As I said....with an F device running on US T mobile you will NEVER get Tmo updates.

Not going to happen.

Bixby...who the hell knows lol. I think its a joke that sammy releases a device touting bixby as a feature...with a dedicated button for it and it doesnt work.

And it just got delayed again for the US I read somewhere...i dont pay much attention to it honestly because i think bixby will be useless and Ill never use it anyway.

Thank god we can remap that silly bixby button!

But with you having a rootable device i bet you will be able to flash bixby as a mod sooner than later.

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the s8? model number sm-g950w, Canadian version (Bell), snapdragon processor.

I regret buying the phone because of this, was planning on rooting it but didn't do enough research obviously, assumed that it would be consistent across model numbers (it's not).

I've tried most of the things I've found on google over the past few weeks and have sort of exhausted my options I feel. Is it possible at all? Has anyone been successful?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
Lol....umm no. No unlock and 99% it will never get unlocked.

The device may see root at some point but not unlocked.

As you said you should have done some research prior to buying. Now just sell that locked paperweight and buy a exynos!

Best way to go really.

I bought my samsung galaxy s8 plus from China and I thought that it would be the same as the north american versions, but I think that the software is somehow different. Aside from not having the google stuff and the play store, a lot of things are for use only in China, such as caller ID. my phone assumes all incoming numbers to be from a Chinese telecom provider, and so all my contacts with Canadian phone numbers are assumed to be Chinese phone numbers with a missing first number? In any case, my caller ID is not working properly now, and I am too lazy to add a country code to all my contacts... So what I am wondering is, is there any way to get the stock, factory software (US/Canada version) on my phone, without rooting?

S8+ OTA update AT&T

I am not getting the latest OTA from AT&T. I am currently on G955USQU1AQC9 with March 1, 2017 security patch level.

The newest firmware is G955USQS1AQG1 with July patch.

Is there a way to manually update it? Can the file be downloaded from somewhere and updated using PC/Mac?

The phone I am using was originally a T-mobile version, but I flashed to ATT stock firmware and everything works fine including AT&T specific features like Wi-Fi calling. But to make this work I had to give AT&T an IMEI of an original AT&T S8+, otherwise my phone was recognized as an unknown device in their system. Probably this is why I am not getting OTA.

Thanks in advance.

Why S8+ deinstalls Google Earth?

Hi there. I have an S8+ with stock G955FXXU1AQG5. I'm trying to install Google Earth from APKmirror.com since it's locked for my region (RU) in Google Play. The most recent suitable apk is " Google Earth 9.0.4.2 build 171171504 May 4, 2017	arm	Android 4.1+	480dpi".

The apk install correctly and Google Earth then runs ok, but in ~10 seconds it closes and silently disappears. The same happens even if I install and don't even run the Google Earth: the icon shows up, and in several seconds deinstalls without any messages. I've even tried to read logcat but there were no any hint on what's happening and why the phone deinstalls my app.

So anyone had the same? What could be the problem here?

upd: It happened to be Google Earth's problem with all Android 7.0+ when Earth is installed from apk, not Samsung-specific.

There are community patched apks which will work fine, but you should download them only if you fully trust the source.

US \ International

Hello! I have such a question:

There are 2 options of Samsung phones (most popular) - US on Snapdragon and International on Exynos.

Currently I am living in US, so I can buy US unlocked version, which model is (for example) SM-G930UV (or something like that,

but NOT a SM-G930F as an international one), but it is UNLOCKED version, not any operator version.

So the problem is that such versions of the phone do not have a choise of languages to choose. I need russian language, and

I only can install it from additional list (main list consit around 8 languages) and it means that half of the phone will be russian

and half still english... This language pack does not translate the menu properly.

Also, as I know, you can not root any version except the international one (930F).

So I can buy international one and have no problems, but, living in US and having internatioan version of samsung measn that

you can't use Wi-Fi calling (and sometimes I need it very much), and you can not use all operators (you can not use CDMA operators

like Verizion). Those facts where tested on US SM-G930V and International SM-G930F and US SM-G950UV (i guess) and int. SM-G950F.

So, is there any option to buy phone in US (i meen US version) but have a whole list of languages correct and root it?

Is there any possibility to unlock bootloader and install international ROM on it? Maybe by contacting Samsung and rejecting warranty?

What are the options?

Thank you!

Could be from any app that you've installed yourself. Please check and double check all permissions an app has before you install. If a flashlight app is asking permission to read your contacts and access the internet, you can be assured it's doing some shady things.

Is there a conclusive way to get rid of the random reboot issue yet? I've Googled it multiple times and not yet found a good solution. It's become so bad that almost every time whenever I update an app, the phone will reboot either once it finishes downloading the update or once it finished installing it (or both!). A month ago I had to reflash my phone because it got stuck in a reboot loop. Reboot, work for 5 seconds then reboot again. I assumed it was my weather app, so I just didn't reinstall it.

I CANNOT EVEN CLICK IT TO "ADD AN ACCOUNT" OF ITS KIND. THERE IS NO ACTIONABLE RESPONSE.

To make matters worse, I am affraid that it (presumed virus) rooted my device and made itself a system app.

My phone started acting up right around the same time that I discovered this empty account in the "add account" section of settings.

I think it's become a system app because the mysterious blank account survived a factory reset last night. Now I'm freaked out. Pretty sure this device is monitored and my sensitive information is for the taking.

Hi mate

With the information given , i think you maybe over reacting...

If it make you fell better , backup all the important information you may have in the phone and flash (odin) your firmware again..fresh start ( and clean)

download firmware from here

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/ATT/

follow this instructions:

https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37508

pay attention to step 6 , use CSC not home_csc ( use CSC even if it is the same CSC as you have now) , when using CSC you will "format" all partitions ( factory reset) and this will give you for sure a fresh and clean start

Hi!

You are giving me hope now.

Are you sure it's still okej just because i have access to download mode?

Just try again with stock FW?

That's what I did and the error i get in Odin is that "PIT" problem.

EDIT:

I cannot turn either on or off OEM LOCK now because I have no access to the phone.

The phone is stuck at the Samsung logo, all I can access is the download mode.

Can it be fixed by fastboot/ADB command from PC?

Once knox is tripped there is no going back and yes they can void warranty for it.

I say can because some people have gotten warranty repair done with it tripped and others have been denied.

How didnt you know that rooting trips knox though...this has been the case for a few years.

Always a good idea to do some research before flashing. Some things cant be undone unfortunately.

Sir, i do know it trips Knox but where i did wrong the second attempt was what I believe i did not check "unlock oem" in development section after the factory reset and that's why Knox what I believe is behind this... :/

Ah sorry i misunderstood.

You turned off oem unlock then tried to flash something in odin is that it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tigersaid:
Yes, I believe OEM Unlock was OFF this time, so

something like that.

I turned OEM Unlock to ON at the first root attempt that failed.

I got then stucked on the Samsung boot logo, and somehow a "reset/factory" button appeared at the bottom of the screen and I did that then the phone was normal after that.

Then I tried again to root, but this time I was quick and not checked OEM Unlock to ON.

I believe it went to standard OFF after the factory reset and that's why I'm stuck at the Samsung logo and not seeing the reset button again at the bottom.
