Installation, Important Infos & Download

Installation : State of the art Installation procedure.

Only needed is supported device + Unlocked bootloader.

No needs to have device rooted/Installed TWRP/update device to specific base

Detailed installation guide separately available in download area along with ROM files.

WARNING

Before you root your device you must be aware that

This will void warranty.

As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.

There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide

There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It

Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later

Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!

OTA won't work on rooted device.

ROOT with caution.

On unlocking bootloader you will have warning screen while device boot and as of now no workaround to hide. Though it can be removed with re flashing stock rom + re locking bootloader

You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.

ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

Hello everyone, I have a huge request for you, they replaced the equipment with new one at work and I managed to recover about 15 xplore ix101t1 tablets, nice equipment with a sim card, ethernet input, etc. But there is one problem - there is an old Android 4.4.2 system, which is no longer supported. and neither the store nor the browser works, etc. Is there any way to upload at least a slightly higher Android version for it to work? It has to be a tablet for multimedia on YT, there are no online games, but is it possible to upload a higher Android version? Interestingly, I also have a different Xplore model and there is a problem that when I go to the Play Store I get a "server error" message and it is Android 5.1.

*********************

Witam wszystkich, mam do Was ogromną prośbę, w pracy wymienili sprzęt na nowy i udało mi się odzyskać około 15 tabletów xplore ix101t1, fajny sprzęt z kartą sim, wejściem ethernet itp. Ale jest jeden problem - istnieje stary system Android 4.4.2, który nie jest już obsługiwany. i nie działa ani sklep, ani przeglądarka itp. Czy jest jakaś możliwość wgrania chociaż trochę wyższego Androida żeby działało, musi to być tablet do multimediów na YT, nie ma gier sieciowych, ale czy jest jakaś możliwość wgrania wyższy Android? Co ciekawe, mam też inny model Xplore i jest taki problem, że gdy wchodzę do Sklepu Play wyskakuje mi komunikat „błąd serwera” a tam jest Android 5.1.

I have a Vortex HD65 that I got network unlocked via remote service from ebay (all fine up to here).

I am trying to activate RCS messages on google messages, but always stuck in setting up...

Today was toying around with ENG Mode Menus and saw that in IMS section

IMS->sim1 Primary Card->Common->Operator code

it has a list of code and mine is checked on:

IMS->

Operator_code:

(x) VolTE_Operator_Movistar_Peru

Operator_Code_Textview : 132

View attachment 6059955

I'm am using movistar but not in Peru (Mexico) I believe here movistar is registered as "Telefonica"

that option is in the list but not sure if I should select that one instead, (I know for a fact that the guy thet unlocked my phone was from South America amd his ip from PERU), not sure if that has ANYTHING to do with this value and the tools he used, or if changing it can help me get IMS registered

( ) VolTE_Operator_Telefonica

Should I change thiat?

This is my IMS status, and what I Believe is preventing me from enabling RCS in google messages.

What can I do in this situtation? Am I doing something wrong?

Steps I had done:

1. Flash using fastboot / SP Flash tool (tried both)

2. Hit Power + Vol Up

3. When the mode selection screen appear, "Recovery Mode"

4. Bootloader unlock warning appear, and after few seconds, it reboots again.

5. Booted to system, Eventhough pressing Vol Up + Pwr

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lostboy1952:
I have had the Pixel since it first came out. When they started allowing RAW pictures to betaken with the phone, as a photographer I was ecstatic! The Pixel 6 Pro took flawless RAW photos. When I started taking RAW photos with the Pixel 8 Pro I was disappointed. The result were horrible. The RAW photo looked like it was hazed over whereas the JPG photo looked fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix for it? Even when Iexport the RAW oictures to Lightroom I have to bump up the Clarity to 100%. THis is really disappointing. Thoughts anyone???
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
Can you give us some example screenshots to showcase the difference between the P6 Pro and the P8 Pro in terms of raw?

There is no true RAW in the pixel smartphone world afaik, all RAW files are slightly processed by the phone - however there shouldn't be a big difference between a P6 and P8.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
You sure you're in the right forum?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lostboy1952:
These are two samples. They are hazy and nowhere near what the 7 or 6 produced.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CHH2:
Taken with the tele lens by chance? So far I'm not impressed with the tele lens on the P8P. I didn't have the P7P but the P6P definitely seemed to do better.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
As a "photographer", you should already understand that the RAW images are exactly that - raw images direct from the sensor with minimal processing done to them.

You should also understand that the reason the Pixel cameras are so great isn't due to the camera sensor - it's a freaking tiny image sensor in a phone after all. The reason they are so good is the processing that Google does to the images. By taking RAW images, you are completely bypassing that processing. When you shoot RAW in a Pixel phone, you get all of the negative qualities of the sensor without any of the "Google magic".

Now it is possible that you can take those RAW images into your favorite photo processing app and come up with a magic recipe (ie the right combination of tweaks) that is better than Google's processing. But the odds are pretty low this will happen.

If you really have some reason to shoot RAW (and I would not suggest it for regular "point and shoot" situations you find yourself in), then at least shoot RAW+JPEG so that you have both files and can choose which one you like better.

Now to the honest (and brutal) critique portion of this post..... In the first image you posted, the man sitting is clearly out of focus. The camera focused on the branches in the foreground, not the man. No amount of the "clarity" setting in LR is ever going to fix that. The second image is a very mono chromatic image to start with, but looks fine IMHO. I mean it clearly needs some more contrast added in post production to remove the "hazy" look, but that is to be expected with RAW files. In other words, there is nothing wrong with the RAW images you are taking, except that which was self induced (bad focus and subject matter).

The fact that you don't even notice that the image is out of focus before posting it in a "complaint thread" leads me to believe you use the term "photographer" loosely and you should really just be letting the camera take JPEG images. RAW isn't some magic wand that produces better photographs. In fact, editing RAW images (which is ALWAYS required- regardless of the type of camera you are using) into good images takes a lot more time, knowledge and ability than just shooting JPEGs, and I don't believe you will do a better job of it than Google will.

PS - you also uploaded JPEG images. If you want people to have an accurate representation of what your RAW files look like, you have to post the damn RAW files! 🤦‍♂️

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] thecrater:
Hi all,

We had the same thing last year. Either Samsung screwed up again or you've traded an old device. If you traded a device then they will "lock" your device using Knox Guard until your trade is complete. At least that's the theory. Last year, it took ages to get this removed after my trade had completed.

Edit: corrected Knox Guard name
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BofA:
I emailed to this address, they reply that it is only for UK residents. I asked them for the contacts in UAE and they provide me the "write to CEO" form for UAE. Few hours after I fill the form I get the phone call from Samsung, and they tell me that if I have no "OEM unlock" option, then I can't unlock bootloader and their rules restrict them from helping me with that. Shame on Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BofA:
I do not trade old device, I just buy S24U for the full price. And now I have OEM locked useless device(

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
You're so gullible. The president of Samsung is not responding to any of us.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Well, did I say that president is going to reply? No, I said they help with knox lock which is causing OEM lock toggle to be missing/grayed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
They have zero control over that let alone remotely removing oem unlock on individual phones. It's just not possible. Believe what you want to.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I will not believe you, as me, and many others sorted it out e-mailing them, as knox status changed. There is whole topick and quite few people confirmed it. If they have zero control, whole knox lock would have no sense lol, I think you do not know what you are talking about.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bash_array:
Hello. I have extensive experience with Samsung products and their locked bootloaders. It’s not Samsung that enforces the locked bootloader. It’s the carrier. The only bootloader unlockable version is the “unlocked” version sold on Samsung.com

If you purchased through any major carrier such as Verizon or Vodafone etc., your bootloader is locked up tighter than a bunghole in state prison. You won’t see bootloader unlock options in these carrier’s ROM version. Again the only ROM version that will show a legitimate unlock option in the dev menu is the Samsung unlocked version. Don’t get the Samsung unlocked version confused with any other Samsung version claiming it’s unlocked. It’s not true.

IF you have the Samsung unlocked version you still need to apply for a signature key from Samsung Korea. They’ll give you the key for unlocking when issuing ADB bootloader commands.

Also, if you buy this Samsung unlocked version you can indeed root and install custom firmware like custom recovery etc, but realize that this community will be small and only tailored towards this small sliver of s24’s…. Users on, let’s say Verizon, can’t utilize any development work being accomplished with the Samsung unlocked version

I have access to the latest Samsung firmware flashing software that many of you know as Odin. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas about exploiting boot partitions or has the goods on kernel exploits, let me know as I can possibly assist with poking holes into the boot partitions

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
If this was legitimately the case, development for previous S ultra phones would have unlocked bootloaders and ROM development. The S23U (S91*B/N/0) are the only known models with OEM unlock. I hope your theory is right though. Canada has W models and never allow unlocked bootloaders even though it is purchased from Samsung directly.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bash_array:
It is true. And there is a big difference between Canada and USA Samsung and Samsung Korea. You must purchase the international Samsung version ending in B/DS
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
It's a shame Canada does this. Importing phones isn't cheap. Although the S23U has been a keeper even if s24u was released.
