Recent ebay acquisition is a PAX A80 point of sale terminal that runs android 6.0. Bought it with the hopes.to turn it into a weird handheld game player and to use the receipt printer for something.

Problem I'm having is, I can't seem to install any apps or change the launcher. I've tried installing from internal storage, and it fails to install. Also tried sideloading apps via ADB, which looks to install successfully. But doesn't show in the apps menu, nor do they show on the homescreen. How can I accomplish this and get DOOM installed?

Android version: PayDroid 6.0.1
[Off-topic] parrots_:
You could try opening them with ADB to see if anything happens.

Get the package name, then there should be a command for opening it.

This seems to be the command:

am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName
[Off-topic] devicemodder:
Is that after I run adb shell? Because I tried adb shell and cmd just goes back to the C: prompt.

Basically looking to disable whatever software lockouts the manufacturer put in place to prevent the installation of apk files.
[Off-topic] parrots_:
That's odd. You could try looking through the apps or the package names via ADB (usually a long list), to see if there's anything preventing it.
[Off-topic] devicemodder:
I'll have a look when I get home from work later
[Off-topic] devicemodder:
Well, got a reply from the company that made the terminal... was about as helpful as I'd expected.

Now to figure put how to disable the software lockout.

Not what I was asking.

[Off-topic] Munk.3:
If you have stock firmware files you can flash app with sp flashtools by modding system.img (you need a ROM editing tool to add apk files to system.img)

So in short:

1) mod system.IMG

2) flash with sp flash tool

*Given that thin connects to 💻

But of course you must make sure the android device and apk has same SDK and comparability of course.

The only reason I offer this method is because I'm modding a restricted mp3 player. (Which I'm close to breaking into, but not yet... ) and apps can only be added that way.

But if you have dev access and ability to root and flash CR then you have better chance at adding apps.
[Off-topic] devicemodder:
Unfortunately, I dont have the stock firmware files.
[Off-topic] Munk.3:
I'll try to look for it then. But if you could extract it from device that would be better.

Bette yet, ask company for firmware files because yours is stuk in bootloop. Wink ..wink.. They wouldn't want a customer trying to return it would they? (That's how I got my firmware files from the scammy Chinese company)
[Off-topic] devicemodder:
Already tried asking for firmware. Was told that I'd need dev firmware and that it'll only run on a developer device, and not a live one like what I have. Don't even know if its possible to access a recovery menu. I'll try to extract the firmware on the weekend, when I have some time.
[Off-topic] Munk.3:
Dang sucks..well at least u have a chance still. An you android version is better than my 4.4.2 device... (So mainly emulation games for me)

But anyway, if you can get you hands on those firmware files, then their shouldn't be a problem, from what I can see.

Also do you intend to us it for SNES, gaming(very curious 😁)
[Off-topic] devicemodder:
Yes I do intend to also run SNES on it.

Not that much. It's not correct. The screen on time you see is calculated based on the last 24 hours of using, including charging time. You can use 3rd party battery software to get the SoT from full charge (100%) more accurately.

I have a phone Samsung Galaxy A14 5G that wont update, other than that everything works fine. T-Mobile carrier here in USA

Product Name Galaxy A14 5G

Model name SM-A146U

Android 13

Current version : A146USQU3BWF2/A146ONY3BWF2/A146USQU3BWF2

Security Patch Level: June 1, 2023--missing A146USQU4BWI2 and A146USQS5BWK2 , 2 quarterly updates.

SE for Android Status

Enforcing

SEPF_SM-A146U_12_0001

Thur Jun15 16:03:58 2023

Service provider software version is SAOMC_SM-A136U_OYN_XAA_12_0001 XAA/XAA/XAU/TMK

If I flash SM-A146U1 XAA latest firmware version thru Odin latest version , will this correct this issue ?

Anything else I should consider ?

Do I need to unlock oem bootloader and enable usb debugging through developers options to use Odin ? No not with stock firmware , I found out.

Thanks

Okay, just flashed my phone up with Odin3 3.14.1 3B PatcheD.zip (latest) and latest firmware from samfw 146U1 XAA for this phone and went thru smoothly, everything works fine. The firmware update put in the latest Nov 22 2023 quarterly update that was missing with a few new goodies, one is added McAfee virus scanner, not Knox Security though. :)

The mismatch was corrected to SM-A146U1 on both SE android status and service provider software version and TMK changed to TMB by sim card. The model name was changed from SM-A146U to SM-A146U1/DS- Samsung unlocked, the phone was delivered to me unlocked-- T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint showed and still show after flash up in Network operators.

The November quarterly update was 7.5GB in size and unzipped by 7 Zip and checked for errors still zipped which were none.

Thanks All

Cheers

Okay, I got notification of update from UI5.1 to UI6. I clicked update to get fota, the update stopped and said bootloader was mismatched and stuck on the blue screen. I downloaded the latest firmware and odin3 3.14.4 and tried to reflash, it did not work, yet moved the blue screen to update failed on reboot. I next reinstalled Samsung usb android drivers on my pc and did the flash again. This time the flash was successful, U5.1 working in good order.

I next connected the phone to computer thru Samsung smartswitch and did the UI6 update and it was successful, needless to say next update I'll pause it so fota wont run and do it thru smartswitch.

One other question I had was answered as well. I have an unlocked phone with T-Mobile phone service. The update to UI 6 Android 14 with December 2023 security patch is labeled as T-mobile TMB, so unlocked phones can used locked phones updates and still have unlocked status.

No, flashing another rom would not change the sim card state. Flashing the wrong firmware will probably brick your phone.

How i can get firmware support Arabic language?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Fees:
Samfw. com is best place, could not find any for CSC: EGY=EGYPT there is for Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Lebanon though. These are probably Arabic. SM-A146P Can change csc to Arabic csc by samtool at samfw. There are a few other tools that will do this as well. Contact your carrier of choice in Egypt and ask them which csc will work with them for phone and message service, I see 3 possibles SA,UAE, and Lebanon. Your carrier of choice has a sim card for their service that you can install. Your phone should be unlocked, mine is unlocked and shows t mobile, att, Verizon, and several others. Once you find the csc that works with your Egyptian carrier you flash that Arabic rom on to your phone, flashing your phone is not a big deal, install their sim card and your phone is operational.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antoniouscomp:
thank u for your replaying but i cant find any arabic rom i downloaded UAE when i flash it failed what should i do ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Fees:
From a quick glance your csc is xau. United States version. Cannot load an different rom than xaa or xau, you need to change your csc to one your egypt carrier uses, like Saudia Arabia, UAE, or Lebanon. Your csc from your sim card is metro by t mobile. Don't think metro services out of USA or north America.

Your csc right now shows United States rom with metro by t mobile your carrier.

Lebanon csc ILP

Saudia Arabia csc KSA

UAE CSC XSG

Need to change your csc your carrier in Egypt covers and install that Arabic rom.

You need to use samtool or other tool to change your csc to ilp,ksa, or xsg then download that specific Arabic rom to your phone, make sure your phone service supports that csc, country specific code. Some Arabic countries support multi countries thru their own sim card.

Find an Egyptian sim card provider and they will tell you what it takes to get on there network. Your looking for an sim card provider that supports one of the Arabic roms above, sm-a146p has the Arabic roms is the Asia section of csc's.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
Help please :(

Got an used P6P today, and after enabled Developer Settings, OEM unlock is greyed out.

Already check IMEI on Google Repair Site, and it's says that is unlocked version ( without any mention of carrier on it ).

I don't know what to do. Already tried to Factory Reset my phone, but it didn't worked too.

Anyone can help me?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
It looks like yours is a bootloader locked, such as phone came from T-Mobile or Verizon etc. If this is the case, nothing can be done, you are just f...ed
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
But if it's from Verizon or T-Mobile, when I checked on repair Google site, it will specify about that, I think.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acwcanada:
Perhaps you mixed up carrier unlocking and bootloader unlocking. Anyway, if you factory reset the phone and oem unlock still grey out or unavailable in developer settings, it can only means that the phone is bootloader locked by the carrier, nothing you can can do unless you can persuade/convince the related carrier to unlock it for you which I doubt.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] allday5850:
When I got mine it was greyed out also. Mine was through Xfinity and I had to wait until the phone was paid off in order to get it unlocked. If it is Verizon your out of luck. But as far as I know any other carrier other than Verizon will unlock them. Just some of them do have restrictions on them like requiring you to pay off the phone first or having it for 90 days before they will unlock it for you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
But is there any way to know where the phone comes?

I following this procedure in the Youtube:

And find out that my phone is the following model:

_pixel_phone_6_pro_carbon_128gb_unlocked_p

As I understand, it's not Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T.

Now I don't know from with carrier was bought :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] allday5850:
Are there any carrier specific apps in the phone?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@gherbert , run your IMEI through the following site and report the results: https://imeicheck.com/imei-check

The above site will reveal the carrier, while the Pixel repair site doesn't. Knowing which carrier will tell us if you're screwed or not.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
It's AT&T
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
This is the best advice given, and exactly what you need to find out. From reading your posts and the pic, you sure look to be bootloader locked (aka verizon trash) or locked phone (with a sim unlock). Those are two totally different animals and you need to ensure you have a Google phone that can be bootloader unlocked.

Let us know what your results are with the search. Here's my results, note, I buy my pixels directly from Google and have done so for every version (PX1, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5, and my 6 pro) so I know I'm a true Google Pixel user with an unlocked bootloader (and I run LOS with ROOT). Mine returns an AT&T phone but it's not on AT&T. It's an unlocked, pixel 6 pro, purchased from Google direct (used on verizon) with BL unlocked so be careful with the results showing carriers.

I believe the G8V0U model (mine) shows AT&T as its the only model sold in the US and is the Google unlocked model (so I don't know why it's saying AT&T really). My guess is that it's the default provider for an unlocked Google phone and made for multiple vendors (carriers), whereas bootloader locked models are a different model number for verizon and are bootloader locked. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I haven't ever and won't ever use any locked anything, so not chance in hell I'd get a pixel from anywhere but Google directly. This means that I don't have first hand experience with verizon locked junk so I could be wrong:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
It's not AT&T as site said.

Tried to place an unlock order on AT&T site, and it said my IMEI doesn't look like an IMEI from AT&T.

I'm lost again :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@gherbert So is IMEICheck reporting your phone as AT&T or not? Because just like Verizon, AT&T locks their bootloaders. That would mean this device was originally purchased from an AT&T store. If bought from Google directly or in my case, Amazon, IMEICheck will report the phone as an AT&T model, but of course with an unlockable bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
Yes, reporting as AT&T device.

Can you please follow the procedure showed in Youtube video that I sent before, I post here the model and version of your unlocked bootloader Pixel? Just for comparision
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Google reports my phone as an unlocked model, NOT pristine, which is no surprise. But that isn't enough information, which is why the site I linked is the better option.

Regardless, yours most definitely is bootloader locked, likely by AT&T themselves. You could contact Google and explain your situation to them, but their likely response will be to contact AT&T. AT&T's response will be that they will not unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
Just find out the version of my phone - GA03149-US

As I saw in a brief search over internet, it's a Unlocked version.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Do you know the device's history? Do you trust the seller? There's a reasonable possibility that it has money owing on it, or other defect of title, that means the original carrier won't unblock it.

If that is the case, you may be out of luck entirely.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Cool that's what was confusing me, I only buy from Google direct but it reported AT&T as well. I'm glad you confirmed the mystery for me, thank you!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
Still don't make sense for me.

In IMEICheck, my phone is reported as AT&T. In Google Repair Site, is reported as unlocked.

Tried to check my IMEI on AT&T site, because I can open a support request to unlock bootloader as I understand.But when I check it on AT&T site, it showed as a IMEI that's not recognize by AT&T .

Right now, I reading a huge topic on 4PAD to understand if there's any other way to unlock my bootloader. Maybe, some paid service.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Forget the repair site as others mentioned, that's a private service and doesn't tie in to Google. It's a crapshoot what they're reporting and may or may not be accurate but definitely is not meant for identification purposes (such as you are doing with it).

The real question remains, are you sure the device is truly (BOOTLOADER) unlocked and not just SIM unlocked? SIM unlocked just means you can use other providers but doesn't allow bootloader to unlock. It surely sounds like you're on a branded device and isn't allowing BL unlock. As others asked, how well do you trust the seller to be honest and that they actually sold you what you bought? Also have you pulled any device info from the device itself using any apps? I just tested test/used device info from playstore and it showed me all the info I needed so I'd first confirm you have what you think you have and bought. That being said, I AM BL unlocked with ROOT so I might have gotten more results using the app then you will being unROOTd, IDK so take it with a grain of salt (my app comments). You might need a different app, IDK, I'm not in your situation, or use the serial number to identify it online, using services out there, you'll have to do a little digging.

This isn't new, and you're far from the first person to go through this. I've had issues with my own Google PX4 XL unlock issues and I only buy from Google direct. At that time, Google screwed up and sent some users, locked devices but it was an easy fix after Google sorted it out and factory reset solved it (but that was a Google issue). It might have been my 3XL (don't remember exactly which pixel but it was definitely one of them) that had the BL locked issues from Google direct.

I'd make damn sure that I had what I paid for, in your instance, an unlocked bootloader Google raven (PX6Pro) but not a branded device. Use tools and websites to verify that the serial number is truly an unlocked bootloader pixel and not a branded pixel that's locked down. You definitely shouldn't have this issue if you're BL unlocked so we need to figure out exactly what you have before we can go further.

Don't bother wasting money on paid services, you won't get anywhere if you're branded and locked down. Contact the seller ASAP and tell them what you're facing before the window for return expires. You're not gonna far if it's locked BL and only frustrate yourself and waste time. I was helping with the 3XL verizon bounty unlock and we indeed got ROOT, but we didn't get anywhere past gaining root through an old exploit and we worked on it for months before giving up. If you're branded and indeed a locked BL, you need to return and get the right one, but I wouldn't waste much time trying to break the BL. You won't any time soon, I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'd be surprised if you got it before 2025.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gherbert:
Thanks bro, for your comment.

Understood everything that you said. Unfortunately, I don't know the seller, but, what he sold it's what I got. An unlocked Pixel 6 Pro that works with all carriers in Brazil.

The bootloader unlock is something that he even knows about. Talk with him about it, and he really didn't know what I talking.

Right now, I can't and I won't send back the phone to him. That's not gonna be right from my part, because the problem is with bootloader.

I'll keep try to understand what kind of bootloader unlock is this. I'm resilient LOL. I will not give up too easy 😂😂😂

I have a question.

I plan to update the indian rom for gt neo 3 using OTA. Currently my device is using china rom.

I'm wondering how to do the "Software Update" trick:

Locall install. Then select the china.zip rom

Next is to delete the china.zip file. Then rename india.zip to china.zip

Then proceed with the installation. Has anyone tried doing that? Can my device be bricked?
[Realme GT Neo 3] Stano36:
Exchange of Full OTA packages between CN and IN works.
[Realme GT Neo 3] nvbik:
That means I can locally install the Indian ROM without any problem?
