Is your phone completely running stock firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] oakvx:
I don't know
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Tuned modified:
Just flash the stock rom then relock the bootloader
[Magisk] DocMAX:
Not sure if i understand correctly. But is Magisk able to modify SELinux Rules? Can hardlinks be enabled for normal users?
[Magisk] 306bobby:
I don't think it can change rules, it may be able to change to permissive
[Magisk] DiamondJohn:
Sorry, a little late to the party....

I have a boot script that changes/add targeted rules to remove SELinux denials. Also, the app in my sig will generate (TeMeFI both sh script & ROM code) them, based on denials found in the logcat. Be careful, for the most part only enable system ops and apps you know are safe.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DaveBG:
Hi,

I have Note 10 Plus and have been using it with magnetic charger so that not to break the USB C port. Suddenly few days ago it started only charging at 5 W and is showing notification "usb connector disconnected" every time I plug in the charger. It also does this without the magnetic plug and other chargers and cables. It still charges though.

At one point I turned it off and charged it that way and it was charging with 24W but now even this does not work anymore.

Does anyone know how to solve this and also why holding the power and vol up does not go into recovery mode, I want to try to clear the caches ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The C port is good for thousands and cycles and easy to replace. Use it.

Does it fast charge normally using the Samsung 25 watt brick and cable? Erratic charging can be a sign of a battery failure. Any swelling is a failure. Once an Li is degraded to less than 80% of its original capacity it should be replaced to prevent a failure which can destroy the device.

On Android 9 and 10 once it starts to power on immediately hold the volume up button only until it goes into recovery mode. If you wait too long it won't work.

Not sure about Android 11 and higher; some newer phones need to be connected to a PC to access recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DaveBG:
It does not charge faster even without the magnetic cable anymore. Nothing helps now. Only 5W with the original cable and brick or with the magnetic cable and other chargers...

The battery seems to be fine , I am suspecting the port now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
When was the battery last replaced?

If over 2-3 years it's likely time to replace it.

Try charging with it powered off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Chaki2020:
Well, mine is with the original battery since it came out. Don't have any problems with charging etc. I think it's the USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Replace it. My battery just failed 3 days ago.

Still was getting 9 or 10 hours SOT but it was at or below 80% of its original capacity ie degraded. It just died instantly while I was using it and went completely unresponsive.

Zero warning, it was charging normally leading up to it dying.

No swelling or heat. It would have been 3 yo in April. They're good for 1-3 years in a heavily used device.

Start with the battery then the C port if the battery doesn't get it... don't destroy a valuable device over a cheap, easy to replace battery. A local shop charged me $43 to do it. C ports cost about $20.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Chaki2020:
Yes, i believe you. But i am considering buying new one. So if lasts a bit longer would be good. We will see...😃
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The N10+ is still an unique device that has no drop in replacement of equal capacity if it's well cared for especially if still running on Pie or Q.

My thoughts on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DaveBG:
The battery is at 80% health and holds the entire day no problems. I think it is either the port or the PCB board behind it. It does not charge faster even turned off now...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Replace the battery. Start there. They are inexpensive and after a year of use it was getting old. At 80% it's reached the end of its useful service life. They can fail in a variety of ways... don't chase your tail.

Hi! How do I root Samsung A10? I wanna buy it and root it, but I don't trust those unknown websites. Plus they also say to root it with kingroot (this app is a malware) I wanna root via odin btw
[Samsung Galaxy A10 Questions & Answers] Exodow_RGB:
Backup Your Important data

Note this will void your warranty

firstly you need to unlock bootloader

go to settings >about phone then click on build number 3 times

then go devloper options> and check oem unlock

turn off your phone

hold both volume keys then while holding plug your phone to your computer

then hold volume up (this will wipe all your data)

press again volume up to confirm

after the phone booted turn it off

again hold both volume keys then while holding plug your phone to your computer

press volume up

then you need to download the official twrp

Download odin and extract it

go to odin and select ap chose the file that you downloaded from twrp website

open your phone you will see an app install named magisk click on it it will download iself

then it will tell you to reboot

congratulations your phone is now rooted :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] shag_on_e:
This question is exactly how I worded it. How is it that one of the only bootloader unlockable devices left doesn't have actual su access? I appreciate Magisk for the access it grants, but I'm underwhelmed by the lack of access to the /system and /data folders. I understand it's a new era, but I can't believe there's literally no way to have true su privileges on the device I own and can actually unlock the bootloader. In closing is there something I'm not able to find you all know of that can bring back a SuperSU type root solution for Pixel devices?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
SuperSU and KernelSU are alive and well and used by many, I was just in a conversation about it on TG this week. It's going back to the old-school days.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cmaror:
Is it still safe to use a galaxy note 8 in 2024, although there is no security updates since 2021? Which other app should I install to compensate this deficit?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Grant Barker:
I'm using a Galaxy Note 8 phone (in Japan) with the same security update situation as yourself - dating back to 2021.

In my case, I will look into flashing a new Custom ROM on the Note 8 to get the latest Android/security experience that I can. I have no desire to buy a new phone. The Note 8 Custom ROM section is here.

I haven't flashed a custom ROM on a phone in a few years. If you do consider installing a custom ROM, take your time with research, and be very careful to use the correct methods/software for your particular Note 8.

Thanks to XDA, there should be no reason why you can't continue to enjoy your Note 8 for some time to come.

Good luck.

[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] Maxim-Allen:
Glad this can be solved (reply #11). But if anyone wants a new Xiaomi device, does this mean they will have to buy Chinese version (with Miui in Chinese and English only) to get it working normally, with all the features? And there are not all bands, and NFC is always missing on CN devices, correct?
[Xiaomi 12T Pro / Redmi K50 Ultra] einholz:
this version from apkmirror worked for me too - global version of Redmi Note 10 Pro. for the time being Xiaomi does not auto-update the security app so i am fine and the ear-symbol is back in video-toolbox. Yet i suppose sooner or later Xiaomi will force auto-update again. Does anyone know? Is this a BUG or is Google / Youtube putting some kind of pressure on Xiaomi to remove the feature. i have heard such rumors but they need not be true. anyone has more info?

[Google Pixel 6a] HauntingShad0w:
Hey there all. I'm new here and this is my first post. I basically posted the same thing on reddit, so I'm just going to paste it here and see if I'm able to get some clarity.

I recently purchased the Pixel 6a from Walmart and was hoping to be able to install custom roms like GrapheneOS, root, etc. The phone was in the Straight Talk section and I assume it came unlocked, but I honestly I have no idea now. I don't have another sim card to test in it to find out, but my main problem is that the OEM is (of course) locked.

The phone originally came with Android 13, but after reading about the OEM locking option being grayed out until you install the latest security patch, I went ahead and updated my phone and the damn thing is still OEM locked. I did try to downgrade back to Android 13 through software, but it kept giving me an error when I tried to do it through adb sideloading with recovery. The error that it throws is "pixel 6 denying ota because it's SPL downgrade".

Now I realize that you can't go back to Android 12 because of security issues, and that they put an anti-rollback "code" into it, so you can't flash it, but unfortunately, besides OTA, I don't really have any other options. I mean the phone is absolutely usable and works great, but I'd really like to unlock it's OEM, and that brings me to the final part of this.

I did mention that the phone was bought at Walmart in the Straight Talk section, but after actually putting a bronze plan on the thing, just to activate it properly, I realize that it seems to be running off of the Tracfone Wireless Network? I looked into the unlocking eligibility for both of these sites and they both say the same information. TracFone apparently unlocks phones after having them on a plan for 12 months, but Straight Talk does it after 60 days. My issue is, I don't know what my phone is considered at this point.

If it helps, the model number of my Pixel 6a is GX7AS and has 128gb of storage. As far as I've read, it's only the Verizon variant that can't be unlocked. Can anybody provide me with any information? I've done as much as research as I can about it and factory reset my phone countless times before I gave up trying to unlock the OEM.
[Google Pixel 6a] Lada333:
Have you tried using the Android Flash Tool?

Edit: A thread discussing potential issues of downgrading has been started in the Pixel 6 forums, you might want to read that as well, should you have any more questions.

[Google Pixel 6a] HauntingShad0w:
Sorry for the late reply! I unfortunately did, but because the bootloader is locked, I was unable to flash it.
[Google Pixel 6a] HauntingShad0w:

[Google Pixel 6a] arjunbalan1994:

[Google Pixel 6a] Zaxx32:
@arjunbalan1994​

Rude much? Do u even own a P6a? smh...
[Google Pixel 6a] Exidoous:
I'm very close to your situation. I have a straight talk branded 6a purchased from Walmart ~60 days ago. Today, it's running 14, bootloader unlocked, and rooted via magisk.

The tl;dr of what I did is: OTA update (to ???), factory reset, block updates, OTA update today (to Android 14 231105.003) after confirming carrier unlock with Tracfone.

Upon reboot following update, I get the carrier unlock notification, and could toggle the setting that permits unlocking the bootloader.

You have a couple misconceptions in your post that I want to correct. Straight Talk is owned by Tracfone. Tracfone is required under an agreement with the FTC (permitting corporate consolidation) to carrier unlock phones after 60 days. Carrier unlock is different than bootloader unlock. Your phone should be eligible for carrier unlock after 60 days of service on its Tracfone-owned branded network. In my case I actually called Tracfone to switch my 6a to their branded service rather than Straight Talk, but it should work either way. You just call the number and give them the IMEI and, assuming 60 days have passed, after the next reboot your phone should notify you it's carrier unlocked.

But that's just carrier unlock. In order to root and install custom roms on this phone, you need bootloader unlock. Within developer options (tap the phone build 5 times to enable developer options) there is a setting to permit unlocking the bootloader in your phone. It's normally grayed out on a carrier-branded (non-Google-store-sold) 6a.

I intend to post something more fulsome in this forum about my experience because bootloader unlock on one of these carrier-branded Pixel 6as is apparently widely thought to be impossible (not "just Verizon"). I suspect it may be as simple as creating conditions for OTA update to install one of the non-carrier-branded versions of the stock Android 14 rom. In my case, that appears to be going from factory reset > 231105.003

My phone's current version is android 14. Can I flash a custom ROM that uses android 13?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I mean....you could....i mean, there are no longer officially supported devices that are kept up to date by being on a custom ROM and upgrading that way, so I can't imagine it not being a viable option to go the opposite way....

it depends on what custom ROM you looking into...did you have one/some particularly in mind?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pjeezy:
Paranoid Android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
looks cool....it's a great sign that it even has a development thread here on XDA for the P7P....

at the very least it officially supports the P7P; whether it's based on Android 13 or not. I was thinking you were gonna try/experiment/risk a custom ROM that unofficially supports the P7P....that might've been something of a concern, but with that custom ROM, I don't believe you have anything significant to worry about....

just be sure to read, read, then read it all once more, before going through with any actual action on it -- there's more issues and dangers in the wrongful actions in flashing than there is in trying to run a Android13 OS-based ROM on the P7P...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pjeezy:
Actually I've

Actually, out looks like I need to downgrade to a specific firmware so not to get stuck in boot loop or brick the phone altogether. In this instance I would need November of 2022's firmware. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I think I'll leave that ROM alone and look at crdroid. They just released an android 14 version a couple days ago. They've been in the game awhile. Oughta be pretty good. Thanks homie.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Yeah no problem!

Yeah, now you're talking about downgrading the bootloader, which I believe isn't really possible other than a couple of specific circumstances (I think it can't be more than a couple of months or something, like quarterly [QPR] timing-wise) -- and I wouldn't risk it.

**I've come to learn that the "anti-rollback" I was thinking in terms of (late last night; which is why I couldn't remember the term) was only for going back from A13 to A12; the anti-rollback doesn't really apply for other/all firmware versions -- especially if one has an unlocked bootloader (I think I may have mistaken it with rolling back with an OTA on a locked bootloader...).**

Oh yes, CRdroid has a good reputation as well. Again, just be sure to read, read, and read it all again. Good luck to you!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
I actually downgraded from Android 14 to Android 13, and it worked fine for me. I went from stock Android 14 to a custom ROM based on Android 13.

I flashed the required Android 13 bootloader and radio, through the bootloader using fastboot, right after flashing the Android 13 ROM, before the first boot into the ROM.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
For me at least, battery is sooo much better running A14 that makes it a worthy upgrade. Do you not find A13 to pretty naff on battery with the pixel 7? For me it was pants... was soo chuffed to find a massive improvement when i upgraded to 14 (running EvoX BTW, but i believe battery has improved in stock and other roms also)

For me there's deffo no going back
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
The battery life does seem better on Android 14 in general, but on some A14 ROMs the difference is not much. Moreover, some A14 ROMs I tried seemed to be in early stages of development then, which made me downgrade to an A13 custom ROM. However, the situation with A14 ROMs seems to be getting better now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
For me on A13 i used to charge 1.5x per day (stock and EvoX). Now on A14 (EvoX) i need to charge 1x per day and still have plenty left at end of day. For me the difference is at least 1/3 to 40-45% better
