[Xiaomi 11T Pro] lethallunatic:
Have you tried to use Google or searching the forum? There are like thousands of guides.

You need to unlock your phone's bootloader at first. which will wipe all your data.

After that you can flash your custom recovery of your choice which will make flashing roms etc. easier. or you can start sideloading everything using ADB/Fastboot.

Anyway, have fun and be prepared that you may soft brick your phone. so get comfortable googling.

Also at first download the official Xiaomi Rom of your choice in case you softbrick you can bring your phone back to live

Hi, Was wondering if anyone knew what was causing my contacts to just disappear on my Touch Pro. If I soft reset they come back for a little while. I can still see my favs and if anyone one calls the caller id will pick up the name and number.

Ive done a hard reset but still no luck

Even if I tried to add a contact when the list goes blank it does not show up.

Tried searching but Didn't find much...Sorry if i missed it

I acquired a Samsung SM-A526B from a friend and encountered issues despite replacing the flex connecting the bottom charging port board to the main motherboard. The phone entered a boot loop. In an attempt to resolve this, I utilized ODIN to flash the firmware obtained from the SamFirm website successfully. However, upon reboot, the device persisted in the boot loop cycle. Despite accessing recovery and download modes, clearing data and cache, and selecting "reboot system now," the boot loop problem persisted.

Having exhausted various troubleshooting methods from YouTube tutorials specific to this model, I find myself seeking assistance for a potential solution before contemplating abandoning the phone. While considering purchasing a new charging port with the board, I hesitate to invest more if the outcome remains unchanged.

I am open to any suggestions or guidance to resolve this issue before resorting to more drastic measures. Although I contemplated investing in a Chimera subscription, I am hesitant to utilize my Christmas funds without assurance of success. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy M52 5G] krbjmpr:
Just to clarify, did phone boot/work normally before the port was repaired?

If it did, it is quite possible that something went wrong during the repair and is the source of your problem, not the software. Chimera will not be helpful in this situation.

Or is there anything that I can try maybe doing a flash with a costume Rom or anything like that because, with the factory Rom, it did not work?
[Samsung Galaxy M52 5G] BiggRoy66:
Sorry no the phone was doing the same thing before I changed the port the reason that I changed it is because I saw a YouTube video that said that one of the resistences needed to be removed and since I don't have a soldering thing I thought it was easier to just buy a whole new port. I tried nearly everything to try to get it to turn on normally but have had no luck. Do you think that I should just give up on it?
[Samsung Galaxy M52 5G] krbjmpr:
If it were mine, I probably would abandon it. Mainly for reason that it was looping already and don't know what triggered.

Does anyone know how to save recieved sms messages?

Normally the messages are being saved in the 'inbox' folder. Is there any possibility to save (a couple of) messages in another (self created) folder so you won't see it in the inbox anymore?
[Touch HD General] funga00:
I have some folders under "Inbox" created in my previous Trinity. When i started using my HD i retrieved my backup of SMS and then I retrieved the folders. Well, I can move received SMS to a Subfolder using a verya strnge way: first I must delete the message, but not from the Touch Flo, I must enter in the Inbox (down-left option). After deleted, i go to the deleted folder and THEN I cna move it to my subfolder. But I can´t create a new subfolder at all

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decaffeinatedcoffee:
I had a Redmi Note 10S which had a problem getting stuck on splash screen, i got a new phone, POCO X5 5G and the problem is still here, the bug is basically, when i turn the device on, it get stuck on the logo splash (Redmi or POCO) and it will not continue normal boot unless i hold the power button and force it to reboot exactly 4 times, so normal boot works, i don't have any idea of what is happening, my mother also got a POCO X5 5G from same seller and hers does not have this bug, so maybe theres a problem that came from my old phone data backup maybe and not a MIUI problem (Global 14.0.4), so is anyone facing same issue or has any solution?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decaffeinatedcoffee:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrots_:
You could go into normal boot, back up the data, and then flash it with stock firmware. Might fix the issue.

You could also try clearing cache and see if that does anything before flashing stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] nicholascw:
Just like many else who picked up one of those US carrier's LTE version A7 Lite, I soon realized that I am unable to find the OEM unlock option no matter how hard I tried. After surfing the two previous threads: https://xdaforums.com/t/a7-lite-sm-t227u-bootloader-unlock-question.4414479/ and https://xdaforums.com/t/android-auto-and-unlockable-bootloader-sm-t227u.4597381/page-2 as well as much more google search and try out, I finally reproduced the results that some have mentioned about flashing it into a Canadian model with my T-Mobile variant.

More specifically I went from T227USQS8CWK7 to T227UVLS8DWK1. Long story short, I used MtkClient to unlock the bootloader and use it to flash the whole Canadian version firmware from Samfw under brom mode, then back to Odin to reflash the canadian firmware again. I would update this post with further details when I have more time, but I just cannot wait to share with you all that this is definitely doable!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] horsecharles:
Great work!

Two questions then:

1. You didn't lose any of the US bands?

2. Canadian firmware kept native calling intact, and follow up- calling works on American carrier?

I got mine from Metro 2 years ago and it could receive SMS. After network unlock I've tried sideloading all Samsung (& Google) messaging & calling apps inc system files + also trying other Sims from T-Mobile & Mint w\ their respective APNs.

I can send & receive text, inc. RCS. But calling using Google Dialer just hangs forever, incoming calls go straight to VM.

Samsung Phone wouldn't install, which is funny- all the other brand tablets I have I can install their manufacturer Phone & associated files at least- even if they don't ultimately work.

I remain hopeful because like for the S6 Lite people on T-Mobile say they can call- doesn't seem like server side they block anything- only in the device firmware. An older tablet I had initially could SMS, but after initial update lost that capability.

And I think flashing to T220/225 would lose bands needed here?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] nicholascw:
Currently mine got Samsung's dailer installed, haven't yet put any SIM card in so not sure about anything about connectivity. I assume if it has been changed it's switching from US T227U to Canadian T227U. I'm not flashing firmware from 220/225.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] horsecharles:
TY so much for your reply.

So this means you've changed USA firmware to Canadian- which fairly likely has full working native calling \ the dialer is not just shortcut for calling utilizing a phone's number.

I tried side loading so many Samsung files, different OS versions, but all refused to install.

The last remaining question would be if that Canadian firmware supports all US bands. I would bet yes.

It's encouraging. It's still gonna need serious debloating, my cheap government program phablet runs circles around it.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] comm-ents:
If you ever get around to get into a little more detail, that would be great. I am looking at Samfir and there are just a lot of confusion of what version to use. I might just wait until I have reached the end of my account this spring, but I don't have to mention how much of a pig the tablet is with all the overhead of knox related garbage.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Tech SM Pro:
I'm trying unlock my phone's(oneplus5) bootloader through another phone using bugjaeger app and a otg connection (because I don't have a pc). Everything's fine but when give the command "fastboot oem unlock" it asks confirmation if I really want to unlock bootloader to give confirmation I have use the volume button to navigate in bootloader.

Things I tried-

i) the bugjaeger app has a remote which can emulate volume keys, but it works on launcher and not in bootloader.

ii) I tried the command in adb "input keyevent 23" but it's same as no(i).

iii) I also tried to use flag commands like "fastboot oem unlock -y" but it says invalid command

Please tell me is anything I'm doing wrong or if there is any other to do it without volume button.(if not I have no choice but to fix the volume buttons😥😥)

Thanks for reading through this I hope my problems will be fixed and my doubts will be cleared. Thanks in advance.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] LCintheSky:
Just wondering what you all think about which is more secure regarding the Pixel 3 series: leaving the stock ROM installed with a locked bootloader, but receive no regular updates, or switch to a custom ROM with regular updates, but have an unlocked bootloader?

The reason I ask is because I want to give a Pixel 3XL to someone, and I thought that it would be good to get an up-to-date ROM installed, specifically LineageOS, and then install GAPPS. I can disable USB debugging afterwards, but the bootloader, as far as I know, would have to remain unlocked with a custom ROM. Is an unlocked bootloader only an issue if someone physically got a hold of the device?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Yes, the bootloader must remain unlocked with a custom ROM. I'm no expert, but as far as I know it is an issue only someone physically had the device.

Okay, thanks. I think I'll opt for a current ROM as originally planned.

are you guys sure that t-mobile dont use messaging when sending messages in msn messenger?

because i had the unlimited data plan and 400 txt messages before and everytime i use msn messenger i checked online for the txt messages used and i had the exact amount left that i used on msn messenger

but only in msn messenger, yahoo and aol, not on the gtalk app.

so i had to switch to unlimited txt messages .
[G1 Android Development] korndub:
if you have a g1 plan then it should not be using text messaging, the text messaging MSN messenger program itself hasnt been installed on devices for quite some time.

I found out what the problem was and it was that /system ran out of free space. After re-flashing to the modded RC8 firmware, I had some free space and was able to copy IM.odex to /system/app. However, after rebooting when I tried to launch IM, it will just go back to the desktop after a couple of seconds. :( I will try to download the modified IM.odex again and see if I had a corrupted one by accident...

[G1 Android Development] foxmeister:
I am pretty certain that the built in MSN client will work over WiFi, but not over a cellular IP data connection (GPRS, 3G etc).

I'm in the UK and I have an unlocked US device. When connected via WiFi, the MSN client will log in and work correctly, but if I disconnect from the WiFi network it will complain that it cannot read the phone number from my UK sim card.

Therefore, I believe that it designed to use SMS messages when it cannot connect via WiFi so that the operators can derive some revenue from it.
