[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephanmp4:
I have an Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i, and tried to install a S7 Themed Gingerbread ROM. I installed an unofficial Version of CWM, bc i couldn't find any Version of TWRP. After i wiped Data, Cache, and Dalvik, and installed the ROM, the Phone just showed the "Samsung Galaxy Ace Gt-S5830i" Screen and nothign else. I can boot in the Stock racovery, but it alwys says:

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

And i can't boot into ODIN mode, after Pressing Power+VolDown+Home nothing happens. But if i press Power+VolUp+Home it boots into recovery mode, but i can't do anything bc there always are those Errors. I also can't install any ROM or smth.

Can anyone Help?

I found a way to go into Download mode by pressing VolUp+VolDown+Power, but Odin gets stuck on File analysis, can anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cmubigguy:
Hi all,

It's been a hot minute for me since I've dabbled in firmwares. I used to flash firmwares all the time, but that was 10 years ago. So, I'm really rusty. Here's the deal:

Recently, my Samsung S23 Ultra (on Verizon) upgraded to Android 14. The big problem I have is that I am a Type 1 diabetic and my insulin pump runs through my phone. Now that it upgraded to 14, I can no longer use my phone to deliver boluses (insulin) through my pump. I can do it manually on the pump but that's really annoying.

I need to either find a way to trick my pump app (T:Connect) into thinking I'm still on 13, or I need to downgrade from 14 to 13. I have no interest in rooting or bypassing security stuff (Knox).

I'm not a novice, but I also have been out of the game for so long that I kind of remember words like Odin, but I I don't know where to start. I just remember that flashing stuff can be really problematic if I get a couple of things wrong.

Any help would be really, really appreciated.

Sorry if this is posted somewhere else, but I coudn't find anyone else looking to do the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
Well that sucks! have you tried getting in touch with the app developer? They're probably working on a 14 compatibility update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cmubigguy:
Yeah, I did. They said they're working on it, but have no ability to give an ETA for when it will be compatible. Kind of stinks given how big of a deal this is to me. I am not optimistic though. I imagine it takes a really long time with medical devices to get approval for changes like these. I imagine their QA process is really long.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
Odin is still the way to go for that purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cmubigguy:
Is Odin and the firmwares available at SamMobile the go to files?

Is there a definitive guide on how to load firmware through Odin for Samsung devices?

Sorry, it's just been so long I can't determine what's legit and what's not.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
Not an expert on it but this would be a good start: Odin Downloader
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] burgerenthusiast99:
I bought an s23 ultra a few days ago, and I used odin+samfw in order to flash the u1 firmware on my att phone. can you can go into software information and check to see if your bootloader is like this? S918XXXXS1XXXX (might not be s1 but that character+number combo has to end in 1 for this to work)

here is the patched odin file :https://xdaforums.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

DOWNLOAD THE 3.13.1_B_PATCHED file

go to samfw and put in your model number, in this case, s918u, and choose the vzw csc. download the most recent android 13 file and unzip it. after you're done, unzip the odin file, and make sure you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC. open odin.

MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS GONNA BE A CLEAN FLASH, NOT A DIRTY FLASH

once you backed everything up and made sure you logged out of everything, power off the phone, and hold down the volume up+down keys, and plug the phone into your computer. you'll then see the blue download mode screen. press volume up, and now you're in download mode.

now check your computer and see that there should be a green COM and some numbers there, indicating that your phone is connected to the PC. Now, what you have to do is put the associated files from the folder into odin, and they start off with AP, BL, etc. put each file in their respective location. now, since we are doing a clean flash, don't use the HOME_CSC, use the CSC instead. once everything is up and ready, press start, and let it do its thing. Once you see the blue RESET, then you're all set. set up the phone and bam, you got android 13!

hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Don't further update the firmware if it asks. You are still on a firmware that is downgradable.

Use Odin anh flash latest Android 13 firmware on samfw.com (find S918U firmware with VZW CSC).

Use patched Odin 3.14 from here https://xdaforums.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

Samsung USB driver from here (necessary for Odin to recognize the phone in download mode)

Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers

You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.

developer.samsung.com

There are plenty of guides on Youtube about Odin flashing. Good luck.

Why would you downgrade? November patch for me has been solid with excellent battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] System23:
Hi,

The Nessassary on Downgrading is the Binary wich you can clearly see in the Firmware Version wich say U3/S3 U2/S2 U1/S1 or behind the Firmware version on samfw.com, i have make a Snip from Website!!!! So Fact is you can only Downgrade the Same Binary, when you stay on Binary 3 you can only Flash Binary 3 Firmwares in this chase when you have Binary 3 can you Flash 6 Firmwares!!!also have Android 14 Binary 3 and Android 13 Binary 3 than is it Possible do Downgrade, when Android 14 Binary 4 and Android 13 Binary 3 than is it Not Possible!!! Thats allView attachment 6040173

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Download Odin app on pc,then download correct firmware. Extract the firmware and place each correct one in each box on Odin ,don't use home CSC as it doesn't delete anything.

Connect phone to pc

Make sure Odin says device connected and click start,should complete in about 5 mins or so .

Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cmubigguy:
Just to confirm, I believe the filename/version everyone is referencing is found in Software Information on my phone, correct? Right now I have S918USQU1BWK4. I am trying to find the chart that @System23 referenced above, but I am not sure where to find that. I am trying to determine the binary of what I'm running now.

Sorry for the delay, work has started again so I'm only getting to these post replies at night.

I appreciate you all!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
1BWK4 so 1, you can still downgrade to any firmware you want. Public firmwares start with 1 so it has never been increased yet.

Hi All,

I've got this Android Head Unit, and like many others would like to connect an OBD2 dongle to it, but it seems there's no way around it with these things, whereas a $20 android phone has no trouble connecting to anything.

I know I can use a Wifi OBD2 dongle, the last one I used wouid connect, then disconnect and reconnect, terrible really lol.

For what it's worth I managed to get an online Mx BT connected but kept having connections dropping etc and gave up.

I ended up getting an obd2 gauge cluster connected via usb instead since the BT issue couldn't be resolved. The WiFi on my unit is also bad haha...

Hello, I was a Redmi Note 8 Pro user, and I was so dependent on Custom Roms, Modules, Rooting advantages, etc. Recently, I bought a Realme 8. But I can't find any community where anyone can help me with this new device. I want to root my phone for now; if rooting doesn't satisfy me, I will install Lineage OS 20.

But the problem is, I can't find any trustworthy or new videos about unlocking bootloader and rooting. There are some XDA forums about old RealmeUI, not for RealmeUI 4.0.

Any expert, please help me. I am so frustrated. Also, if anyone has an international or Indian community for Realme 8, please drop the link.

Hello everyone! I am new to Samsung Trade-ln Program and got an S23 for darn cheap w my old TMobile S21U as a trade-in. My question is: does

my trade-in S21U needs to be carrier unlocked to get the trade-in value? If so, do I need to pay to have it unlocked? See the IMEI check pic and please LMK! Thank you in advance for your help!

BTW TMobile refused to carrier unlock it and gave me no reason why.

There is no other choice but to pay for it. That’s why they keep rejecting your phone.

the phone is paid for, it doesn't have a balance. If it had a balance it would be on the IMEI blacklist and it shows clean

Sometimes mobile data randomly stop working, I have to restart the device for it to start working. Obviously turning it on/off doesn't help. Not even taking out the sim card and putting it back in works (!). Usually when I notice it, the icon still says 5G. Sometimes the icon is "VoLTE" or other icons which are shown when there is no mobile data.

I didn't find any pattern to when this happens. FTR I have wifi/mobile data "joined connection" turned on. This started happening after some update like a year ago, maybe more? Device is not rooted (oh how I wish I rooted it when I got it...)

Any idea how to fix this, or at least if there's a faster solution than restarting the phone?

How cool would it be to use ai with voice and say hey bla bla root this device with this firmware lmao i know not that easy but who knows. One may be able to make it happen. But would anyone be able to make something like that happen
[Artificial Intelligence (AI) general discussion] f.drood:
I was thinking the same thing not too long ago, but so far no luck. Although I'll be the first to point out I'm far from well versed in the use of AI, trying to get one to help root a device turned into a head shaking and somewhat cyclic adventure. I don't recall all of the models I used, but I worked my way through most of the main ones like GPT 3.5 and 4, a few variations of Claude, Gemini, and a few others of less prestigious backgrounds.

I always invariably got some claptrap about the possible dangers of attempting to modify my device in a non authorized way, but after telling the AIs once or twice to stop I wouldn't be warned at every response. Aside from all of the models acting like a cross between an overprotective mother and a corporate intellectual property lawyer, all I could usually get from them were generic answers or basic overviews of the process. When I pressed them with device specifics such as the full model numbers, particular SoC's, firmware versions, and so on the AI's would seem to shift to "passing the buck" mode and suggest that I search Facebook, Reddit, or XDA (at least they recommend one useful site).

So now here I sit several days and a dozen or so AI models later, with an unrooted tablet and the growing suspicion that all the AI hype is just an elaborate put-on...

...btw, if anybody knows specifically how I can unlock the bootloader and root an Alcatel A30 9024W 16GB (that's the Canadian variant) with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 MSM8909 chipset running Android 7.1 I would really appreciate if you could help a guy out
