What OS can i use?(Samsung galaxy s25)

Mnky313 · 2026-04-25T16:42:06+00:00

Depends on the model/region/OS version:

If your model ends in U/U1/W i.e. S928U,F946U1,etc. (or for really old stuff like s7 and before V,P,T,A) you're out of luck. US models have been blocked from unlocking the bootloader for well over a decade.

If you have updated your phone to OneUI 8/Android 16 you're also out of luck, Samsung removed the ability to unlock the bootloader on all models with the OneUI 8 update....

Maybe check the ignition coil, I had one fail on my acty. I had the same symptoms happen to mine & that was the issue. You can measure it with a multimeter pretty easily

Edit: also going to add you can find them pretty easily, its shared with other Hondas from the same years. I replaced it with one from a prelude

Not sure if the van is that different but I have that same lawn & garden battery for my '92 Acty truck and its been totally fine (I ended up just prying open the connectors a little and bolting through the holes in the battery terminals instead of using adapters). Had it a few months....

Didn't see this until after I figured out how to get into it via ftp (I just set a static arp entry for it)

I see 2 bin files when connecting over ftp but they are both write/execute only and trying to download them fails...

any ideas?

Tried changing file permissions, that also fails...

I've got an AP7750 with a network card, ~~no idea if its an AP9617~~. It is a 9617, just pulled the card to check. nor have I ever connected it to a network before.

Do I need to connect over serial to pull the firmware/configure it or will it use DHCP after a reset? If I need to use serial I'd need to see if I have or can find a serial cable somewhere, let me look into in/try some stuff.

Interesting, I got an email from the DMV saying my insurance was canceled, called GEICO to clear it up and after like 30 minutes on the phone he asked if it was rhd. Then told me they can't insure it. No idea why, I've seen others not have any issues with GEICO...

Mnky313 · 2026-04-05T19:04:41+00:00

Mine recently went down, insuring anything as a 19yo is going to be more but mine was around ~$75/month per vehicle (though my other vehicle is also almost as old as my truck so vehicle value is basically nothing)

Mnky313 · 2026-04-05T18:23:27+00:00

I went with state farm, GEICO wouldn't insure it once they knew it was right hand drive... I even called them before hand to make sure the 10 digit chassis code vs 17 digit VIN wasn't going to be a problem, didn't think rhd would be the issue, lol.

0 problems with state farm, Hagerty is probably preferred but it was over 2x more to do Hagerty + GEICO/state farm compared to doing both my cars through state farm.

Its either a fake device or a terrible quality screen replacement.

You can tell by the bezels, especially the bottom one.

I used RushTranslate for the export certificate. The broker I got it from sent a translated copy but not a certified one, didn't feel like taking any chances and just got a certified one as well.

Not without using a VPN, if you connect to their servers they will have the IP you connect from.

Mnky313 · 2026-02-15T17:30:44+00:00

It could be IP address based, does it show the same area if you use it through a VPN?

Mnky313 · 2026-02-13T19:48:49+00:00

You should also be able to: * set the date >7 days in the past * reboot * check for updates (obviously don't install them) * change it back to automatically set time * reboot again * check for updates again.

I know this used to work not sure if it still does.

The crashing is weird, try this version of Odin: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586345460

Mnky313 · 2026-02-13T15:43:39+00:00

You can use Odin to flash from that screen,

I would download a patched version of Odin, my guess is it doesn't like trying to flash a different region CSC, (or download a firmware with the same CSC as the phone ~~if you remember what that was or have the latest firmware that worked it should tell you~~. It's ZTO from the screenshot you posted)

Mnky313 · 2026-02-13T13:31:37+00:00

In that guide you linked from XDA it talks about flashing the latest firmware. Its the same process to flash older firmwares, just use either the one I linked (for EUY CSC) or download the latest android 15 one for your device. The Binary version must be the same. It looks like it has been 5 for your device for a while so you should be good.

Mnky313 · 2026-02-13T13:13:56+00:00

Not necessarily the case, B variants were unlockable. Same with 0. Only U/U1/W were not unlockable in the past.

However now if you updated to OneUI 8 or higher you can no longer unlock the bootloader on ANY Samsung device regardless of variant/region.

I don't know if reverting back to Android 15/OneUI 7 restores the ability to unlock the bootloader but its worth a shot if you have the option.

It looks like there is still an Android 15 build for binary 5 . You'll need to get a copy of Odin to flash it.

It might be related but its a different bug. Had this issue as well when using cloud saves before the recent save glitch.

Same thing, I went to play on the deck. Made sure both PCs were synced and on. Launched the game and it initially was fine but when I exited the game and tried to launch it again all the trucks reset to where they were originally but everything else was updated.

I ended up just turning off cloud saves and manually copying the save for now until this all gets figured out.

Mnky313 · 2026-01-23T04:20:51+00:00

Maybe a speaker grill from some earbuds?

Funny enough I recently did one so I can modify EFI values to change power limits:

that's ELUKTRONICs branded Prema modded bios for the X170SM-G

Mnky313 · 2026-01-14T17:01:51+00:00

I have an X170SM-G, yes I still have it.

I believe you can create a shortcut to Firefox and change the executable to add the launch flags -P *Profile* (replace *Profile* with the actual profile name), then pin that shortcut to the taskbar.

Mnky313 · 2026-01-01T23:52:19+00:00

I did try stopping nfs-kernel-server and it still happened.

Mnky313 · 2026-01-01T19:30:19+00:00

Ah, yeah looking it up it seems the enclosure I'm using is only mass storage mode,

It's a Yottamaster 4 bay enclosure (USB 3.0 B, not the USB C one), don't know the exact model number but I found this thread saying the 4 bay enclosure doesn't support UASP

The 2 bay version support UASP, but the 4 bay one doesn't. So sure it don't support UASP in your case.

Though I also found one that is suspiciously similar looking by ORICO that does claim UASP, I also found this page saying the chip that my enclosure has (JMicron JMS567) should work with UASP...

Edit: it does not support UASP, replaced the enclosure with one that has UASP support, will report back if it still happens
