[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] HorusEyE:
I end up flashing with Odin in a Windows PC.

If I understood correctly this Thor needs some Microsoft software I don't want to install.

However, I might have ran into some issue with choosing the files to flash and now, when I flash a SAMFW rom, patching the AP file with Magisk, I always get an error when booting and enter a loop boot where the error says that it couldn't load Android system. I have to perform a factory reset but then I think I end up with a French phone and I don't know how to revert it to my country, even after flashing the correct files.

when the phone try to boot, I can see the logo of OneUI (iirc) but with a triagular shape warning sign.

Only after the Factory Reset, the phone boots but with wrong CSC codes!

When I check CSC codes in Phone Info app I see:

What I need to do to revert it to my country code, which is Portugal. I know there are MEO, TCL and TPH versions. I already tried MEO and TPH but the phone still says BOG as CSC code!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] HorusEyE:
Ok, I was able to revert everything to stock or at least I'm not getting loops nor error messages nor anything weird.

Now, I'm going to try to patch AP with Magisk and see what happens!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] HorusEyE:
Trying to patch the AP file with Magisk, I always end up in a boot loop and I end up in the recovery menu wher only performing a Factory Reset I get it to work again, meaning no root, I guess!

The error message is the same as shown above.

Don't we have access to the logs once in the recovery menu but via adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] drnightshadow:
Try different versions of Magisk..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] HorusEyE:
Yesterday I tried version v26.0 of Magisk and that specific problem is gone. However, at this point, the OS is constantly sending a pop-up warning saying it couldn't install some ISP services and asks to restart the phone to complete that task. I click OK to restart but the phone doesn't restart on it's own. And even if I restart it manually, that pop-up warning keeps popping up!

Any idea why and /or how to fix?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] tham.400:
As the title suggests, I can't actually install Magisk by flashing it by zip or using fastboot to do the same thing. What it results with is a stuck boot animation of LOS that just does not go away. Restoring backups on TWRP also causes the phone to stay on the "Phone is starting" animation. Can I restore a TWRP backup & get Magisk without anything going wrong? Also, when I reboot the phone after successfully booting after a TWRP restore without Magisk, it seems to also get stuck in the animation.

hello

im trying since few days to manage VCF files, but i just understand :

it has to be made in msdos/windows encoding (not linux)

the structure/coding is well respected

however :

if i send my vcf edited on computer, to a phone :

an android most of the time, it works

on iphone, most of the time : the email shows the inner vcf file content, almost never a vcf file as attachment

if i transmit it through xmpp instead of email, it works great for iphone, less for android..

is there a software to manage vcf files, especially on linux/unix?

thank you
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK there aren't dedicated GUI apps solely focused on managing vCard (.vcf) files on Linux/Unix.

But there are tools like vcard-tool and khard what offer command-line options for managing vCard files. These tools allow for tasks like merging, splitting, converting, and filtering vCards. Of course they require some familiarity with command-line syntax, but offer powerful functionalities.

its the problem with custom roms. No developer is ever successful to tackle it, so there is no fix for it now. the only thing you can do is use the rom which has less ghost touch and screen freeze.

yes screen doesnt respond. it responds after some time or just power off and on to fix it temp.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Oddbyte:
I've tried all the tutorials that tell you to go to the Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking and reboot into fastboot by running adb reboot bootloader. this reboots into the text interface, but there isnt an option to unlock the bootloader, and fastboot from my pc does not see the N200 as a device.

I'm on a DE2118_11_C.28 according to the build number. Please help!
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Master_Frag:
As you have DE2118, which is the T-Mobile/MetroPCS carrier locked variant, you have some extra steps to go through.

See here for what you need to do. Do not do this if you aren't comfortable with flashing tools.

Follow each step carefully, and you'll end up with a DE2117. They're basically the same, just have different firmware to lock your phone down.

Disclaimer: I have not used this guide myself, I'm on a DE2117 proper, but this seems to be the definitive guide to converting the locked version into the unlocked version.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
Or you could just use the official method...

Search Detail

service.oneplus.com

In a nutshell, since the DE2118 is a carrier device, you have to apply to get an unlock token from OnePlus and then wait ~7 days for them to approve your application and send it to you. After that, you follow the instructions they provide to unlock your bootloader. If you don't get your unlock token after 7 days, contact customer support and they should be able to help you out.

I emailed the customer support team and they got my phone unlocked within 2 days. The website is garbage, and kept giving me errors.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Today I installed an app that SAID it has no ads but it has ads.

<://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quantum.updater>

AdAway does NOT block those ads.

AdAway doesn't block the full-page ads

AdAway doesn't block the bar ads

View attachment 6074998

Why not?

What did I do wrong in my setup?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
As always:

Wondering why you don't ask software's developer at 1st what you reach here

AdAway

AdAway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file.

adaway.org

if you have problems / issues with the software?

Anyways:

AdAways Basics:

AdAway uses a local VPN (Virtual Private Network) to filter ads and trackers. It's important to understand that this VPN functionality is different from a traditional VPN service that encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a remote server. The app's name thus is absolutely errleading, IMO.

AdAway checks the website or app you're trying to access against its hosts file. This file contains a list of domains known to serve ads and trackers as this Android itself does this with the default hosts file located in /system/etc if maintained by user.

Points to know:

AdAway's effectiveness: AdAway's effectiveness in blocking ads depends on the quality of the hosts file it uses. Regularly updating the hosts file is essential for optimal ad-blocking performance.

Non-root mode limitations: AdAway's ad-blocking capabilities are limited in non-root mode compared to root mode. Rooting your device allows AdAway to modify the system-wide hosts file, providing more comprehensive ad blocking. However, rooting comes with its own set of risks, so proceed with caution.

Basic steps to do:

Check your ad-blocker mode: If you're using AdAway in non-root mode, it might not be as effective as the root mode. Consider rooting your device if you're comfortable with it (be aware of the risks involved in rooting).

Verify host file: Ensure the host file is correctly modified and contains the necessary ad-blocking entries. You can check this within the AdAway settings.

With regards to specific Ad types:

Full-page ads: These might be more difficult to block as they often involve complex techniques. You can try adding specific filter lists known to target these types of ads. Search online for "AdAway full-page ad blocking lists."

Bar ads: Some apps or websites might embed ads directly into their content, making them harder for AdAway to block. In such cases, consider using a different ad blocker that works at the app level or exploring alternative solutions like browser extensions with advanced filtering capabilities.

Addendum:

A hosts file to prevent google / youtube ads you'll get here

Hosts file to prevent google / youtube ads Paste the contents into /etc/hosts file in linux / mac

[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
OK. Thanks. I did two things to solve the ad problem.

1. I asked the developers.

2. I ditched AdAway in favor of PrivateDNS instead.

View attachment 6075337

Note that I know nothing about either AdAway or PrivateDNS, probably mostly because I never needed them, as I usually get apps that have no ads, but I wanted to use an app updater, and I couldn't find anything free that updated Google Play Store apps that didn't have ads. So then I needed to get rid of the ads.

I still don't know what I'm talking about, but as far as I can tell at this point one day into the task is that AdAway is utter garbage in terms of unnecessary complexity when you compare AdAway to Private DNS results.

Android13 Settings:

Connections > More connection settings

Private DNS = p2.freedns.controld.com

Looking up Private DNS, apparently I had they option of:

1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

adblock.doh.mullvad.net

dns.adguard.con

dns.Cleanbrowsing.com

dns.quad9.net

doh.mullvad.net

one.one.one.one

p2.freedns.controld.com

That simplicity seems to block all the ads from the one APK-Updater app in question, which is shown by this composite image proof of concept.

View attachment 6075336

But only "most" of the ads in the toonify cartooning software (all of which have obnoxious ads otherwise).

ToonArt

PhotoLab

Voila

ToonMe

Cartoonize

Cartoon Photo

MomentCam

Comica

PhotoRoom

So it's still not perfect, as some of the toon apps still have ads (but luckily none of the highly intrusive video ads!) and some of the toon apps won't "connect to the server"; but compared to the horrid complexity of Ad Away, using Private DNS instead of Ad Away to block ads is sheer simplicity.

I tried using both Private DNS ad blocking & AdAway VPN ad blocking at the same time but it didn't work (yet).

Maybe it can't work with both at the same time for all I know, as I'm new to this (only one day into ad blocking).

For a non-rootable phone, anyone know if you can use Private DNS & Ad Away VPN at the same time?

Hello everyone. I bought an Eonon GA9463B back in 2020 and it was the 2020 model for my 2010 mazda 3. It has worked great for years until last year when carplay started being weird and would not allow the volume to be changed. Bluetooth and radio volume work as normal but as soon as I go into Carplay, the volume is stuck at one setting and will not go up and down. After tinkering in the volume settings, I found that the "BT Volume" slider can barely change the volume, but it doesn't go as up and down as it used to when it was working and the sound quality is much worse. Has anyone experienced this or fixed this before?

Does anyone know that if a firmware update would fix this issue for the GA9463B? Does anyone has the update files for the GA9463B?

Thank you

Are the key-press combinations to get to recovery mode vs. bootloader mode vs. EDL mode different on the OnePlus12 compared to older OnePlus phones? I can't recall having this much trouble with my 6T or 8T, but on this OP12 I can't figure out the combination to get to bootloader mode. Every combination I try gets me either to recover mode or just reboots to system.

Can anyone point me to the correct combo for this phone? Google search has been no help.

Hi snowwolf725. I think you meant to write:

Recovery mode:

(Before Unlock Bootloader)

Power + Volume Down (Make sure your phone is turned off)

Is that correct? Because Power + Volume Up will just force a reboot to system.

But assuming the above is correct, I understand the reason that Power + Volume Down wasn't going to bootloader mode is because I have not yet unlocked the bootloader. Well that's good news --I thought there was something wrong with my phone!

Thank you for helping me to figure this out. :-)
