Download Rom from trusted website and flash Official rom yourself.

Just download necessary things. Watch some videos. And lock bootloader again if you want.

You can choose spend a day with it or ask for someone with Ultraview/TeamViewer (some paid, some free)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] NOON1010:
I bricked my phone while locking the bootloader, I'm afraid of doing the procedure again.

Also, can u recommend me trusted sites?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5ttasha:
I have a windows program I am trying to port to Android 13. I am using Qt6.7.

I have manifest.xml permissions and a runtime permissions function. Through qdebug statements, I am getting that every permission other than manage, write, and read external storage works, but those three are denied. The device I am deploying to has allowed file access to this app. Why is this happening? I am trying to use QtAndroidPrivate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Vancore36:
After flashing the XAS firmware to my phone, I encountered initial issues with data connectivity—it was only picking up 3G. To resolve this, I decided to switch to a custom ROM. Since then, I've had no problems with LTE connectivity, and the custom ROM has become my daily driver without any issues.

Begin by downloading the latest version of Odin and the XAS firmware specific to the SM-N920P (Note 5). Ensure your phone is in download mode. Once you have the firmware ZIP file, unzip it and load all necessary files into Odin as required. Proceed with flashing the firmware.

Use odin to flash the firmware

After flashing, the Sprint logo should disappear, and your phone should boot up perfectly. (I'm in the Caribbean, and my carrier supports it, so it should work for you too.)

2ND STEP IS OPTIONAL

The custom ROM I found was actually on XDA, made by TeleTeam, so big thanks to them for this stable ROM.

After flashing the firmware, You can either transfer the custom ROM file at this point or wait until your in recovery mode (either way works). Put the phone back into download mode and flash TWRP Recovery. Make sure 'Auto Reboot' isn't selected in Odin during the second step.

Once flashing is complete, hold down the Home button, Volume Down, and Power buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank. Then, switch to holding the Volume Up, Power, and Home buttons until the Note 5 logo appears. Keep holding until TWRP appears on the screen. If TWRP doesn't appear, you may need to reflash a different recovery file for SM-N920P.

Once in TWRP remember to make a backup of your current OS before proceeding. Tap 'Wipe', then 'Advanced Wipe', and select Data, Cache, and System to wipe them. Return to the main menu, tap 'Install', navigate to the custom ROM file in your internal storage, and flash it.

After flashing, you should wipe the internal storage, then reboot your phone.

It is going to take some time to boot up so please give it some time and then enjoy

Hi folks,

Well, as you probably guessed I've just been given an O2 Xda IIs from a friend, and before I start the job of setting it up, I'd like to get it up to date first...

I see that to get the latest version of all the ROM files, I'd need to do two separate updates (One from the Dutch WWE version BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship.exe, then the radio update BA_RRPT_Radio_11500.exe). Could I just replace the radio file in the Dutch version with the most up to date radio file, then just follow the guide as previously and get it to do both updates at the same time?

Also, im baffled with regards to the passwords and update utils in the getting started guide, ie, MaUpgradeUt / MApgradeUt_noid.exe - Which one do I use since my user ID's not the same? What’s with the passwords later on? Do I still need to edit the bat file? Do I even need to extract the files (If not, how could I combine the new radio ROM?)... etc? - I'd appreciate it if someone could explain what's happening there!

(Problem is I’m not sure which part the "Note : Because of historical reason you can read it" bit applies to, it seems to be in the middle of an explanation :-S ... Maybe if the guide was split into “new” and “old” it might be a bit clearer…)

Thanks!

Hodgkinson.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] sireniankyle:
I tried the TORRAS Magnetic Armor Stand HERE, but the hinge protector has already fallen off, and the front is not screen protector friendly. Not worth the $100, but I will say that the magsafe ring is perfectly aligned. That was a concern that I had since the coil is off center.View attachment 6126767
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] Flame Red:
Not for everyone, as it provides no protection other than the lightest of scratches, but I went with a Carbon Fiber case like I have used for the last three Folds.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] mickliq:
I think this one is on AMZN?

Waiting on my Pitaka carbon fibre to arrive any day...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] Flame Red:
Yes. The equivalent is also on Aliexpress for less if you don't mind the wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] bayniner:
Currently using the official samsung case with Spen and it's great but not screen protector friendly
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] iceepyon:
Yeah, the Official S-Pen case is good for those who use the S-Pen and want a slim case with basic protection.

I am not sure if it is cover screen tempered glass protector friendly, as I got a Japanese PET screen protector installed on my Fold 6 for free when I collected my Fold 6 at the Samsung Experience Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] Thebacklash:
Also picked this case up.. lasted *less* than 1 day until the hinge broke.

The S-Pen slot is great, except it gets in the way of the power/volume buttons.

Returned it today to Amazon and going to try a cheaper Magsafe/S-Pen case for $40. All i'm looking for in a case is S-Pen slot and Magsafe, not really for charging though. If I have to buy a ring to attach to a case i will.

Looked at the Supcase with magsafe... I like it but they don't list how thick it is, same with the Spigen Tough Armor Pro. To me they look like they add 1/2 inch to the Fold
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] bayniner:
Unfortunately it's not tempered glass friendly, the case pushes down on both top n bottom left corners causing protector to bubble in corners
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] iceepyon:
I had the Supcase for my Fold 3, it does add some thickness not necessary am 1/2 inch. But it does offer superior protection to other cases. Same with the Spigen Touh Armor Pro
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] iceepyon:
That is interesting... I know that heavy duty protection case don't work well with tempered glass protectors (unless they come with one built into the cover). But I wasn't sure that the situation would be the same for the official S-Pen cover too
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] bayniner:
Yea I'm going to give another brand a try because I definitely need 1 with how little protection this case offers 😅. It's not really bad and barely noticeable unless u push down on the corners
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] sireniankyle:
Switched to the Otterbox Defender XT today. I love the feel compared to the TORRAS.

View attachment 6127260
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] iceepyon:
How much thickness does that add to your device? I am expecting the Poetic Spartan case to add a bit more thickness
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] sireniankyle:
A considerable amount. Not quite double? Keeping in mind that I'm eyeballing it from my desk at work. Also adds so.e bezel to the i side, but I enjoy the texture and extra room to hold it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6] Thebacklash:
I picked up a Niilkin? case to try ($45 i think) Magsafe, S-Pen, and hinge protection.. If this doesn't work out, going to go the Otterbox route and just add a Magsafe ring to the case. I rarely wireless charge, but both the mount in my truck and my work vehicle are magsafe..

If my phone had got infected I would reinstall the whole system by downloading a factory image, unzipping the zip file, boot into bootloader, and run flash-all.sh or flash-all.bat (depending on your PC), which will install the whole system and wipe the phone clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] sefherrera10:
I got a Flip 4 (used) off Target and I played around with it without using a sim/esim and registering on any network. When time to do so (as an extra device), I learned that it could not connect to any network though it detects the sim card. By this time, warranty is already void. Is there a way to flash the modem to try and reconfigure it to work. It was supposed to have been factory reset and is unlocked. (I did another factory reset just in case).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elissawi:
Its been a while for me trying to install, run and play android apps on my windows tablet

I got a Microsoft store on it, but its way too far from Google play

I tried using many android emulator but ended up with the limitations of my tablet specifications...

The emulator requires better cpu and ram to open apps and games

I'm trying to play clash of clans and clash royale

But they are too heavy to run through my pc specs and the emulator only run social media apps

My pc specifications:

Intel(R) Core(TM) M-5Y10c CPU @ 0.80GHz 998 MHz

Ram 4 GB

X64

Model: Dell Venue 11 pro 7140

I tried Google play games beta -Tons of error code couldn't install it-

Gameloop emulator since its for windows 32x system and will play the game on the lowest setting and optimize it -ended up with error code 20 connection problem -

And the last I have tried... Bluestacks

So the reason why I Start using bluestacks is for Clash Royale and clash of clans

My tablet specifications that is running by windows 10 64x is super suck

I installed android pie 64 cuz its required to run the 2 games

But still even with the lowest settings

And activate eco mode feature

Lowering FPS to 5-10

Cleaning ram feature

I still couldn't open the apps not even for once

Is there any chance to run these 2 games with my computer specifications!

Or do you know any other android emulator run apps as low as it can get!

But I couldn't install it, keep getting error code 20 with connection problem
[Google Pixel 5a] howdoitype1:
I was trying to root pixel 5a using a root guide from here but I must have made some mistake with finding the right boot image to flash because the phone became stuck on fastboot. At this point it would show the product version as barbet but when I tried to fix it by flashing another version via flash-all I accidentallt flashed a redfin which I believe broke something. It now shows as product version unknown and has a weird screen glitch (though I dont know if this was caused by that). I am not very experienced so I just want to know how to fix this in any way even if I have to lose personal data on the device. I just need to get it back to normal and boot it.

Something is filling my P8P with CRAP.

and since there are about 100 apps with 100 directorys and sub directorys

and GOOGLE has decided i DONT NEED TO KNOW what is in in the

storage/emulated/0/android/data directory...i cant find where all the crap is

at least 50 GB of unknown crap i did not install or download.

anyone have an app that can give me directory sizes in a graph or pie chart

for storage/emulated/0/android/data ????

my go to open source (diskusage) app cant with a14 even with root.

where is "system data" and what will clean it?

(if it is not storage/emulated/0/android/data (which i am pretty sure it is)

( google files app does not tell me where files are located (path wise)

and really is a piece of **** if you are not cleaning pictures up)

GOOGLE PROTECTING MY OWN DEVICE FROM ME IS A JOKE.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] pcuserpro:
Hello, on some devices every installed app shows up as a "system app" in storage manager. I have seen this situation with a few Samsung models, that could be the case on your Google Pixel, too.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
If you are rooted, then install Termux from F-Droid (NOT Play Store). You'll need to grant Termux root access (in Magisk) as well as all files access (in System/Apps/Termux). Then, in Termux, install ncdu by running pkg install ncdu

Then run su -c ncdu /sdcard/Android to see what's using up space. You can drill down into the directories to see their storage usage.

I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like on my phone.

You could even do it for the whole of /data with su -c ncdu /data
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Also a great file manager app for root is MiX.

It'll let you into every directory
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
Well either you don't really have a P9P (ie a Pixel 9 Pro), or you have an engineering sample which could easily explain the situation.

Details matter......
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
its not a P9P its a P8P but im sure the same S HI T applies to the P9P in that your phone is protected from you knowing what is on it.

unless you are here to tell us that android 15 has dropped overprotecting android/data files from the owner from knowing what is there????

other wise google thinks details mean S H I T. you are denied from knowing them.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
it does not however give you the size of the directory's in a list or any other way i have found. so ....... you can get in but you cant see enough info to help find which is the biggest directory

[XPERIA X1 General] Halfpenny:
I posted a similar thread on the Touch Pro forum and had no real answers so will ask the question here.

Are there any people here who had a Touch Pro and moved over to the X1 ??

I am getting very close to ditching my Touch Pro as it is simply not a usable business tool. It is a nice toy and asthetically pleasing, but as a tool to use everyday for 100+ emails and phone calls, it is unacceptable.

I want to stay on a WinMo platform and will probably go back to my old TyTn2 - the best phone I have ever owned in my opinion - but what are the real experiences of X1 owners who use their device as an everyday tool ??

Thanks

Steven
[XPERIA X1 General] Loco5150:
I have them both and I am selling the Touch Pro. I will write more on my reasons later when I have more time...:D
[XPERIA X1 General] Halfpenny:
Cool thanks - I would be interested to hear your summary.

Drop me a PM if you don't want to publish on the forum
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I've owned both the touch pro and the xperia x1. Its kinda of a hard to say one is better than the other. I can give you the pros and cons of both and tell you why i kept the xperia and sold the touch pro.

Xperia Pros

-Fast rotations speed (fastest i've ever seen on a winmo device)

-3.5mm headphone jack

-800x480 resolution (both a pro and a con)

-recessed screen which means its hard to scratch when you lay it on a desk or something

-more responsive touch screen

-sleeker design

Xperia Cons

-Worthless panels

-one of the worst keyboards i've ever used

-slightly buggy but you can counteract that with a new rom

-stupidly placed speaker (its at the bottom of the device basically right where you would hold it with ur hand)

-Weak speaker

-Not sure if anyone else notices this but when run coreplayer for an extended period of time the video generation slows down on the device and requires a restart.

-WVGA screen has some compatibility issues but those seem to be being worked fairly quickly

Touch Pro Pros

-One of the greatest keyboards i've ever used (AT&T screwed up the key layoud in my opinion)

-I prefer the more square screen instead of the wvga

-magnetic stylus is nice

-less buggy tfl3d and overall as well

-Accelerometer (Nice but useless)

Touch Pro Cons

-slow rotations screen

-tfl3d landscape is crap

-no 3.5mm headphone jack

-non recessed screen, much easier to scratch

The reason i kept the xperia was purely because of the rotation speed and the 3.5mm headphone jack. It can use tfl3d from the touch hd and it seems to run it smoother. I do miss my touch pro keyboard though.

I hope this helps
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Hah, I had HTC in my hands, now I own X1.

I would add - I love panels, and don't like useless - for me! - TouchFlo.
[XPERIA X1 General] Loco5150:
Some good points on the post above.

One main thing missing though is the build quality. Xperia feels hands down better opposed to the the Pro and its plastic feel. I honestly felt that the Pro is going to be in 2 pcs in 6 months.

Panels are useless to me to, but that is no issue since Im running a rom where panels have been removed... Software things are not issues IMHO, everyone can install what they want by installing a clean rom.

The screen on the Xperia... WHAAAAAT!!! is 100 times better than the screen on Touch Pro. Not only the obvious more pixels but the responsiveness... much better feel all around. I used my Pro yesterday to get it ready for sale and really, it felt like Im using a device from year ago because the screen on the X1 has so much more pixels and is so much better in feel too...

The joystick on Xperia is much better and useful than the wheel on Pro.

Xperia has the soft buttons opposed to the stupid homekey on Pro. (Pressing OK takes you home)

Basically 2 things are better on the Pro:

1. The keyboard... But now that I got used to the Xperia's board I actually like its feel more. Its missing the number row and CTRL key (what you can get by nice little app found from the board)

2. stronger community behind the device, because lets face it, ALL HTC PHONES WOULD BE PRETTY ****T WITHOUT XDA... But there are still bugs on the Pro too, and if you compare Touch Pro's community to Diamonds; its no contest, so much more users on Diamond.

Thats the reason we got the Xperia to dutty, I honestly think he can take this device a step further. Also by time as X1 gets cheaper more users will find Xperia the more it will be developed. (NOT BY HTC, BUT THE MEMBERS OF XDA DOING IT FOR FREE FOR THEM)

I think thats enough for now... I can write more as something comes to mind...
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
Yea i completely spaced on the build quality. You are right its 10000000000x better. Excellent Points.
