http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/29/1...ed-features-release-date-video-specifications

Very early look at the phone. Interesting design choices, especially the Bixby button. Not sure about battery life either, may be necessary to get the Plus for heavy users.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielWEWO:
I've got the maximum brightness bug. For people who don't know what this is, it causes the phone to shoot to maximum brightness for a short period upon unlocking. This is incredibly annoying when I'm waking up early in the morning, or checking an important notification in the middle of the night.

It's a known issue, and here is the AOSP Issue: https://code.google.com/p/android/i... Priority Owner Summary Stars Reporter Opened

I've done some searching on this forum, but I haven't seen anybody with a solution.

I've tried resetting to bone stock, I've tried multiple ROMs, and multiple kernels, and flashed questionable zips trying to fix this.

Does anybody know of any way to fix this? Any kernel, or ROM that has this bug fixed? My eyes are bleeding. Save me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielWEWO:
Bumping this because I still have this issue and still can't find any information on it.

Why do you think face recognition is obtrusive? Microsoft use the technology and have done for a whole. Also are you scared to go outside as there is cctv camera everywhere. Also fingerprint readers have been on the past 2 Galaxy phones.

Because I upgrade every year and love Samsung phones. I always try new OEMs but at the end of the day, I always end up on a Samsung phone which typically is the Note series.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] buttsak:
I haven't had a Samsung since the s3. I figured with that beautiful display it's time to try another one out. Also hopping that it being a such a highly anticipated device that root will come quick. My last 3 devices have been overlooked and I miss it. The only drawback I see it the fingerprint scanner, such a weird placement but I guess we'll see. 4-21 can't get here fast enough :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rahsaanabdul:
Pre-ordered it because of everything about it. I love how touch wiz has been redone. Honestly, if there hadn't been any changes at all to the previous versions of Touch wiz it would be a deal breaker. It's been years since I've had a micro SD card reader (Nexus) I haven't dealt with a Samsung phone since the s4. I may not even care about root on this one. Do or die apps for me are Nova Launcher and my VPN app. Looking forward to Samsung pay also. I am looking forward to getting my hands on it. I won't ramble any longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsmithb:
I've got a Note 7 that I've been hanging onto ever since the recall. Already got a refund but didn't want to downgrade to a S7E. The Note 7 was a fantastic phone, and the S8+ keeps all it's best features, plus a better processor and larger screen, in a package that's only marginally bigger than the Note. I'll miss the S-Pen, but it's time to move on. Also for me, Samsung Pay is a big reason to stick with the company, as it beats the other mobile payment systems hands down...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] symple:
I pre-ordered the S8+ because I went thru (2) Note 7's, (1) S7 - which was temp phone during the explosive era, and ended up revisiting my original LG v10 (all under JUMP! v1)

So with that said JUMP! v1 became eligible on 03-01-17. . . I did just that. . . .JUMP!

My next eligible date for JUMP! V1 is on 08-02-17 . . . . so if there is a new phone worth moving on to . . . . I'll move on (especially if promo includes really good stuff. . .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Its all about the screen.

I had all the phones. The note 7 was great but they poo that.

So back to the s7 edge. Which is a nice phone, but the s8 has a wonder looking screen. The home button and fingerprint scranner will take some getting use to but over all it looks damn nice. Wonder what the s10 or s12 will look like lol...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
This is the best reason to buy the s8+ its that screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jpeckinp:
I currently have a N6 and I love the size and the wireless charging.

Pixel and a few other of the new flagship phones are too small and have no wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dezborders:
The water resistance and the non removable battery kind of go together dont they?

As for all the "intrusive" functions you can always just disable them

The S8 ts not a Note and does not pretend to be one, perhaps you are in the wrong forum area?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Super Chimp:
Two reasons because it still seems smaller than the iPhone 6S+ I am coming from & because I watch a lot of You Tube on my phone these days so the bigger the screen the better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
In a nutshell, it keeps everything the S7 has, and adds a lot to it. No features are removed from the S7, an already great phone, and lot of stuff was just pumped up and increased, making the good packet even better, no gimmicks (well, maybe Bixby?)

I'm coming from the S6, I probably wouldn't upgrade if I had an S7, but the improvements in pretty much every area are so big when coming from the S6 that, in my opinion, it's worth an upgrade. :good:

Hallo.Thanks for watching.

I am rooting Android's Z581KL.

I am rooting Android's Z581KL.

Here, I download and unpack the file ....

hZtZtpsZ://wZwZwZ.axfc.net/u/3777377

Z←remove

(PASS Z581KL)　(差分＝Difference，キーワード＝KEYWORD，ダウンロード＝Download，こちら＝HERE，cacheに置くもの＝Things to put in the cache)

Turn USB debug mode on,

adb reboot recovery

Enter recovery at.

After that, mount the system using the terminal volume button and the power button

adb push dirtycow /tmp/

adb push run-as /tmp/

adb shell

cd /tmp

chmod 777 dirtycow

chmod 777 run-as

./dirtycow ./run-as /system/bin/run-as

run-as

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p41 of=/tmp/boot.img

This will dump boot to /tmp/boot.img.

According to the developer, I am introducing SuperSU systemly by twinkling the boot area.

Since this model is recovery so that SELinux is permissive and adb can be used,

You can rewrite the boot area by using dirtycow.

So dump the boot area once and raise it to the PC and then install SuperSU

You can manually apply the script and write back to the terminal.

As a point of note, if the size of initrd differs from the original, it will not start,

It is necessary to adjust the size by erasing and compressing unnecessary files.

After dumping boot.img with exploit and developing it appropriately

Supersu's systemless script adapted locally

After re-packing it will be written in the same place with dd in reverse to extraction.

I have never read the script of supersu, but write the arm64 file

You can manually execute a place where apk is placed in the data area or something.

Perhaps by default / data is encrypted so place the file in / cache.

The file of arm64 will create an image file called su.img in ext4 and put it in it.

I mean, I do not know the procedure after dd if = / dev / block / mmcblk 0p 41 of = / tmp / boot.img.

So, if you let me know, it will be helpful.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jerry43812:
YMMV.

Proceed to read at your own risk. This is intended for informational purposes only. I am not responsible for anything here.

So my wife's Sprint S6 displayed the error of "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock". This was caused by Developer Options being turned off, then the device was rebooted.

In order to fix it, I tried so many things, including making an attempt to install 6 different versions of the ROM for this phone. I tried 4 different USB cords, tried all of the USB ports on my computer, and even went and grabbed the newest Odin, 3.12.3. None of the flashes worked, because they all failed, as shown below:

Added!!
Enter CS for MD5..
Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
Please wait..
Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
Leave CS..
Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
File analysis..
SetupConnection..
Initialzation..
Get PIT for mapping..
Complete(Write) operation failed.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I did loads of research and found out that you (obviously) can't install a version lower than the currently installed version, and I couldn't remember what the current version was on her phone. However, I found many success stories telling how the currently installed version was successfully Odin flashed onto a device exhibiting the same issue as mine, but it never worked for me.

I spent a few more hours this morning researching this issue because I did not want to lose the data that was on my wife's phone, because I care about keeping her happy ;) Amazingly, I tried something I read on a whim, expecting it to not work.

Using Odin 3.12.3, I downloaded QB1 from koop1955's thread. I verified the MD5 before doing anything else with the file. Then, I unzipped that download to produce a file ending in .tar.md5. I then deleted the extension .md5 from that filename, and put it into the AP slot in Odin. Odin didn't give any output (because it didn't do the md5 check that it would normally do). I then clicked Start. The flash worked!! The phone successfully flashed, and no data was lost at all. I am so damn happy!

tl;dr

0. Put phone into download mode. From an off state, press and hold Volume Down, Home, and Power til you get the blue screen, then press Volume Up to enter download mode. Plug it into your computer using a good USB cable.

1. Download QB1 from koop1955's thread

2. Unzip that download once.

3. Put the unzipped file into the folder in which Odin exists.

4. Delete .md5 from the filename. It should end in .tar now.

* If you don't see .md5 on the end of the filename:

* If you do not see file extensions, on W10, go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization. click File Explorer Options. Click the View tab. Place a check mark by the line labeled "hide extensions for known filetypes". Boom.

5. Click the AP button in Odin, then select that file you just renamed.

6. Click start in Odin. Let it flash. It should work.

@koop1955 I don't have knowledge about any of the android OS. But I have an issue and it still is an issue from 2016 to 2022. I have an android phone launched in 2016. I rooted it using SuperSU binary. By turning ON all the necessary features required for making custom recovery (TWRP) installed and installing SuperSU binary as well.

Therefore my developer options were turned ON and OEM unlocking was ON aswell. My phone name was Samsung J2 2016 (SM-J210F). I by mistake disabled OEM unlocking switch. And restarted the phone and it never

rebooted after that.

I need the data it is very precious to me. I don't need root privileges back or anything like that.

I just need the data and state of operating system the way it was before restarting.

Please help me @koop1955.

I have finally been able to flash a few Nougat ROMS on my N910V. I have NOT been able to flash any trltevzw ROMS but instead a few trltemo and trltexx ROMS. However when I flashed them and set them up I can get wifi but NO data. I was curious if ANYONE has any kernels and or data fixes for Nougat ROMS and if so maybe a link to share? I odin'd the corresponding TWRP to flash these ROMS, so would I need a kernel and or data fix for thetrltexx ROM or trltemo ROM .. OR would a kernel and or datafix for the actual trltevzw phone I have. Sorry if this doesn't make sense typing fast as im at work.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Levan9:
I am really sick and tired of all of the bloatware that htc and t-mobile adds to the phone.

I want to remove this useless apps and i found out that i need root access for this, i googled and found a lot of information on how to root htc m8 however the information is old, and i want to know if this will work on the latest tmobile version of software (6.0 android).

If nothing changed and i need to use all in one tool, should i change the recovery or can i use the stock recovery.

Finally if i will use the custom recovery i might install a custom rom, most probably lineage os. Will the dual camera work on this rom, or i need to install a seance ui custom rom for the camera to work.

October 2016 I took the plunge and rooted my M8. I am using Insert Coin Enhanced ROM and it is great. Very snappy performance, battery life is way longer than before and WiFi calling works, too.

Now, I was nervous and waited a long time, reading as much as I could before doing it. Even found a legit YouTube video from a guy named sakitech that gave a step-by-step for Mac users (which is me).

Rooting has been good, ICE ROMs has updated several times since then, even for the M8.

Good luck!
