[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Sounds like you haven't modded the phone before? No need to be afraid in my opinion. You won't brick (or otherwise damage) the device by unlocking the bootloader, installing custom recovery, and flashing a custom ROM. And the process is almost entirely reversible, with the slight exception of the fact that the bootloader will only ever say UNLOCKED or RELOCKED; versus LOCKED (stock condition). But this is almost entirely irrelevant, as RELOCKED is functionally the same as LOCKED, aside from the possibility that RELOCKED voids the warranty (indicates the phone was bootloader unlocked) but the huge majority of M8 devices don't have warranty at this point, as the phone is going on 3 years old.

Just be sure to properly read and understand the process

before

you start, don't use outdated methods, backup any personal data before bootloader unlock, and be sure to make a backup of your current stock ROM before flashing the new ROM. Also understand how to recover from problems, such as restoring a TWRP backup, etc.

Do the necessary due diligence before you start, and modding the phone will go just fine.

Ok, so just wanted to check with others here who have used TB for a long time. I do have the pro version. I am just used to being rooted before I restore between one phone to another.

So I have my backups from my S6 and I want to move them over to my S8 now. Cept S8 isnt rooted. Anyone know any potential issues with the new version of android and TB or anything for me to make note of before just blind restoring?

Also The freeze and chuck norris mode. Anyone tried TB for blocking OTA and other bloatware yet on their S8?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
There's no root on the s8 so no one tried anything yet, you can try using smart switch to see if it'll move apps with data or use helium since it can handle data also.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ewokuk:
Moving apps and data is generally just a recipe for trouble. People often find that things crash or use loads of battery power for no reason when moving apps and settings. It MIGHT work ok, but the safest way to guarantee no hard to diagnose issues is to let the play store reinstall the apps and data that it has saved and then manually reinstall the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Well with TB Restore. Did it HAVE to be rooted to work? Thats the part I cant remember.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ewokuk:
TB wont work at all without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JuampyXnaker:
It happened the same to me with other phones, I can give you a recommendation:

Try only to Backup

USER APPS

because the system's app & data are incompatible with other Roms & with other phones.... Just Backup and restore user apps and then you'll have to configure system apps again, because of the incompatibility. Also, there are some apps that can only be used in determined Roms and/or determined Android version (some apps for example, are compatible with Jelly Bean but Incompatible with KitKat or the reverse of this, etc. and so...)

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] mmar141:
Can someone point me to the guide for rooting a j700t? Do I need a specific version of TWRP or Odin to root my phone and then install the roms? Also, is there anything I need to watch out for(like bricking the phone) when rooting my phone(besides the obvious of voiding the warranty)?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] l3o4nn:
First make sure your phone have OEM unlocked, USB debugging and Unknown Sources from Developer Options.

( to activate it press multiple times on Version Number at About Device -> Software Informations )

Download latest versions of TWRP and SuperSU

1.Put your phone in download mode ( turn on the phone with home button, lock button and volume DOWN simultaneously pressed) and connect it to PC via USB

2. Open ODIN. Flash TWRP (at AP)

3. Download SuperSU and put in on your microsd card.

4. Enter TWRP ( turn on the phone with home button, lock button and volume UP simultaneously pressed)

5. At install select SuperSU zip from microsd card

6. Flash and enjoy ( if SuperSU not installed at first try. Flash again SuperSU from TWRP and it will work )

I had No problems after root. Have fun.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] mmar141:
Sounds easy enough. Theres no specific versions for TWRP I need to download correct?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] l3o4nn:
The latest it's preferable

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chavezlaw93:
Purchased my Nexus 6P a couple of weeks ago from Project Fi and it is still stuck on MM 6.0.1 and Dec. 1, 2015 security patch. Google support says to just wail longer for ota to update but will not offer up any time frame for update to arrive before I should assume that update system is simply stuck. Thoughts on whether phone just stuck on MM or whether it will update shortly. Most concerned about 2015 security patch! Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hello,

I would just sideload latest 7.1.2 N2G47H OTA from Google here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota

There is an easy tutorial explaining the process. If you're not sure, let me know...

Otherwise you can wait till you have an update notification. Though there's no time frame as to when it will come to you.

Good luck...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
I agree with [MENTION=4550510]5.1[/MENTION]. The fastest, least hassle-free way to get to 7.1.2 is to just flash the full April image. You could also try borrowing a SIM from somebody on a different network and popping that in. Let the phone start up and wait for their cellular network to be displayed in the notification bar. Then power down and put your SIM back in. Works, but you are liable to set yourself up for a series of updates. I would also recommend you leave your bootloader unlocked and USB debugging enabled.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpitera:
Hi! New to the 6p (completely) but not to flashing/mods/etc. Can this be flashed with TWRP or only via ADB? Anything I should be aware of on an unlocked/rooted nexus w/ProjectFi? Assume I will have to re-root - is this correct?

I have a tech matte vent mount and I stuck my S8 to it with no steel plate on the back and it held. Does anyone know if this is ok or will it potentially damge the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] osmosizzz:
Won't damage the phone as far as I know but the contact isn't as strong as if you had a plate. Downside of a plate is wireless charging not working. I have to somehow figure out how I'm going to place a plate ok it without killing the wireless charging function
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Igneous:
I purchased this one for my S6, seems to work well on my S8 so far. Won't fast charge it, but suits my needs.

If you put the plate on the lower third of the phone it shouldn't interfere with wireless charging https://youtu.be/GRmY-4HKVIk?t=1m43s
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] steelersmb:
That is correct but my phone seems to get a lot hotter when I do this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] chumpysv:
Week before I got the s8 I tried this with my note 5 and it did indeed run hot. I decided to forget about magnetic mounts due to this. Between the nfc chip and wireless charging coils you have to place the plate far down and it makes for an unstable connection due to it being top heavy. So now I rock an iottie quick release mount that sits in my CD player. It's low profile and clicks shut when I put my phone in it. Best mount I've ever had.

How secure is the phone without any plate? I've been looking at mounts and I don't want to stick anything to the back of my phone and I also don't use a case.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Does it hold the phone pretty sturdy without any plate?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Igneous:
Both the internal plate (designed to go between the case and the phone) and the magnetic sticker (to use on the back of the phone or outside back of a case) contains 4 small corner magnets in it. These magnets are used to keep the phone correctly positioned and are quite strong. I have attempted to use this charger with only the phone (both S6 and S8) without the additional magnets and had no success. A good bump in the road will knock it clean off the mount. The plus side is that the phone does not get hot during wireless charging on this mount or the few I have in my house. Also it will stick to any metallic surface, such as my refrigerator (nice for controlling music playback while in the kitchen).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] JamesR913:
My phony is pretty stable on my mount with no plate. I wouldn't go off road with it or even down a bumpy road but over your normal paved road it's not bad

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] strongylad28:
Think it would be possibly to swap the magnets out for stronger ones? I really don't want to put the extra metal on to the phone but I also don't want the thing dropping off! I was close to ordering this today but now I'm having second thoughts
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Igneous:
I am not sure. Seems like this charger relies more on the strong magnets in the sticker / case plate than what is contained in the actual mount itself. I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone using this mount / charger with a bare S6 or S8 from personal experience. There could also be some better alternatives out there at this point as I purchased the charging mount about 1 1/2 years ago.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jucytec:
This isn't a box made out of lead lol, it works fine. wireless signals go every direction... lol not a beam that shoots in 1 direction.

oh yeah, you also have to drill a giant hole in the wireless charger.

Depending how big the plate is but yes it could interfere.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] sosquidtaste:
Cool mod! Just to make sure, are you able to have your phone hold tightly to your mod even without sticking the Tetrax magnet part onto the back of your phone/case? Or is the mod able to hold the phone stably without it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] equake:
Do these vent mounts work with Thin cases like the Samsung Clear Cover without the metal plate?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jucytec:
I doubt any of you will do this but... I'll explain anyway.

There are many holes that need to be precision drilled...

1. hole for the tetrax magnet that goes on the front cover of the wireless charger.

2. screw holes for the vent mount on the back cover of the wireless charger.

3. a hole for your phone case to have the tetrax plate which is only 9mm wide.

I took the 9mm plate and epoxy and glued it to a left over screen protector film.

Drilled a hole dead center of the phone case.

The circular plate fits perfect in the hole without protruding out of the case.

One note... I have a TPU case, and... thermal polyurethane is impossible to drill with a regular bit. I had to make my own bit using one of my wife's makeup pen thing... the cap was made out of metal... i had to heat it and make it a bit wider to 9mm then put some notches to make it into a hole cutter.

I drive pretty rough/fast... I have yet to have the phone come off the magnet.

I still plan to put finishing touches...

1. remove the rubber anti-slip ring from the front

2. fill the seam between tetrax and the front cover

3. sand down the front cover

4. plastic dip the front and back cover

5. add the rubber ring back on.

Once it's done it'll look real stealthy... it might seem like a lot of work, but my car literally has no place to mount a holder/charger anywhere. and I don't like putting thing on my glass, i hate suction cups.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] sosquidtaste:
Things that can be described like this are exactly why I come to XDA :]

Thanks for sharing your process, I still think it's still a super, super cool mod
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] strongylad28:
Ditto , I opted for this mount as it has 6 apparently strong magnets

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01AMGFY5M/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this car charger that is fast charge 3.0.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01HH52Q5W/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My thinking was that I can then just plug it in as I need to and not risk constantly trickle charging the battery and damaging it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] SBC44:
I'm using that exact mount and it does work pretty well
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] strongylad28:
That a good to know!! I really don't want to put a case on with the metal thing in it so I figured more magnets = better lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] cvinton07:
Jucytec, how long have you been using this setup? Or have you had any long period of use with it yet this past week?

Looking through some of the designs for magnetic car chargers on Amazon, they tend to have a series of magnets mounted with reversing polarity in a circle around the outside of the inductance coil, to help prevent interference with the wireless charging. Have you had any issues with the magnet in the middle of the coil? This effects the electromagnetic field that is used to charge the phone. By no means am I suggesting that you're wrong, I'm more curious on your experience thus far since I love the clean look of your setup!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] jucytec:
my setup is well over a year old... thanks to this thread, i'm modding a new one using a different base...

as far is how the induction charging goes, the charging waves are in a form of a donut... it's got the least amount of power in the center of the coils. there's nothing wrong with having something in the middle of it as long as it's small enough. I have a good 5mm gap between the first coil to the perimeter of the magnet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] rudyo78427:
I just got the Nillkin quick charge vent mount and it works great. There are two thin metal strips that adhere to the back of the phone and don't need to block the charge area. This is by far the best magnetic vent mount I have used so far. And if you don't mind the thin'ist TPU case this works well with the Nature case they have! I'm using both and it's great! :D

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] osmosizzz:
I got one similar. Btw the nillkin you linked is not fast charging. I believe there aren't any fast charging vent wireless chargers/holders. Just standard charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] rudyo78427:
You are correct. It only outputs 1A of power. I have not been able to find a vent/magnet mount Qi quick charger on the market yet. I was thinking of building my own as you can source prebuilt units that can output 1.3-1.5Amps, but have to use a 9v adapter. Will still look around. :fingers-crossed:

Mod #2.

Here's Mod #2 using a new quick charger I found

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NADE1AC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It already has a hole in the middle so I just modded a vent clip and used the tetrax magnet to be flush with the surface. I might hit it with a second coat of plastic dip but otherwise i'm happy with the results.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] osmosizzz:
Seems cool. May end up doing the same because of the fast charger part. I the one I have doesn't fast charge and the downside is that while using the GPS, the battery drains as it doesnt give the phone enough power

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
So some of u might have caught it around. My note 5 has a bad usb port i ended up ripping it off the circut board a while back cause it thought while laying on a table i was plugging and unplugging it

well earlier today it shut off in my pocket and wont turn on at all nothing no modes.

so when i put it on the wireless charger it takes about 10 sec to diplay battery with lightning bolt but no wireless animation. sits there bout 4 sec then every 5 sec it does it again

if i hold any power mode button combos it will show my note 7 splash screen

so i figured mb failure replaced the mother board with my tmobile board and same thing

So i guess my question is Is the main power also on that usb circut board and finally shorted out.

by the way as soon as i rippe usb of 6 months ago i siliconed over the hole for the port so no moisture got in. and i didnt just rip the port off i carefully heated and unsoldered it.

Or is it a blown out battery it was at 97 % last time i checked at 10 1030 this mornin at say 11 it was turned off?
