The Patch Date is Jan 12, 2017.

I noticed that it "IS" possible to root this device if it has the June update patch from 2016 using the ENG BOOT. I also noticed that you will brick the version i have if you try to use the ENG BOOT on it.

Was wondering if anyone knows what exactly samsung / verizon changed to prevent the ENG BOOT from working on the 2017 patch and if there is a way around it, or if they know of another way to root the Jan 2017 patch for this device?

Maybe specify your model and country so maybe someone has the firmware you need uploaded somewhere. Otherwise it is hard to help you.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
You can install latest factory firmware for your model with Samsung Smart Switch. It will download directly from Samsung servers at full speed and install it on your phone. It's the simplest, fastest way to go back to stock if you don't already have firmware file.

Stock ROM's for the G920W8 can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=38887

Unzip and flash with Odin using Bootloader mode.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @hm@d@l@me:
why do i have to flash it using bootloader mode?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
There's no other way to do that?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiViD:
Because Odin doesn't work outside bootloader mode. If you don't know what you are doing, have someone more experienced reload the software onto the device.

Hello!

I have the following problem and after countless searches over many forums I ended up finding no answer:

About 4-5 months ago my P5100 started to restart itself after 1 or 2 minutes of functioning properly (restarts even faster if i try to connect over Wi-Fi or install an app). I thought that if I leave it for a while everything will be ok, it wasn't the case so I started trying to fix it. Before I go on I mention that my P5100 was rooted , running CWM version 5.5 and CM10(10.1.3), i haven't messed with the rom, recovery, firmware etc. for more that one year and a half so it started all of a sudden. I tried everything starting from simply updating the CM version to ADB commands and finally flashing back to the stock firmware with Odin. The wipe data/factory reset didn't work neither in recovery nor commands, I even tried to delete everything via Internal Storage in my pc through USB. Every time it reverts itself to the point it was left before although everything seemed to work just fine no errors or so. It doesen't remember after reboot any setting I made or any app that i installed(if I manage to install one) it is like i didn't do anything at all to it. :crying:

Many thanks for taking your time to read my thread and maybe help me:laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevinchristopherson:
Well I gave up my lg v20 to go back to the s7 (tmobile). It was an impulse trade. Now I've regretted it because of the lack of development in the areas of roms, themes, locked bootloader, and such. MY question is this, what's your opinion of the s8 and s8+..? Are they going to go down in flames or will there be a resurgence of interest in samsung again?

Your answers will help me decide whether to get one right off the bat or wait for another flagship device that's coming out in the next couple of months.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] durandetto:
With Samsung's current path to block root I doubt there will be much development at least not for a while. I haven't rooted my last 3 phones (note 5&7 v20), because it's become such a hassle anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevinchristopherson:
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I was wondering if the s8 was going to have a locked bootloader. That'll make my decision easily.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] durandetto:
I would almost put money on the bootloader being locked. Not saying one of the devs here won't get around it, but it could take some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Highspeed123:
Development is becoming more difficult on all phones not just Samsung. Google are making things more difficult for developers. The days of ROM and Kernel development reached it's peak years back and has been in decline ever since. Especially because important features rely on having a locked down device. Also, one of the reasons people developed custom software is to add more features, many of which are part of the standard package when buying a new phone these days.

If you want flexibility and enjoy the development on XDA then Oneplus are your best choice. They are getting most of the attention now. It's the new Nexus. I'll get an S8 and if I get bored, I'll sell and get the next Oneplus 4 or whatever it'll be called. So I can play. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
Get an international, word is the Snapdragons will have locked bootloaders across the board in the same fashion as the Note 7. Time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] charchit46:
Hoping they will be same as S7/S7 Edge in terms of dev support as both S8 and S8+ will run on Exynos Chip Worlwide other than US
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jpinks:
I really hope Samsung will offer unlocked phones like LG is offering if you buy direct. I buy my phones so I want to root and keep it as current as possible. Thats the biggest complaint I have on my Note 4 is the way ATT/Samsung update its ridiculous. I mean over a year wait for the last android update for Note 4. I would buy a Stock Android S8 or S8+ and pay a small premium if thats what it took.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] klm2349:
Sounds that way

Samsung has supposedly confirmed this.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CAL7:
I've looked all over for this, but no luck. Would you give me a link to buy (direct) an unlocked or unlockable G6? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevinchristopherson:
I'm still holding out, haven't thrown my s7 away just yet, to get back into the v20. so I'll just keep waiting for the word on the G6 or the s8+ ,, Hopefully something happens and they unlock that boot-loader.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SOCOM-HERO:
I feel like rooting and ROMing is dead. You have to go through a massive hassle now to even get your hands on a phone that allows it. A real shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
It appears now like the phone may be reporting unlocked but isn't actually unlocking. Too soon to tell on that but it wouldn't be the first time for LG. It's old advice but more relevant by the day, if root is important do not buy in until it's proven.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] force70:
Easy...just buy a exynos version, no locked BL (at least the note 7 and s7 edge arent locked).

No point in buying snapdragon based sammy products now as it seems they are locking them down.

[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
So I was working on an LG L90 (D415) which is now off to repair because it looks like the SIM card reader is non-functional. I have a LG L70 (LGMS323) which hasn't been touched in couple of years, and I was curious, can this device have custom ROMs installed on it too? For instance, I'd like to install CM13 (in this case, Lineage OS 13) but would it even be possible? I am a bit confused as well as it looks like the LG L70 is basically the Metro PCS version of the LG L90, correct? So would essentially the same ROMs that worked on the LG L90 work on the LG L70?
[LG Optimus L90] Warimation:
Go to lineage os download page.. You havê lineage 14.1 official for your l70 (w5)
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
Woah, that's crazy, so there is no official variant of lineage OS for the L90, but there is one for this L70, lol that's kind of crazy because I thought the L70 was superior (at least in total amount of people using the device).
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
So I was able to root the device, and install Lineage OS 14.1! Though, I am running into an issue: I thought with Android 7.1.1 we were now able to use MicroSD cards as internal storage, where all apps can be installed to the SD card, correct? I for some reason can only move very few apps to the MicroSD card, and the rest are in internal storage, and as you can imagine, my internal storage is now absolutely full. Any idea if there is anyway to fix this? Or would using an alternative option like Linked2SD be my best option?
[LG Optimus L90] Warimation:
Dont know.. Never did that..
[LG Optimus L90] Cisco408ca:
I updated my friends twrp to 3.0.3 and flashed the latest rom from lineage for the lg l70 msm323 phone but now when i reboot im stuck in a boot loop . Any info on how you did yours ? I upgraded it from CM 13 .

Hello everyone, I'm new in the Android world.

I have been trying to unlock my bootloader with the sticky guide, but it doesnt work for some reason.

In the cmd (after i got into the "Device locked" screen) it gives me an error and i dont know how to fix it.

I would like to see a full working 2k17 guide for how to unlock bootloader for a Huawei P7 running android 5.1.1 with Emui 3.1

Hope someone can help me.

Does it appear right after entering fastboot mode?
[Huawei Ascend P7] CalloDK:
Im getting into fastboot without problem, but when i try to unlock it gives me the (Failed to write) error? Maybe its the guide that doesnt work
[Huawei Ascend P7] RangerP7:

Did you install your driver (HiSuite)

[Huawei Ascend P7] usb2:
if you have emui 3.1 you can't flash a kernel for emui 3.0

a question: is your bootloader unlocked? (in fastmode under the green robot there is written in red letters phone unlocked)

EDIT: in your first post you write that the phone is locked...so you need an unlock code from huawei site in order to unlock bootloader, otherwise you will never be able to flash kernel or recovery

use this guide https://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-root-huawei-p7-t3311424

[Huawei Ascend P7] CalloDK:
It says in the guide that it will create a shortcut on the desktop, otherwise i dont know how to continue
[Huawei Ascend P7] RangerP7:
You don't need any shortcut

Just go to the path, you installed it via cmd

How did you get it work in your first post?
[Huawei Ascend P7] CalloDK:
I didnt set a path, it just got installed.

I used another cmd, where i was just going to open it and run it

I have a WD 4tb my passport external hard drive that has been giving problems with the shield tv ever since i bought. I bought it specifically for the shield as an internal storage device. ill format it as internal storage, a few days later, it cant recognize the HDD. when I go on kodi it says "waiting for external storage". it happens all the time. I thought if i power down the shield instead of sleep mode it would fix it, nope problems still there. can anyone help me. i dont want to buy a desktop external hdd because im not going to have use for this hdd after i paid for it already.

Any particular reason as to why you want to format it to be Internal?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Dont know what you're using to plug it in but try with another enclosure, cable and if using a usb hub in between then try pluging the hdd directly to the shield TV and make sure it receive the proper power to work. I've also read that the Shield tv has some issues handling with more than one partition in external hdd's.

4TB should work but google search for users that report success with 4tb+ HDD, I've seen up to 3tb around.

If still you can't make it work stable then contact nvidia support and create a thread at geforce forum.

Hi Devs.

Asking a few help for the collective goodness remains...

I changed my 4.2.2 android UI to Pure Lollipop Downloaded from mtkroms.com

well.. all things were working fantastic... i even played SniperX without any hang. But when i got tired i pushed the home button to get away from the Game... as it took very long time going to the main screen...

i dumbly pulled out the battery!

and when I put it again in the phone, it won't boot...

I am pretty sure that the computer recognizes the phone. sp flashtool won't flash the stockrom because of the problem: ERROR_4032

the Suspects:

I updated the kernel with Xposed Installer when running 4.2.2 and all the things were good. I think that i should have made a copy of my working 4.2.2 just before flashing another ROM

I am using Win 10 pro and i Wonder if the Drivers (like DA BOOTLOADER ... (etc)) are not suitable for win10.

The vary last thing i should mention is:

I bought the same model of the same brand for my younger brother but after a while he brought the phone which was stuck on the android bot lying with an error sign upon it... when i flashed his phone with the same stock rom. it made the same problem.(I mean the same error in sp flashtool 4032)

And I must mention that the stock rom didn't have any problems, because i had flashed it several times to my dear phone...

leave a reply if you had any IDEA on "How could I restore my lovely Phone?"

My phone is Mt 6572, 2 cores, nearly 1GB RAM(approximately 834 MB), 5 MP Camera

Any help is appreciated. Martin

Yes, cleared cache and data. It worked for me.

You may try to see logs.

1. Open dialer and compose *#9900#, clic on DEBUG LEVEL and select MID or HIGH, your device will reboot automatically.

2. Redo the procedure to try to restore backup(in this way you will generate the logs for your issue)

3. Open dialer and compose *#9900#, clic on RUN DUMPSTATE/LOGCAT/MODEM LOG, wait for the process to complete and select COPY TO SD CARD (include CP RAMDUMP)

4. Search for the log file and see if you can read something wrong.

You can follow the steps to get back your Samsung data.

1. Recover the wanted data from Samsung Account. To get back your files, you need to go to Settings and elect Accounts once again. Next, choose Samsung account and tap on Restore. After that, you can select the file types that you want to restore and click on Restore now to start restoring.

2. Confirm your option. After taping on the Restore now option, a pop-up prompt will appear to ask you to confirm your action. Just tap on ok to proceed the process.
