Unfortunately, that check had already been done (there were no USB updates). I'm thinking about the USB cable, even though I've tried 3 different ones.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] baker-kaichou:
Are you sure that you checked the optional updates while your phone is in fastboot mode and connected to the computer? The update usually only pops up when that happens.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mascian:
I just tried again (the Pixel is connected but not in Fastboot mode); it updated these 2 drivers for me:

LeMobile - Other hardware - Android bootloader Interface

LeMobile - Other hardware - Android Composite ADB Interface

I rebooted and tried again: no luck (adb devices doesn't recognize it)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mascian:
Now, inFastboot mode, it recognizes the Pixel as "LeMobile Android Interface"
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mascian:
I tried updating the drivers with the Pixel connected in Fastboot Mode and it accepted the update:

Windows 11 recognizes the Pixel in Fastboot Mode as "Android device - Android Bootloader Interface" but, adb devices, does not recognize it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] baker-kaichou:
in fastboot mode, the command is

fastboot devices
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mascian:
Ops.

Oops, I completely forgot (I just updated the drivers with "Driver booster" and now, the pixel is recognized as Acer)

[Introductions] :
Hi everyone, I'm a girl passionate about modding, a nursing student, originally from Catania. I've been watching various videos on smartphone topics for some time: modding, presentation of new smartphones, teardowns, comparisons and so on... but I've never put anything into practice before. I come from an Apple device and honestly I was very bored due to the closed system, so I decided to sell it and buy a Google Pixel 8 to start these modification procedures. Up to now I have unlocked the bootloader and installed the magisk apk, for a few days I have been trying to root but in the end it gives me an error and I should understand the problem well. Let me start by saying that everything is new to me, but I have a great passion and desire to learn and explore this world more.
[Introductions] SigmundDroid:
Ciao Bella,

I hope it's okay to greet like this, my Italian dwindled away over the past decades... apologies if not 😇 but Sicily really gets me started and gives me this warm fuzzy feeling (a good friend of ours is from Sicily and a fantastic cook, gets even better when he brings stuff from his family there)! Lucky you!

Wow! I was waiting for someone saying that! Had to work for some years with apples and saw how it went more and more locked (until they even kicked out 3rd party hardware eventually, simply by blocking).

Personally I would have preferred something cheaper but for trying out stuff in android world, I guess that's a good choice to get started.

Good luck on your journey and welcome to XDA :)

PS: Very probably you had found it already but just in case

HI, im not sure if im at the good place to get help, but i need you.

My s23+ (SM-S916U1) don't have the debug OEM option, i heard that i have to flash a stock rom on it with odin but actually i only got a "fail (auth)".

My device is a US version of the phone and some people say that its imposible to root. How is this possible?

I cant even flash a stock ROM on it...

I need your help guys to explain me if it is or not possible to root my phone.

I'll start by saying that I'm new to the modding field but I have a strong passion and therefore I want to learn and succeed. I unlocked the bootloader of my Pixel 8 and installed magisk and patched the entire ota zip on magisk, I created the platform tool folder and the patched file and tried to perform the procedure for flashing the patch, but unfortunately in the end it gives me error as if the command disappeared. What happen? I would also like to know if it is possible to make the message that the bootloader is unlocked disappear at startup.

and if that doesn't work (which I believe is the source of your issue so I'd be surprised if it didn't), then get back to me on what outputs after doing the below...

No. It's one of the prices to pay for an unlocked bootloader on Pixel. You get used to it and forget about it...

[Google Pixel 8] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Correct: Post #2 of my thread "Full OTA Zip" method gives the necessary details of how to update each month. Pretty much the same way you updated and rooted this time.

I don't have any experience uninstalling system apps in recent years, although some apps allow you to disable them in App Info (long-press an app's icon and choose App Info). I would be very careful about what you modify in the system app's, and always have backups on hand of anything that you want to keep (photos, files), just in case you end up in a situation where you need to re-flash and wipe.

I also don't know about YouTube Vanced, as I haven't used it, only heard about it.

in fact I'm sure that the problem is the antivirus which sees it as a threat.

Tomorrow afternoon or as soon as I have more free time I have to fix this thing about the tool again because I had read that it is very easy anyway.

I had read something on AdAway and it was always a partition problem but I still need to look further.

By YouTube I meant the Vanced root version but it doesn't unlock all the features and I wanted to see the revaced with magisk module.

I've never heard Adaway having a partition problem (it uses DNS and/or modifies the hosts file to deny, dunno how that has anything to do with partitioning)....but hopefully you get it figured out!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mightywhites29111971:
I've had the tablet since it came out and never felt the need to root as Samsung to my surprise were good at updates. I now believe Samsung are no longer updating it, so I am wondering if now is the time to root and is the process still the same as the one of the guides? This tablet and the Pixel 6 Pro are the only android devices I have not routed so I am reasonably comfortable with how to route normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] V0latyle:
The process has never changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Revontheus:
The simplest way to root is to install a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) and flashing Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mightywhites29111971:
Thanks for your response. I didn't realise TWRP was available for the S7 as it's not available for the Pixel 6. I assume it still wipes when I root? Lastly, is there a thread for the best method of routing and can anyone recommend a good ROM? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mightywhites29111971:
please delete - double post
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Revontheus:
Always make a backup of your data before rooting. Also, yes one of the requirements for installing TWRP is a format /data process after installing it. After that, it's smooth sailing. Just flash Magisk and you're done.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] lewmur:
Sounds great. Just one problem. Where do you find a TWRP for the S7 or S7 +? As far as I can find the only TWRP was an experimental on for the SM-T735. I have both a SM-T733 and a SM-T870. The way I had to root both of them was by extracting the boot.img from the AP file, moving it to the tablet and using Magisk to modify it. Then moving the modified file back to the PC, tarring it and flashing it with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Revontheus:
Without TWRP, it's still easy. Install Magisk and use it to patch your phone's boot.img. Then flash the patched boot.img using fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] lewmur:
Don't know where you are getting your info, but without TWRP these tablets don't support fastboot. Like I said, you need to tar the modified file and flash it with Odin.

edit: There is a patched recovery file available for the SM-T870 and 875 with fastbootD. But be aware its syntax differs somewhat from standard fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Revontheus:
Fastbootd is available for these devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] lewmur:
Not without flashing a patched recovery file. And if all you are going to do is root the device, flashing with Odin is MUCH easier.

You must be on the latest Android 13 firmware, just flash one of the firmware found in this web page depending on your RAM version (you must be careful, you need to know exactly what RAM version you have on your phone.

It's better to choose the Indian firmware (kb2001) because it shows no warnings on the start screen. And it's safer.

You can flash it with OrangeFox recovery found on this web page

I am using NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez, the problem I have is I would like to keep a backup of all my contacts on the SIM. The contacts now show up as duplicates because there is one on the SIM card and on the phone. My brother has a HTC Hermes and there is an application that's lets his configure his phone so he can hide the SIM contacts from his contacts. I don't have this program and the closest thing to it would probably be the registry editor. Anyone know how to hide the SIM contacts in the contacts.

Edit

Never mind I figured out how to do it. In case anyone is interested the option is in Setting -> Phone -> Call Options -> De-select Show SIM Contacts

Greetings

My phone is SM G-990B/DS and it's my daily driver.

I wanna know if anyone has experience with this phone between Microsoft Intune Policy and tripping knox. If not this phone then some other will be okay.

Boring details:

My company uses Microsoft Intune/Company portal, where we have to enroll our devices in their policy to have access to the work resources such as email or onedrive etc and ofc it makes a work user another user on the phone.

My question is if I trip Knox -and I know there's no way back- and root it will I be able to hide the root like I did with my Xiaomi and OnePlus phones before using some Magisk modules ?

I want to root mainly for the google photo unlimited storage ( I like their photo management a lot)

And for taking screenshots of my email

Also to undercloking :))

unlocking the booloader
