrades/updates and finding work arounds. No factory resets for upgrades because there are none. I spend very little time doing maintenance or troubleshooting as a result. I run SD Maid pro, Samsung Device Care cleaner (once a day), Galaxy App Booster and clear the system cache about every 2 weeks or as needed. It just keeps running fast and very stable. Less downtime, more playtime. I use what works best. No 🥕🥕🥕 needed.

Android 9 and 10 are fairly bulletproof if used correctly is my conclusion. Plus no scoped storage to screw things up and waste cpu cycles. Samsung updates tend to break things, it's been like that for years.

Most malware is installed by the user themselves... there's no saving dumb bunnies.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Bit_Flip:
Assuming people have time to do all of that on a regular basis, this is still not ideal, even for someone who has no problem getting his hands dirty like me. But disabling functionality like WiFi or NFC? I might as well get a flip phone. I thought migrating to something like Graphene or Lineage would help extend its life for another year or two, but apparently none of them support it. Guess I'll live with it until I hopefully find a better option.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Good housekeeping and security protocols should be used no matter what firmware you have. That kind of attitude is exactly how you get compromised. They latest security updates don't negate the risks if you're sloppy.

I have a cheap unlimited grandfathered data plan so no wifi needed. NFC devices aren't used by me. Stores don't need to communicate with my device. Foolish to have that running in the background unless it serves a damn useful purpose.

The N10+ is no flip phone. I just have my own agenda. As long as this hardware and firmware fulfill their mission well, I will continue to use them. The base hardware is more important than having current firmware for operational capabilities.

to try another theme ?! (the color of the icons can be changed) on my version I still don't have One UI 6 - I changed CSC to Ukraina for call record and I still haven't received any updates (telefonul era pe Orange Romania cand l-am cumparat)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
I found out that I could only change that menu with Good Lock and the Quick Star module but I had to install them using tunnelbear VPN and by disabling the SIM. Anyway, I went back to OneUi 5.1 because there are some issues and bugs with this new update like the burn in problem with the icons, jittery zoom when recording videos and inconsistent fonts and colors. Not to mention the fact that they still have not fixed the issue of low fps when recording in FHD mode. I was honestly looking forward to make the camera app be more responsive with the advanced intelligence option but seeing as this is not available for me, I see no point in sticking with this update.

[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] busythebees:
Hey, I have a Redmi K60, meaning the original stock firmware is the Chinese version which isn't ideal. I'm currently Play integrity is getting progressively more and more difficult to pass, and I suspect some of my apps are now checking for strong integrity which cannot be passed on a rooted and/or custom ROM device. Is it possible to install the POCO F5 ROM on my Redmi K60 (both devices have the same codename of mondrian, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause any issues). Also, would this be counted as stock firmware and therefore fix the issues with play integrity verification? Thank you in advance.
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] silencer666:
If your issue is just with play integrity, consider installing the EU rom.
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] kaigetsu3:
It is possible to flash the Poco F5 Pro ROM to the K60, but locking the bootloader in that state will brick the phone. (You must lock the bootloader to pass strong integrity).

At this time, the only option is to continue using the Chinese ROM or flash the euROM and use the Magisk module.
[Poco F5 Pro / Redmi K60 (China)] busythebees:
Sorry (if I'm being honest, typed the last part of this post while drunk!), forgot to mention that Im currently on EU ROM and that's the reason I'm struggling with play integrity - they've recently removed the built-in fix from the ROM, and some of my banking apps still refuse to work even with magisk hide + play integrity fix installed.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] pstglia:
Hi,

I have a rk3229 based device (Android 4.4 Box - 1Gb RAM - 4G storage) and I'd like to mess with it

My initial attempt is trying to compile a working Android kernel.

The "stock" img I own use's kernel 3.10.0.

Rockchip has a git repo and a "release" kernel on the same version (see [1])

I'd like to use it (not the mainline) to keep compatibility with Android libs & interfaces

Questions:

- Has anyone tried to do it? Is this a working kernel / not a broken one?

- It's possible to compile it with versions higher than gcc 4.6 (with minor changes)?

- Mali proprietary can be compiled with this kernel version?

Thanks in advance

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] AcidRain2012:
Ok so i rooted my LG G8X Thinq today. Did this via the QFIL method, officially got root with magisk patched boot image. Tested to see if i rly had root and all was amazing. I enabled the zygist module in magisk and this caused a boot loop!!!!

How can i remove and fix this?

What i have attempted so far:

1) flashing the backup of the boot_a/b actually gets me out of the boot loop, but then i no longer have root. thus i cannot remove zygist from magisk.

2) desperately thought that uninstalling magisk would magically fix this, it did not.

3) flashed the patched rootboot image, got back into boot loop so i flashed back to the backup.

4) i hear you can delete system files with fastboot, im unable to boot into fast boot via hard keys or adb reboot fastboot. (in attempt to delete /data/adb/modules, magisk module dir?)

5) desperately did a factory reset in hopes this would magically remove everything for me, it did not.

im using the ATT_US variant and was unable to find any KDZ in attempt to possibly flash the system partition with LGup. This would have been another desperate attempt cause i know little about it and hear flashing the wrong partition could result in hardbrick.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Does anyone else have their silent notifications showing up on the lock screen? I can get around it by manually unchecking the "lock screen" under notification settings. But, if the notification is silent, shouldn't it not show by default?

I find this annoying as well. None of the android devices I've used before show the notification icons for anything that isn't on the lockscreen.

It's definitely a glitch because once the lock screen shows, the icons disappear from the ambient display. I find it infuriating but can't find a fix.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Sheist!:
FYI, a couple of quirks with TWRP I discovered today:

- the 3.7.0-12.0 (128mb) update for sweet dated 11-15-23 does not load recovery on spes. It hangs at the Android logo. No bootloop, just hangs.

Example: enter or boot from the original 3.7.0-12.0 (96mb) for spes, install the newer sweet version (128mb) via install and choose to ramdisk, then reboot to recovery: hangs on Android logo. Repeated behavior.

Fortunately, no other action was needed except to boot from the old TWRP then flash it to ramdisk again.

- Additionally, the 06-11-22 TWRP update (128mb) for spes still shows only as 3.7.0-12.0 at launch in recovery, despite it declaring to be 3.7.0-12.1.
