I figured it out. The setting for USB usage is only available when the phone is actually connected with a USB cable, otherwise it cannot be seen. The control can be reached through Settings > Connected devices > USB > USB Preferences - but only if the phone is connected. This must have confused...

I ugraded my Samsung Galaxy S8 from version 8.5.7 to 8.5.9 which was added to the list of downloads on 28th August This seemed to go well but now neither my desktop (Win10) nor my laptop (Ubuntu) can see the phone if I connect by USB cable. Is there a setting on the phone that will allow it to...

Noob here and confirmed idiot. What is the advantage of installing Open Gapps over just installing a few critical apps in the form of .apk files? I'm not sure what path to take. Thanks for any advice.

I tried this. I had no problem sending and receiving text messages while wifi was turned on and connected. But if it's an intermittent problem then it might not show up sometimes.

It can see, connect and download from my network, which is 5Ghz. So the answer has to be yes. I don't know about the s-pen. I attempted to install SuperSU v2.82 zip through TWRP recovery and got "Successful" but it reported that it couldn't patch the boot image. Also I cannot actually see the...

Sorry if this in the wrong forum. I'm trying to flash Lineage onto this S8 (G950FXX, dreamltexx). I turned on the Developer options and OEM unlock is toggled on. Underneath it says "Bootloader is already unlocked". USB debugging is toggled on. I used Odin 3.14.1 load...

I don't know how to roll back to an earlier build. The phone will not boot. If I try VolumeDown+On/Off to try to get into TWRP Recovery mode nothing happens. The adb bridge option is turned on but if I connect the phone to my PC with a usb cable it does not appear in Device Manager as it used...

Thanks very much for offering to help. I already had the option for the Volume control buttons to wake the phone turned on. It's here - Settings > Buttons > Volume Buttons > Wake up device. This worked for a while then stopped. I disassembled the phone to look at the On/Off button. I tried...

I have a Samsung I9250 which I've unlocked, rooted and loaded with Lineage. The Lineage version is 13.0-20171126-NIGHTLY-maguro. The recovery is TWRP and the root is through SuperSU FREE (CM) v2.79-SR3. The On/Off button doesn't usually work. If the phone is off then pressing On/Off has no...

I went back to Device Manager and changed the MTP driver to the other alternative which now exists in the system. It's called "MTP USB Device" and is a Microsoft driver. This seemed to improve the situation and allowed me to see all of the contents of the folders in the phone's Internal Storage...

I found some stock ROMs for the G-I9520 that were in .tar format and installed one using Odin. This seemed to work fine. I have to use Odin because the phone appears to be soft-bricked in that neither adb nor fastboot can detect it. Then I used Wugfresh's very excellent Nexus Tool Kit to try to...

I don't think this is going to work. Odin requires .tar, .bin or .tar.md5 files and all the ROMs I can see are in .zip format. Anyone got any ideas?

I used Odin and TWRP in a .tar file. This seemed to work ok but on rebooting the phone now gets stuck on the Google logo. I assume it is a boot loop. The solution to this according to various threads is to either re-flash a stock image or to flash with a custom ROM. I'll try the latter.

I have an old Samsung Galaxy Nexus which I rooted and loaded with CWM V6.0.5.1 and an earlier version of Cyanogen some years back. I'd like to replace the old CWM with the latest TWRP and then load LineageOS to give the phone a new lease of life. The process of swapping Recoveries I found on the...

r/L is 'Reactivation Lock' I believe. There's a thread about it here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/bypass-samsung-reactivation-lock-t3250282

I used the you tube guide provided by usmanalitoo called "How to Root Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus Nougat 7.0 Easily!" Search for it. This message board prevents me from posting the URL because I am a "New User". It has much more detail. It's a bit fast so I had to watch some sections...

Thanks for the guidance dinamo1975. I followed these steps and have successfully rooted my SM-G920F using Odin/Twrp. Is there a modified ROM available for this phone (S6) based on LineageOS? If I've understood correctly these 2 ROMs are debloated stock ROMs. I've looked but couldn't find...
