Hello!

I have a Samsung phone and after removing some of the bloatware it has today, my phone went into bootloop and is constantly restarting. I've got no idea what I did wrong since I think I removed only bloatware but still....

Can I use adb sideload to flash the ROM or maybe install a custom one? My bootloader isn't unlocked and as I said I am in a bootloop so I can't enter.

To be honest I wanted to install a custom rom like Lineage OS but it's not available for my phone - Samsung a03s (A037G) - Any custom ROMs you can suggest?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
What did you remove?

Dependencies... you removed a critical system app.

It could also be a 3rd party app, launchers and power management apps are prime suspects.

Factory reset, reload if you can't correct the error. Figure out what you did so you don't repeat the mistake. Most of the small Samsung system apps are best left alone; target outright bloatware you don't use and the power hogs.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Using "adb sideload" to fix a bootlooping device is not typically successful . These are the main reasons for this:

1. Device access:

"adb sideload" relies on connecting to your device through ADB, which often requires the device to be booted at least into the bootloader or recovery mode. If your device is stuck in a complete bootloop and doesn't even reach these modes, ADB won't be able to communicate with it.

2. Broken system:

Even if you can enter bootloader or recovery, the underlying system causing the bootloop might be corrupt or unable to process the sideloaded file. The "adb sideload" command itself may not function properly in such a scenario.

My recommendation: Seek professional repair before attempting DIY solutions.

FYI:

The "adb sideload" command requires your device gets booted into a special mode called "sideload mode" which allows for pushing files.

adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <ZIP-FILE>

I have bluetooth enabled handsfree in my car. Whenever I make a phone call the sound is routed through the car speakers and there's a microphone in my car...

My question is: is there a way to route music from my ppc to my car? I tried a lot of softwares (VJ Volubilis, BlueTooth Audio...) I think its routing to my car (on the ppc it says that its routed and I stop hearing the music), but nothing comes out of my car speakers...

(calling works fine)

any solutions, or is it a hardware thing thats missing in my car?

Well I tried them all and it seems its always the same problem... it connects to my car and the sound disappears from my ppc, but nothing comes out from my car.. on BTmusic it gives:

A2DP: off

And I tried everything to turn A2DP on.. but it always stays off (menu -> A2DP) , is that the problem?

I feel that my car recognizes only when a phone call comes in, but fro some reason is not transmitting the music from my ppc.

I have a 2006 BMW 525xi with idrive, my ppc is a tmobile wing, and i tried both s2p and the default music player.

In your bluetooth Partnership settings - Click Start, Settings, Connections, Bluetooth and and click on your car's bluetooth, Does it show both Wireless Stereo and Handsfree (are both boxes checked) if not make sure that Wireless stereo is checked) should work if it is. If you do not see wireless stereo and only handsfree - then you will not be able to stream music because your car's bluetooth is not able to stream the music, only calls. My new car's UConnect Bluetooth does not support wireless music streaming, only calls. But in my other car I have the Motorola T505 which can stream both Calls, (handsfree) and Music (Wireless stereo). In partnership settings I see only Handsfree and serial port for Uconnect and my Motorola shows both Handsfree and Wireless stereo. You may be out of luck trying to transmit music if you do not see Wireless stereo in the partnership settings (your car's bluetooth may not support it. If you see the (Wireless Stereo in partnership settings but it is not checked, then check it off and start enjoying wireless bluetooth music streaming.

Nice boot animation, the black one is it possible to get this as a twrp flash package for 18.1? Of course I know it's offtopic :) Unfortunately I can't help you testing the modem because I'm on a roming network.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
I have no experience doing that and I don't feel like learning such skill right now.

However, you can always grab the bootanimation from /system(/system)/media/, archive it and apply it wherever you want (granted it runs Android 10+).

I think it should work anyway. Does your provider not offer IMS over Roaming?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
Identified various issues and fixed some. Hopefully will be able to fix the remaining one by tonight, so I can provide an update here, because the issues were actually hiding the whole point of the ROM.

What is interesting is the fact that, until I reinstalled the ROM, my IMS was working perfectly. It is possible some debug settings remained from older test builds and that's what allowed IMS to work.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
It was caused by Ninja, actually: the Android Open Source builder. It would not correctly update the source unless the system date changed (i.e. allowed one distinct build per day).

If, however, I erase its config files before making a new build, it updates the files correctly.

I only figured this out 2 hours ago.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
After two days of crunching, provisioning is fixed and should work on all carriers (even those who do not need / offer it).

I have a Docomo SO-02k variant of XZ1C, will this ROM activate the Volte function, not been able to do that with any other version of HAVOC or Lineage OS till date.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
Afaik, the DoCoMo version does not support 4G at all. If that is true, 4G calling technologies are out of the question.

If it does support 4G, it is possible, try the ROM. Worst thing that can happen is a soft brick: you can recover by flashing another ROM or by Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] MASS.DROID:
4G (calling & Data) definitely works on the local carrier 'Airtel'. i have had Havoc 3.11 for long and couple versions of Lineage OS..but the battery life is amazing on HAVOC 3.11 and even it has stock sony camera app , so had sticked to it

One month back installed LOS 21 which has A14 and is my daily driver currently, really smooth ROM(but battery life is not great) probably because of the incompatible NFC chip on the Docomo Variant, other problem is if i receive a GSM call while data is on, the data disconnects (on Havoc and LOS both) ..IF VOLTE works on this ROM , i guess that issue should not occur., which will be really great if it does not.

Will give it a try someday, thanks

Uploaded new build targeting IMS issues requiring network switchdown. To those affected by the problem, check the Drive folder above, please test (with Network Switcher enabled) and let me know if this build does anything to solve your problem!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] friendly-me:
I tried the May 3 build and for me it seems to work as the flamefire 2024-03-30 17.1 build.

My problem is:

If I set preferred network type to 4G in the general android settings menu I don't get a mobile connection when the phone boots. I have tried to turn on/off the specific Xperia settings these builds have, but it makes no difference. Well, if I enable the network switcher I do get a mobile connection for a short period of time, but the connection soon drops (when switching to 4G perhaps).

If I set preferred network type to 3G the mobile data connection works after boot and I can manually switch to 4G, and then 4G works.

(I just switched from stock so I have not tried other roms than these 17.1 builds)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
Regarding IMS provisioning? This is what this build tries to fix on carriers that need dropping to 2G / 3G to get IMS.

Have you tried setting Network Switcher to 3G as Lower Network? That should do the 3G switch automatically, instead of you doing it manually.

What carrier is this? I deduce that you did not have this problem on stock? If indeed you did not, then it is possible your carrier has some custom modem that Custom ROMs don't switch to automatically. Not sure if using that modem would be a good idea, since old modems usually limit IMS features, from what I can tell, so using the XperiaParts options is the best way (if you want IMS).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] friendly-me:
Maybe I'm not the right person to test this build since my problem is different. Anyway.. A network info app reports that VoLTE and VoWiFi is available once I'm connected to a 4G network. But in my case I need to go 3G -> 4G not only to get IMS, but also to get a 4G data connection.

Edit: On stock I get "VoLTE administered", but I don't get this on Lineage (even though it says VoLTE is available)

I tried but it doesn't work for me. I think it switches back to the 4G network too soon. When I experiment with the network info app and manually switch between 3G (GSM/WCDMA preferred) and 4G (GSM/WCDMA/LTE (PRL)) it looks like I need a 3G data connection established before I can successfully switch to 4G.

This is Telia network in Sweden (telia_sweden modem used). Stock runs well with 4G and IMS, I think. VoWiFi works with stock, I don't know about other IMS features.

Edit: FWIW.. I compared with an xz1c running stock and I see that the network type used is LTE/UMTS - this is not available in the Lineage build. Does this have any significance?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antoniu200:
Where, precisely, do you see "VoLTE administered" / "VoLTE available"?

In a switch like this, by any chance?

View attachment 6100571

Do you get your VoLTE and VoWiFi switches in the Settings app? If you do, it means the tech is ready to be used and what you noticed is, most likely, just a translation difference.

Yeah, it switches back as soon as you get a connection, that's how it works normally. Then my IMS feature update will have to include a "wait for mobile data" option as well.

I plan to include swtiches for all of these situations: wait / reset for VoLTE provisioning, wait / reset for VoWiFi provisioning, wait / reset for ViLTE provisioning, wait / reset for mobile data.

Will see how I can check if a mobile data connection is established.

Very strange network implementations... No such practices here in Romania, luckily. If your phone is compatible with 4G / mobile data / IMS, your phone can register itself and use the tech.

And the issues you described above appear on LineageOS with the telia_sweden modem applied?

As for LTE/UMTS, the equivalent is LTE/WCDMA.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] friendly-me:
Yes, it was a translation difference. I get "4G Calling" and "VoWiFi" switches.

I was looking at the "Data Service" line in the Network app I mentioned. When it transitions to Connected it seems ok to switch to 4G. The app code is here if you want some inspiration.

I think the only issue I have is that in LineageOS (the May 3 build from this thread and flamefire 17.1) I can't use 4G unless I manually connect with 3G first. The Xperia Parts settings didn't help. I am using the telia_sweden modem. I get the VoLTE and VoWiFi switches once I'm connected to 4G so I guess that's ok (I haven't actually tested calling). Stock has a VoWiFi icon in the status bar, when activated, which I don't see with LineageOS, but this could be a cosmetic thing which doesn't affect functionality.. I just installed LineageOS on this phone today so I need to do some more testing.

Thanks alot for your support and work!

Hey everyone!

I am trying to flash TWRP on my A12, but whenever I try to flash it, it will just bootloop until I flash stock again. Same goes for a patchd recovery file and magisk. I have tried another vbmeta file, it did nothing except show "Set Warranty Bit: vbmeta" on startup. Is there something I have yet to unlock on the device or is this because of its CSC code? (SKZ)

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy A12] AGABAJOSHUA:
I suspect a KG lock.

Can you share some pics of the bootloop plus a pic of the odin screen ?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
oh god have to charge it.

here's what download mode says:

ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-A125F
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL (flashed it back to stock)
FRP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF (U)
KG STATUS: CHECKING (this usually means it's off?)
MTK SECURE BOOT: ENABLE(0)
sec ctrl status (1)
WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (0xe00)
AP SWREV: B4 NS4 K4 S4
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
CASS : 0x1
DID: d96f9e42xxxx (censored bc i think it may be like a serial number of sorts)
CARRIER_ID: SKZ

KG lock seems to be CHECKING (off), so I don't think it's that.

The bootloop isn't that interesting. When I flash a custom VBMeta, it shows "Set Warranty Bit: vbmeta" on bootup, then goes to the "bootloader unlock" screen, then the Samsung Galaxy screen, powers off and loop.

EDIT: I think this might be something more than just a simple lock. Even when trying to use DSU's (dynamic system updates, temporary GSI state which is officially supported), it just bootlooped once then went back to stock. On my Z Fold 4, DSU's worked fine, even in locked mode.

EDIT 2: While this may be obvious, I'm sure the images I try to flash aren't corrupted. Flashing an AP made by the Magisk app still bootloops the device, and I can only get out of it by flashing stock.

EDIT 3: This is probably important, but the fastboot mode does not work whatsoever. (unknown command for everything except reboot) I'm not sure if it's my drivers or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] bucketsort:
No, it’s a bug in the second stage bootloader and the TEE code that verifies boot.img. It will reboot the device if the inner signature doesn’t get verified. The only way around is using semi-tethered booting and a patched LK image.

Check here for details:

Bootloop - Samsung S9 · Issue #7254 · topjohnwu/Magisk

Device: Samsung S9 (G9600) Android version: 10 Magisk version name: v26.1 (debug) Magisk version code: ee34f77 (26105) Followed exactly all the steps in https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.h...

[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
boot.img is /boot right? Because I'm not flashing a custom boot.img.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] bucketsort:
Any unsigned changes to boot, vbmeta, etc will fail to boot. The issue is in the LK boot loader step, which can’t be modified.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
can't EDL or some sort overwrite the LK or SSB (second stage)?

EDIT: This only happens in the U4 binary, and U3 works fine. So in theory it SHOULD be fixable in software.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] bucketsort:
Unfortunately there is an efuse counter that is increased whenever a new U-release of the bootloaders are flashed. The device will refuse to boot an older version, even if flashed. This is in addition to the signature checks.

There are layers of signatures. First, there is the inner (SignerVer02) signature, which is what the BROM->Preloader->LK checks, in that order.

Then every partition has an AVB signature which is used from LK and onwards. (LK is what loads and boots the kernel from boot.img).

That said, it is possible to boot on U4, but it’s a rather involved process using a tethered BROM exploit (mtkclient). Check the link to github above. I’ve described the steps needed. I think it’s too much bother for a day to day user though as you’ll need to get to your computer to restart the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
I always have my laptop on me so I think the (semi-)tethered BROM exploit will work for me. Also this didn't occur on U3 so Samsung could probably fix it with a U5/U4 update.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] bucketsort:
They could, but they probably won’t.

Someone tried asking them about this on the Samsung forums and the account was banned.

U4 is the latest for SM-A125F, which is what I’m using.

Fun fact: you can’t brick your A125F no matter how hard you try as it has a test point that enables you to go into BROM mode. Just make sure you back up all partitions before you start playing.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
isnt BROM just EDL?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] bucketsort:
Yes, it runs the EDL, but if we’re being pedantic EDL is Qualcomm terminology and this device runs on Mediatek. If you have the A127 it might be Qualcomm and you should forget all I’ve mentioned above.

Samsung probably still messed up the common code of LK/TEE, but my trick won’t work.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
yep, it has a mediatek.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] AToska21:
yo sorry to bother you once again but do you have the patched LK? i got the device into MTK
