[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
You seem to have an US branded version SM-S918

U

/DS. Those phones get the updates pushed by the providers. Outside USA you won't get an update.

You would have to download firmware and flash it yourself by using Odin.

You could consider flash the proper unbranded US-Firmware for SM-S918

U1

/DS, which should allow to receive OTA-updates outside USA.

There are several threads/posts about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fcferhat:
Thanks.

How about if I change to CSC code? Do you think if I change to country code for my country Can I get the updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Your country's CSC is not avaliable in de US-firmware, so you can't change it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fcferhat:
can I change for turkey?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
No, I think only US-carriers or US-unbranded.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] butchieboy:
Is there a SM-N918U/DS? 918U is United States. DS is dual Sim and as far as I know there are no dual Sim United States versions. What is your firmware build? Regardless your device will provision to whatever Sim you are using. You can't flash a different country firmware on a U version device. You can flash unlocked firmware, U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
Check out this comment. Following the tutorial I linked, the OP of that thread was able to successfully flash U1 firmware on his U device and then even got an OTA update from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iceepyon:
OS updates and patches are released at different dates and times depending on the device's country of origin. I would recommend you wait patiently as the OneUI 6.1 update should appear for your device soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
With a branded US phone, being outside US, he can indeed wait until hell freezes over...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonish5100:
I have a fire tv 2nd generation DV83YW that is stuck on the colourful amazon firetv logo.

i've tried connecting a usb keyboard and pushing ALT + I + print screen but it only ever seems to delay the displaying of the colour logo. (along with the same with c, the same but right alt, the same but with ctrl + alt + i and print screen.)

i've tried pushing right + back button on the controller and the gamepad and neither works.

I'm at a loss on how to get it going again.

Does anyone have any ideas for next steps?

Hello,

Can anyone make a keyboard that looks exaxctly the same like the original htc diamond keyboard but black.

the colors could be like in shapewriter
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] references:
Has anyone found one? Could be nice to keyboad to match with everything else
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nuke1:
Just a side note: Shape Writer is also available for WinMo and is incorporated in every app, rather than just one (as in the iPhone). Just go on Shape Writer's website.

i use Shape Writer for everything, its brilliant. Have a look in the Themes and Applications section, there is a thread called "SWYPE!!!" which discusses it on page 6, and has a download link.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] VerusAmos:
I always use the standard WinMo keyboard. I check the big buttons options with the use of gestures in the settings , which make your buttons smaller again but you get an extra row of numbers on your keyboard. I often use these gestures and it's really handy.

I wish there was a way to make the buttons a bit bigger again so i could use my fingers to type, I wouldn't mind reserving half the screen for a good keyboard.

So is there a keyboard out there with the use of gestures but without for instance the enter/backspace/shift buttons and without the spacebar

But a del button would be nice though, theres no gesture for that...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] VerusAmos:
Actually forget the keyboard, is there a way to add more gestures in the WinMo keyboard??? That would be awsome!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fixedonfixies:
hey I was thinking about the same exact thing. There are a lot of keyboards out there but i dont think much people realise how "potentially" awesome the Winmo Keyboard actualy is. If only the keys can be enlarged a little bit. or if a pop up ability could be added this should make one of the best keyboards out there am sure.
[General Topics] droid_noob1:
I just found this phone while I was unpacking, and I remember trying to flash a custom ROM onto it, and IIRC that's what bricked my phone. I do not believe the phone is one, the only input I get from the phone is a vibration every few seconds that I hold *just* the power button. If I hold the power button and either of the volume, nothing happens, not even the vibration. I would really like to use this as an iPod replacement since it still has a headphone port. Is there any way to fix this or should I just write it off as a loss and move on?
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Hello. This is a new question about my phone's custom OS. It has dark mode, but it's not present system-wide. I like the darker style, but it's not apparent on apps or anything.

It's only appearing in the app drawer and the Google search window. Anyone help me? Because I want dark mode system-wide on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Depends on Android version.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
I have Android 9, so it's not supported?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK Android 9 introduced a hidden developer option called "Force Dark Mode." This can trick apps into using a dark theme even if they don't natively support it. Be aware: This method might not work perfectly with all apps and can cause some visual glitches.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
What menu is that setting? I have PE, a custom ROM, and I don't see it anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Pixel Experience OS will come with a default Android settings app. This is because Pixel Experience is a custom ROM based on Android, and a functional Settings app is crucial for any Android device.

Within this Settings app, you should be able to enable Developer options.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
It is enabled, but there is no such option as Force dark mode.

It's literally not showing.
[General Questions and Answers] bdr127:
In Developer Options, in the "Hardware accelerated menu" section.... The option to toggle is called "Override force-dark". However, I think the option was introduced in Android 10.

I am planning to buy the Chinese version of the OnePlus 12 next week during my trip to Beijing. I have researched a lot about this phone, from hardware to software. However, I still have a question: can I use Google Wallet to tap and pay via NFC on this phone, which is powered by ColorOS, after linking my card to it ?

Hope everyone can help me this. Thanks
[OnePlus 12] flandolf:
I believe you can, however it's best to convert your phone to OxygenOS.
[OnePlus 12] minhlolxd19:
Maybe I will convert it in the future when I have free time, so when my phone is coverted to Oxygen, can I lock the bootloader and update the OS through OTA
[OnePlus 12] xtcislove:
Everything is working well if you convert to OxygenOS. The process takes like 20 minutes. Be advised, the process will wipe your data, so you should do it before using the phone. Follow this tutorial PRECISELY.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyZaara:
Hello to all. I'm new to installing orangefox recovery and in general rooting. I have unlocked my bootloader by watching many tutorials and have been successful at that. However, when I'm flashing the recovery.img file into my phone through fastboot, it boots into the orangefox recovery, which is fine. The only problem I'm facing is that it gives me a prompt where it says data partition encrypted. I am not aware of the password which is pretty evident now that the system is creating it's own password. The other annoying thing is when booting into system, it gives me a prompt "to start Android, enter your password". I have not created any password not do I know about any password. It does this automatically. Now I saw that formatting the data partition would solve when I flash later but it didn't. After formatting, it goes to factory settings and re-flashing just does this thing. As if the device becomes untrusted. I'm new to all of this and my only purpose is to install a custom rom in my phone. I'm doing this on a redmi note 7s. I need help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
You can no longer remove encryption by formatting data. You can still install the custom ROM without any problems, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyZaara:
How though? All the tutorials I've watched tell me to use a recovery like orangefox or other. However, how am I supposed to access my internal storage when it's saying that it's encrypted?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Usually, you have to select your rom's zip file in the recovery and install it. It doesn't even access your internal storage, so it should install just fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyZaara:
How? I'll need to access my internal storage because the files will be in my internal storage. And why does this recovery prompt me to give password when booting to system. It asks for a password I have not set. And it asks for the same password when unlocking the data partition in the recovery mode. I'm confused bruh
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
You have to copy it on to some external SD card or usb drive and then install from there. There's no password, it's just encryption. It's totally normal for the recovery to ask for password.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyZaara:
But then why is it asking for a password when booting to system? Why is it giving me a prompt, "to start Android, enter your password"? It's asking for something I haven't set. And it always happens whenever I install the recovery. This is quite annoying now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
I actually don't know why Android is asking for password. Are you already using any custom rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyZaara:
No I'm not. It's as it is. I haven't bugun anything just added the recovery and it's asking for some password. How will I install any custom rom at this rate?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IsHacker:
Just install the rom normally after dismissing the password prompt in the recovery and see if it asks for password too.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pureawareness:
Hello, i am coming from an oneplus 5t and were used to the process of unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash root/rom. But with the 9 pro i am unsure. Permament installation with twrp on OOS 14 is not supportet, what would be the process here? My plan would be to have a custom rom and twrp, does it still work like that? I am a bit confused now
[OnePlus 9 Pro] soldier760:
Well , rom installing process has changed a little bit here. me too came here from Oneplus 5.

For unlocking bootloader , you can follow this thread.

A14 based Custom roms are coming with firmware flasher zips . Roms are mostly needed to be sideloaded along with their compatible firmwares and for twrp you can follow this thread.

Remind you , twrp zip is needed to be flashed after every fresh install of rom and you will learn more as you explore here.

GOOD LUCK;)

[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] RR-99:
Just got a new X Fold 3 to replace my original fold.

I set a lock password using five digits. It works to unlock the phone, as expected. No problem.

But when I go to add face recognition or fingerprint, it won't accept that same password into the security settings. It still works to unlock the phone when it's off, but not to change any security, Including changing that password. This never happened with my old X Fold.

So I decided to do a hard reset using power and volume up buttons, like with the old X Fold. Tried that many times but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?
[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] RR-99:
Just to follow up. I finally reset the device by using Google remote reset.

I need to investigate what went wrong with the lock code, at the moment I'm not using any security.

If someone else would like to test the hard reset buttons , I'd be glad to know if it works for you.
[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] bobbylechat:
seems super strange indeed
[Vivo X Fold3 Pro] guybrush2099:
I remember security PIN is 6 digits...maybe you have 5 digits to unlock but you set 6 for security options and you can't remember you used 6 digits...It's only a my supposition...

Hello. I wanted to know how to dump my Redmi 6A's logo.img, but before, it simply fails to load the images, How do I dump my logo.img?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
If you have root access to Android's system files then you may run this ADB command

adb pull /system/etc/firmware/logo.img

Take note: The path might differ based on device.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Then what's next?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IDK. :) Depends on what you want to do with the extracted image.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
For me, it would be changing the stock Mi logo to a Google logo, and changing the "The system has been destroyed" screen to the more stock "Your device is corrupt" screen. (lol I bet my logo is somewhere in the /dev folder)

Which logo should I pull? Because there is literally 2 of them in my /dev folder:

/dev/block/by-name/logo.img

/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/logo.img

Which one is correct?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I think /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/logo.img - because this path is specific to your device's boot partition - is the more likely candidate for the boot logo. But IDK: never occupied with this.

FYI: I discontinue. Hope others can enlighten / guide you. Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Trying to use adb pull just gives me the Permission denied error.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
My absolute last 2 cents here:

1. You were already told that you must have root access. Why not carefully read posts?

2. Root the phone, either temporarily or persistent.

3. Once you have root access, in Windows terminal run this command sequence - one by one

adb devices
adb root
adb remount
adb pull <LOCATION-OF-BOOT-LOGO-AT-ANDROID-HERE> <LOCATION-ON-PC-HERE>
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
ADB cannot run as root, I would try booting to TWRP and following the steps

Don't flame me.

View attachment 6112074View attachment 6112075View attachment 6112076View attachment 6112077

Soon I will make a video tutorial on how to install it on my yt channel

But basically how i booted it:

(I was using flame os s21 ui 6.1 port v3 before with kernelsu 0.9.4 enforcing)

1. i downloaded & extracted super.img.xz and prism.img.xz with 7zip (while extracting super, 7zip showed some warnings but i ignored it)

2. Rebooted my a32 to twrp

3. did wipe>format data, type "yes"

4. flashed super.img as super image, and prism.img as prism image

5. format data again, now here is the confusing part; when i rebooted to system, it kept bootlooping, so to fix it, we need to flash the vendor.img from our stock firmware (mine is a325fxxs7dxa2) but it is even more confusing to get the vendor.img from firmware becouse it is inside a few compressed archives, it is hard for me to tell in english, sorry..

- download your stock firmware from samfw, frija or etc

- extract the firmware, you will get ap cp bl csc files. Then extract super.img.lz4 from AP file (you dont need to extract the whole file, just extract super.img.lz4)

- now we need to uncompress lz4 to get super.img, use this tool to uncompress it: https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases/download/v1.9.4/lz4_win64_v1_9_4.zip

- then finally extract vendor.img from super.img which we just uncompressed

- now if you transfer the vendor.img and flash it from twrp, you can get this error; size of image is larger than target device error (i did)

- I flashed it through fastboot mode with this command: fastboot flash vendor <path to vendor.img>

- Then i rebooted back to twrp and did a format data again, After rebooting to system it worked

*Bugs i saw*

- harmless android error when restarting

- refresh rate laggy ,need to set refresh rate to 90 using termux or adb shell, this is caused by stock vendor, on telegram dev said he will make custom vendor for binary 8/9

- there is 60 fps video recording on samsung camera app, selecting it will make camera app broken

- The rom is smooth but it lags very much on recents screen when using gestures

- quick settings also lag sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Dan112z:
Does fingerprint work?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Oediopus:
So you did not go back to stock firmware before flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] _Vigus_:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] _Vigus_:
Yes, but also installing from stock should work with those steps
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Oediopus:
I was wondering is it possible to get it work using the vendor image from the A34 port? If that vendor image works we do not need to go through all the confusing steps
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] _Vigus_:
