[Samsung Galaxy S23] vldn-dev:
i'm running the newest firmware (Android 14) just fine, no need to run an old abandoned Android version and would strongly advise against it in terms of system security.. Screen Lock, Fingerprint, Face-Unlock no problem and no need to be rooted for this. Not a Knox problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kutya1:
ah, now thats awful...

Not sure why are modern phones so needlessly overcomplicated when it comes to lower level stuff. As if this was actually even remotely necessary to security-wise...

Either way it seems I wont be able to do this then. Banking apps are very important to me and I dont really want to root the phone, at least for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] vldn-dev:
Yes, without root I would also advise you not to unlock your device.

Other device manufacturers have fewer problems like Google Pixel's, but Knox from Samsung is more of a disadvantage than an advantage in my opinion... just my 2 cents :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] vldn-dev:
Can i ask you why you wanted to unlock your bootloader in the first place if you don't want to root it? GSIs or custom roms are probably not that worthwhile for you...
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Not needed. Unless you do stupid things Android 9 or higher* are reseasonably secure.

Use whichever version you like best.

My one heavy used N10+ was last updated 11/2019, last factory reset was 7/2020. It remains fast and stable with minimal maintenance. No malware or breaches in all that time.

Screw the scare hype and the 🥕🥕🥕's.

*there was a huge security hole in 12 I believe it was when first released which was quickly patched. Newest isn't necessarily the safest!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kutya1:
The phone has MDM on it. I have bought it like that from second hand. I am unable to reach the company to which it was bound to, but once it connects to wifi and if I dont disable google play services, it immediately wants to reset itself in 2 hours. The phone is not blacklisted or anything.

The best way to fix this would be contact them and make them remove it from the managed devices, but I am not even sure they exist in the form I am seeking them, because emails are bouncing back from the address the phone shows me to contact them.

The other way, the alternative I want to try is to use an exploit which requires unlocked bootloader, to get rid of mdm at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] vldn-dev:
maybe scroll to the long list of cve's.. using the newest version get's you all the security patches for old cve's for you system. Using a Version from 2019 without any new security updates let's your system open to all those vulnerabilities 3/4 years ago..
[Samsung Galaxy S23] vldn-dev:
aah alright seems reasonable.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Obviously irrelevant. Tried and tested. Both these devices go all over the web. No antivirus running in the background. However they are using 2 firewalls and some settings mods. Regardless the locked bootloader is fully protected and all critical data is redundanly backed up.

These units have wasted far less of my time then all those new updates, upgrades and devices have cost you. More importantly they continue to fulfill their mission and yet they "mysteriously" remain secure. A one time steep learning curve and 2 replacement batteries are my net cost for operating like this. The proof of concept is in my hand...
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xda163fm:
I want to ensure I only install a proper safe driver for using unlocking the bootloader and adb/fastboot and there is conflicting reports.

I have probably over researched this so managed to confuse myself so if anyone can help that would be great.

By Googling and searching forums I have found the following they can't all be correct ;)

1. Use the driver files included when you unzip the Mi Unlock tool - these seem very small, the signature expires this year, certificate issuer is in Chinese and it can't be specific to the phone with the 100's of models the Unlock tool applies to so not sure if safe/correct.

2. Windows 10 has built in support for the F5 and no drivers are needed.

3. You can use the Google USB drivers - surely these are for Google Phones only (e.g. Pixel) - not convinced these will not work with Xiaomi phones especially for things like unlocking.

I obviously do not want to install random drivers found by searching Google as this can do all known of bad things (malware/spyware etc) so can anyone help with what they did when they unlocked and installed a custom ROM on their F5?

Many thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
The drivers included with MiUnlock or Miflash are sufficient.

Whether for Android bootloader interface and Android composite ADB interface, the drivers are from Xiaomi and date from 2016 on my PC with W11 and still work.

Note that sometimes with certain versions of Windows, you will have to disable driver signing.

However, for Poco F5, you need the latest MiFlash Unlock version 7.6.727.43
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xda163fm:
I have connected the F5 to a Windows 10 PC and tested using "adb devices" and it works but I haven't installed any drivers. In device manager I have a "POCO F5" item listed in "Universal Serial Bus devices" using Microsoft drivers from 21 June 06.

I can't see any reference to "Android ADB/Bootloader Interface" in device manager but "adb devices" is working?

Do I need to install the drivers in the MiUnlock package?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
Yep, Android bootloader interface is necessary.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xda163fm:
I have tried running miusbdriver.exe, driver_install.exe and installing via android_winusb.inf in \driver\win10.

I just can't get the Android Bootloader interface type entries to appear in Device Manager.

Any ideas - do you know what should work?

Many thanks

Put the phone in fastboot mode then plug in to the PC and execute the CMD "fastboot devices" from the Miunlock folder.

Does your device appear?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xda163fm:
Yes it works the device appears! My mistake was not putting it in fastboot mode to test - once in fastboot mode the appropriate item appears in device manager. Obvious when you know! My excuse is It has been 5+ years since my last phone and I had to do this last time. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] metaxda:
I've had to learn new things, even when it's been 1.5 years !

The tools & technologies are moving very fast.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xda163fm:
Does anyone know if there is any benefit/need to get the drivers installed for fastbootd to work?

Is adb and standard fastboot (not d) adequate?

Thanks

Basically what the title says, evo x has stopped making custom roms and archived their github. quite sad about this because it was the smoothest rom i ever used but nothing lasts forever

2019-2024
[General Topics] luketeam5:
I don't believe EvolutionX will be gone forever - it's likely that one of the maintainers will step up to take over. It seems to me, based on what I've seen and heard, that this was mostly Joey's decision rather than a collective one.

Within a day they changed mind and exposed identities of people. How did they do this?
[General Topics] ThePharaohArt:
Because Telegram channel isn't actually the real EvoX imo, Joey and maintainers have all closed their Telegram channels and have moved to discord some months back.

Idk whats going on with the telegram channel but I'd trust the official linked to group from EvoX over the non-linked one.

This is their official channel's telegram posted link and when you click on it, it says that it was perma closed and that Discord is the new place for EvoX group.

View attachment 6120298
[General Topics] ThePharaohArt:
In the official Discord of EvoX the reason for the shutdown was due to lack of support from the users/supporters of the ROM. Here are the screenshots of the official announcements from Discord:

[Samsung Galaxy M21 Questions & Answers] szabopeter2011:
I have a Samsung M21 (SM-M215F) phone with android 11 rooted (Magisk). I was trying to unroot it by flashing the same but original rom with odin. Everything went well, but since I did this the phone hangs at samsung logo, no matter what I do. I can only enter odin mode. Recovery mode is impossible to enter for some unknown reason (I tried it several times). It's like the phone freezes at the samsung logo.

I tried flashing several different firmware but the same thing happens. I can lock/unlock bootloader and flash successfully with odin but that's all, never boots. At the end I even tried nand erase and re-partition with pit file options with odin, but nothing changed.

I'm out of ideas, can someone help me what should I do? I'm confused, because with original samsung firmware flashed to the phone should work. And the phone worked fine before.
