OK, well, I fumbled though it...

I don't know exactly how it worked but...

I loaded no-carrier firmware. Lots of things I don't understad, but here are some of the fumbles:

1) Download and run Odin. It is an easy search. There are two versions of Odin, one standard, one with a 3B patch.

--> Some versions of the instructions say you need the patched version, others don't

--> I used the patched version in the end

2) There are two versions of SM-G975 used in the USA -- a U version with carrier bloatware and a U1 version

3) There are three-letter codes tied to each of the versions. Although there are others, the SM-G795U1 XAA firmware seems best (that's what I used

4) You need to hunt for the latest firmware. I found what appeared to be most recent on SAMMOBILE. Mst online sources suggest that you need to find firmware of at least your Android version.

5) Load the newest Samsung USB drivers -- again, an easy search for developer drivers from Samsung

6)I reloaded the Samsung drivers installing as administrator

7) Again an easy search, enable developer options in your phone's settings and enable USB debugging

8) Several sites said that you needed to leave the SIM card installed -- nothing worked for me until I removed the SIM card

9) Some sources say you need to log out of all accounts, particularly your Samsung account. I loggged out of everything

10) When you do this it is like a factory reset, so backup what you should backup

11) turn the phone in and boot into USB download mode -- another easy search, and connect by USB to your PC

12) Install the new firmware with Odin

And you are done!

Still have bootloader locked, still have Samsung bloat (but that means DEX works). but now no Verizon bloatware / splash screen

I'm happy for now.

Take care,

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You can use ADB or LADB edits to remove the bloatware. Don't go too nuts...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] drjoe1:
So I did a search on LADB and found

Say hello to LADB, a local ADB shell without needing root or a computer!

Hey there XDA! I'm here to show off a new Android app I've published that I think a certain audience may find useful. Ever heard of ADB? If not, you likely won't need this app. But for those of you who have used or encountered ADB in the past...

xdaforums.com

And, it was like reading a foreign language. Without Google Translate. I gather it is some sort of linux or machine code editor? But I have no idea what it does or how to use it.

Every root or debloat guide I have looked at is either too simple (uninstall or disable) or too complicated (a degree in computer science appears needed to continue).

Are the ADB and LADB edits firmware packages? If so, where to find them?

Thanks,

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Here's another variant.

You need to find an interface you like and what to disable. The latter is the real trick.

I use Package Disabler so haven't needed to use adb edits.

You can start by disabling Google play Services in settings. It will save some power. Disable Google Framework as well. Google backup Transport will need a adb edit or how I do it.

There about 70 or so apps you that probably want gone. That depends on your needs as one size doesn't fit all.

Warning: learning curves ahead.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] drjoe1:
LOL

That's the problem!

There are so many "guides" that are either useless (just tell you to disable / uninstall), or they assume too much knowledge. I can follow instructions in simple English, but too often the instructions are in a foreign language!

Take care,

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
What I'm saying is you need to figure out how to best optimize your unique device. What works well for me might not for you. Plus it's important to have a basic idea of what the system apps do and their dependencies.

You learn by doing.

It's not done overnight. If you blindly follow a guide you still need a rudimentary understanding of what's being done by the apps you're blocking.

Trial and error sometimes, one app at a time. I monitor my battery usage at least twice daily and more if making adjustments or having issues.

Accubattery history is excellent for this. SOT and screen off usage are the bottom line when doing this. Go after the power hogs and complete trashware like Digital Wellbeing. Leave system apps that use little or no power alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
I'm going to second ADB Control.

If you're not going to be constantly disabling and re-enabling applications, this is a considerably useful tool with good documentation:

ADB AppControl

How to use the ADB AppControl.

adbappcontrol.com

I'll have to pull my S10+ out to confirm what can be disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
I'm attaching a list that you may find useful.

Included in this list is Knox, Samsung Pay & Pass, Amazon, Software Updates (unlikely this device will see any further security updates), Bixby, Edge Panels, Always On Disdplay, Facebok, S-Voice, Gaming & AR, and miscellaneous widgets and services.

@blackhawk was correct in the following:

"What works well for me might not for you. Plus it's important to have a basic idea of what the system apps do and their dependencies."

Good luck!
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] torme8872:
I recently decided to try to fix a old soft-bricked Razer Phone 2 I had. I currently am not having any success. ​

My goal is 2 options FLASH newer version of Lineage, or revert to Razer Phone 2's stock ROM. Basically this phone is not really usable because I need to leave phone in fastboot mode in order to charge, and also I cannot connect to PC via USB.

I've tried several methods to connect via ADB, but without being able to connect through USB most likely impossible.

What I think the problem is...​

I believe something got corrupted when Lineage 18.1 got flashed onto the phone. I believe a few hardware files are missing for the USB C board on the phone.

What I think may be a solution, but beyond my skill & understanding...​

I believe we can change a sys file somewhere within the device to fix the connecting issue with the USB. This is just a theory based on what I think the problem is.

Phone Info​

Build Number - lineage_aura-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211.001.001 10035967​

Android version - 11​

Model - Phone 2​

Root - No​

Unlocked Bootloader - Yes​

Problems​

Phone does not charge unless in fastboot mode.

Phone does not connect via USB (PC does not detect device, and USB notification on the phone does not show up)

ADB shows device offline when connecting via wifi ( Phone needs to connect through USB first ^)

Phone does not detect sd card in lineage recovery(For some reason TWRP recovery is not flashed on this device)

Phone cannot update through Lineage Updater (guessing version is too old)

What I've tried​

Update/Reinstall ADB usb drivers

Connect to ADB via wifi debugging

Connect to ADB via blue tooth

Turn off USB debugging > Rebooting > Turn on USB debugging

Using Built-in Terminal (Need Root Access)

Factory Reset > Using Recovery Mode / Using Settings / Wiping Data Fastboot Mode

Cleaning USB connector

Connecting to 3 different PCs 1 of which was Linux

Used multiple different USB cables

also noting this is the closest i got...which was connecting to adb via wifi.

View attachment 6031342

Weird Glitches​

Phone will get stuck in reboot loop if I "Reboot into Recovery" from fastboot mode.

Phone cannot do DSI Updates (Install Failed every time)

I appreciate your time to read this. This is a pretty rare problem as Razer Phone 2 is one of the least common phones out there.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] zpunout:
I have noticed with 3 of the Razer phone 2 devices which I've had that when in fastboot mode, communication is glitchy with USB when I tried to connect to several different computers. I have had reliable success by connecting through a USB hub and also success by connecting to a Microsoft Surface Pro laptop.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] roberto_1986:
Hello!

Some days ago i found my S7 EDGE that i had placed in the closet a few years ago and seems like everything its working after i charged!!! Now i want to make a clean install and ROOT again but im forgot what i have to do so can you give me a good guide to root my s7 EDGE?

where i can find OREO firmware? which is the last "no-verity-opt-encrypt" i can install and can i install last version of Magisk???

ty so much for all answer!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
What are you planning to use the S7 edge for?

You may as well flash a custom rom while you are there? It has all the fun features and most of them come with root as well and they have good instructions on their respective threads. I'm using ED7GE V10 and I have no complaints .

Presumably you are unrooted stock. If you just want a rooted stock and you want a "clean install" then just factory reset and then update via OTA to the latest firmware.

To root you will first need TWRP

follow those instructions to get TWRP on ur phone. Latest is likely safe.

I have magisk 19.4 working pretty well on my android oreo ROM.

I like the older versions for this phone becuase they still have magisk hide

flashing the zip file of magisk 19.4 on TWRP should install it.

I have minimal experience rooting stock ROMs. safetynet may be tripped even with magisk? (google pay pay not work). Partitions may need to be decrypted on TWRP.

installing TWRP will definitely trip KNOX (samsung pay wont work)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] roberto_1986:
Hi!

Sry for late answer...

i just need to ROOT also i already rooted this phone in the past but some years ago and now im forgot what to do lol...

So u suggest to put custom rom? and safety net pass there? also in stock rom did u know if pass safety net?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
I have minimal experience passing safety net with stock ROM. Not sure if its any easier or harder than custom ROM. IMO custom ROM is easier to flash and IMO, you may as well if you've already tripped knox and plan to use root. Was there a particular solution you needed that required root?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] roberto_1986:
Well like i said i already rooted this phone so yhea i already tripped knox. Usually im using stock firmware because custom firmware has more bug and need to update more frequently, thats why i use stock firmware!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
I don't know what else to add for you. I have detailed the two options in my previous root: root and stock; root and custom ROM. Your choice.

Cannot flash TWRP because rebooting into recovery after successful download does not work

The only way I can get into download mode, bootloader or recovery is through adb reboot commands

When I use the correct keys (tried many variations at different timings), the samsung galaxy grand prime logo appears

If I continue to hold the buttons, it just restarts.. The restarting does not end until I release and then it boots to main system

I just cannot wrap my head around why this is not working

This guide still works for me (Miui 14.0.9 global)

By the way, sometimes (I think it depends on the recovery I have installed at the time) I must flash an !already compiled" bootlogo.zip before flashing my own. After the double flash I have Poco logo switched to the one I chose.

I have the S9 Ultra 5G and it's only available with data only plans so the SIM cards are only capable of Data and testing but they cannot make or receive calls at all so you would need to get a standard prepaid SIM or a separate SIM only plan. I have used a normal SIM in my S9 Ultra 5G and it makes and receives calls and texts fine. In fact it's really good for it. If this thing wasn't lacking NFC it would completely replace my phone.

I know it may not help, But I use the Mous MagSafe Limitless 5 with the Oneplus wireless charger and never have an alignment issue. I tried the Pixel 2 charger and wasnt happy with it
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] horatiopositronic:
Reviews on Amazon say the Limitless 5.0 has problems with the Pixel Stand 2. I don't have the Pixel Stand 2, but I do have the Limitless 5.0 and I would not recommend it. Two or three times the price of other cases, weak magnets, bulky, no grip on the sides, weird sharp edges around the bottom. It's not a good value at all.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] K1nsey6:
I havent experienced any of those issues with Mous. My case has ridges for grip on the sides, strong magnet, my bottom edges are rounded. They are pricey, but the best Magsafe option I've found.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Jahall05:
Alright so I tried a "Torras" and there are three options. Got the one that has NO stand built in. It does seem to work, but you have to get it on the stand right or it will say it needs realigned but if you do it works perfectly.

Porting LineageOS 11 to the Galaxy S III Mini LTE

Since finding a bootloader exploit for some Samsung phones, I have been working on getting a fully-custom ROM running on my S III Minis. I now have a ROM that boots (though it has major issues).

Status

Working:

Display

Sound

USB Debugging

Flashlight

Bluetooth

Partially Working:

Camera

Can only be used once, then a reboot is required to use either the camera or the torch

Sleep

It sometimes takes a very long time or multiple attempts to wake up from sleep

Not Working:

WiFi

RIL

MTP/PTP

NFC

FM Radio

Recovery (the one built into the ROM)

This is not a daily driver ROM, especially these early builds. It's essentially as if you took a ROM for the Galaxy Ace 3 (loganreltexx) and plopped it on this phone with minimal modifications. The main intention up to now was for it to boot, as proof that custom ROMs can indeed run on this phone. Starting now, I will work on actually making this ROM more functional. More builds will be to come sometime in the next few weeks.

Binaries: Sourceforge

Source Code: GitHub

How to Use?​

These instructions assume you have some experience working with Android phones over ADB/the command line. If you don't, please stop here and wait until the ROM works a little better. This is largely just a proof-of-concept for now.

Installing a custom recovery:

Root your device (see this thread for some instructions)

Check your bootloader version (this can be found if you install the CPU-Z app and look under the "SYSTEM" tab)

Download the appropriate patched recovery image from this link

Transfer that image to your phone and flash it to the recovery partition as root

The command should look something like this (replacing /sdcard/Download/recovery.img with the path/name of the recovery image):

dd if=/sdcard/Download/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Reboot to recovery mode (if everything went right, ClockworkMod should boot)

Installing the ROM:

Wipe the /data partition ("wipe data/factory reset")

Sideload the ROM to your phone (navigate to "install zip->install zip from sideload", then "adb sideload ROM_NAME.zip" from your computer)

Reboot to system when you're done

I've been seeing threads for years from people asking about a ROM for the G730A and it really makes me very happy to see that someone is finally looking at this device.

I hope that at some point these issues with WiFi, RIL and MTP/PTP can be solved.

I would love to collaborate but I'm very noob at making ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] turnert:
This is honestly very cool. Just installed this on my s3 to mess around with. Now that we have fully custom roms booting would this method allow us update the device past kitkat if a proper roms was ported?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] jb881122:
Don't worry, I'm probably just as much of a noob as you guys, as there's really only one ROM I've been actively maintaining and everything else I've done so far has had problems past my debugging ability.

Yep, since we can now boot with whatever kernel we want, we can theoretically make this phone boot newer versions of Android (up to Nougat shouldn't be terribly difficult given the development for similar devices) or even non-Android Linux-based OSes. Of course, whatever can theoretically be booted needs to be adapted to this device first and may have lots of bugs. That's where the work is at this point.

I've been on a bit of a hiatus due to a lack of disposable time. I hope to get back to working on this around mid-month. The source code is out there, so if anyone wants to help in the meantime or at any point, you are more than welcome. Ask here or PM me any questions.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] GlitchMob:
Fixed: Repainter was the culprit. It's causing issues with auto rotate.

I noticed after rooting that my camera has been acting a bit crazy. As soon as I go landscape, the camera will lag transitioning to landscape, then the shutter button will turn grey.

Below are some details and screenshots that may be of use. Anyone experience this issue after rooting?
