[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] V0latyle:
@tritoncarl The best thing to do in this situation I think would be to return it to whatever network it belongs to, because there's a lien on it. I don't know if they'll actually take it back or not, and you're not going to be compensated for your loss.

Don't ever buy a phone from someone without verified proof that it is free of lien. This is why we recommend only buying devices on Swappa. You'll pay more, but Swappa requires an IMEI check before the phone can be listed.

Since it's been locked by the lienholder, please do not ask for ways to unlock it here on XDA as this would be essentially stealing the device, and we do not allow discussions of illegal activity. We sympathize with you because of your position, but the only thing you can really do is take this as a learning experience.

He's actually talking about a FRP lock. The device wasn't properly reset by its previous owner, and requires the original PIN/password to complete a factory reset. That still won't do you any good because with a blacklisted IMEI, you cannot activate the device on any network.

You've unfortunately been taken advantage of by a selfish and unscrupulous person. Only buy from Swappa.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
Avoid doing this going forward. Payments should always be done digitally, so there is a money trail. If not the actual seller, the account where funds are transferred to will belong to someone known to the seller. While these too can be manipulated, but the chances are pretty low.

Your only option would be a police report and possibly a trade-in by paying the few hundred dollars that you were trying to save.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
Lost or stolen message means this is unlikely to be a lien due to non-payment. This message is usually sent using Find My Device feature from Samsung/ Google.

This is most likely a stolen device that was packed in a proper box and sold to you. Does the message not ask you to contact the owner? No number in the message?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MrMike2182:
KG isn't exactly FRP (Factory Reset Protection) it's called Knox Guard and it's something Samsung themselves personally turned on because the person who sold him the phone waited for a few days and then reported it stolen.. But, what probably really happened is the person bought the phone using Samsung Financing and then received the phone and then immediately sold it to him and then the original buyer told Samsung they never received the phone so Samsung used Knox to lock it down with a pin number! It's useless at this point and should be taken as a learning experience unfortunately because I highly doubt that the police or anyone else is going to care about it. Samsung probably more than likely sent the phone seller an entire new phone but that person is only going to be able to get away with doing that for so many times before Samsung catches on because they do keep reports of this type of stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] V0latyle:
True, I forgot Knox Guard is also used for asset protection.

Just goes to show why one should only buy phones from reputable sources such as Swappa.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
It's only a matter of time before (Samsung) requires FULL PAYMENT up front on these trade in offers because of prats like this. Kind of sad. They get the phone using the highest trade in value device and sell it NIB for a nice profit. When Samsung doesn't get their trade in they lock it remotely leaving the buyer with a brick. Which is exactly what the fraudster needs thrown in the face! :-[
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
If this is true, then this is actually a group scam. The person who sold the phone didn't purchase it in his name, because it would be easy to find him. This modus operandi requires minimum 2 people to pull off. Bigger the gang, more people they can scam. But Samsung and other OEMs would have records and it shouldn't be too difficult for the police to find these people.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MrMike2182:
Yeah, that's if the police even want to do their jobs to bring down these aholes and they usually ended up being family operated because we know families don't snitch on each other and play stupid all the time! I bought the 1TB Ultra S24 from Samsung and it's practically paid off by next but I would never do this to someone and take their pride and joy away from them if possible call Samsung before you even buy the phone and get the all clear on the payment status and be sure they know you're buying the phone from so and so!!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
Hi sorry for not responding on the thread and appreciate the suggestions, I did some research this is definitely a KG lock, I have already written this off as a loss and will never buy from unknown sources. Although Samsung won't help me at all as I am not the original buyer and don't have the invoice, is it possible to trade this in to Samsung for an other phone on their website or is it illegal? because it's their lock they can unlock and resell, not sure if this is allowed?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] miqu007:
Hey buddy, no worries! I can definitely help you regain control over your phone. Here's what you need to do:

First, download and install Odin, a popular tool for flashing Samsung devices. You can find it online easily.

Next, search for a custom firmware package compatible with your phone model. A good source for these is XDA Developers forum. Just make sure to choose a trustworthy developer.

Once you have the necessary files, follow these steps to flash your phone with the custom firmware:

a. Boot your phone into Download Mode (press Volume Down + Power + Home buttons simultaneously).

b. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.

c. Launch Odin and load the custom firmware .tar file into the AP slot.

d. Click Start and wait for the process to complete.

After following these steps, you should have full access to your phone once again. Remember, though, that modifying your device's software might void its warranty and potentially cause harm to the hardware. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] goodwin_c:
This will not work for KG-locked phone. KG locks any flashing functions on the device until it is unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jonboi:
You just joined today, first post.

Not shifty at all :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
And also completely wrong. Loading different firmware doesn't change the IMEI. That is hard coded into the phone. You can change the CSC, but not the IMEI (at least not legally in most countries).
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jahanzaiblohani:
Could you share the picture of the device
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
No bro, KG Lock can't be bypassed like that. It's managed by Samsung server remotely. Once you're connected to the Internet after a factory reset you're doomed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
One of the requirements for Samsung trade-in is no locks so they will not accept it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tritoncarl:
Hey a question if the lock is remotely managed, after I reset the phone from recovery and booting it up with no sim or Wifi it got locked instantly on the lock screen. If it's from a server it shouldn't do that untill I connect to Internet right.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Then I guess it's managed both offline and online. When you're online for the very first time it loads the lock and binds it offline, until you request an online unlock (?)

The lock is probably embedded to system using Knox, so it's not affected by a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MrMike2182:
I have been around and on XDA for years and I'm telling you you're not getting around this no matter what you do! Take it as a learning experience there's really nothing else you can do except part it out by selling stuff like the screen and other stuff to recoup something. I forgot I'm not even supposed to be talking about this on XDA so I'm going to shut up now. P.S. You should still file a police report with all of the information you have about the seller as possible.

I'm sorry if this topic has already been asked but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. On the main screen, the vehicle speed is still at 0 km/h and there is no way in hell I can change it in the UI. Any solutions? The car does not have CANBUS connected. GPS and OBDII only

[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Is unit an FYT type, post Android system information including MCU version.

Also, what does seller suggest when contacted for support, what has been tried?
[FYT Android Head Units] KOSHINPL:
No support from seller so far. I checked launcher3 premmission and shows location but can not do more because is Grey out. ObdII torqe app works fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You have a FYT. That is clear.

I "think" that the speed is coming via the CANbus and not via the GPS in your unit. That was different on the Sofia model where GPS was used.

But if you don' t have a CANbus, that looks t me like the reason.

It could be checked by someone having a launcher displaying the speed and uncouple the CANbus decoder to test.
[FYT Android Head Units] KOSHINPL:
Seems that new launcher fixed a problem,
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] sami-ghamdi:
I have a OnePlus 7 device that had a broken screen a long time ago. I fixed it when it came up with a pattern password that my young son put in, and I don’t know the email address registered to it.

How can I verify his account, knowing that the bootloader is locked and adb is not activated?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] jancejkaa1:
Hello, I tried to flash my phone with SP Flash with an extracted rom from the firmware from samfw using the Android Utility program (I also tried MTK Bypass v30 - v34, but they generated faulty scatter). But SP Flash kept throwing some errors. E.g. STATUS_TOO_LARGE, flashing the preloader was no longer possible. It is said that the partition preloader does not even exist. It is possible that there is some problem with missing partitions in the GPT table, because before the phone was working normally, after I flashed it with Android Utility a Force Brom - PGPT, the phone kept booting into Brom. (Most likely, this item had to modify the table somehow so that booting into Brom would work without attaching, for example, tweezers to TestPoint) The reason why I flashed Force Brom is that I wanted to perform an FRP Bypass. (Why? I forgot the access to the phone.) I don't know what program I used to perform the bypass, but I remember that it didn't work anyway. I then tried restarting the phone, I thought the force brom was only temporary. And of course the phone only booted into brom. I freaked out and started using different programs for recovery it, I probably made it worse. As for the GPT table, I flashed a CSC file with the Android Utility. I checked the GPT table with MTK Client but the preloader was still not listed. It seems that I recovered most of the partitions using Android Utility, but the preloader (the crucial one) failed. This also explains why I could not flash the preloader with the SP Flash program. I still don't understand why they make it a problem to flash other partitions (the most common problem was STATUS_TOO_LARGE). I think it doesn't matter. I think that restoring the preloader would provide me with a classic odin mod that somehow takes care of flashing system files. But the fact that I don't know how to restore the preloader makes me quite complicated. I would like you, who have this same but functional phone, can make a brom dump/backup using some free program ideally (try MTK Client, Android Utility). If you send me your backup files. I think the phone can be restored. Please one of you be kind and do it for me. Thank you.

[Introductions] Redr1bbonwhitehat:
Hello,

My name is REDR1BBON, I am a Mechanical Engineer who studied in Padua, and an ethical hacker.

Since 2016, driven by personal reasons, I decided to undertake a project called "PARENT SURVIVAL MANUAL 3.0". This is the first project in Europe to provide concrete solutions to parents on how to physically set up filters and Parental Control settings on Android and iOS mobile devices (covering 99% of the smartphone and tablet market) to make them safe for children aged 3 to 18. It covers 98% of existing apps, including games, social, and communication. In the past year, I have also included consoles (NINTENDO SWITCH, PLAYSTATION, and XBOX) and smart TVs. I have held around 60 conferences throughout Italy, free of charge, sponsored by municipalities, mainly in the Veneto region but also in Milan, Turin, Trento, and Modena.

From this project, two manuals have been created, requested by parents to support them after the conference in re-executing the recommended procedures.

Since 2019, I have also started collaborating with KASPERSKY LAB regarding the development of programs for Parental Control, thanks to Mrs. Alessandra Venneri, Head of Corporate Communications Italy and South East Europe, and with ADGUARD for the development of blocks on mobile devices for malicious trackers and targeted advertising towards minors.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] memephis:
I recently bought a s21u and haven't had a "good" phone in a while. After doing some research, it seems like the s23u is the better one all around, albeit almost double the price. Is it really worth the upgrade from the s21u to the s23u? My main concerns are battery life, performance (obviously), night time video/photo and the screen (the curved screen seems like its more prone to cracking??)

Any advice here would be awesome as so far I can't see how the price is justified at almost double that of the s21u.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] SkellyTechs:
nope it isnt everything on the s21U are almost the same as the s23U, same speakers same fingerprint scanner same haptics and more. The only things you get is a better chip better battery and a stylus

S23 has better low light video though? How much better is the chip and battery? Thanks btw

I have a Cat S22 Flip phone (Android 11 go) so I found https://xdaforums.com/t/root-for-the-cat-s22-review.4388131/#post-88959025 and https://xdaforums.com/t/tut-root-how-to-root-cat-s22-flip-on-version-30.4626971/ and did what they said. This is the short explanation of what I did and where I think the first problem occurred:

* The usual: Put the phone is developer mode, enabled USB debuging and attached the PC.

* Enabled the OEM unlock feature in the developer options, put the phone in fastboot and issued the "fastboot oem unlock". The newer "fastboot flashing unlock" was not recognized for some reason.

*** At his point I rebooted the phone and tried a "adb shell" connand follow by an su. The su failed and I was still at a $ prompt instead of a # prompt.

My phone says the bootloader is unlocked both in the developer options and in fastboot. Any ideas why I might not be getting the # prompt? Do I have to successfully issue the su (which fails) before I get the # prompt? I tried installing SuperSU and letting it try to add the su, but I'm guessing I might be in a catch 22 situation?

UPDATE: Figured out my issue. Never mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Aethera:
Having used both the Watch4 and Watch5, one first impression is that it seems like there is more screen space on the Watch6. I use the 40mm model and on the Watch5 it was ok but right at the edge of being marginal. On the Watch6 it really feels bigger somehow. I would not caution anyone with moderate/small wrist size to not use a 40mm model now. Also, the brighter display definitely helps with readability. Both may be subtle changes but the result does feel like a big step in readability.

Also, you can tell how over successive generations the shape of the watch in terms of how it contacts the wrist (important for health monitoring) is improving. I notice that even if the watch band isn't very snug, because of the design the watch still maintains good contact with the skin.

That said, I still like the "extreme sport" band with the holes in it. The standard band feels too constrictive but the sport ones have a little more give in them.

First time setup of the watch is pretty simple. Setting up ADB debugging was a little more tricky as you now have to "pair" a computer to connect to the watch through the Debugging > Wifi setting using adb pair <ip:port> <pin> and then connect with adb connect <ip:port>

For debloating I recommend going in to Galaxy Wearable > Settings > Apps and uninstalling them there. If there's no option to uninstall there then its possible/probable it is integrated into the system and it is dangerous to uninstall them. However I do disable Samsung Pay with pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear

As always, Google Assistant is a pretty killer app for a watch. For me other killer apps are Google Wallet and Strava.

If you're an Android developer it's pretty cool to create WearOS apps using androidx Compose. Android has evolved a lot and learning Android development is a lot more fun now with Compose and observables than it was with the inflatable XML layout system and extensive callbacks.

[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
First flash back a generic ROM. You can sometimes do this using the Sony Ericsson updater service (download from SE site). If that one sais your ROM is up to date, you need to find a generic ROM. As this forum is flooded with ROM's, I'm not going to go look for you and post the link. A hint: Look in the ROM section (duh!)

After flashing back the generic ROM, you must flash the hardSPL back to normal, read the hardspl thread, again in the ROM section. Aka, question posted in the wrong section!

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Aethera:
Just wanted to start a thread where people can share any info about mobile plans.

Here are basic steps for activating an eSIM:

1. Activate the watch's eSIM in the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. Click the hamburger menu on the left of the Galaxy Wearable app main screen, then select the gear icon to go into settings.

2. Select "About Galaxy Wearable" and click on the "Galaxy Wearable" text quickly 5 times. This will open a special settings mode.

3. Select "Test ESIM Feature" -> "QR TestMode" and make sure that "Current QR TestMode" is ON.

4. Keep pressing the back arrow to go back to the Galaxy Wearable app main screen, then select Watch Settings -> Mobile plans. From there follow the directions to provide the activation code via QR code.

5. Use the QR code from your carrier. If the camera function doesn't work correctly, take a photo of the QR code with the phone's camera app and select the photo. The activation process will complete.

6. On the Galaxy Wearable app, go to Watch Settings -> Mobile Plans and turn on the plan from your carrier.

7. If you have trouble starting the QR code authentication process in the Galaxy Wearable app, try to initiate the process from the watch via Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks. When it asks if the watch uses the same carrier as the phone you can say "no".
