I have a Samsung Tab 3 SM-T820. I noticed a few weeks ago it was still running android 7. Santa didn't bring me a new tablet.... So, I decided to tinker with it and see if I could root it and get it up to a newer Android version. I followed some instructions and got TWRP on it and had it...

Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to root my Samsung SM-T820 tablet. I just noticed a few days ago it's running Android 7 and figure I should see if I can get it up to Android 9 or 10. I found instructions on how to root it. The instructions say to go to sammobile.com and download the...

Ok, so I figured it out. Not from the code above, but I found training on androids website that showed me how to do it and it worked. I now have an app on my phone I created that asks for input and then sends it (to nowhere)

Ok, so I'm a very newbe programmer. I do know a little C++. But I wanted to see if I could create a basic Hello World android app. I found a video on YouTube that I'm trying to follow along. I'm pretty sure my code is identical to his code. But mine won't compile. Here's the code...

On, so that did get me into systemui settings. What I'm trying to do with it is I have a sound profiles app. On my last phone I used a different sound profiles app. The sound profiles in the notification area was always the first item listed. That just makes sense. Well, I just got this...

I'm trying to figure out how to access system ui tuner. If I search the settings for system ui, it finds it, but I can't launch it. I keep reading to hold down the gear icon in the notification area for 10 seconds and it's supposed to add system ui tuner to the settings but that's not working...

So a week ago, I got the g7 power phone which has the 5000 mAh battery in it. It advertises 3 day battery life. A few years ago, I had a different 5000 mAh phone and I could go a week between charges. This phone doesn't go a full 24 hours. When I check battery usage, the highest usage app is...

Can anyone explain how, in the video, the phone was booted into the screen he's in to run the commands against the phone? The screen says "restart" in large font.

Has anyone figured out how to root a Verizon vs996 phone? I read on the internet its maybe possible using the Frankenstein bug but I cant seem to find any detailed guides on how to root my vs996 using the Frankenstein bug. If anyone could point me to detailed instructions, it would be greatly...

I dont know why but every few minutes while listening to music on my v30 vs996, the music will briefly go silent and then stutter then keep playing. Does anyone have any troubleshooting method? I dont want to uninstall all of my apps. Is there a way to just disable a non built in app so I can...

Please elaborate. Please give me some step-by-step on how to root a US version Verzion VS996 LG Phone.

And I guess I don't care as much about unlocking the boot loader as much as just gaining root access.

I have an LG V30 Model VS996 (US model) that I obtained from a Verizon store. Has anyone figured out how to unlock the bootloader and/or obtain root?

Has anyone found a way to hook headphones to it yet while charging? My logic why I want it is my wife and I... She likes dead quiet when sleeping. I like white noise. It's been a small silly bicker for forever. But I want to try to sleep with headphone with whitenoise. I bought headphones...

I found in developer options where I can disable updates. But my phone already downloaded an update and is constantly prompting me to update. I downloaded cache wiper and wiped the cache partition and that didn't fix the problem.

Not sure what you mean here...

I am attempting to flash 2.79. but immediately after, I flash the verifiedbootsignerv3.zip

I just tried the second method in this article https://www.howtogeek.com/192402/why-androids-ota-updates-remove-root-and-how-to-keep-it/ sailfish-n2g47e-factory-00a46e7e.zip Then used flashfire to flash it like the article states. No error but my phone is still prompting and trying to update...

Ok, I downloaded the ota update via Google's webiste. Flashed it with flashfire. It asked if I would like to overwrite the boot and recovery. (said it would most likely fail if I didn't.) I told it ok. It flashed for a while. Rerooted automatically. It booted back up. It didn't update...

Ok, I have fastboot and adb working on my linux mint host. Can someone explain to me how to install ota updates on a rooted pixel phone? I tried installing it via the zip using twrp and that didn't work. It just unrooted my phone so I had to reroot it. I tried using Flashfire and...

I just setup adb in a virtual machine running windows 10 and ran through the windows batch files and received identical errors.

I had a pin on the security that I setup. I was wondering if the security pin was blocking it. I couldn't remove it so I just defaulted the phone and set it up without a pin and same error...

I am attempting to follow instructions on page... https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/ls997vs995h910-dirtysanta-bootloader-t3519410 I am using a Linux host to do this. If I type adb devices, it returns the device ID so my computer sees the phone. I then type in one console...

Well, after getting the phone back reloading the stock image and re-rooting it, I went into developer options and turned off ota updates. So, hopefully I don't get that update... even though root doesn't allow to update. Just causes annoying update prompts.

Obviously I know it's not a hardware issue.... so I know a 100% stock would fix it. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it without putting it to stock.

Crashed and rebooted 15 minutes ago. So, changing cpu back didn't fix.

I just factory resetted it and rooted it a few days ago. I got to thinking I think the rebooting started after I throttled the cpu trying to save battery. I just changed the cpu governor fro ondemand to scheduled. So far it seems to run faster but I'm sure the battery will be worse but we'll...

Does anyone have any ideas how to find why my phone is rebooting randomly? I'll check it periodically and then it will have a bar stating it's starting. Then my launcher loads and no icons and I need to wait a minute. I don't know exactly what's going on. It appears the phone is randomly...

Ok, I am pulling my hair out. I only have about a gig of internal space left. I put in a few different SD cards... two are 32 GB and one is 64 GB. I can only move a few apps to the SD Card and then I get a message stating "Not enough storage space." I know I'm not out of space. I only moved...

Well I got a new one and I can't help myself. I'm a tinkerer. I had to unlock and root it. My first attempt I screwed it up again where I couldn't boot the new phone. I learned my lesson on the last phone. Don't lock the bootloader. I got it back working and is working really nice rooted...

Ok, so I completely screwed up my phone. I tried to unroot it. I followed instructions on the web. They didn't work. Some of the commands failed. So, to attempt to fix it, I was thinking maybe if I re-locked the bootloader, I could reload the original rom. well, I totally screwed up doing...

But I did first attempt kingo root... so it has kingo root apps on it..

Ok, I think I was a little tired when I wrote this thread. I didn't use kingo root to root it. I used depixel8 to unlock the bootloader. Then I followed the instructions on this page to root it... https://www.xda-developers.com/root-is-now-available-for-the-google-pixel-and-pixel-xl/

I just bought this phone a few days ago (Google pixel.). I'm a tinkerer. (My wife is always telling me to stop tinkering with the phone.). First thing I did when I got home is unlock the bootloader using depixel8. After that, I used Kingo root to root the phone. I am not running any custom...

Ok, I looked up how to freeze the updater service and did that. I re-unrooted the phone, rooted it, then froze the updater service. My phone never updated. This morning an app was crashing. Rebooted it and same thing. Stuck on the at&t logo and won't boot. I'm having to re-default it...

Can u explain further how to freeze the updater service?

So what does everyone do about this? My phone pops up the update now or later message 3-4 times a day. I can't block the Ota update. If I ignore it, it prompts constantly.

ok, last night my phone required an att update. It attempted to update and rebooted. Stuck in a boot loop. Couldn't get out of it. Would just sit at the AT&T logo indefinitely. This was with the stock ROM rooted. So, I had to reload stock room unrooted again. Does anyone else have this...

I really like a tidy phone. I like everything in one spot. I know I can create app links on the desktop. But i typically dont create any app links on my desktop. Does anyone know of a way or a replacement app drawer that would allow me to create Web link shortcuts in the app drawer. Even...

This particular crash was the first time it happened on this pre-debloated rom. The previous ones have all been on the stock rom.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The last time, how I loaded it was I installed the factory rom. Then I rooted it. (I paid one click root to do it the right way.) I then found a debloated rom and reimaged it without the bloat. After that, it was debloated but unrooted. So, I rooted...

I've been having a hard time getting my phone to have good battery life and be stable. I've rooted and unrooted it a few times over the last few months. I re-rooted it yesterday and I think I have it setup to where the battery life is really good. My phone has been unplugged for about 6 hours...

Same as the title. I would like AOSP. I believe this would require an unlocked bootloader. I'm pretty sure even with mine rooted, the bootloader is still locked.

You are required to have an ext2, ext3, or ext4 partition as well as a fat32 to link apps to the SD card. I've had this working on previous phones I've owned and it worked really nice.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 that I've recently rooted. I've partitioned an sd card with ext2 and fat32 partitions like a tutorial told me. I then created the scripts with the link2sd app and the app worked there and created the script and rebooted the phone. If I attempt to link an app to the...

I've tried many versions of Odin v1 (not the 3). I'm not sure what the PF2 is. To get it to work, I just defaulted the phone and rerooted it. It's the only way I can get it to work. It's working perfect right now. Only question is how long,

I tried the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...6#post67605246 and I get "FAIL! Model dismatch fail"

I tried using kies. It asks me for my model. I put in SM-G930A. The serial I put in all caps and it tells me my model number I entered is wrong.

I am trying to unroot my phone. I have a US version of G930A. Sammobile has every county except the USA. I found G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary.zip which has AP_G930AUCU1APB5_CL7193387_QB8719495_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar, the BL, CP and CSC file in it. I try to flash it using Odin3, and...

I haven't had the phone a year yet. I really don't believe the battery itself is bad. Almost every situation like this I've seen has been an app draiming the battery... nothing physically wrong with the device.
