Question Secret Hidden Codes - Samsung Galaxy A52 5G

For the hell of it, has anyone tried any on the A52 5G? I have tried about 60 and only get 10 to work.. Now this is using the T-Mobile version with Android 12 UI 4.0

Are you trying codes just to try codes? Most people go about it the other way around. They have a problem or task to solve and go from there. Your interest seems a bit strange!

Why is that strange? You either have or haven't. Nothing strange about wanting to know which works and which do not for future diagnostic use. Use to use these all them time, on older phones.. Knowledge is power.. You either have it our you don't

Its far from strange. Some people enjoy learning about technology. Knowing how to use advanced problem solving techniques is a great skill to have in your skillset. I personally have learnt the codes for various devices and now, when someone needs help, I have the ability to diagnose it. Thats a win-win for me and them.

I dont have the device so I can't try it out but as you've discovered, most lists of codes on the internet are a mish-mash of codes that probably don't have anything to do with your device. There are some that are Android codes, some that are Samsung generic codes and some are actually for your device. I tend to copy lists from the internet and merge them into a giant list and then when I have a device, go through checking them off one by one. Then I save the list for future reference. I have a folder in Samsung Notes that stores the huge merged list (so I only have to add new codes to it) and then individual Notes for different devices containing just the working codes. Just watch out for the factory reset code. Someone mislabelled that one once and I had to kiss goodbye to my data.

The one code I use to use a lot. Was the one which had all the important info on the phone.. Which included how many call were made since first activated.. Plus, if you bought a used phone, y0u could find out, if it was refurbished, when it was first activated, call, data history.. On this phone as far as I know that code does not exist, as I have not found it yet.

So why aren't you publishing your list at least with codes with descriptions you consider as "safe" even though most codes with older Samsung devices won't work anymore with newer Samsung phones or with newer Android versions ?

Because if a code on my list doesn't work for whatever reason, I get the complaints and support requests. And God forbid someone ****s up their entire device because they use the wrong list and then I will have days of harassment and blame because of their incompetence. I'm trying to look after my mental health right now, not make it worse.

Just a fair warning: prepare yourself for a lot of people complaining that the code you provided didn't work. I once published a hack for a specific device that some user decided would work on a totally different device and I got days of harassment after they ****ed it all up. Stuff like that can take a huge toll on your mental health if your already in a bad place.

I don't care about a full list of codes for every models and I don't care for myself, but you could at least publish the ones you know they are working with the A52 4G, A52 5G and/or A52S 5G...

A lot of the codes that are listed A52 5G specific do not even work They might have worked depending on your carrier, region or on a earlier version of android.

It reminds me of something I see frequently in Linux forums. I started using Linux the year before Slackware and Debian were released and very few things irritate me more in forums than an experienced user telling a new user to RTFM.

You must need glasses.. You misread the OP.. I was just inquiring if anyone has used any of these coeds.. I do not need help or understanding on how these codes work. I have used them many time for older phones I have had.. This being a new phone and how tech has changed. I was just curious on how these new phones utilize these codes.. I'm sorry your butt hurt, but life will go on.

An unfortunate and condescending response considering that a that good part of this site is APKs redistributed or modified without permission in ROMs or for those in regions arbitrarily without access to the latest and greatest apps.
Thankfully I know how to look up modifying my build.props to get it installed, I was just hoping to avoid the hassle by finding someone helpful out there.
I guess that as is increasingly the case one will have to go and help themselves.

DigitalMD’s response was the correct one. There was nothing unfortunate or condescending about it.
He went to the trouble to locate the author’s web page in an effort to help you.
As far as developers incorporating apks in their roms, all of them secure permissions before using someone else’s work

If you expect people to break rules and pirate stuff because you are too lazy, then Yeah off you go.
Impressive ...
I posted a response to the accusations to piracy and laziness, and a suggestion that maybe the reason why many users are here is to run unsupported stuff on their phone. I also stated that to suggest that all those HTC/Sony/Sammy variant ROMs are done with the full permission of the manufactures is also patently false.
My post got deleted and I have 6 months of infraction points ...
XDA really has gone down the toilet.
Anyway, the important piece of information that I posted is that DroidDia runs fine on at least two unsupported devices (Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Note) ... I extracted the APK from a Nexus One and installed directly.
Feel free to abuse me again for as long as this post remains ...
As apparently it is OK
Not that I expect this post to last much longer than the last one
Hmm.. interesting debate you guys are having in here. Here is how this is supposed to work:
MaxJavi, believe it or not, is not in fact asking for warez at all since the app is free (just restricted in its distribution due to Market's policies). Reposting the apk needs to be done with the developer's permissions but as it is not a paid app nor does it use any kind of licensing model such as Swype, it should be ok to post under our rules (of course, unless the IP owner complaints, in which case it has to be taken down).
On the other side of the coin, the answer provided to him was neither wrong, unfortunate, or condescending. It was in fact 100% correct. @MaxJavi, you were provided with the correct answer and your response to a helpful post (not too many of these around these days) was far more condescending, inflammatory, and filled with disdain than what you claim the other response was. A simple "thanks for the response" even if it would have meant for you to have to go to Google for 15 seconds to find the apk or ask the dev if you could have it would have been the correct venue. The infraction that you received was for the attitude you had towards someone simply taking the time to reply to you in a courteous manner, who even went as far as searching for the company in Google and posting a link for you to contact them.
I hope the OP doesn't mind, but I am closing this thread now as answers have been provided.
Thread closed.

Click on your phone info.
Write down the last 3 digits if your build version.
If it is MJ7 enjoy your Samsung iphone or take the risk of Chinese infiltration with vroot.
If its anything else, type go to GOOGLE.COM and type in those 3 letters followed by the word "Root".
Good luck!
Doesn't get much simpler than that.. :sly:

ALL Knoxed Up!
Ok So my build version is MJ7.
Is it unlockable through the ROM/software here on XDA or any other reliable ROM/sofware?
Please can you guys list the instructions or a link that tells me A to Z what to do. Thanks!

You can't root using a reliable technique, and even if you root you can't install custom ROMs at the moment. Safestrap may eventually become possible.

Just to make sure, this S4 MJ7 Verizon cant be unlocked to run on Tmobile using a reliable method?
Sorry for acting like a total newb. And many thanks.
I have MJ7 also and I've looked at root alternatives and it's risky at best. Let me know if you find a less risky way.

The I545 is not simlocked, which means that you can run any carrier's SIM. There are SEVERAL threads here that explain what you need to do to run an I545 on T-Mobile. Unfortunately, the search function is broken yet again, but there is NO excuse for starting another thread on a topic that has been covered several times before.
I know, you can't tell, but this is a very frequently asked and answered question.

Nope i tried tmobile sim doesnt work
I love this website, but I still haven't used it once because I search through threads always find answers like this. Its truly amazing how the website owners have sections for different versions and different hardware. But constant trolling by veteran users is common.
This(android) is an open source project but that doesnt mean every one here knows what people are talking about. I get discouraged posts like the one above^^. I have been using android since it came out on G1 and still havent rooted any of my devices YET. This time I actually thought I would but you know what **** this.
Anyways last attempt? Can my device be RELIABLY(trusted) carrier unlocked so I can use it on Tmobile. Thanks.
Also is there a thread where I can lookup jargon/lingo/acronyms specific to this site/genre? Link please.

Perhaps you could post on one of the T-Mobile threads here and explain what "doesn't work" means, as they may be able to help you.
Non-Verizon SIMs work for me, but I'm not using a SIM from some other US carrier.

By the way, the forums are seperated by device and carrier because that's how the software works, it's different per device and the carrier that device uses. This is a site for developers.

Sorry if you thinking this is "trolling by a veteran user".
First, you need to understand: the i545 is not SIM locked. Any SIM will work.
However, there's some question as to whether or not that SIM will allow other US carriers to work. Mine works with a SIM that gives me AT&T data. (It's from a European carrier.)
Here's how you can answer your question. First, look at the top of this window.
There's a box on the top reading "Search this forum".
I entered "tmobile" there, then got the following threads:

Sorry. Hit send too early..
Basic steps are to get a sim.
Then go and see if it picked ip the APN settings. If not you should be able to create a new APN and put in the values manually. Search on xda for the values
Finally. Theres a thread in xda that explains how to download a phone info app. Which will allow you to set the phone radio to LTE/GSM.
last thing you want to check is that you can do wifi, sms, mms, voice mail, etc.

A lot of people do make things for themselves, I run my own crappy builds all the time as I'm learning. Of course the more experienced developers release stable work for the public. Regardless, the purpose of the site isn't to release software for the "everyday android user".
It's about the journey not the end result.
I really can't explain the purpose of this site any better than this post by Kyphur:
"I think what a lot of people forget is that this is not a "make my phone neat & kewl" place.
As implied by the name this is technically a Developers forum/community.
Now what does that mean? Well first off it means that there is an expectation that if you are here then you want to customize your device but rather than just installing something that someone packaged you want to understand how it works and maybe even enhance it yourself.
When I first came here with a Blue Angel it was a different environment. PDA Phones were not embraced by the general public because of the expense and complexity (I paid over $400 for my BA). A $400 phone 4 years ago was expensive, today the Tilt is $300 after rebates but with inflation & the rise in the cost of other devices and the fact that there are other sources out there giving them away for $150 our neat bit of kit has become popular with mainstream users.
Now we have a flood of new users who are asking not "How can I do this myself" but more like "Give me the quick fix" without caring to understand the process. See if you read the threads then you get to experience the learning process, you see how the issues were investigated and confirmed. Then you get to watch the different attempts at resolution and learn why some failed while others worked. That is called Development.
The NooB backlash is coming from users who have walked in the development shoes and is directed mainly at those who don't care for the journey but just want the end result or destination.
As a Development Forum we are just as much (if not more) about the journey. I've read so many comments like "I don't have time to read all of the threads" or "I don't care how it works, just that it does". These very statements are contrary to the heart & soul of XDA-Devs and that is why the backlash is so strong.
Let me be very clear on this: IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.
XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.
Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.
You ask us to understand your position. Well if you want to benefit from our experience and time then I think it is only fair that you understand our position."

I ddnt mean to be like rude or anything guys. So sorry for acting like that.
Now honestly i Google about android rooting/self installin the new version and XDA comes up all the time, so I've known about website long time ago and I see that there are like 100s of posts a minute mostly by total newbs. I'm newbie to android and XDA but like actually do wanna learn this stuff. Thats why I even asked if there are threads/links to where I can brush up beginner stuff so I then if I stll have any issues I can ask the question in a technical manner or even understand different threads that have already answered the question(s) that I have.
As for developer part you guys are programmers and hackers and its your hobby and its pretty cool you do this stuff on daily basis, but for me that is too far ahead.
Now I have another device unlocked NExus S i got from tmobile back in 2011, I wanna update it to latest OS KitKat. I will now look up XDA all over myself, let you know how it goes.:laugh: Hopefully it will work out.
Thanks again.
EDIT: P.S. the first day i posted search wasnt working. Or maybe I ddnt search the right sections. I'll do XDA search through Google now

I didn't think you were being a rude, but I just thought I would share with you post that explains the purpose of XDA very well. It might seem harsh because it's out of context & was originally directed at some a$$hole.
We were all newbs here, I'm no programmer I just like learning code because I like learning how all of this stuff works. I'm glad you want to start learning to. All I did in the beginning was google search "rooting" and a bunch of write-ups & video's came up that taught me a lot.
I think this all falls under off topic this is really not the place for senior members to try b!+ch slap junior members, staying on topic is how this site operates

[Q] Variant based forums

Being a Member of XDA for a while now I recall in the past on different models that XDA use to create sub-forums for Carrier Variants. I.E. Verizon, Sprint, GSM based. This was helpful for the noobs and Rom creators in making sure that Noobs didn't flash the incorrect Rom or Recovery.
Looking at the HTC One Max forums there occasionally is this confusion as members will post a general variant specific issues and a novice not knowing the difference would unintentionally use it thinking it applied to their device. Some Devs don't identify there Roms or indicate a variant which contributes to the issue.
I think it would be very beneficial for development on this device to have Variant based sub forums. Additionally having variant based sub-forums will help identify Underdeveloped devices.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm sure when we get way more than 3 threads in original and 3 in development they will look at dividing the Max forum. Until then we need anyone that posts anything to ensure they identify what model it will work on. I believe most of the development done for us thus far does not identify which model it works for because it works across all (in one form or another).
To be honest most if not all of the issues people have had thus far is because they are not searching and reading to understand something before they do it. I guarantee a dev or someone with knowledge will try to help the best they can. BUT no one wants to help someone that doesn't try to help themselves by understanding what they are doing first.
If anyone notices that some development is device specific and it is not labeled as such then ping the dev and ask that they identify it appropriately. And if anyone feels strongly enough that something is not labeled or mislabeled that could end up causing issues with someone's device then AFTER ASKING THE OP to update feel free to contact one of our mods to correct or close the thread until it is adjusted. Many hands make light work...

I can see the point as well. But it will be a while before the forums are divided if at all. I said "until then" because we all need to work together now to police the threads to make sure things are made clear if they are not.

I know coming from the Motorola Droid HD forums that the impact of not separating them is lots of "Learning Experiences". I am quite learned in the rooting/bootlocker experience and even I was confused by the variants in that forum. I got it sorted out but it took longer then is should have.
I am in the process of learning java and android development and I plan on properly labeling my threads and apps. Oh and Blender for Custom Boot Animations. I have a Plan for A Doctor Who based Animation.
Plus I like tidiness and organization. Makes things more efficient.
How do I tell which version of the One Max I have?
It's one of the 32 gig versions, it's gsm and works on United states ATT. baseband version is 4T,27.3218.14_10.33C.1718.01L Software number says 3.15.1540.1 I think it might be the Hong Kong or British one, but it's been quite confusing trying to figure out which is which. I bought it off Amazon, so I know there's a chance that the software has been "improved' a bit.
Thanks for any help-I did try to search on it, but wasn't finding anything with useful info for me, or possibly I just don't know where to look. It's been some few years since I had an HTC..I bought the original G1 on opening day
Any help, or even just a point in the right direction would be most appreciated. I'd like to get this sucker rooted and get rid of the crapware as soon as possible

hey i was wondering if you possibly give us some insight to your methods, here in this thread? Possibly some steps, apps, youtube links? Would love to help spread the knowledge!
Well it really just vary's from the type of phone you have, Getting the MSL without root is a pain, however once rooted, you are than able to control anything in the phone i.e what's locked and unlocked. Know and understand that the letters ending after the base model numbers determine a big factor, such as G955UF is a unlocked world version of the 7 plus, it doesn't use the USA version of snap dragon. When the port was created and or root process it it was built off a certan type of model, few adjustments may be needed, i suggest checking out Android Studios, it comes with android dev packaging to help you kick start.
Download:
Sampwnd all neccesary files from the thread D
Download both odins
and download ADB and fast boot.
I will say this, with odin once you put the 4 files in, you need to boot into download moad, once you see the blue screen pop up then plug in your phone and if your mac you type ADB if your windows its ./ADB youll know if it connected or not.
It's pretty simple, I just think alot of people get stuck, so I am willing to hel.

And stuck i definitely am. I now have root so what would be your next step in unlocking? Can you suggest a protocol or website or tools that are used?
I understand its easy to buy an unlock but i would really love to learn this process.

Firstly, congratulations on root.
Give "MSL Code Finder" a search within the play store, root only apps are generally a good area to search within, I couldn't throw a name on one, as my time with development on the G955U is pretty much over, i'm on to some other brands to provide more attention to. However should you need any further assistance, i can use teamviewer to connect and help you out.

I am interested in rooting my first Android phone after switching from an iPhone for almost ten years, aside from a Note 3 that I had for a few months. I have the S8+ and am pretty technically inclined, although I had a Note 3, I bricked it during my learning experience. I just don't trust myself to do it correctly at this point, I absolutely need to be able to use the app "Amazon Flex" and I am told there is way to hide the root, even though they use a certain method but I am understanding have been told that there are other options available for me to hide the root from this app. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to learn. I appreciate your time and look forward your response. I have the SM-G955U

I also have that smg955u. Is that Sprint network you're on
Hey watch out for this guy, everyone. He lives in my hometown and he's really shady. He'll hop on TeamViewer and rummage through your devices and networks.
He sold me a phone with an unpaid balance and told me he could unlock it quickly through TeamViewer. After 3 days (about 12 total hours spent) spent, I eventually told him no thanks. He got very offended and started acting weird.. Even told me he had hacked my network through my television? Haha, anyway, be careful with this guy.
PS. Just in case he's moved to a different name, he uses a strange syntax in his sentences.. There's just something off about it. Its how I was able to recognize him on here.
PPS. I have his name and location if anyone else has been burnt by this guy.

I have no idea what he is talking about nor have I even spoke to him on here. Requesting a removal, and moved to a different section should he want to escalate. This is or was a free service that i DO in my free time to help people.

Not sure yet, I've been stuck on a phone that I'm trying to get out of the way, although I've been considering just moving on to the V60 as I feel I may be heading toward a dead end on the other phone.
News to come, though.
Any updates @haise.zero ? Bought this beauty for myself but im missing out on the EU Firmware :/
Shizuku and an activity launcher that leverages shizuku to perform privileged launches can launch a hidden menu activity that allows you to change the model number.
You might be able to flash to something else with the same OPID that way.
Edit: more information later when I'm on my computer and can provide actual details.

Hasn't still be a way to update the ATT v60 or to cross flash? I think I can't wait anymore but to trade it for another device or sell it off since I'm stuck on June 2020 update

So would that be something like the WTF! method to change the model for the v30? My V30 was a sprint but I was able to change it to the US998 model with that method, thus allowing me to use the custom ROMS for that model. Could something like that be possible for this phone?

I'm not familiar with the V30 or its process, but the process I mentioned would be the way to change models and crossflash over to a less restricted model version to allow easier downgrades and modifications, yeah. It'd (probably) let you work with it through LGUP after a model name change and an OP partition swap

I haven't done much of anything lately. Life has been taking up all of my time.
I ordered new computer parts so that I can finally upgrade to a Ryzen build (been running an FX processor for forever now) and get some real development done. Also hoping for some more spare time soon.
I'll be working on a ROM coupled with a custom recovery primarily but I do understand the importance of needing more people to unlock their devices. This is also something I'm still working on.
My previous partner Codeon doesn't have a V60 nor the time to work on it if he did have one anyways so it's mostly just been me lately and even I haven't done much for a while now.
Hoping I can change that. I'm trying to dedicate my time today to this phone, but as far as getting EDL to work with us without that god damn proprietary GSM box crap, it's just out of my league and I don't understand it. I do know of someone who may be able to help with that and I'll be reaching out to see if they can lend a hand or not.
Sorry for things going so slowly. Thank you for your patience, guys, especially because I know it's running thin right now.
Please update us.

No problem. But I have sold that AT&T crap and I'm hoping to get another v60 later in the future when things gets better and developments starts. So for now, I'm a owner of galaxy note 10 plus. I hope you guys find a way soon
