[Sony Xperia 1 III] amakuramio:
I bought a Sony Xperia 1 III second hand, and the SIM were detected but no signal, and not usable. The back glass was broken too, a bit. I used a playing card to cut the adhesive and removed the back glass, cutting off the cable to the camera and assistant, then I ordered a new flex with touch and upon replacing it, my SIM cards were working! It seems like that the flex cable has a blue antenna cable attached to it, and if the SIM cards do not work it is either because of the module is defective (the flex of antenna cable with power / camera / volume / assistant buttons) or the cable is loose. I hope this is useful to someone.
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
Due to recent events, we suggest that everybody enables the 2 Factor Authetication (2FA) (aka Two-step Verification) in your accounts.

Details how to do and where to find it are available in our RC @sd_shadow's great guide:

Why Should I Turn on Two-Factor Authentication?​

Two-step verification adds another layer of security to your XDA account, making it harder to be hacked.​

Authentication can be done by 3 ways. Using 2 different ways is Multi-Factor Authentication.​

Something you know

Something you have

"Verification code via app

This allows you to generate a verification code using an app on your phone."

It would be good to clarify what kind of application it is. I don't click on "enable" as I don't know if it can be revoked (disable).
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
It's simply your sole decision like the one of any other user of this website.

We've currently just many accounts (even very "old" ones) that have recently been hijacked. But anyway it's your own decision. We don't force you; it's your own decision. Go ahead or don't do but at leat consider to change your password now and in intervals of your desire.

[About XDA developers] ze7zez:
Unsure of the ability to back out of the selection, I asked before trying to press "enable," and so could not see the full information about the applications used for authentication.

Therefore, I still think that the way of informing about the steps of the procedure is unfriendly and unreadable.

I just turned on 2FA (email code method) thank you for warning us.

Although it's always a personal decision, I can just applaude you. I'm using 2FA from the very beginning.

I always use 2 step authenticator on every website I have an account and whenever is available.

I'm sure those accounts were using a less than unique password, like xda123.

Best passwords are ones that are not ease to remember, a combination of letters, numbers, & symbols.

I suggest using a Password Manager and two-factor when possible.

There are several Password Managers with different pros/cons, do some research and see if you can find one that works for you.

[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
There is no need to argue back and forth about this.

Two factor authentication ensures that someone who has your password cannot access your account without a code sent to your email, and hopefully you've enabled 2FA for your email.

2FA is required for all XDA Moderators and Staff.

It is optional for users. If you choose to enable it, you can later choose to disable it.

We are encouraging all users to enable it in an effort to combat hijacking of accounts. It's your choice whether you do this or not, but I think it's safe to say that arguing against it, even when the benefits are clear, borders on obstinate.

Should there ever be a breach of XDA confidential information by outside attackers, it won't matter how strong and complicated your password is.

I use an authenticator app for my personal accounts, financials, etc. Even if someone is able to get my password and somehow intercepts text messages to my phone, they won't be able to access my accounts without the continuously rolling code from the authenticator.
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
I’m using an authentication app with XDA? You mean staff is not? Because it’s the first option for members.
[About XDA developers] V0latyle:
Must be a new option, I hadn't seen that before. Great. As long as you're using 2FA of any form it should prevent someone from accessing your account in the event of a password breach

[About XDA developers] Dayuser:
Just to reminder to everybody.. Please enable 2 factor authentication if you do not have it enabled yet.
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
I absolutely applaud your suggestion. Whoever hasn't done should immediately do so.

Today, we've experienced and are still experiencing hundreds (I'm not kidding!!!) of accounts that were abviously hacked or hijacked. It ranges from account created 15 or more years ago to those about just 4 - 5 years old. But I saw a few that were even innocently active and posting yesterday, but today... BOOM!!

Our current procedure is to make our admins aware who in turn force a reset of the password; I hope this also invites the concerned people to enable 2FA. And as I said, we're currently flooded by these hijacked accounts i.e. some might have even been innocently banned... Sorry for that, happens in a fight and there's always a way to appeal a ban.
[About XDA developers] Dayuser:
Yeah, and there will be lot more accounts like this every day i guess.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Just enabled 2FA on my account this morning. I'm never normally the most secure person online (the sorta guy to have basically the same password everywhere and almost never change it) but see the amount of dating site spammers recently I figured I should probably be secure and enable it.

I wouldn't wanna let you lot know if I was using a dating site so certainly wouldn't be bragging about it on forums 😂
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
You can use a password manager, remember only one pass to access your database and all your pass for other accounts to be there and be different and strong.

Plus you can have your 2fa tokens in your same database (not the best practice but from nothing is something)

Some password managers I like are: KeePassXC(DX for android) + Bitwarden.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Ah yeah I know but, honestly, I'm just lazy so stick to the same for every site but with little variations like a capital letter at the start or something like that. I've thought about doing that a couple times over the years but laziness won again 😂

Have already saved my 2fa tokens even though I'll probably mainly get the code via email anyway
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
Well, depends your threat model. Soon or later every online service will require some kind of authentication.

Fingers crossed a hacker-scammer to not target you 😆 but seriously start using a password manager, it's never too late. We are living in crazy times. 🥲

Hello,

I wish to use diskdigger to retrieve photos via the rooted method.

To do this, the bootloader has to be unlocked.

I have used potatoNV and generated the code.

I booted my phone into fastboot and can see

"PHONE Unlocked"

"FRP Unlock"

Is my phone unlocked? I didnt even enter the unlock code.

Note: I do not wish to wipe the device, as I want to retrieve photos, so if the device is still technically locked, I am out of options.

But with the above, it looks like I will not have to wipe the data after all and can continue the rooting process, does this seem correct?

If so - How? :D It was locked before starting potatoNV

Thank you

Hi. I bought a Samsung Galaxy s23+ phone online, I have been using it for over a month, everything is fine with it. A week ago I received a push notification with the information: Please pay the current installment for the phone. The seller claims that everything is OK and says that the installments will be paid because if not, they will block his SIM. What can I do in such a situation to avoid blocking the phone by the operator? I know this is possible because a lot of people advertise for unlocking for a fee. I from Poland.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] ze7zez:
Talk to the operator who prepared the phone or return it to the dealer, if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] michalbb:
The operator is not interested and says that I must contact the seller. After contacting the seller, he reassured me that everything was fine. He didn't want to accept my return because he asked why if the phone wasn't locked.View attachment 6068111
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] ze7zez:
Probably the seller is a pawn shop, so you have no contact with the first owner. Changing the IMEI can be risky, so you're left with selling the phone to a country where the phone's carrier doesn't have a network.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] michalbb:
I know there is some way to unlock it without changing the IMEI. There are many people in my country who do it legally in a GSM store.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] ze7zez:
So what's the problem? Go there and have them do it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] michalbb:
No problem. If there is a way and they do it even remotely, I can handle it too. That's why I created an account here and I'm asking you. You know technology, this is your sneak peek... I don't count on step-by-step explanations, but rather guidance on the right path.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] michalbb:
We remove the plugin responsible for remote control of the device by the operator

So he can no longer block it

Then we prevent its return so that it cannot be blocked despite a reset or update

Method for rooting all android devices is same. Unlock bootloader, download Stock ROM file for device, extract boot.img, install Magisk app on your phone, give boot.img to magisk and wait for patch. then flash the patched boot.img via fastboot.
