Hello everybody,
I had a bit too many drinks with my gf and set a new password for my phone and then we went out and i thought i lost my phone even though it was all the time at home so i locked it with find my phone (its a SAmsung galaxy s8 plus) so i locked it and i forgot what i set as my password. So was wondering is there any possible way to make the phone workable? like i thought maybe installing some custom rom or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi dear friends
I'm facing a problem and i will be grateful if you help me.
I have xperia z5 (code e6633) .From few years ago i was installed custom rom on it ,and lately i gave it to flash its main rom to it ,but they flashed another z5 rom to it (exactly the rom of e6683).
After that i gave my phone to someone else to flash it , and he told me that phone may brick and not work .He said its 50 50.
What's your opinion guys?
Is the chance of my phone not fixed really that high?!
What should i do?
Thanks.

Hi folks!
Recently I've bought a p40 pro clone that is driving me crazy.
I can't barely use it as all the tweaks to make it look like a better phone are provoking some apps to fail. The about phone screen says that is a p40pro (without spaces), the CPU is a MT6799 when in reality is a MT6580, 12Gb of RAM but is 1Gb, Android 10.1 but it's 5.1, hahaha, it can't be more fake, but no regrets, I have what I've paid for!!!.
My initial idea with this crappy thing was to upgrade the android version to 6.x, but everything is pretty tough, at least with my little knowledge in custom roms, kernel etc.
First of all I'm not able to install TWRP on it. I can't find or make a working version:
I thought that this model was pretty similar and I tried with the TWRP included on the thread about a p40pro+, but the touchscreen after entering recovery was somehow inverted and seemed laggy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/alps-clone-p40-pro-wish-com.4211591/
With the one at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unknown-china-device-p40-pro.4200617/post-85249887 it don't work too.
Finally I came to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ediatek-mt67xx-64bit-new-32bit-phone.3681861/ and I managed to make a custom TWRP which initially seemed to work (the touchscreen was fine) but the sd card data was unavailable, I was like missing but if I reboot the mobile it properly boot. Maybe because I choose an incompatible model to port from.
So, I'm running out of ideas, please can someone give me a hand on that super ultra fake thing?
Here is the full rom dump, preloader and recovery:
https://mega.nz/file/2M80XY7C#0kw7qVQ5498tDrt4UdUNq49lANIO3RvS73ct6DoCPO0
I'll really appreciate any suggestion on getting a new rom for this phone, and obviously how to get twrp on it, root, and if possible a rom which makes this fakephone at least useable.
Zillions of thanks in advance!!! Take care!

Hello everyone,
please move my post if this is the wrong place to go. I am working in a small IT-Company which shortly is going to get rid of 400 Tablets (TERRA / Wortmann Modell 1004 1005 and 1006). I am trying to rescue thise tablets, flash those and donate them. I was searching like all day for firmwares and could absolutley not find anything. I tried also an erasure software which told me that those tablets are rooted (so maybe I was not the only one trying to check for options). I was thinking to also pay someone to get those tablets up and running again to send them to India or Ukraine. Anyone knows what we could do about them, would offer support or point us into the right direction?
Cheers

I have been using a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. I just learned recently that it does not get security updates anymore, and I am shocked and appalled. What can I do to update the OS on it and get the latest security updates?
Would following this guide be a way do that? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...alaxy-s7-herolte-stock-to-android-13.4201187/
Note: I'm a programmer by trade and fairly technical, I just know nothing about phones.
Thanks.

Try a custom ROM, because Samsung stopped the update support for Galaxy S7
You could find anything you want in the modding section, but the Exynos variant is limited in it.
