[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrots_:
I've been trying to fix my Note 4 for a really long time, and I think I've figured out the issue, but I wanna see if anyone can help confirm this.

It doesn't turn on unless plugged in, even then it does one of two things.

1. Begins bootlooping

2. Gets stuck on boot logo

If I remove the charger, it shuts down after a second.

I've tried reflashing the stock firmware, doing a PIT + NAND erase, and throwing it into the freezer but nothing. I've tried flashing CM, and it gets into the boot animation, then the screen seems to glitch out and it turns off.

The reason I'm thinking its a battery issue is because of it turning off a second after you take it off power. However, in the rare cases I was able to get it into Odin Mode, it stayed on after being unplugged. I was thinking it could be an eMMC issue, but I never got the error for that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxalilh:
It's probably a battery issue. Try directly wiring up a 4.2v power supply to the battery pins, it should work. You can directly wire 5v to the line with some chance of frying the whole board.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrots_:
Don't think I have a power supply of that voltage, but I have a couple of phone batteries that are the same or near the same voltage. I could use one of those batteries and wire it up to the positive and negative pins, right?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxalilh:
It doesn't matter as long as it's near.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] k41th1ng5:
Hi, how can you customize the boot logo for this phone?? there's no information in Internet! Just old tools and other stuff

To do it you need to dump the splash partition with root privileges and dd, but when I open the splash.img file it created is full of zeros (in hex editor), and I can't mount/open it. Any ideas? I attach my splash file. And sry for my bad english XD
[Redmi Note 12 4G] Baran Aspect #Tapas:
Impossible, or atleast currently there isn't a way to do it.
[Redmi Note 12 4G] k41th1ng5:
Yeah if there isn't a solution these days I don't think there will be one.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Schuetzy:
I accidentally flashed the wrong boot.img (incorrect version) and now I'm stuck in fastboot loop. It currently doesn't register the fastboot as bootd, and rebooting to bootloader, recovery, or system all sends me back here. TWRP isn't installed so I don't believe that's an option.

I was doing this so my wife who was recently in an accident could continue playing Pokemon Go with me, and out of haste, I softbricked it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm willing to pay someone if they can help me get it unbricked. I've rooted a few Pixels, but the OnePlus didn't work the way I intended.

[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
Hi huys, So a while ago I had installed xiaomi.eu rom on my xiaomi redmi note 10 "mojito" but it was nearing the end of its life so I tired to install pixel experience and all was well, until the developer announce he was leaving. The issue I am having is when I installed PE it replaced twrp with PE recovery. Now for the life of me I can not get twrp to install so that I may change to bliss rom.

I have tried every guide I could find to no luck. it gets stuck at fastboot boot (recovery image here). it turns the phone off and then nothing.... When I use the power button it boots to pixelexperience. When I hit the buttons to boot to recovery it boots to pixelexperience recovery. Fastboot buttons work like they should. I tried nebrassy verion of twrp, and I tried the version downloaded from twrp website, etc.
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
you cannot "install" recovery on this device (to the best of my knowledge).

there is no recovery partition on this device (unfathomable to me why).

you can only "boot" to recovery so e.g.,

fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

once in recovery, do whatever you need to do and reboot to system once done
[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
Except it never boots to recovery with that command, I just get a blank screen. I will try again later today. Thank you.
[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
I tried and got this error:

fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory
[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
When I run fastboot boot twrp.img then i get this error

shawn@shawn-samsung-cb4:~/Downloads/platform-tools$ fastboot boot twrp.img

Sending 'boot.img' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 5.462s]

Booting OKAY [ 5.328s]

Finished. Total time: 11.373s
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
try fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
I tried and got this error:

fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory

I posted that above the last response.
[Redmi Note 10] rahimali:
what is the name of your twrp file?
[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
twrp.img
[Redmi Note 10] vanquishedangel:
So I solved it somehow, no clue how though so I will record it as best as possible.

So from what happened, I tried to install TWRP again following every guide on the internet and the commands you gave and all failed. I was getting errors like above posted among others, including "your phone does not support slots" at one point. I had the pixel experience recovery working but could not get TWRP to install, so I resorted to adb sideload, this appeared to work flawlessly (and I suspect it did) however the phone would not boot into recovery after that, only fastboot, and fastboot had tons of issues it seemed. Commands would hang when it came to installing in the "slots" "recovery", or "recovery_a". usually with no partition error.

So I remembered my device was always weird and the typical commands never did work. I always had to adapt them, but can not remember how. My device also has slightly higher specs then other mojito devices. So I dug up old how to's from xiaomi.eu forums and came across this:

[HowTo] Flash Fastboot ROM with Linux

Tutorial for flashing/install xiaomi.eu Fastboot ROM's (Android 12 - MIUI 13) over Linux-Terminal. First of all we need adb and fastboot. We will get all what we need over android-tools: Arch Based distros (Manjaro, EndeavourOS, etc.) sudo pacman -S android-tools Debian based distros...

xiaomi.eu

And followed the instructions for linux. when it came to ./linux_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.sh it hung shortly after starting, at about the abl_a thing. I then rebooted the phone and the command line said "waiting for device" and when the device booted into fastboot again, the process continued without hang. Then it booted into TWRP, newest one for the device (incidentally, the version I sideloaded)! I do not think the script installs TWRP, so I think this is the version I sideloaded. I rebooted to make sure TWRP was permanent and it was.

It gave a warning about no "OS installed" so I copied Blissrom to an SDcard and inserted it and installed it through TWRP from there. Bliss rom booted. I also wiped data and davik cache for good measure before booting to blissrom.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
I recently purchased s23 ultra dual SIM 512 model sm-s918B in Canada. I inserted Indian sim jio 5g and it doesn't work. I see fluctuated tower signal but no carrier to support.

My local Canadian number worked but not jio sim.

Please advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Flash latest INS firmware from samfw.com in Download mode, then change CSC to INS.

Yours is probably a Latin American model with questionable support for Asian and European networks. But don't worry, it's the same model number, flashing correct firmware will solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
So do we have any steps to follow. May u pls share the link or steps?

My second question is when samsung releases new patch, every time I need to flash firmware?

Third - Instead of 5g sim, if I use a 4g sim will it work without any uphrades or flash.

It's a 1500$ phone and I have always used a 300$-400$ phone in ky entire life. It really feels so hard to see situation go like this where it's a hard earned money.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Can you confirm you have an S918B/DS with a dual physical sim slot?

If yes, proceed.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
I got a dual sim slot. In one I have chatr and other jio.

I got this - X918BXXU3CXCF

So after the flash, I will be able to reciever Samsung updates for India version?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
Sps version - saomc-sm-s918b-owo-gto-14-0018gto/gto/gto/gto

Which place is gto. I checked the link in description which was mentioned in video?

Quick thing is will I receive updates from Samsung ?

I saw the video. It's awesome. Looks simple.

Thanks a lot ❤
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
As long as your csc is changed to INS following the method shown the video, we will receive samsung updates as and when they are released. Incase you don't, you can always flash the firmware using ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
You can check out this comment of mine. It's for flashing U1 firmware on U variant devices but the flash process is the same for your case i.e flashing INS firmware (latest one) on your B variant S23U as well. The only difference is that you don't need patched Odin, regular Odin will do just fine (both linked in my comment).

The one thing that I don't know is that do you need to use CSC file in the CSC slot in Odin or HOME_CSC file? Because using the CSC file will wipe your data but HOME_CSC won't.

In the case of U1 on U, it's important to make a backup of your data first because you have to use CSC file.

But in your case, I guess you should also make a backup of your data first and then first try using HOME_CSC, and if something happens then you can alway retry with CSC file, which will factory reset your phone in the process.

Also, you should try posting a full screenshot of your settings > about phone > software information page. There's no sensitive info on there and posting that will help others provide you with more relevant/accurate advice.

GTO (your Active CSC) is for Guatemala (Central America). As you can see, your Multi CSC is OWO and India's CSC INS is available under OXM. So, you cannot use SamFW tool to simply change your CSC from GTO to INS because INS isn't available under OWO.

You'll have to flash the INS firmware using Odin, which will also change your Multi CSC to OXM and Active CSC to INS.

Yes, whenever an update is available for the INS CSC, you'll receive an OTA update from Samsung.

You should check these two comments as well. It's for a user who was on GTO like you and wanted to change his CSC to EUX, but just like your scenario with INS, EUX isn't available under OWO but under OXM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
Awesome. Thank you so much.

Now I understand the whole concept.

Cool 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
Am just worried because the download of 13 gb should be perfect. I tried " SamFw server " It stopped after a while then tried "Download on website". While installation it should not brick the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
Do we need to delete Samsung account?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
Were the files downloaded 100% and finished before you loaded them in Odin? What did you use to download these firmware files?

It should be better if you log out of your Google AND Samsung account before flashing firmware.

I looked this up and I think this is just a generic popup/warning whenever Odin is launched. I downloaded Odin myself and yup, it gives you that pop-up when you launch it for the first time (never used Odin before myself).

View attachment 6114974

Here's another user who got the same pop-up but was successful in flashing firmware. Though he didn't specify in his update post whether if he logged out of his Google and Samsung accounts or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
I used the samfw. Com to download the firmware.

I will flash later because I noticed my pc hangs in between may be due to old provessor and ram. So Am so scared to flash it.

The files were downloaded 100% .

While trying to update AP patch odin gets non responsive may be that's just my pc is old.

Will give a try in another 20 days as am gonna upgrade my system.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
Good.

What do you mean by "hang" exactly? Does Odin become unresponsive? Does it say "not responding" next to Odin in Task Manager? Does your entire PC become unresponsive so that you have to restart? Do you get a BSOD?

I'm assuming what's happening is that Odin APPEARS to become unresponsive when you're trying to load the AP file (the biggest file).

If you had read my comment that I linked in my original comment on your post, you would have known about this. Here's the quote from that comment.

As you can see, either your CPU or HDD is very slow, hence it appears that Odin has become unresponsive and isn't doing anything and is taking too long. Odin appears that way but it's actually checking the hash of the AP file, but it can take really long, depending on how slow your system is.

That's why you have to load the files in Odin BEFORE entering download mode on your S23U. Because as explained in that YouTube video, download mode can time out if you take too long to initiate the flashing process.

Here's some links explaining how hashing files is both dependant on CPU and HDD (I/O)

It can't hurt to wait. Especially if you're upgrading your system. Or you can try a friend's pc (is stable, isn't buggy or gets frequent random BSODs).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ram1221:
Thanks for the link I went through it. Let me wait and by next month I will flash

[Android TV General] Johann Mosin:
Hello there! I have recently purchased a mysterious Android TV Box.

It has no labels on the outside other than it has 2GB of DDR3. By image search I've found that it is MK813, also known as KD812.

I've found very little information on it, basically non spare for this one review that was copied to other sites:

MK813 Quad Core Android TV Box with a 2MP Camera Sells for $47 - CNX Software

Prices for Android TV boxes based on Rockchip RK3188 are getting ridiculously low, probably because some people are getting rid off stocks. After MK918

www.cnx-software.com

It doesn't boot into the system, gets stuck on the Android 4.2 logo. I tried to get to recovery mode, but it has two buttons on the board, both concealed under the enclosure.

Even so, I somehow managed to somehow connect it to my PC, loosing video feed in the process.

After installing RK drivers it shows in Device Manager as Android ADB Interface.

I've tried to reboot it into proper recovery via ADB tools, but adb devices command shows nothing.

RK Batch Tool doesn't detect either, which is shame, because I've seem to found the only original firmware image for this device on some Chinese forum.

Finless ROM Flash Tool detected it after manually inserting VIP and PID, but I'm not sure how to correctly use it with the full firmware image. Or how to use it in general.

So that's the progress so far. Would really love to see some feedback and advices from people who actually know how to do this, because I'm at a loss.

[OnePlus 12] jkmaxfli:
Hello.

I did not find anywhere in the thread whether it is possible to fully backup and restore via twrp recovery.

And if so, what all must be fulfilled in order for the backup and restore to be fully functional. I mainly mean rooting the partitions correctly and what to check when backing up in twrp recovery?

Could someone make a detailed guide if the backup via twrp recovery is fully functional and problem-free, because I think that this method of backup is the best.

Thanks a lot.
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
There are a lot of guides on how to use twrp and backups but none that are specific to op12 because twrp works without specific device commands and there's no official twrp for op12 (there's an alpha or beta release not an official one)
[OnePlus 12] jkmaxfli:
This is usually an unofficial twrp recovery for every phone. My question is whether someone has already done a backup and restore of the entire phone - system on the Oneplus 12 and if it is fully functional.
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
I have no done a restore but I've done several full backups
[OnePlus 12] jkmaxfli:
That's fine, but I need to know if the recovery will succeed as well. It's nice that you can back up, but if you don't know if the recovery will work, then the backup is useless. Logical.
[OnePlus 12] chopleyfi7:
I've tried a couple times and every time it didn't work.
[OnePlus 12] jkmaxfli:
Thanks a lot, so broken, that's what I needed to know.
[OnePlus 12] JEANRIVERA:
can you specify what have you tried exactly, I understand backup and restore, but can you be more specific,? did you try to restore just user data? the entire backup? all partitions?, and if it failed why haven't you wrote about it in the TWRP thread, maybe with some logs so we can be able to fix the issue? if you can provide a recovery log after a failure to restore it is more productive than just saying it doesn't work

@Nebrassy
[OnePlus 12] chopleyfi7:
I tried just user data I tried just super I tried checking every box and restoring with that none of it worked. Always ended up in a boot loop or straight back to bootloader.

I didn't think about it at the time to save any logs. But I'm sick of having to start from scratch I'm not going to do it again lol. Sorry

Its been a while that snapchat has implemented hwid bans. If you get banned twice one a phone it goes into a 6 month ban period and if you get banned again its permanent. (Per account).

So even if you change the account it will end up getting banned over and over again.

Is there a way to change the phone identifiers to bypass this?

There are a few methods other than the ones that you have shared.

Here is one.
[Windows 11] kotiklinok:
I want to clarify what I mean. I want to continue to use windows apps, but I want to change the “launcher”. as in phones. On phones, you can change the launcher to change the desktop, application menu, and more.

I don't think I can find anything like that in windows itself, so I thought I'd look in linux.

Sorry, I don't speak English. If something has been translated most likely incorrectly just point it out and I'll clarify it.
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:
Yes, there are several app launchers for Windows 11 that can provide a Linux-like experience. One such launcher is WinLaunch, which is inspired by the macOS Launchpad and offers a customizable and user-friendly interface to launch applications. It allows you to organize apps into groups and pages, and you can access it with simple mouse gestures or keyboard shortcuts.

Another option is Wox, an effective launcher for Windows that is free and open-source. It allows for quick searching of files and applications and supports plugins for extended functionality.
[Windows 11] kotiklinok:
I'm afraid that's a bit off the mark. WinLaunch was close to what I want, but it didn't remove explorer.exe. I'm willing to remove it myself, but I get nothing in place of what I removed. try uninstalling it and see what I want removed.
