[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] liguangming1981:
I had the same problem, and I was able to flash the international version of the ROM by following the directions below:

1. Download the ROM from here: http://www.easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=19521 . Make sure you click on the 3rd link (the one WITHOUT the 'Exclusive' marking - this download will be free)

2. Follow the instructions in this post to flash the ROM: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71514927&postcount=25 . Intel Platform Flash Tool Lite can be downloaded from here: https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite.

Note that you'll have to install 3-4 software updates once your Yoga Book starts up after flashing this ROM. You will also lose all of your data, so make sure you've backed up everything before starting.

If you follow the directions in the post I listed everything will work properly. The only issue is that the ROM is for the SIM equipped version of the Yoga Book, so if you install it on the Wifi only version of the Yoga Book you'll get a 'No Sim' icon in the notification bar - but there are no other problems that I've encountered.

[Samsung Gear Fit] spyderveloce:
I just got my Gear Fit 2 and, for lack of a decent, quick app for loyalty cards, I had been using the photo gallery on the Gear S2 for storing images of my loyalty cards to scan at Walgreens, CVS, Starbucks, etc. I'm finding that there's no gallery or photo app for the Fit 2, at least none I can find. About the best I've been able to do is use "Photo Fit Watch" and Inkscape along with a barcode generator to make up a barcode watch face for my Starbucks card that I use most often. This is great and get's me my Starbucks, but I'm limited to one barcode. Anyone find anything better or willing to make a gallery app or even a loyalty card app that works with the Fit 2? Even better... a watchface that will let you manually cycle between health stats and images/barcodes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
It seems that S8/S8+ from AT&T as well as the unlocked SM-G955U have band 30

However the G955F and G955FD seem to not have it...

Question to International version buyers and that have AT&T, how much do you care about band 30?

Do you believe their will be a Dual sim phone with band 30 launched at future date?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] solojazz:
Does the International model have band 12? I checked Samsung UAE and it lists band 12 but on Amazon it doesn't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Would be nice but probably never going to happen
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] clubtech:
yes it has band 12.

https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=3292117
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
From experience using the international version on any USA carrier can be risky. If you live in a big city you should get normal service most of the time. You won't be able to get the carrier aggregation that AT&T uses band 30 for though so when the network is congested your service will be noticeably effected.

Also if it is still missing any of the low bands you will have a hard time getting a good signal in rural areas as well. For the most part you will want to make sure you have access to Bands: 2, 4, 12, 17. that will cover the majority of your needs. Bands 29, and 30 really only come in with the carrier aggregation. but without them you will notice slower speeds or no signal at all at big events.

I tried out an international S7e after I had to relinquish my Note 7, for me it was not worth it. Root is becoming less needed now, custom ROMs break TOO much functionality (Samsung Pay, Android Pay, Work Email, Banking Apps, etc) and the things I loved root for, display scaling, ad blocking, Viper4Android, Themes, are becoming less needed, due to compatible things being offered on stock. Just not worth it anymore for slight tweaks and marginal performance increases.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] solojazz:
What you've said here gets me thinking, I don't want to root I just want better battery life which if it's like the s7 launch the exynos had much better battery life but if they're the same what else are the differences should I just buy it from T-Mobile in the states?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
Well I made a drastic decision last night and got the AT&T version at Best Buy, they have a $35 14 day return policy. So I thought I can always return it and get an International version.

12 hours into s8+ 955U, I am impressed. It runs much smoother as my s7e 128gb G9350 black pearl .... was worried that like with the s7e I was going to feel more of these little delays that I had on s7e snapdragon but not on Exynos... this is not the case.

Other comments:

- smartlinked transfered, contacts, pictures, sms, etc but only 70% of the apps...

- Like everything except that the finger printer scanner location will take me another few days to unlock efficiently...

Oh and my 9 year told me, "Dad, why did you tell mom that you bought a new phone, it looks exactly the same as before just a little longer, she would never have noticed!"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
You have an account with AT&T or you paid full price?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
I paid full price, but have an account with AT&T. I switch phones a lot and resell them on ebay.

By the way an ATT store NY wanted an extra $25 for a sim card that I did not need and then they said "sorry Sir you can not buy it for $850 we only sell no contract phones after one month"

THat is why I went to Best Buy... Ordered on the app, got an email 35 minutes, and picked up the phone....effortless..... went home switch the sim card for s7e to s8+, few setup clicks, smartlink and just had to reinstall two dozen apps that did not make it over
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Yea I figured thats why I asked. Appreciate the info and honesty. I hate the cell phone companies they are so full of s$%t. So now may I ask how easy is it to have AT&T sim unlock it for you? I know they have the web portal for non and current customers, but ive never used it before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
I unlocked many iphones on the At&T protal it usually takes 1-3 business days and was smooth.

Switched to Android for the Note 7 (!) and Knox and only bought international versions until last night.

Will unlock this in 60 days, as their is a 60 day delay... it better works as I will travel internationally in 66 days !!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
Actually I just checked the portal and I believe as my account is way older as 60 days, i can unlock the new phone after 14 days (buyers remorse period)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Thats good to know I wonder how long they make non customers wait if they make AT&T customers wait that long. Please if you have time update us as to the SIM lock situatuon. Thanks in advance

Kids keep getting smarter and smarter as time goes on lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] clubtech:
That's not accurate for the S8 international unlocked variant this year.

According to the FCC listing it supports the following US bands 12, 17, 13, 26, 5, 66, 4, 25, 2, 41 so aside from band 30 it has all the bands needed to work great on AT&T and T-Mobile.

It also has carrier aggregation with US bands with the following combinations:

2+12

4+12

4+17

12+12

66+17

41+41

66+66

and 3 band carrier aggregation at the following bands:

4+12+12

66+12+66

41+41+41

It's interesting that this year the international version includes Verizon and Sprint LTE bands but not CDMA bands (so not sure how will that work on those two networks).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
You keep mentioning this FCC stuff but im not sure why a phone meant for sale and use in countries outside the USA would be contacting our FCC?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] clubtech:
Every phone model that wants to be allowed to enter the US (either if you are a foreigner and would like to come with it to the US or if you are a retailer who would like to import it to the US) must get FCC certified to makes sure it follows US wireless guidelines, does not cause interference with frequencies used in the US and has acceptable SAR levels.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Can you send a link that actually works with proof the F and FD international versions ever applied for FCC certification?

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...id=y9iH3wwF54NP3e+s5fwinQ==&fcc_id=A3LSMG955F

Check "SAR Report 1" for the "proof" on the frequencies I stated earlier in the thread.

i'm using a G955FD, dual sim on AT&T and (so far) no issues. now, i travel frequently most often to major cities and signal strength, call reception has not been an issue. in Chicago this week on the 30th floor downtown and features available to me are working fine. note, however, that video calls and wifi calls don't work because the phone is not an ATT phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Can you check and see what LTE bands you get with LTE discovery app? Not sure if the areas you travel have band 30 or if the phone gets band 30 but it would be really nice if it does.

Yea I'm on band 2 right now but when I start using the internet it normally hooks into band 30 and I get pretty fast speeds.

***I'm talking about AT&T service on my OnePlus 3T***
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
I fixed that issue on my S7E G9350 128 GB with 2 things

- get a new at&t Sim card (fyi I have to activate my new one Sim as well I currently do only have HSPA+ because I'm using another Sim only 6 months old)

- find and imei number from an official Att s8 and call customer support and they will over write it

and u should get to use the att Voicemail (speech to text) features .

I had to give them a att imei every time I came back from oversees
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] NnihcD:
How do you get an ATT imei? I plan on purchasing a 955FD.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
Well... it seems that AT&T allows to have an IMEI several times on the network.

I got mine in the past from a good friend

I read as well from people in forums that used "other methods" such as copying the imei from sample phones or by going through listings on ebay were people sell the AT&T version of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sashaohio:
Does Samsung Pay work on your international variant on the US?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
no, Samsung Pay is not working on my device for 2 reasons: i'm rooted and my device is from Dubai (Samsung Pay not support in that region). there could be methods/options to get around this, but i'm not a Samsung Pay user so i don't know if any exist. hope this answers your question.

Yes, it does! Thank you for quick reply! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I will leave this warning here. What you are doing is basically cloning a device by using another's IMEI and doing so is illegal in 99% of the countries in the world and could not only get you in legal trouble but have you banned from networks as well as having your device globally blacklisted.

Is it is illegal XDA doesnt condone doing this nor do we allow talks about how to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
Sorry, can you delete the post? can I delete it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Dont worry about it. It can stay so others that read the thread will have context for my warning.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
Actually for those who are curious. I did get an 955U from ATT and I had LTE Discovery on for a week, it does turn out that I had 12% of band 30, 46% of band 2 and 42% of band 17. Around NJ et NYC.

The phone might have picked up other towers without band 30, but 12% makes me want to stay with the 955U vs 955FD... And the s8+ is smooth even with qual.... no lag that I had with the s7e qual but not on exynos...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FrenchJo67:
Unlock took less than 2 hours:

- was an at&t customer

- purchased s8+ locked to At&t from Best buy on Monday April 24th

- previous SIM worked with phone but did not give me LTE, so had to activate new sim

- Today 15 days later ( you have to wait 14 days) I did the unlock process on the at&t web site. It asked my my account pin and then at&t sent an email.

- 2 minutes later I had email asking me to click and confirm that I requested the unlock

- less than 2 hours later it was approved and I had my code :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Psyscope:
However since att uses Band 17, the fact the phones do not support band 17 is a big problem. I remeber my note 7 would get texts that would never be received. It was largely due to the fact that we were using a phone that was not supporting band 17.

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

Actually it is only illegal if you use another person's IMEI to fake a phone's registration onto the network. In other words alter your phone to give out a fake imei. That is illegal.

However what is not illegal is provide AT&T your friends IMEI so that you get approved for new features that only the ATT branded phones have. This is a norm for ATT who locks a network down, they take another IMEI so there systems let you have all possible features. This is not illegal, and the ATT reps allow it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
not sure if you're referring to the 955F/D, but my 955FD uses Band 17 most often when i'm at home. :)

According to multiple sellers the G955FD doesn't have band 12 enabled. Can anyone who has this model confirm that band 12 is enabled out of the box? Some sites say that the band is enabled but it's hard to trust them.

I'm gonna purchase an S8 Plus and bought a G955FD from a seller on ebay for $799.99 and emailed them asking if it supports band 12 and was told it doesn't and I'd be getting refunded. If that's the case I'll buy the unlocked US version at Best Buy but I want the Exynos version if possible and want to avoid paying the tax.

I will leave you with this bit of advise that many here already know. Never and I mean never trust a seller on ebay. With that site you have to assume that they are not being truthful. Use swappa instead to be sure to get the device you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] twe90kid:
what's not truthful about this seller? also i have amex to cover the purchase. nothing to worry about
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Thats the problem is there is no telling until after you buy the device. You can find thousands of posts here about people that were ripped off on ebay. I could easily make a knock off device that only a few people here would be able to tell wasnt the real thing. It is common practice with ebay sellers mainly when it comes to cell phones. This is why XDA advises to use swappa.

Swappa is garbage just like eBay and PayPal and amazon third party sellers. Any issue with a swappa transaction and they send you to resolve it with PayPal. Swappa has zero authority or means to accomplish anything for a buyer or seller who runs into problems.

Here in most of Delaware the LTE signal strength on my G955F is very poor. I leave in on 3G most of the time. I use it on AT&T. Where my Nexus 6P has a full signal LTE, the S8+ struggles to find one at all.
