I'm upgrading to the s8+when it's released. I had the note 5 on Verizon and switched to T-Mobile. Picked up the s7 edge for $120(it has some cracks but works) but it's too small.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Richieboy67:
I'm loving the S7 edge now that it has nouget!

I'm going to try to hold off for awhile until they offer a better deal on an s8 or something else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tengtengvn:
If there's a good trade in deal, I will trade for the S8. As of now, I'm satisfied with the S7e & Nougat. It's still the best phone in the market IMO. I've had the Pixel but sold it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Namuna:
Had the Note3, wanted the Note7. Explosions aplenty and no more Note7 option so I opted for the S7E. Soon after buying the phone I find out it's locked and the only workaround is a rooted Engineering kernel that's pre-optimizations. Decided to give it a try anyway and had nothing but issues. New stock Nougat comes out and I decide to give up on the root in favor of a properly working phone. Have had Nougat a couple of days now and my phone is working beautifully.

I typically buy my phones outright and if I actually took the time to resell them and put the money back into getting the next phone, I'd probably swap out every generation. But I don't and so instead I'm usually fine with waiting at least 2 to 3 generations of upgrades before I'm really itchy to upgrade.

All that said, now that my S7E is working properly, I'm going to enjoy it and my next upgrade will likely be the Note 9 or 10.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Illrigger:
Cost doesn't matter much, since I am leasing through Jump On Demand; the difference between the GS7E and the Note 7 was around $10 a month, this will be maybe $15. JOD actually encourages me to try out the GS8 since I need to make use of the upgrade path to make it worthwhile. I'll start on the GS8+ and if it's too big I can turn it in and get the smaller GS8. Later this year I can still swap to the Note 8 or something else if I feel like it.

With Jump I was switching phones a lot up until last year. I've had the S7 since release and got another one different color with the $360 sale. I had gold and got blue coral. I sold my gold s7 one and haven't even opened the new one. I might sell it before the price drops more. I've been using a backup phone. I should have just got the V20 for something different but I also recently got a S2 when it was on sale for $96. I really like Samsung phones even after the Note 7 fiasco. I wanted that phone. I think I want the S8 but only if the promo's are good since the price is probably going to be really high. At times I want to cancel Jump and just wait a year or two when phones drop in price but I'll probably cave in like I always do. lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] eduardmc:
U should do a hard reset cause i dont have any of those problem CAUSE Im always once a week clear my caches and freeing ram memory. Remember s8 835 is only 11% faster which u will only notice in benchmark. Day to day use it will be hardly noticeable the problem with note 5, gs6,gs7 was never about cpu it has always been the bad ram managment. Heck even 810 to 820 is hard to see a different. Samsung will add a bunch of crap like bitsy smart assitant, face recognitation, iris scanner and other crap running in the background. 4gb ram is already NOT enough for gs7 since samsung have like 100 resources running in the background.

Same story about lag and slowness overtime. Note 5 ( 4gb ram) gs6, gs7. And the story will be the same for gs8. That way they will make everyone upgrade when they release their note 8 with 6gb. Mark my words.

I've been flashing and upgrading my Samsung tablets the past couple of days. And I have to admit, for those of us who read xda - rom development is an important part of the overall Android experience.

I've got a couple of older Samsung tablets that I recently flashed with new RR roms that really modernized them! I think that's what I miss the most.

The S7E, to me, has good battery life, stock (and slightly debloated with package disabler) is snappy... Perfect? No - but a good phone.

I want a truly fully root able phone with rom development next time. That's just me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] UnixSlayer:
I concur.... I believe that Samsung, and I will be parting ways. The Galaxy S7 Edge is a great, and powerful phone, but with no options to customize it.... I consider it a dead end.

I ran this phone with the ENG kernel for more than 6 months now.... and since then i have restored the stock rom yesterday. The phone runs smoothly, and doesn't even get warm to the touch. So i have decided to leave it stock.

I will probably wait for the new Nexus phone to arrive, and make sure it is rootable before i purchase. I will not spend anymore time, and money on these phones that cannot be personalized.....

I should have read more on the s7 edge before buying the phone such a good looking device...but I need root...and I really don't like what I'm reading when it comes to results of rooting this......will s8 be the same? Will I have to move on from samsung to get proper root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] animal7296:
Root doesn't matter much to me. I used to jack around with my phones and even risked permanently bricking my evo 3d to gain root at one point. However, these days I find that the phones are great the way they are.

(This comment is just my feelings on it, I truly hope the bootloader is unlocked for all of the flashaholics out there. Who knows, maybe something will come around that'll get me to start rooting again.)

Nope! im done spending 800+ on phones. Im totally content with my S7 edge. I will only buy non major unbranded phones for now on like one plus and the xiaomi etc

Who or where did you get you back glass replaced at and how much? I have to do the same thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jgodfrey82:
I used a local repair shop, iFixyourI or something like that, $50 repair, takes about 30 minutes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jgodfrey82:
I haven't had the front done but that shop told me the edge is the most expensive glass to repair at about $400

Waiting for Nokia's flagship. May pick the 6 to mess around with since its inexpensive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tengtengvn:
$400 is a BS price. The glass digitizer is $90. Locally at the source (Vietnam, where SS makes the phone), the glass digitizer is $50, whole screen assembly $200-$250, $15 for the frame. Difficult to repair, yes, but unless they want $300-$350 for labor, no way it would cost $400 to replace the glass.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] The Root:
Now that I'm cool with stock I'm deciding if I can give up physical buttons. I might jump to the S8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jgodfrey82:
Umm so a $250 assembly and $150 labor is $400.. doesn't seem out of the question that they would charge that. I'm no expert and I'm not claiming to know the pricing of the parts, I'm just repeating what the shop told me. I'm sure if it wasn't the whole assembly you could get it done for less but based on your info $400 is right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tengtengvn:
Most repair jobs aren't involving screen + digitizer replacement. At that point, just go to Samsung support, they will charge under $300 for the job and you have the confident that the phone can still handle water.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] PoisonWolf:
I'm not sure what I'll switch to...but I'm not going to be paying top dollar for a locked bootloader anymore. I'd probably go the route of Oneplus or Xiaomi, or whatever is sub $450 and has good developer support here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Araltd:
I agree completely. The S8+ looks nice, I watched a bunch of release video's today, but I have reservations about buying another Samsung device based on the locked bootloader = no root = no development... kind of why I love android. Flashing new roms, keeping devices as current as possible with custom roms, etc... I have to agree, my next device will most likely be the OnePlus 5 or whatever they'll call it... I considered Samsung the "apple" of the android world with amazing hardware quality etc... but the locked bootloader is a deal breaker at least for me it is.

I can run android 7.1.1 on my rooted Note 4 which is 2+ years old, but not on my S7E which only has android 7.0 (just using this as a comparison).

I respect the decision to kill NFC payment when rooted (android/samsung pay) which is fine by me - but give me an unlocked bootloader so I can root and choose to loose those features, that's MY CHOICE. Preventing the community from rooting with a locked bootloader drives customers away - myabe not all, but in my opinion enough of them to matter... The modding (rooting) community helped BUILD samsung mobile phone division into the monster it is today. I could be wrong? but that's how I feel. Locking the bootloader and preventing root eliminates customers. I would PAY samsung an extra fee to unlock the bootloader and turn the S7E (or whatever) into a true developer device... That would be ok to me too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] UnixSlayer:
Actually the fact of the matter is the U.S. government. They cannot collect metadata from rooted phones. This is why all U.S. phone carriers do not allow rooting, or unlocking of the bootloader..... only phones from Europe, and Asia can be rooted....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] kgor93:
Very very tempted to get the S8. I played with it at Best Buy and even with all the bloatware it was way faster than my S7E has ever been. In terms of raw performance, it's a big upgrade. The domestic S7 was basically the same thing as the S6.

To give you an idea of the performance increase:

Geekbench has the Exynos S7 at 5200 pts and the Snapdragon S7 at 3800 pts. The S8 is getting 6300 pts for both the Exynos and the Snapdragon models. Let me tell you, I had the International S7 and it was buttery smooth. No lag at all. The S8 is faster than that phone.

Prob going to get the Exynos version since it'll likely get root quickly.

Omg, went to costco and they have the s8 and s8+ on display and wow. What a beauty. Both or very nice. But the s8 looks a lil tiny. The s8+ feels massive maybe because of the screen size. Cant wait for mine. Seems costco has they're own promotions to buy the s8. Also the black s8's look sick. If u think the iphones look nice, guess again. Apple may have some trouble.

Just recently switched mine out to a Mate 9. This was even after playing with the s8+ at a store. In the end tired of the edge screen, just can't adapt to it. Hopefully the note 8 has less curved edges granted the s8's is less than the 7, but still would drive me nuts.

My mate 9 has almost as big a screen, is just as fast and has larger battery. Actually this is the most fluid Android phone I have ever owned.

I am perfectly fine with the 1080 screen to boot.

Note 8 will definitely be something I'll look at.

Hi all,

i've found an alternative approach to flash any firmware on HERMES 200.

I had a problem while i was trying to upgrade my WM5 Vodafone 1605 to WM6.

My bootloader is SPL-1.09, and i've tried in many ways to install Hard-spl v7 but here is what was keeping happening:

Here is the solution:

- Download the firmware u wish to install on your device

- Unpack the firmware (right-click and Extract)

- copy the .nbh file into you microSD card and rename it as: HERMIMG.nbh

- put SSPL-HERM.exe into you device (you can get this app in this site too)

- now put you microSD card into you device and run SSPL-HERM.exe

- enjoy

I'm just an unexpert user that has tried many times to upgrade his device reading other posts on this forum. So pls correct me if i've said something wrong!

I wrote this post just cause i was going crazy and i wasn't able to find a solution like this around the sites :D

Hope this help somebody!

PS: I'm sorry for my bad english! :)

i don't know how to fix...when i start the flashing process the device switches in the bootloader mode and then nothing else is happening, there is no connection to the pc. i tried to switch off the firewall, i changed the cable, i changed usb port but nothing happens...

does anybody know what i shall do?

its the same fault as anvillani describes, the only thing different is that i dont get herm200 but herm300

Go to page 116, post 1160 and READ it step by step, juymp ahead and this WON'T work. Just make sure you use a 2Gb or less sd card. INSTALL HARD SPL 1st.... Then you can use the sd card method (just skip the steps using sspl.exe as you should now have Hard SPL) to update your roms....

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] the r3a! ne0:
i really dont know what you want to say with this...

i tried the normal procedure to flash hard spl to my device and i tried the method anvillani suggested and both didn't funtion.

so my question is what i should do...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Follow the link and instructions in my previous post. It will allow you to install Hard SPL using the sd card method. You do need to be able to get to the today screen though.

After reading anvillani's post I'll add that the sd card MUST be 2Gb or less and has to be formatted FAT32. You have to name the .nbh file hermimg.nbh with NO speeling (sorry, spelling :b) errors or it won't work.

Cheers...:D

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishu27:
Here's how it started:

I was happily using the tablet (pollux_windy), when something prompted me to upgrade to 7.11 Lineage OS images. One of the things noteworthy here is that I was never able to go to recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP. I was always using adb to reboot to recovery

I installed it and used OpenGapps aroma installer to install what I wanted. I removed a few CM account related stuff

The tablet booted but was being stuck on the first screen on initial setup that displays a big LineageOS logo in green and there was no other option on it. I thought maybe the tablet is being slow and left it overnight to see if anything appears. Nope.. nothing did.

I tried a lot to go to recovery to reflash or flash something good. But as I mentioned before, I wasn't able to get into recovery by key combinations.

I tried to use Sony Companion to do a Software Repair. It kept complaining that bootloader was unlocked

I tried to use flashtool on mac to flash a stock FTF. It kept giving error (ERROR - null, ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted)

Since it looked like the only problem with using Sony Companion was that bootloader was unlocked. So I proceeded to lock the bootloader from flashtool. I believe this was where I messed up. I locked it successfully

I then proceeded to use software companion but it keeps giving me error with a small message about UEGetPhoneInfoFailure. I searched a few forum and posts but it seems that there's no solution for this (?)

I tried to unlock my bootloader again. I did it through the official method the first time and repeated it but fastboot write failed and it wasn't unlocked. Flashtool is not able to unlock it as well. Flashtool error is (Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked)

I tried various versions of flashtool in MacOS and in Windows, trying to flash any FTF. I get a new error along with the one I mentioned above (-: Processing of loader.sin finished with errors)

I'm now typing this post :eek:

I'll appreciate if someone can help here.

I got this device when it first came out. I've loved it since now. It was an ace. It's not waterproof anymore because I did a few repairs on my own. But it worked flawlessly and battery life was great. I wouldn't mind saying goodbye to it as it's pretty old, but trying to revive it and have it living as it's cooler than a dead tablet :)
