Wait.....even on a samsung factory carrier unlocked phone?

if that's the case, then samsung is now blocking oem unlocking? I think your thinking the post is referring to the BL number, The U1 is the model number. As far as I'm aware the model number never changes, but the BL number does change, I could be wrong though.

I honestly fail to see what benefit they get from blocking it, if I pay for something outright, I should be able to do as I want with the phone. That's like buying a house for 200k outright, then your told you can't paint it, you can't modify it r expand it in any way, you can't do anything with it, it makes no sense.

UPDATE:

On further checking, I went into About phone > Status Information > and checked the model code. Its showing as SM-S918UZKAVZW. The last 3 letters would signify it's not a "factory" unlocked phone, but rather a vz carrier unlocked phone. What I'm confused about is the model number is listed as SM-S918U1.

So from my understanding:

U is carrier branded and can be unlocked via a request from the user to the carrier, to be carrier unlock for the phone to work on any carrier

U1 is an actual Samsung factory unlocked phone, ie: it's unlocked AT the samsung factory before going out in public

That's why I got this phone because it was listed as U1 and not U, so I am really really confused now.

If the U and U1 don't matter how exactly do you tell if a samsung phone is truely sasmung factory unlocked at the factory as apposed to the carrier side?

Maybe someone could give me a better more simplified (lamens terms) break down so I better understand it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Carrier lock/unlock has nothing to do with locking/unlocking BL.

With US (and Canada) Samsung phones cannot have the BL unlocked. Hence one can only flash official Samsung FW (no need to have BL unlocked) and it is not possible to root.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] butchieboy:
Well yes it can be, but it's on hold for now
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] a76644501:
I just got a Redmi Note 12 Pro+ from a friend. So everything works well and the phone seems to be original, all properties match those on official site. But the only thing I fear of is the firmware. I'm afraid that a custom ROM could be flashed and it can contain spyware. How do I check it?

And now I want to describe my attempts. One says that it's enough to check the MIUI version (and it matches for me), but I believe that the screen information is possible to be faked, so I prefer checking the bootloader. I installed the Android SDK Platform Tools for Linux, got into the Fastboot mode and ran:

sudo ./fastboot getvar all

I got the info, including "unlocked" that says "no". I also tried it on my main phone (Redmi Note 10 Pro) and it also says "no". BUT on Redmi Note 10 the field "warranty" says "yes", and on the new Redmi Note 12 it says "no"! Can it mean that the bootloader might be first unlocked and then locked again? I don't really understand the internet results - some say that unlocking the bootloader affects the warranty and some say that doesn't...

I understand that I shouldn't care about it and should just flash the official ROM myself (or better believe my friends). However, before I flash the official ROM, I really want to check for a custom one.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] NOSS8:
If it says "warranty no" the bootloader has already been unlocked.

With the bootloader locked this can only be an official ROM.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] a76644501:
Sorry, I didn't really understand. "Warranty no" means the bootloader has been unlocked before? (According to your first sentence). Or can it be re-locked only when an official ROM is installed on the device?
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] NOSS8:
This means that it has already been unlocked and then re-locked and you can only lock the bootloader with an official ROM.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] AestheticPhoneGuy:
Hey XDA community,

I've been struggling with a frustrating problem on my Pixel 5 for several months now. Every time I enable location services, both my Wi-Fi and cellular network connections cut out completely.

I'm starting to get desperate as this issue significantly impacts my daily phone usage. I absolutely love this phone, but this is pushing me towards considering other options.

Some Background:

* I used to have a module installed to enable VoLTE, but I suspect it might have messed with my MBN files.

* I've tried flashing back to the stock Android 11 OS and even upgrading to the latest version, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else encountered this strange behavior? I'd be incredibly grateful for any tips, insights, or potential solutions. Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Ilko:
If the issue is still present after a clean flash, looks like a hardware defect and there is not much you can do about it. Return it if the warranty is still valid or try an alternative ROM maybe

I've tried adding my apk files to PixysOS, but my system won't boot afterwards. Please advise me how to do it
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
PixysOS likely has a designated way to install applications. Use the built-in Play Store app or a trusted third-party app store to download and install applications. This is the safest and most reliable way to add apps to your device. Modifying the system partition (where APKs reside) by directly adding files can cause conflicts and lead to boot failures.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rsw686:
I've been flashing my phone two and three times a day since I started cooking. I'm assuming the ROM is stored in NOR flash memory. From what I've read most NOR memory can be written 100k cycles. If so I have nothing to worry about as I could flash the phone 136 times a day for 2 years.

Does anybody have the actual specs regarding the write cycles of the ROM memory?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
you know the storage is the same flash as the rom

so you gotta flash a lot to wear out the rom flash before the storage flash
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rsw686:
I knew it was stored in the same memory from doing the dumps, but that didn't come to mind when thinking about it. Although you are not writing the entire storage section of the memory each time you use the device. So flashing a ROM daily consumes more cycles as a whole than just using your phone for the day. Since that is the case it is probably NAND memory then. Still would be nice to know the actual specs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SsZzliMm:
NAND flash write cycles

NAND cells can be rewritten about 100,000 times. It says everything ;)

Hi! I have a PX6 UNIT MTCE with WQ_BC6 Bluetooth module.

It is a pretty bad module as i am not really to understand when i make a phone call - even with an aftermarket microphone attached.

My guess is the bluetooth module…

Does any one know what Module i can buy to „upgrade“ mine?

I‘d like to upgrade to Android 11, but the BC6 Module is not supported, so it‘s another reason to swap it out.

Anyone run into Magisk failing to hide/rename the Magisk app? Going to the settings page in Magisk, selecting "Hide the Magisk app" just shows a toast saying "failed." Superuser access is set to Apps and ADB.

I do not see anything in the log about it failing. I am using Magisk canary build 27002, which seems to be the latest.

EDIT: Seems like 27002 is defective and will not let you hide the app. The latest working version is 27001.

[Sony Xperia 1 V] Al Ferro:
So I had my phone with the bootloader unlocked for sometime until I decided to lock it again, but then I unlocked it and I noticed that now before the phone continues with the Booting process, it shows a message to press the power button to continue with the Booting process, I did not see that message before I locked the bootloader again. Do you guys know why I have to press the power button first now, I just don't like it like that.

If you know how to fix that or get rid of the press power button message, please let me know.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Al Ferro:
After doing a lot of reading and searching Google I came across many suggestions to try to fix this issue, I remember trying one of them in special ,but did not work. Now I think I have fixed this situation, so I installed termux with having the phone rooted and ran these simple commands

So I managed to change my active CSC to EUX on my S928B/DS and also changed my Sales Code/ISO to ES/Spain (Where I live)

However, even with my Spanish Simcard in, the second part of CSC stays as "-".

I tried flashing with/without Sim in but it still shows "-". I know the last 2 part can't/won't change but the carrier CSC should.

Anyone got a solution for this?

View attachment 6083499
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
You probably can't, and you won't have OTA either. Non-EUX devices will not have OTA after changing to EUX, and this hasn't been fixed yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lumenlifee:
I see,

For receiving OTA, I guess there is two option, Odin and Home CSC OR changing back to XSG through samfw and get the OTA and revert back to EUX?

Which option makes more sense?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Probably option 2. Option 1 writes a full firmware on your phone, which is lot of data, and it might degrade your storage in the long run.

Yes, the very hyped Galaxy S24 Ultra feature can now be added to your device easily. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

This guide assumes you have LSPosed, root and are using gesture navigation.

1. Download and install circle-to-search release from Github. You don't need to reboot just yet.

For this next part, you'll need to spoof your device as a Pixel 8 (but only for the Google app)

2. Download and install the circle-to-search-spoofer release from Github

3. Reboot

4. Now hold the navigation pill to activate circle to search! It's that easy!

If you still haven't got it working, try these steps

5. Go to Settings > Display > Gesture navigation and see if you have "Hold handle to search" available as shown below in the screenshot

A. If you haven't got it, re-do Step 1 again.

B. If you have the setting, clear Google app data and update it to the latest version.
