Hello everyone,

I hope you're all well. I've lost my device and account for my Galaxy Watch 4. Could I please get the firmware for SM-R870 to download wirelessly using ODIN?

Hey EllieCat,

Could you please help me understand how to access and download the file without violating any rules? I'd appreciate it if you could show me how it's done.

The file is on a site I cannot give to you. You have to look for it on your own, and download it. Make sure it also doesn’t have viruses as well.

Flashing a Galaxy Watch 5 (or 4) with regular Odin via USB

I bought a non-working Galaxy Watch 5 on eBay recently. When I received it, it booted and charged but it wouldn't enter recovery or wireless download mode. Attempting to do either by any method would result in nothing but a black screen, and...

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
Bought a z fold 4 Verizon locked.

Called to get it unlocked for international travel. Denied, but was assured after 60 days it will automatically unlock.

On day 62, called support and they confirm it is unlocked, tried tmobile sim and it prompts that it is locked, can't change carriers, call verizon.

phone is still locked.

2 hours on the phone with transfers, still locked, attempted factory reset, reset with no sim in, then boot up with tmobile sim in.. all end with still carrier locked message, call verizon...

I'm done with verizon. I held up my end of the bargain per policy for the 60 days. I thought there were fcc laws that they have to unlock it, but i think they are bypassing the law through saying/doing the unlocking of the IMEI on their network, but with their version of the firmware on samsung phones, it has zero way to unlock it.

I'm not going to go down the time sink of flashing it over to other carriers and seeing if that works.

I should have been at this point a lot earlier, but I cannot in good faith recommend verzion ever. They are anti consumer to the biggest degree.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
To update.

Another 1.75 hours on the phone. For a good hour of it I had two phones running with both Verizon and Samsung on the phone. They would talk to each other.

We got to a final thing. Verizon claims it is unlocked in their system and they have it all done.

Samsung says they will now unlock it, but needs original purchasers email address or phone number. Without that, they will not help and do the unlock.

I bought this from a Facebook person and don't have their contact info anymore. So at this point, I'm stuck at Samsung now.

Interesting though. Samsung admits they have to do something to unlock the Verizon locked phone. Even though Verizon has the phone as unlocked.

So other reddit threads and people that said Verizon swears it's unlocked, but it's not working...Samsung has to do something for Verizon phones.

There was pointing fingers, but what I feel about this.

Sammy and Verizon have even a dual lock. Makes it even harder to unlock when you satisfy all requirements. Then Verizon can blame Samsung. And Samsung can blame Verizon, unless you also have in a different phone that Sammy can talk to if the Verizon rep. Then Sammy will ask for info you maybe wouldn't have if bought second party.

Then you're denied.

Why would Samsung care to not unlock when Verizon is telling them it is unlocked? My guess, higher up deals to make it hard to unlock...

I'm done with Sammy and Verizon. I don't know if any are much better, but some assistant to an executive will read this post. Then they will do bring it to and do the same ****. Consumers be damned. I love it.

Hmm, I get that Sammy doing it for security reasons, theft, etc...but Verizon unlocked it on the network.

So basically all Samsung phones on Verizon are forever locked unless you also know the original purchasers email. But they probably would want a code sent, then Your again screwed anyways.

I was really loving the multitasking in the fold. I have to never again go Sammy.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
I do want to point out for those that may think this. I asked if there is some other reason it can't be unlocked. Like no payment, stolen, ir anything else. It was not.

I have the entire phone call recorded, I thought maybe I would need that if it doesn't get unlocked. But at this point I'm going to be leaving Verizon and I'm going to put up the fold 4 for sale.

If you have any questions I will answer them. There is no good reason this phone is staying locked.

Edit: I might hold onto the fold for trade in on a fold 6... obviously buying unlocked. I'm use to them all putting a finger in our behind. So I guess what did I expect...nothing changes, nothing can actually be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
I'm wondering if flashing over to another carrier might actually work. Since Verizon says it's unlocked? I doubt it though, why would Sammy have admitted that they do the unlock.

It's fd up. I've heard Sammy doesn't do the unlocks and according to FCC it is in the carrier. I also have that recorded on the phone call that they have nothing to do with it and stated by the tech guy at Sammy its in Verizon according to Sammy abiding by FCC laws...lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] badazzmescnc:
My phone is verzion it's unlocked they told me it was 90 days but mine is unlocked but the phone has to be on when it's on the 60th day bc that's when they send out the unlock signal you can go to verzion store
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
Pop a different sim in and see if it actually is...

Final calls, Verizon people, I am quite certain the people I worked with I can trust. Unless they are not human beings, I do trust that their system says it's unlocked.

When you got a T-Mobile locked phone, there's settings you click to unlock the phone. That doesn't exist on Verizon Samsung firmware.

So my endgame take in all this. Verizon firmware on current phones have software that still holds the phone hostage. Supposedly if you get both Verizon and Samsung phone you might be able to get it unlocked. Verizon's unlocked then allows them to blame Verizon.

If you bought your phone third party, even with evidence to Samsung that you have satisfied everything and phone is unlocked, Samsung will not unlock the phone unless you know the original purchasers information.

I still don't really fully understand that now the blame is on Samsung and that they won't unlock it, but knowing how other unlocks work on Samsung phones versus Verizon, there seems to be some deliberate software restrictions that Verizon and Samsung have put in place for whatever reason... Whatever reason is that f*** you, you ain't leaving Verizon.

Phone is unlocked on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
As much as I want to not be that *****ing person about not able to unlock a phone. I wanted to go through all possible things and calls since I fulfilled all policy.

I exhausted all levels. I have it all recorded.

The Samsung tech that sided with me when Verizon tech was saying untrue things. That was good info on where I should place blame.

F* Verizon. Never ever buy a phone locked to them. Never!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
I'd post the recordings, but I'd have to edit out the personal info, and I'm exhausted from the let down. I don't know what value that might give, but I'll always have the recording now, so if needed, I will provide it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
Nice, got this email...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
I've accepted bootloader locks on Sammy phones. At what point can I not be fing mad at this ****?

I don't think what I went through is right. Maybe it is and I just gotta suck it up.

Nobody will go through what I did, because nobody wants to get their phone unlocked and will spend the amount of hours to go up the chains to really try and get it unlocked. Based if the fuuuing policy.

So I guess it really doesn't matter. I've been on xda long enough, I love my device freedoms. Sure I can just buy sugar that might be unlocked. OnePlus fd us eventually.

I don't really like that this is end. I'll move on, but ill leave this thread here for someone else to save their time. I'll put keywords so yah find it when you almost trusted a fing company. Singed, an unimportant user of a phone.

Samsung unlock locked Verizon FCC thread poop
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] maamdroid:
I'm tired of having to flash a phone just to fix stupid s**". I'm just so tired of this. Why do we all have to put up with this? General people don't know, that's probably why companies can keep doing this stuff. I'm utterly pissed off.

What fing phone can I get that runs android and isn't carrier manipulated?
[Xiaomi 13] d@rkf0rce:
I have very bad battery life in HyperOS, what could i do? I've used adb to remove facebook apps, i'm using only battery economy mode. And now fast charging of 120w isn't 25 minutes, more like 50 minutes. But i want to keep phone rootless and on stock firmware.

When i bought phone and it was miui it was fine. And even after some time on HyperOS it was fine

[General Topics] Hendrix7:
Posted here because the "General Questions and Answers" subforum does not support polls, so I guess I am supposed to post them here.

I am doing this poll because something that severely annoys me about smartphones is that the front camera is launched if the front camera was last selected before exiting, and there is no option for "do not remember last used camera" or "always launch on the rear camera".

On several occasions, I missed out moments because the front camera opened. Before I was able to switch to the rear camera, the moment had already passed.

Every time before exiting, I need to take care of switching to the rear camera first.

Is it just me who is annoyed by this? Which do you prefer?
[General Topics] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Fourth option - have a setting in the camera app for the user to decide between three different options:

Always launch the rear camera.

Launch the last used camera.

Always launch front camera.

I would want my camera to always default to rear, but I can understand other users might have other preferences.

Note that on my Pixel 8 Pro (and all my previous Pixels and other phones), rear was always default.
[General Topics] ThePharaohArt:
fifth option

- never launch the front camera

[OnePlus 12R / OnePlus Ace 3] etajv100:
First of all big thanks to @xXDarkfreDXx for the idea to tinker with LuckyTool to get this to work.

If you have an Ace 3 running oxygenOS and you want to enable "Adaptive Frame Booster" on your phone follow these steps:

What you need is:

- A rooted device running Magisk with Zygisk enabled.

- LSPosed App from Play store, Magisk Module. (download the zygisk release)

- LuckyTool from Github

- Two apks Game Assistant_9.14.1.apk and Game Center_12.4.1_beta_1.apk preferably in order.

- Once you start LuckyTool go to the "Function" Tab and look for Game assistant.

- a couple of minutes to make a few tweaks by following the video below,

Record_2024-07-05-21-34-40.mp4

drive.google.com

*after enabling the options make sure to click the green button at the bottom of the list

Make sure LuckyTool is enabled in LSPosed after installing the app and the magisk module.

As you can see you can even push the game to render at 144hz but that's up to you.

View attachment 6120579View attachment 6120580

From what i know and heard only the Ace 3 have the Pixelworks X7 Gen 2 MEMC chip so this shouln't work with 12R devices, but nothing is stopping you from trying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samsungusersometimes:
i have a galaxy s7 sm-g930f and i flashed twrp to it, however even after flashing twrp, it still goes into the normal recovery mode, in the settings the phone status is still set to custom, does anyone know why?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tek3195:
When you flash recovery you have to check no reboot. Once recovery is flashed disconnect from PC and use hardware buttons to boot to recovery, if you let it auto reboot to system it overwrites recovery with the stock one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samsungusersometimes:
Alright, thanks

edit: nvm i managed to reboot it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] planeboy:
When flashing TWRP, make sure to flash anything that prevents the OS from replacing TWRP (like Magisk) or else TWRP will not stay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samsungusersometimes:
i cant do that since i cant actually boot into twrp. when its done flashing a little bit of the loading bar is still unfinished but odin says pass, and at that point it just dosent let me reboot into recovery no matter how long i hold down the buttons, i have to reboot back into download mode and select restart phone. i also want to install lineageos, so will flashing that stop the os from replacing twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tek3195:
You can't hold recovery button combo from download mode screen. Hold power and volume down and as soon as screen goes black switch to volume up still holding power button.

Lineage will replace recovery with lineage recovery unless you remove it from installation .zip

i have just tried it, but now theres nothing in the internal storage and it only boots into twrp, if i try to boot into system from twrp, it bootloops.

[Google Pixel 8a] UCYT5040:
I recently had a security update that removed root status from my device.

How can I reinstall root without losing my data?

I also would like to avoid this in the future.

I used PixelFlasher to originally root the device.

This guide is for the Pixel 8 Pro, but the same difference (just use the correct factory images or Full OTA Zips for your 8a):

July 1, 2024 AP2A.240705.005 Global | .A1 Telus - Unlock bootloader / Root Pixel 8 Pro [Husky] Stable firmware / SafetyNet

xdaforums.com

In short, you reinstall root the same way you rooted the first time, except in this case your bootloader is already unlocked, and it's optional to re-flash, as long as you use the same image to re-root with.

Edit: You can also use PixelFlasher to re-root the same way you rooted with it the first time. You should always apply each month's patches manually to avoid losing root. In my How To Guide, it also details the option in Developer options to disable automatic updates, although if push comes to shove, Google can still get around that in "emergencies".

You do know that the LED on your mobile device is intended to be used as a camera flash for indoor and low light photography? Not as a flashlight right? I mean in a pinch it could be used as a flashlight but that was not the primary use for the LED
