*THE TOOL IS UPDATED HERE, HOPEFULLY WILL FIX WHATEVER PROBLEM YOU HAD, WHATEVER! *
Hello and welcome ! , I wanna play a game :silly:
This tool made specially for noobs & lazy guys , as some of us hate working with any command prompt -and ADB/fastboot are command prompts- so they avoid using it , even if they needed to!
now forget that , this tool is the simplest Graphical user interface ADB,
which will grab popular ADB & Fastboot commands in simple combobox to use
Features..!
My tool is featured in XDA-Portal . Tab Here
Main Features
this tool is written in java, which mean the simplicity , the smallest size and the fastest functions!
this tool depends on your PC , it does nothing on it's own , that makes it very small (about 45 kb!) but powerful
Currently this tool is my only active project , so i'm working on updating it ASAP :good:
Features for human being (to use)
my tool does the most popular/important pure ADB & fastboot operations ,
these operations are :
Check if Device connected properly (adb devices).
Android Logcat.
Install a specific APK file(Android Application).
Uninstall apk <package> .
pull a file from your Android Device to your PC.
push a file from your PC to your Android Device.
Look at tasks running in your Android device.
Check your Android Device Memory usage.
Check your Android Device storage usage.
Kill all background processes.
Normal Reboot.
Reboot to recovery mode
Reboot to Download mode (for Samsung Devices).
Reboot to bootloader mode.
Reboot to Fastboot mode.
Unlock Patterns/passowords with two methods
Flash Update.zip.
Flash recovery.img.
Flash boot.img.
Wipe (System,data & cache) before restoring nandroid backup.
Flash system.img.
Flash data.img.
Flash cache.img.
My tool UI is very simple and easy to use , it's just about 300 x 450 JFrame
Requirements..!
You need JRE (the JAVA Runtime Environment ) to run the Tool , you can get it from here .
ADB / Fastboot in your PC (are you kidding?! :cyclops: ).
USB Debugging enabled in your Android Device.
a Human brain which can read the 'How To' in this Thread.
How to & Downloads..!
Download the "ADB For noobs STABLE V3.0.jar" FROM HERE (or in Downloads Tab up) ,
open the downloaded file and set your ADB directory and click Set Data button (you must do that at least once), to make the tool know where's your ADB to use it.
Select the desired operation , and add required directories , then tab Activate , and that's it ! , isn't it Simple ?! :good:
use Reset button to reset text fields

i understand that you mean Setup window at first run .. but this will make the app for windows only , also you just need to run the 1st tool just once , then you can just delete it , but i'll try my best to make it easier , btw , before a day from making this thread , it was so dummy and you should add your adb dir every time to run it , as this pic : http://i.imgur.com/xbwtquz.jpg
btw , what about it's operations , you find any thing bad ? thx very much for your help and report
EDIT: Oh , i think i got an idea .. next update will solve this , also will have more operations , may be fastboot commands too

No need for setup window, use java ini/properties file instead.
new update is out , check the changelog and Screenshot :good:
Now that the Gear has moved from Android to Tizen we need a modded version to work with SDB instead of ADB.

Are you missing a DLL file from your Java Program? I'm getting Java errors stating it can't find the main class of the file. I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit and Java 6 Standard Edition installed.
how can i use it to flash twrp or cwm img file to my phone??
Would be perfect if it had a feature to batch install apks.

the problem is that i don't have any Tizen based device , so , even if i made it support SDB i wouldn't be able to test it lol
Very useful thanks bro. And one thing I pressed thanks button on first post just kidding .

by batch install, he means to select multiple APKs and install them together without having to select one after another and wait for it to install.
A Noobs guide to Galaxy Note 4 Verizon Motherboard Hardware repair and replacement
and Other Samsung Galaxy Note 4 repair ( Att, Tmobile etc ) starting in thread 2 ( user input welcome )
My Overheat Heat and flash problem issues leading to
OEM Motherboard replacement and acquiring ROOT again
OP Note : read the whole guide or for that matter any OP
Thanks to many XDA-Developers forums, if you are not quoted or mentioned here I will add you !!
Device : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Verizon SM-910V this OP ONLY !!!
Code:
[COLOR=Red][B]Your warranty is now void.[/B][/COLOR]
*most likely you don't have a warranty because you broke it, ROM'd it, its old and past warranty anyway !**
So, There is no warranty anyway, not even if you did anything in this thread to it
We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this guide
before flashing it! (thanks @hsbadr)
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at anyone for messing up your device, we will laugh at you
Symptoms : ROMs not flashing/installing , crashing, High heat, low battery life on new battery hardware note working specifically fingerprint.
Problems : digging through many forums 2 years later to root and unlock the bootloader, it took DAYS
Solution: keep track of my progress and make a useful step by step NOOB guide for Everything !
Section 1: Repairs
Then the rest of the sections are for Rooting, Installing TWRP custom recovery, fixing bootloader , and installing ROMS
Section 2: Flashing via ODIN and the correct rootable OEM rom 5.1.1 on a windows PC
section 2a: Flashing via Heimdall on a Linux device --need comments
Section 3: Achieve temporary root to install bootloader fix
Section 4: Use of ADB to (windows and linux ) to copy over bootloader fix
Section 5: install TWRP custom recovery and your first rom
Section 1: Repairs
If you have to replace the motherboard, and you have any other futzy component, might as well order it at this point, your going through pretty much the same process. I am only doing the motherboard, but the cameras and USB board are right there as well on this repair
I have been running a rooted Verizon Galaxy note 4 since Cynogenmod crashed and switched to Lineageos 14 and then 15.
Here is the forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...eo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969
After several suggestions and searches, many users hinted I may be getting a Bad internal memory,
which refuses to write anymore.
So I had to go to Walmart and buy a LG Straight talk phone to use as my daily driver,
Then I ordered a new motherboard from China, 29.00 on Aliexpress.
See OP thread #2 below!! It was not fun searching for it, but I saved $20 to $40 from buying on ebay
What I bought may not be available from this seller, but here is the link. Use a desktop browser, it will show "suggested" other devices...
Code:
[URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/with-Android-System-Original-unlocked-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-N910V-Motherboard-Good-Working-Free-Shipping/32802513232.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.66e04c4dpohrQm[/URL]
When I received it , it was time to look for a repair procedure on YouTube.
Hardware needed: thin shim and 00 size phillips, AND a blank cheap SD card you don't mind losing. It may be unusable after we are done
Cell Phone repair tool kit really helps save your fingernails !
Complete note 4 teardown video:
Code:
[media=youtube]ZND9Q73wjr8[/media]
Just the Motherboard video
Code:
[media=youtube]5KpT755hNpM[/media]
In the second video, you can see the phone booting up as a test to see if you have all the connections correct.
Because it came from china, its a good idea to setup your user and
download the app CPUz before you put all the screws back in,
and check to see if you have a real or fake chipset.
Yaayyyy mine was real . Thanks Aliexpress.
Button it up and do a factory reset (it booted up set up as a no user) so I wanted a fresh install oem with my user.
Section 2: Installing the Correct rootable OEM rom so we can install Anything else.
FIRST check to see if you have the emmc brickbug or you will BRICK it !!
1. Google play store install eMMC Brickbug
If your long number starts with 15xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, YOU are Golden ! if not STOP, get another board ! or you are going to waste time , and get another board !
The Galaxy Note 4 Verizon had a special custom locked bootloader installed after the 4.4.4 release to 5.0.1 and made it very difficult to get
root access to your device.
I saw the notice
DON'T UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER TO ANYTHING AFTER THE LATEST BUILD AS OF 4/19/16
warning about a week to late. So I finished out my 2 year contract and watched the forums.
Seriously noobs, don't update your new motherboard ...
The rom pre-installed on my replacement motherboard was already setup booted to a running 5.0.1 oem rom, I could not root it.. with any method I remember downgrading my 6.x.x to 5.1.1 in one of the many forums listed here at XDA
This one was the one I used back then, and It turned out that is where I started..
Only a Verizon Samsung Galaxy note 4 Developer Edition has the ability to install custom roms, and most likely the motherboard you bought or have is NOT a developer edition
IF you have a eMMC that starts with 15 we can reprogram it a developer edition
Thanks to @hsbadr
Here are most of the downloads we need:
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15720#downloads[/URL]
2. Download Odin, Download TWRP, and Samsung_unlock_n4-fix
3. On your windows PC, create a folder c:/Odin and extract the Odin zip file there, and copy the TWRP image there
4. Download the following OEM root able ROM to your c:/Odin folder
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18880[/URL]
5. Plug your phone into a USB port on your Windows PC
6. Install the necessary drivers if they don't automatically install from Samsung
Code:
[URL]https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows[/URL]
7. Set up your phone for flashing ROM and communicating
Settings - Security - Unknown sources- : check allow
settings - system -about phone - build number : click several times until you activate developer options
settings - system -about phone - developer options : Android Debugging : enable android debug bridge
settings - security - reactivation lock : Turn OFF or you will brick your device ( may vary where this is at . Important to turn off )

settings - system -about phone - developer options : Android Debugging : enable android debug bridge
settings - security - reactivation lock : Turn OFF or you will brick your device ( may vary where this is at . Important to turn off )
Yayy, you now have a rootable device
Section 3 Achieve temporary root to install bootloader fix
In my try to obtain temporary root, I tried every method in all the forums ( go ahead and look and try )
The only 2 programs that reported to work is Kingroot, and Kingoroot. These are APK's that are NOT in the play store
you will have to download them and install them as unknown sources. I was only able to install kingroot . Kingoroot apk would not install
in both my 5.0.1 original on my motherboard, as well as what we just installed 5.1.1 I was unsucessful at obtaining root with these programs
Then I remembered Kingoroot has a windows version that installs on the PC <dangerous dont install yet>
On your PC you will need AVG antivirus to catch the malware ( other antivirus may work but this is what I had ) my PC is windows 7 ultimate
Advanced Users only :Recommend running a virtual machine with windows so as to keep your PC completely malware free. just delete the VM after this process !
This section you will need on your Note 4 from the Play Store : root checker
You will need a throw away SD card
You will need read through section 4 and 5 and get all files and programs there ready to install use and or transfer
0.5 update your AVG
1. With AVG installed on my PC, and my phone connected as a mtp with usb I downloaded and installed Kingoroot for windows.
https://www.kingoapp.com/
NOTE after not being able to install forum recommended kingoroot apk's i dint want wast time install the newest kingoroot apk from the website. Maybe it will work for you. If you do get kingoroot apk to work on your Note 4 let me know.
2. In the install process for kingoroot windows version AVG will quarantine a file.
there will be a couple popups .. close them
when its installed it will open and start talking to your phone.
3. press the root button.
It will take 30 sec to a minute to install some files on your phone and achieve root, there will be a new floating toolbar on the phone. root will disappear after a reboot, but not the resident programs this root is pretty stable, but i was not able to install SuperSUME (paid version ) as recommended in a XDA guide to obtain permanent root for this 5.1.1 rom. If your successful with super SUme with this let me know.
4. Open root checker to verify ! yayy.
5. Cleanup instructions when finished with this guide below
Section 4: Use of ADB to (windows and Linux ) to copy over bootloader fix
1. Your Note4 phone should be running with root, make sure phone is connected
Explanation : ADB is a Google provided tool for the android platform. It communicates with your phones operating system , transfers files , and actuates programs remotely in the background. totally necessary for development of ROM's, TWRP, and programs for every android device
You may or may not know that your android device is running a Linux kernel, with some Linux programs, with custom folders and custom files and settings, and the touch screen is the GUI graphical user interface touch input.
ADB is a command line user interface, when you turned this on in Developer settings, the kernel is listening constantly on the USB com port and some times on the WiFi com port for commands. if you don't need it turn it off, it could be a security hole, but we need it on.
It works great on windows, mac, or Linux varieties
2. Install on your computer
Code:
[URL]https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools[/URL]
If you have linux, your distribution may have a package you can install from your distribution. Then it will be in your path as a command
3. Windows users , extract or install into c:/ADB and add that to your PATH variable if you want to use it all the time as a command
4. Open a command prompt window (search command or cmd , right click open as administrator)
5. If you have ADB folder in your path or are running Linux change directories to the folder where you downloaded the Samsung n4 fix file
6. You should still have root
type
Code:
adb devices
The ADB daemon ( little server program ) will start and return some information.
your phone will have a popup screen and should ask for permission, click allow
again type
Code:
adb devices
7. You should see something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device.
If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the Samsung_unlock_n4-fix to the phone.
type dir ( or ls -al for Linux users ) to verify Samsung_unlock_n4-fix is in your directory
8. Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type or copy and paste the following command:
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
You should see successful output .
If you don't, check your PATH, check if your in the right folder, or make sure samsung_unlock_n4-fix is in your adb folder
9. Activate the unlocker. This requires root and a reboot. After the reboot you have to go and reactivate root in Section 3.3 above
type the following
Code:
adb shell
Congratulations you are now looking at the linux command line interface on your phone . the $ prompt means you are in the shell
10. activate superuser mode ( kind of like administrator in windows but more powerful )
type
Code:
su
then press enter key
YOU SHOUD NOW SEE a # prompt
This means you succeed in root. If you dont see a # you missed a step above somewhere , or your root was unstable and took too long to get to this point,that is why I said read thru this section and get ready..
Ok at this point we have the file we needed transfered, we have root, now we need to upgrade the permissions on the file so #root level of the operating system can use it !
The next command does all that then executes the command to upgrade your phone to developer edition !
Copy and paste the following command series and press enter.the && joins each command
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot and flash the developer code.
You should see some sort of progress in the window.
When done ,unplug the cable and pull the battery to shut down phone.
11. Make sure you have a cheap throwaway SD card installed !
One More Time to unlock the boot loader !! section 3 and 4 short version
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on and make sure its plugged in your PC.
Now repeat the kingoroot PC to gain temp root
open a command prompt or shell
type or copy paste the following to verify its connected
Code:
adb devices
transfer the fix
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/ && a
open the shell on your phone
Code:
adb shell
gain super user rights
Code:
su
unlock the boot loader
same command series
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
You will see your phone do a series of outputs then reboot. when it reboots, disconnect the cable.
If this step is sucessful your phone will keep rebooting. This is NORMAL . after the first or second reboot, pull the battery and pull the sd card, and set the sdcard aside. It will need to be thrown out or repartititioned to be usable. or you can keep it as a memento on your charm bracelet.
Your bootloader is NOW UNLOCKED . keep phone off until you read the next section
Section 5a: install TWRP custom recovery
Currently right now you have 5.1.1 installed with some Chinese malware on your phone and PC,
A custom developer edition and an unlocked boot loader. Lets fix them all.
Turn on phone download mode . <down volume><home><power> then volume up to enter download mode
Open Odin again ( see above )
Connect phone ( look for com and blue bar )
Select AP button, and browse to TWRP file
Press start. when finished phone will restart.
Don't let it boot all the way back up! , pull battery, and install good SD card, and if you read this section you downloaded what you needed for a new ROM onto your sdcard
Turn off the automatic rebooting in the custom tab, DO NOT select the PIT tab
Press start
Once it finishes it will say Success or FAILED
IF it says FAILED start the whole process over! you didn't unlock the bootloader !
If success, Power off the phone with the pull battery method and disconnect your cable
Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP ,
<volume up> <home> <power>.
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP.
Select backup , change to SD card, You can also plug in a memory device into the USB port. If it sees it you will be able to use that for backup space
BACKUP everything . You now have a custom recovery installed, a unlocked bootloader, and a rootable ROM Backed UP !
If you feel you want to do this all over again if you flash the OEM Samsung ROM via Odin by accident like I did, ha ha skip the next steps
Select the backup button, select all the partitions, select the source, where you want to store it.
Name the backup rooted-backup-everything-5.1.1
Select start and go make some coffee or a sandwich. its about 4 gigabytes compression, so it may take about 5 to 10 minutes
Clean up -
uninstall windows kingoroot PC and do a virus check
check for hidden folders and registry entries
Section 5b. Install your first ROM
Cleanup : After your backup WIPE your phone twice
THIS IS TO guarantee, no Kingoroot or kingroot stuff is in the phone !!!
WIPE IT TWICE !!!
Some guides (listed below ) say to adb sideload over a root file , then install an older rom. I haven tried this. Let me know if you did and are successful.
Whatever ROM you use, please post a success story in the reply's. I am interested in how you all do.
I have tried every note 4 ROM and this is the most succesful for me and most stable
I have been using this ROM for a while, and the lineageos 14 version too
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/oreo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969[/URL]
In most all ROMS, you can update the bootloader (TWRP) by TWRP app if rooted
you can update the modem ( a partition that contains original Samsung code to run the cell and wireless ) via ODIN
Roms and patches and other goodies can be installed via TWRP by downloading to your device or transfering them to your sd card
Oem ROMS must be installed via ODIN, and will WIPE all you just accomplished. so unless your selling your device, or giving it to grandma DONT.
If you copied the rom ( usually a zip file ) and the necessary files, and have upgraded your bootloader and modem to the newest,
Now install your ROM, and after your initial setup, come back to TWRP and do a full backup !
every time you try a new rom, and get it set up, do a backup. that way you can switch and test to your hearts desire till you run out of SD memory.
The cool thing is you can backup to an external memory device ! more room !
Follow the directions in the OP of your ROM to install. Enjoy

Update:
Looking for a motherboard for a 910 that's not a v?
Thanks to user @maralexbar I need to update some info
Method 1 use eBay. Find your correct motherboard easily.
Method 2. Save some money use Ali Express ( China )
If you use Ali, and don't find your motherboard on a direct search, keep digging.
I forgot to mention this.
Looking for my Verizon motherboard, I found lots of parts like the USB internal connector etc. But no mobo. I had to go thru the store listing of the seller of the USB connector to find a vendor that had a mobo. Then I tried comparing different vendors. So do some digging. There is a billion people on Ali express selling stuff. Don't give up.
Plus Ali wants happy international buyers. So if you get a bogus item, you get your money back.

Thanks to @ripee
The lineage-17.1 thread is up!
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 [tblte][trlte][trlteduos]
If you don't mind not having a working fingerprint sensor, or audio through the headphone jack, then Q is stable enough for daily use. As always when coming from an older rom version, it is highly recommended not to waste your time dirty flashing and just clean flash.
Q is still a work in progress, so I will still be releasing Pie builds, though maybe not as often. As in years past, once the Q bugs have been fixed up to the current Pie level, I will post about when my last Pie build will be. I will upload it to the Downloads tab located at the top of each page of this thread, and link it in the OP.
Thread moved to : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/le-max-3-eui-5-9-021sr2-diamantik-t3856853
Disclaimer : I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead phones, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about doing this to your device .
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, your data , i will laugh at you.
I am happy to present you , the best EUI 5.9.21S experience for the Le Max 3 ( X850 ) .
Things changed and improved :
-> Launcher now support drawer mode ( ported from 28S)
-> Latest Super Manager , with data usage notification ( also from 28S)
-> Removed many useless applications
-> Improved system audio
-> The quiet sound in headphones is now fixed
Tip: Turn off Dolby Atmos , the speaker, earpiece, and headphones will be way louder .
-> Kernel Tweaks and battery optimization scrips
-> [ Update 13/10 ] Changed the behaviour of the deep sleep.
If you encount a bug , please tell me the details in this thread .
Download : http://bit.ly/2yNoUui
** The " R(Number) " means the release number of the ROM , like R1 - first release
The Deep sleep tuner :
http://bit.ly/2EwB9kU
*Install via TWRP above the current ROM , you don't need to change or wipe nothing .
It really helps with the battery life
How to install :
1. You need to have the bootloader unlocked , and the TWRP installed . ( How to do that ( my post link) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76620374&postcount=7 )
**After unlocking the bootloader , you get a green notification led and the phone not turning on , when you try to boot your phone .
[ THE SOLUTION IS : To boot into TWRP ( volume up and power button ) and from TWRP , tap on Reboot --> System , this will boot the phone normally , currently we can do nothing to solve this :crying: ]
Note : If you come from another ROM , you will need to do an wipe on system , data , cache .
Also please take a backup ,if you have already TWRP , and in case you want to restore back.
2. Download the "Deep sleep tuner" and the " 21S Firmware & Modem by @moto999999 ": https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207488760

( Updated 12/10 )
( Currently using all from this list )

**Tip : Select USA region for showing apps in status bar , not an 3 dot circle
2. Add Away ( Removes adds system-wide)
3. Install button Unlocker ( Allows you to bypass the restriction "screen overlay detected" and allow the permison to apps )
4. AndroiTS GPS Test Pro ( for GPS to indentify you faster , first time after instaling the ROM )
5. Greenify - helps with the battery life
6. Volume Booster by GOODEV - boost even more the headphone sound :laugh:
For those that want to freeze apps , a simple and bug-less list :

You have boot into TWRP , and there is written " Data Encrypted " ?
If yes then skip , and go in TWRP :
--> Tick "do not show again" and the swipe to allow modification. ( if promting )
--> Skip device encryption by clicking "Install" (if the storage size is 0mb or no folder is showing while trying to install, then the device is encrypted. )
--> For solve that, click "Wipe" --> choose to " Format Data " and type " yes " and swipe to format . It's going to wipe EVERYTHING in the internal storage (that's the purpose of device encryption, to prevent unauthorized access to the storage).
--> When completed, go back, click "Reboot" --> "Recovery" , this will restart your recovery (very important, do not reboot the phone into system otherwise you'll start all over. Reboot into recovery, not system).
---> From recovery, click "Install" > and select first the " EUI5.9 firmware and modem " and flash it , after that flash my EUI5.9 , after that you can root , suggest with Magisk
Keep in mind , you are doing all at your own risk !!!
I am not resposible if you get a brick , or lose your data :angel:
For more cleary Your ROM is now instaled by .zip file Used TWRP. If I try normal start phone, system Ask me about password. Watch this on My YT Channel:

I understood
For removing password
--> Boot into TWRP
--> If prompts " device encryption " , tap on "Install"
(if the storage size is 0mb or no folder is showing while trying to install, then the device is encrypted. )
--> Go back in standart TWRP menu , from there click "Wipe" --> choose to " Format Data " and type " yes " and swipe to format . It's going to wipe EVERYTHING in the internal storage (that's the purpose of device encryption, to prevent unauthorized access to the storage).
--> When completed, go back, click "Reboot" --> "Recovery" , this will restart your recovery (very important, do not reboot the phone into system otherwise you'll start all over. Reboot into recovery, not system).
---> Now after TWRP rebooted , click "Install" > and select first the " EUI5.9 firmware and modem " and flash it , after that flash my EUI5.9 , after that you can root , suggest with Magisk .
The password will be removed , is from encrypted data partition

Rom has been installed correctly Everything works great, especially the sound
I installed everything according to your instructions.
Unfortunately, the phone still does not work in LTE B20 mode. On the second phone LTE B20 works without a problem. I can easily check this because in my area LTE is only using B20
Maybe there is another version of the 21S_Firmware _ & _ Modem_x10.zip which supports B20?

I cannot download any app from the play store over mobile network. I mean it doesn't allow me to download and install or update anything from the google store. The system is waiting for WiFi. I'm I doing something wrong?
Bootloader is unlocked, TWRP installed, flashed your rom according to your instruction. No settings were changed yet. Google store settings checked for ability to download over any network. Any suggestions?

Firstly , yes you can freeze the apps what you find in ROM .
You can Freeze this apps :
LeEco account
LeEco setup wizard
MyLeEco
LeTVEcoProvider
ANT HAL Service
Fido ( all 3 apps )
VCalendar
Market Feedback Agent,
Following Feed
Fast Transfer
Effect Service
Crash Handler
EuiTransfer.AppData
Bubbles
and AOSP keyboard , if you have Gboard , or another keyboard .
You don't need necessarily to freeze the apps , just make sure that you have the " Deep sleep tuner " flashed .
From my experince there is not a difference with the apps freezed or not . Maybe about 10 minutes of battery life more .
That is why i have not put an list before :laugh: . Also this list isn't interfering with any apps , or android UI from my experince . The ROM was debloated as much as i was able.
The second problem solution :
Open app " Downloads " --> 3 dot ( right up corner ) --> Settings --> Scroll up , until " No limit " , appears .
Select , and done , now clear cache for play store , and this is all , this should remove this inability
Hi !
All i'm doing is sharing this piece of work of DarkJoker360 ! ALL Credits are on the main Thread .... I'M JUST SHARING !!!
Bugs :
Need further testing , please report your bugs in the original thread
- Audio output switching does not work ( example if you listen to music via speaker and plug in headphones , it does not switch to that output unless you change the rington stat ( from silent or vibrating to Ringing )
- Regular Magisk does not work , Please install magisk from original thread FAQ
What you need :
- A Hi6250 Device ( Check here : https://openkirin.net/devices/ )
- Fully Unlocked Device ( Bootloader AND FRP )
- Firmware Required : EMUI 8.X
- TWRP Recovery
- NotePad++
Download on original Thread Here
Before Flashing this rom !!!
We need to Modifiy the updater script
if you are on stock rom this shouldn't be a problem ( didn't test it ) but anyways , if we flash it right away there is a good chance to get an ERROR 7 Device not compatible or something on these lines , What we have to do is the remove the Assert checking on the updater-script :
-Please Check all the requirments and steps before executing this step , what we are doing is removing device verification and the zip will install no matter what on ANY Device which Can Result on a Hardbrick!
1/ Open The downloaded zip and navigate to Meta-INF/COM/google/android/updater-script
DO NOT OPEN IT USING NOTEPAD , Instead Use NotePad ++ Or some other text editing tool that does not change space Encoding
2/ After that you should see on first line "assert(get prop .....);" Remove all this line till the semi colon and save the file
3/ Copy rom to SD card !
4/ Reboot to recovery , Wipe Data / dalvik / cache
5/ Flash this rom and it should boot up flawlessly
6/ After rom Boots up , Go to setting / Developer options / Default USB configuration and chose file transfer so that your device would be recognized by your PC and other media hubs
GAPPS :
Here (ARM-64 Version 9.0 ) Pico is recommended : Google APPS

Not necessarily , as far as my experience this rom is as stable as the one provided by openkirin, i have to admit that i did not test their omnirom enough to judge .
I found this ROM to be much more stable and usable than the latest OmniROM from OpenKirin. I installed the Stock variant of OpenGApps and it ran flawlessly, even the Pixel Launcher. Nice work!
Hi there,
This is my custom google package for android 11-[R] based on my universal script for dynamic partitions.
What advantages ???
. Fast flashing (less than 3 seconds !!!) : to flash right away after flashing your custom vanilla ROM.
. Clear package : all contents are visible to the user who can manipulate/update on its own !
. Compatible with all [x64] devices ...

Many thanks, working fine
