Right now, the latest version of PIF (15.1) has an embedded fingerprint that is passing (it is the same one that was burned [temporarily, so it seems] from his 14.6). So there's not much need, and therefore demand, for any user; especially those unknowledgeable/inexperienced/ignorant of "fingerprint". But Google will inevitably ban it soon enough -- we're all actually very surprised it didn't happen on Tue. after the holiday; PIG (Play Integrity Guy) must be on an extended/full holiday -- and chiteroman has already posted/announced he will not include an embedded fingerprint after this old one gets banned and then demand will sharply rise once again with desperate users and the like. And hopefully we'll be able to sift through all the just-wanna-be-spoonfed users and find a good candidate....

Yes, those are all good, viable methods....but there are those who are completely overwhelmed and/or feel completely out of their depth (I sure did) and/or don't have the time or aptitude to figure it all out on their own and/or just needs some additional guidance that can find help/mentor here; then pass it on to another. While there are many that can/has done it on their own, doesn't mean there aren't others that for whatever reason cannot or don't wish to go about it completely solo....
[Magisk] simplepinoi177:
@zhengsmall ....just wanted to point you to this thread & concept, if in case you were interested....
[Magisk] zhengsmall:
Thanks, somehow I got it working by switching to osm0sis's pif module with PIFS to find working fp.
[Magisk] justacuriouscat:
I can't believe no one is there to take this amazing opportunity.

I've been struggling with fingerprints for the past week. Unfortunately, so far I've been unable to find a working one that passes the device check. I can't rely on PIFS/public fingerprints/other developers. I need a way to keep the device integrity alive at all times.

@HipKat, if you can be so kind to explain the method I'll make sure to pass on the knowledge to the next student. I'm a good student, not the best teacher, but I'll try my best. Thank you.
[Magisk] relaxable:
I have an interest in getting this done - I usually figure things out on my own, but, I'd appreciate a little guidance. (I have Pixel Fold and with PIF 15.1 - when I installed it within the last week, had strong integrity; now, only device integrity.

To be honest, I haven't been able to find/understand instructions for what I need to do ...

I am willing to help someone else once on this once I have more knowledge...!
[Magisk] badabing2003:
I know @HipKat has taken on somebody.

So I'll help you out so that you don't have to wait for next person after @HipKat .

@HipKat

If you don't mind providing the handle for the person you're helping, I'd like to update the OP.

@relaxable I'll reach out to you via PM
[Magisk] simplepinoi177:
that's nice/considerate of you...

I offer to give supplemental help/assistance if you find you don't have the time or can't attend to it at the certain moment...
[Magisk] justacuriouscat:
I'm the one that @HipKat is currently helping. Unfortunately, Pixel Flasher does not work work on my device (Nexus 6/shamu). Whenever I try to perform any action, aside from the ADB commands, nothing happens. While ADB works correctly with (and without) PixelFlasher, any other feature such as the PIF module does not work.

The question is, can't I create a custom build.prop (with osm0sis' template) using an existing device information and then import it manually, without the aid of any tool?
[Magisk] badabing2003:
If you and @HipKat are ok with it, I can work with you to get you up and running, considering that you're running into PF issues, a support file can help me understand what is going on and provide a solution.

I haven't heard back yet from @relaxable, perhaps @HipKat can take him on.

And to answer your question, yes, PF is not needed to get passing again, @osm0sis module / script would be needed to have the right module to pass, and @TheFreeman193 script could be used to hunt for a working print.
[Magisk] HipKat:
KAPABLE-K also, who does have a P8P​
[Magisk] justacuriouscat:
Of course! I'll generate and provide the support file via PM as requested. Thank you.

EDIT: Nevermind, can't PM you as your XDA seems to be private.
[Magisk] badabing2003:
huh,

Are you sure?

I get PMs all the time?

@simplepinoi177 is there a minimum post count for PM rights?
[Magisk] justacuriouscat:
Nope, turns out I simply had to click on your username and click the "Start conversation" button rather than CTLR clicking and opening links in a new page as I always do. All good!
[Magisk] relaxable:
Sorry, I got interrupted - I didn't expect such rapid responses -

Should I go to DM with one of the helpers here - there are so many I'm not sure who to ask -

I'd like to start with the basic steps - having root and the magisk mod with the now-revoked FP.

(I have a number of my previous phones, all rooted on older versions of Android including 1+ Pro)
[Magisk] simplepinoi177:
@badabing2003 has taken you under his wing -- which I could hardly think of someone better -- so you should dm and go to him (something to be grateful & fortunate for)....
[Magisk] justacuriouscat:
I was finally able to get a working print on my (older) device. Special thanks to @badabing2003, who has been very patient and helpful. If I have his blessing, I'm ready to teach the next person who wants to get a working print that passes the device integrity check.
[Magisk] badabing2003:
Chain of entries in post 2 updated.
[Magisk] simplepinoi177:
shame about relaxable...but I guess it can be daunting (you can see my feelings/reactions all over my guide) and one has to commit a certain amount of time....

but at least there's 2 options (members) to direct to...I have to try to remember to direct them here (i got like 4 users on Telegram working, now I think I should've directed them here.... 🤦‍♂️ )
[Magisk] badabing2003:
It could be daunting not because it's complex, but rather too much information to process.

But once someone gets into it, it's not that difficult.

@HipKat posted this, I don't know if he meant he's coaching or if someone should be taking over.
[Magisk] HipKat:
That's who I coached last
[Magisk] badabing2003:
Oh great, could you kindly provide details similar to post to so that I update the post.

So we have noew @justacuriouscat and @KAPABLE-K taking on people to continue the chain.

I think I din't miss anything.

For my guess I have a corrupted bootloader.

Since I can't get to bootloader mode. (power + backlight + reset) . I n past I have been able to go to bootloader ( In fact my last failded update weas done this way. But it failed at 93% I think. and when I reboot ... DEAD)

The device don't start.

I din't find anything on wiki about reviving the device with corrupt bootloader.

My guess is ony trough JTAG. But I think that so far no one can do this..

I just purchased a SM-G986usqu1atct, service provider sw, sm-G986u_oyn_xaa_qq_007 XAA/XAA/ATT. I could not get it to make/receive calls now do any software updates. Sent to Samsung repair facility and was told the phone is a "demo" unit and cannot be repaired? Tried to return the phone but they wanted a 50% restocking fee. Nightmare.

So, I have been browsing these forums and have tried unsucessfully to re-flash it. I was able to get one of the firmware's to install but when rebooted it still showed the same build and still non-functional. Here is my issue I believe...In the dev options, there is no option to disable OEM unlocking, there is simply no toggle for that option?

So, do I root the phone? can I root it? I am at my wits end on this. what are my options?

Thanks

turn phone completely off and disconnected from computer.

let go of buttons.

click vol+ 1 time

there is info on that screen

look for U or L

it will be close to oem bootloader unlock or something.

There is currently no way to enable OEM unlock (unlock the bootloader) for the S20/+/Ultra U/U1/W if your baseband is higher than the Feb 2021 security patch bit 1 firmware.

The below two posts explains how it works for the S20 Snapdragon devices SM-G98xU/U1/W. Basically, if you have unlocked your bootloader (via paid service), you can flash the A13 file in the post for your device using the patched Odin. Note that it will change your firmware to U1. Your bootloader will remain unlocked providing you do not flash a higher BL version - stay on v1.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Sttuppid:
The phone has not had any updates since it left the factory. It is on UI 2.1 and android 10. Knox ver 3.5, api level 31, TIMA 4.1.0. dualdar 1.2.0, hdm 1.0-f. I dont know how to "root a phone". However, since the OEM lock doesn't swow up in dev options, I assume it is trash? I also tried time reset as well to no avail
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] troy00:
Your first step is to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately, the member who provided the service is no longer on XDA. You may have to do some further research to find out who else is able to unlock the bootloader.

Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can flash TWRP, root the phone, or flash another ROM (bit 1 safe version).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mladen81:
Hello,

Maybe my question is not on the proper place, but I can't find Samsung A14 phone part of forum, so if it is on a wrong place, please just replace it.

I bought Samsung Galaxy A14 in Croatia and phone can work only on one network in Croatia. Everywhere else in the world phone is unusable. With SIM card inserted he can't register on any 4G, 3G, 2G network. Is it somehow locked for one network only? Is it possible to unlock and how? Will custom rom installation solve this problem?

If anyone can help, it would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

[Introductions] Sttuppid:
My Name is Kevin Bowley, thanks for all you people do to help us newbies. I am a retired CIO/Systems admin with MCSE, CCNE, Unix++, Cisco Unity call center engineer. I am new to this world. The reason I ended up here is I purchased a "retail Sealed" S20+5g that turns out is a Demo model and I can't get the darn thing to function correctly. It will do everything except make/receive calls and any updates OTA. all other functions seem fine such as cell text and data, cameras etc. work fine. I sent it out to Samsung for repair as the retailer stated I would have to pay a 50% restocking fee if the phone was not in new condition, but that's another story. So I am on a new quest for knowledge with android phones and how to fix them. Everything I have read to this point states that the phone can be reflashed to a fully functional device, but I am getting Nowhere. I live in Southern Maine and plan to move to beautiful Costa Rica after I get rid of all the crap I own, a 600-acre piece of land with eighteen of those zoned light industrial that has ten large buildings leased out to various boat repair shops as well as three very large buildings leased out to a boat storage company. any who, Once I got all that straightened out, I headed to paradise!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] swimmydeepo:
I've been checking some threads and it seems the LS997 version is not rootable (or it's very difficult). The first stumbling block is finding out about the firmware version - how can I check it? There supposed to be ZV3, ZV4...ZV7, etc. but I can't see any "ZV" on my "About Phone" info (software, hardware etc.).

this is some of what I see:

Model Number - LG-LS997

hardware version - Rev1.0

Android Version - 8

Security Patch level - July 2018

Baseband version - MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00058-M8996FAAANAZM-1.155473.1.156374.2

Kernel Version - 3.18.71

Build Number - OPR1.170623.032

Software Version - LS99720a

Btw - the one I have is a Sprint but I live in the UK and the phone works with any sim.

There is a guide here Ive just seen & probably there are several guides on here...

[LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide

This method will, when completed, will provide you with root and an unlocked bootloader, with fastboot available. It is a somewhat involved process, but the majority of the process has been simplified as much as possible. WARNING!!!!This...

xdaforums.com

Im not sure about your model but mine, H910, in order to use this process if I remember right I had to install the Canadian H915 Nougat fw which was before November 2017 in order to use the exploit. as there was no H910 fw.

It wasnt the easiest process to root (at least for me) & I did get some help on a LG V20 telegram channel. Id be surprised if yours was unrootable though
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] swimmydeepo:
Thanks for your reply....do you know what these ZV3 up to ZV8 labels are for? Many discussions on forums mention these without explaining what exactly are (firmware apparently - but can't find any on my "about phone" menu).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dextructor:
As far as I know you are out of luck, sorry.

If you are on Oreo (Android 8) the ARB it's active and you can´t downgrade your device, at risk of hardbrick because it's a hardware feature that the carrier choose to activate (I remember that few carriers enabled this and Sprint was one of them)

There's a good post on Reddit about this device and the author explained very well, so read it. But if you are on 20a it's Oreo and until now, no one could bypass the ARB.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] monc1975@yahoo.com:
Thanks for clarifying this. I was under the impression only T mobile implemented ARB1, H918
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dextructor:
No problems, glad to help.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] swimmydeepo:
I try once again...please help this noob (me) to elevate he's knowledge - apart from my LGv20 being unrootable (sad)...what do these labels mentioned so often on other threads (ZV3, ZV4...ZV8 etc.) stand for? Why I can't find these on my phone?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] monc1975@yahoo.com:
Im not sure exactly what these relate to but it does sound like maybe firmware updates. So, for example on my H910 LG V20, there are no original kdz files but, I believe I can use any H915 firmware. If I go on to LG firmware website & look for H915 I have choices 10c, 10d, 10e, 10q, through to 20a. The 10 part is the android 7 or Nougat, the 20 is Oreo, the letters I believe correspond to updates to the firmware. So, like when your phone will tell you theres an update available & you download & it updates your system. At certain points, with for example Samsung & LG, a physical fuse is blown & this creates an Anti Roll Back. If youve triggered from ARB0 to ARB1 then you cant go back & may brick your device trying. Thats my way of understanding it. Im hoping it answers your question, as Im assuming this is what youre referring to with the z3, z4 etc. Im a noob as well & learn things as I go
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] swimmydeepo:
It doesn't explain it entirely but best answer so far (thank you).

I've come across these obscure labels and there is nothing out there online to explain exactly what the hell are they talking about...it was the first step to get into a possible rooting - apparently if the firmware is eg. above z3 then the LGv20 can't be rooted - I can't find any similar number on mine and I'm left in a limbo.

Probably is a good idea not to bother with rooting - not on this phone anyway...there are many pro but so many against too (no Radio FM? Personally I do enjoy it having some live music without the need to rely on a data connection while traveling) not to mention the scattered and contrasting opinions online....too much bother.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] monc1975@yahoo.com:
Yes, Im pretty sure I had to downgrade my fw to pre november 17 or similar. Im only familiar with the h910 (AT&T), Ive had 2 & rooted them both. Luckily this version didnt implement ARB as far as Im aware so you can move between any firmware, regardless of age. Only downside, maybe, is that theres no h910 fw but h915 worked fine. Sorry, not much help myself, but Id go with post 4, what dextructor said
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dextructor:
If you can't find, it can be technically 2 reasons:

1) You are on a version that don't have the information that you are looking for.

2) You are looking on a wrong section.

Your Opening Post said very clearly the 2 crucial information's needed to identify:

A) Software Version - LS99720a

B) Security Patch level - July 2018

For unlocking you need to be on Security Patch level May 1, 2017 or before. So because of ARB you can't go back. Take time to read the Reddit post that I linked before to understand it better, but thanks to @monc1975@yahoo.com for explaining so well.
