Hi

First time here, so excuse me if i post in wrong section

I removed 1.5GB RAM chip K4E2E304EA-AGCF and soldered 4GB chip K4EBE304EC-AGCF.

Tablet is turning on but all it shows is samsung logo. Cannot be turned off with power button, it reacts to vol down + power button by doing power cycle. Also doesn't react to donwload mode button combination.

Are there any locks in some of the bootloaders or kernel that prevent it from booting (no idea how many boot stages are there) and could i get it usable with rooted system? (i left it with default android that came on it, updated to latest available and did factory reset)

I'm also suspicious about new memory chip as it was bought on aliexpress, i know CPU shouldn't start without RAM, but the APQ8016 has 512KB cache and 128KB graphic RAM - could it still load a bit of data enough to display a static image on screen ?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
Even if you physically solder more RAM into a device, you still NEED to build a custom android ROM that supports the new amount of RAM. The tablet came with 1.5 GB RAM, so the stock ROM only supports upto that. OR ELSE, it might be the generation of the RAM. For example if it had (LP)DDR3 RAM, You can't upgrade it to LPDDR4. You have to use LPDDR3 RAM, because the CPU will most likely not support LPDDR4. And too see if the tablet turns on without RAM, remove the RAM chip and see for yourself (most likely it won't turn on, but I can't help you here, because I have only done these experiments with PCs and not tablets/phones).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] west55:
ok, so that would mean kernel only, bootloaders are fine ?

both LPDDR are 3, if you compare part numbers difference is only in density and something they refer to as "generation" in datasheet but appears to be more like a "revision"

also, there is no LPDDR4 in 168-ball configuration as far as i can see
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] IsHacker:
Yes, it's the kernel only, but not always. Let me explain how. On your PC, if you have a 32-bit OS, you can use only upto 4 GB of RAM, even if you have more RAM physically. But if you are in your BIOS, the RAM amount shows correctly (assuming the processor is 64 bit). In case of android devices, the bootloader is equivalent to the BIOS. When you try to boot to android, it doesn't recognize the new amount of RAM due to the kernel, which has been compiled for only a fixed amount of RAM. Sometimes, it's not just the kernel, but the whole OS, but I don't have any explanation for this. It just refuses to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] west55:
ok, i understand that. is there a key combination that can interrupt boot process of bootloader at any point when those messages i posted appear ? and maybe there would be some command to check hw status ? i soldered only TX wire initially just to see what happens.

there are also some straps, allowing to set hw rev of device, boot settings. and description of a register allowing to set secure boot or fast boot. maybe changing some of that stuff would help once kernel is modified
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] west55:
same here, it's a first android device i'm trying to mod (hw or sw) i used it for few years didn't even bother rooting it or whatever folks here are doing with these

without memory nothing appears on screen, it is bootlooping (didn't check uart) according to voltage going to 0V every 1-2 sec

no idea if it is a problem of some sort but chip has very low resistance on VDD2 and pulls entire rail to less than 2Kohm when soldered (with old chip it was around 30Kohm)

asked samsung US - we'll get back to you shortly, few days passed sent question again on Korea region, again "shortly" but no responses from either department

if pressed power button shortly a single message appears on console:

Android Bootloader - UART_DM Initialized!!!

anything that can be done in this mode? if it is a mode at all

I want to downgrade from 800 to 317 via 9008, but it may be caused by improper operation during the downgrade process. I repeatedly flashed many times and it prompted sahara to fail to obtain pbinfo or sahara protocol error. I used other 9008 flashing tools and it was the same. The computer can still display the output port 9008. Because the camera is damaged, I cannot provide pictures. My description may be wrong. What specific data do I need to provide? Can anyone help me? I am very grateful.

Chinese (Simplified):

我想通过 9008 从 800 降级到 317，但是可能是降级过程中操作不当导致的，我反复刷了很多次都提示 sahara 获取 pbinfo 失败或者 sahara 协议错误，我用其他 9008 刷机工具也是这样，电脑还是能显示输出端口 9008，因为摄像头损坏了，所以无法提供图片，我的描述可能有问题，请问需要提供什么具体数据。谁能帮帮我？我非常感谢。

English:

It has been solved. I changed the data cable again. I pressed the three buttons before flashing the machine each time to force a restart, close the flashing tool, and reinstall the driver. It took 3 to 4 attempts before the flash was successful. (Be sure to ensure the stability of the USB interface)

已经解决了，又换了数据线，每次刷机前三键强制重启，关闭刷机工具，重新安装驱动，试了3到4次才刷入成功。（一定要保证usb接口的稳定性）

[Magisk] serania:
Hello,

I have a Google Pixel 7 Pro with Android 14 without custom recovery, stock rom (cheetah-ap1a.240305.019.a1-factory-1c90a7b4.zip) and unlocked bootloader. So far I have rooted all my previous phones and there were usually no major problems.

So far, the Pixel 7, with root, ran perfectly via Magisk (27.0) in the hidden state, banking app worked without any problems. Now to my problem: Unfortunately, I deleted the hidden Magisk in a rash moment without unhiding it first. Now it is no longer possible for me to root the phone with Magisk again. Unfortunately, I have already tried the following without success.

- tried to find and delete hidden Magisk on the phone (tried to find path of Magisk package via “Dev Tools” and search/delete path via “Package Manager”), Magisk could not be found. The hidden module “LSPosed” is still visible, for example.

- Magisk-27.0.apk renamed to uninstall.zip and tried to flash via adb sideload, also unsuccessful

- tried to flash uninstall.zip in Recovery, unfortunately unsuccessful

- Pixel Flasher already downloaded but nothing applied yet as never used!

So far I have always rooted the phone and carried out the necessary updates according to the same instructions. I have already tested the following commands, unfortunately I have not written down all the commands I have tried.

- adb uninstall package com.topjohnwu.magisk

- adb sideload C:\Pixel7Pro\Android14\35.01-Platform-tools\uninstall.zip

- adb sideload uninstall.zip

- C:\Pixel7Pro\Android 14\35.01-Platform-tools>uninstall.zip

- C:\Pixel7Pro\Android 14\35.01-Platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

- C:\Pixel7Pro\Android 14\35.01-Platform-tools>adb sideload uninstall.zip

- C:\Pixel7Pro\Android 14\35.01-Platform-tools>adb sideload

- fastboot update uninstall.zip

- adb reboot bootloader

uninstall.zip

- adb sideload flash C:\Pixel7Pro\Android 14\35.01-Platform-tools\uninstall.zip

- C:\Pixel7Pro\Android 14\35.01-Platform-tools>fastboot update E:\Downloads\uninstall.zip

--------------------------------------------

Bootloader Version...: cloudripper-14.4-11290827

Baseband Version.....: g5300q-231218-240202-B-11396366

Serial Number........: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

--------------------------------------------

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

fastboot: error: could not read android-info.txt

At the moment, Magisk is not visible on the cell phone, only the “LSPosed” module is still visible.

I have also tried to root the phone again following the original instructions (here from XDA), also without success.

Could it be a way to change the boot slot? Should I flash the Boot.init?

I've watched some Youtube videos on the subject, but can't get any further here either.🙄

I'm getting desperate and I'm running out of ideas.🙁

Can you please help me?
[Magisk] Anhlatuananh:
Have you tried install the original magisk apk then hide it againt ?
[Magisk] serania:
Yes, I tried that, but it was not possible to hide magisk again because the setting is not available
[Magisk] Anhlatuananh:
then just download the orginal rom , remove -w flag from flash.bat then reflash your phone with patched boot.img
[Magisk] serania:
I have already tried this, but without success. Magisk remained gray and I was not able to hide magisk
[Magisk] Anhlatuananh:
Then tried unroot your phone by flash the very original rom with w flag and reroot it, it shuold help
[Magisk] serania:
ok thanks, I will try this way as soon as I get Home.

With w flag means wipe Data? So I have to do a Backup first

Edit:

I tried it and it worked, thanks for your help. I was afraid it wouldn't work anymore, thank you so much!!

[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
Just got a X100 Ultra and I don't see a forum or thread dedicated to it.

I'll start it off by asking a question. For some reason the default Home Launcher setting doesn't seem to be working for me. I set it to Nova. But it automatically gets changed back to the Vivo launcher anytime I swipe up or anything else. Anyone know how to fix this?
[vivo X100 Pro] Megaman01:
Have you logged in vivo account? Did you set nova launcher to default app?
[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
yes set Nova Launcher to default. Tried multiple times. Fresh unit just turned on and first thing I did was install Google Play Store and Nova.

I haven't registered for Vivo account yet.. would that make a difference?
[vivo X100 Pro] Megaman01:
I think i read somewhere that it is needed to use third party launcher. Try it out and tell.

View attachment 6110944

U need to activate this setting too. And i think that need the vivo account 😅
[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
OK

I just did it. Registered Vivo account.. logged in.. and then turned on those two settings under Security > More Settings..

I thought that would solve it! But it's still happening.. it keeps going back to the Vivo Home Launcher instead of Nova :(
[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
there must be a solution for it
[vivo X100 Pro] Megaman01:
When i get to the home from work i try to setup my nova and info if it is working. 😊
[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
That's cool! Thanks! Please LMK how it goes
[vivo X100 Pro] Megaman01:
I dont have same problem what you have. Mine works well 😅 nova to default launcher in settins default apps and settings like picture.
[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
Thanks for checking!

Did you try restarting the phone to see if Nova remains the default? It seems now it's only going back to default Vivo launcher when I restart the phone
[vivo X100 Pro] Megaman01:
Nova stayed after restart. No problems in my ultra.
[vivo X100 Pro] E-61:
Give it all permissions also enable it in accessibility.
[vivo X100 Pro] carrieta17:
Ok its time for the obligatory can it be rooted question… I miss android auto. I am willing to contribute if any devs are there to rooting the phone and reimburse for there time and effort and at the same time giving the solution for free in this forum.. there is a thread on the X100 pro where someone said they where able to root the bootloader i tired following those steps and could not get anywhere…
[vivo X100 Pro] carrieta17:
My nova launcher is working well.. even with the google real when swiping left.
[vivo X100 Pro] extremecarver:
Forget it, even with open bootloader there is no chance to do anything. Avoid Vivo if you want to have root or control of your system. You want root get Samsung, Google or with some drawbacks OnePlus or Xiaomi. Actually Google is the only major smartphone company where you keep warranty if I'm not wrong. With Samsung (broken e-fuse) or Xiaomi (needs key from Xiaomi ) warranty is voided if rooted. I think OnePlus the same you lose warranty. Oppo/Vivo no one managed to root a device since Android 13.

Origin OS is crazy restrictive about what you can do. It used to be somehow okay but every few updates they put even more restrictions about what System apps you cannot stop or influence. Loads of android settings are hidden or even removed. Shizuku killed all the time, impossible to get device owner rights and so on. It's basically iOS for android. Funtouch is better in so far that security updates are faster and more frequent, android Auto and some other apps run. But the rest of restrictions applies the same way.
[vivo X100 Pro] cturbos:
How did you register into VIVO account ,please? I have been trying to register to VIVO but no luck.

Also I'm havening issues with notifications "Gmail and Telegram" ,everything is set correctly.
[vivo X100 Pro] lifeexperience:
I dunno.. I was just able to register normally.. I created account and that was it.

I don't use notifications on my phone.. but I just tested it and no issues with notifications.
[vivo X100 Pro] wilpang:
How are people finding the device with China ROM?

Does English language element most of the Chinese language apps? Or will you need https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/content/change-android-language-for-multi-google-apps-without-root
[vivo X100 Pro] E-61:
Nah you don't need to use morelocale. The pre installed English language is pretty good.
[vivo X100 Pro] wolfgang212:
what do guys think about this? as an ultra owner I feel scammed

pro has better front and rear cameras in recording, they are more stable and with more details

the lens flare on the ultra are crazy and I doubt they can be fixed with a software updates, it looks straight like inferior lenses . I feel the phone is rushed up even with all the delays they didin't had time to perfect the new hardware.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Takeshi203:
I have a non-rooted Global ROM MIUI13. Sometimes my screen would stop responding. it could be in an app or outside the app. I cant click anywhere. but swiping works. and if i want to click something,either i need to swipe and let go at the place where i want to touch or i need to long press the place for like 0.5 seconds and it would register it . it is a pretty new phone , bought it just a year ago and i haven't dropped it yet. here are some things i did to troubleshoot.

I have Shut down, Restarted the device.

I disabled most of the background apps

Disable the notifications

Turned off gestures

Turned off 3 finger screenshot

Cleared system cahe and setting data

Updated to MIUI 13.0.6 to 13.0.8 .( since the problem still persists i am starting to doubt if this is a software problem at all)

What could it be? is that a screen defect?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] IsHacker:
Try restarting it to safe mode. You can do it either from MIUI recovery or by tapping and holding down "reboot" or "power off" in the power menu.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Takeshi203:
after restarting at safemode, what am i looking for here? can you explain me more?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] IsHacker:
Try using the phone in safe mode for a while and see if touch stops working again, that's what I meant.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Takeshi203:
ok i will try that, basically if it works fine in safemode it is a software error and if it still happens, it is a hardware error? i am noob at this so sorry in advance if i say something wrong
[Redmi Note 12 4G] IsHacker:
If it doesn't happen in safe mode, then obviously it's a software problem. If it does, it's MOST LIKELY a hardware problem, but can't know for sure.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Takeshi203:
I tried the safemode and it seems fine, but it has only basic functions and youtube so i couldnt test much . I disabled MIUI optimizations , and change UI themes and testing now, I also disabled all display over other apps options. I will update if anything pops up
[Redmi Note 12 4G] SFAZ38:
Is that even possible? This device ships with MIUI 14 installed.

After a year? I highly doubt it.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Takeshi203:
i got it last year so it was still in MIUI 13

you think it is an software issue then ,
[Redmi Note 12 4G] SFAZ38:
Maybe. Try flashing latest firmware for your device via fastboot mode.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] NOSS8:
Probably a device error, this device was released with Miui 14 as you say.

To flash in Fastboot mode the bootloader must be unlocked.

A data wipe from recovery before concluding that there is an HW problem.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Takeshi203:
What is the difference between Data wipe from recovery and Factory reset from settings ?
[Redmi Note 12 4G] NOSS8:
It's the same.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
What utility will check for updates for all apps, not just apps downloaded from the Google Play Store repository?

Background:

For whatever reason, when I use the Google Play Store update mechanism, it does NOT find all the apps on my system that have updates available, probably because it doesn't really check "all" apps in the first place; but I really don't know why the Google Play Store update mechanism doesn't work for all apps.

C:\> adb shell pm list packages -f

Even some of the app updaters don't seem to check for updates for all apps no matter where the apps came from.

The one I used to recommend as the best was this, but it's no longer on the Google Play Store so, while you can get it, let's try another one.

<market://details?id=pratham.bkm.appupdatechecker>

This one is also on my system which will find updates on a variety of sites such asGitHub, GitLab, ApkMirror, F-Droid Main, F-Droid Izzy, Atoide and APKPure. It updates all apps and has a nice copy command to create a file.

<https://github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater>

Like the app updater above, Obtainium also updates open source apps APKs.

<https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium>

And this one seems to only work for apps installed via the Google Play Store repository.

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.update.software.updateallapps>

In summary, there are lots of app apk updaters out there, but which one do you recommend, if any, that will find the updates for all the apps on your phone, no matter where you got those apps from?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK there isn't a single reliable tool that checks for updates for all apps, including those downloaded outside the Google Play Store. This is due to security restrictions and limitations. For apps downloaded from legitimate websites, developers often provide download links for new versions on their websites or changelogs. You'll need to check for updates manually and download/install them yourself.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I kind of wish you'd stop artificially increasing your "answer rate" simply by responding to every request for information by saying you have no idea what the question is asking and therefore you have no idea of the answer.
