Yup downloaded latest Odin 3.12 and still get same error.

When you say stock do you mean flash the official firmware? Since I've had the phone I've only updated with official firmware from Samsung.

thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
Snapdragon is locked, Exynos can be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] revulv:
Do we know for sure this particular model (US Variant) is locked? A lot of hype built around the fact they went that route the first time...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, we do. Lots of people in the TWRP thread wondering why they can't unlock their phones too.

Basically you bought the wrong S8 if you care about easy dev stuff. Unlocking bootloader, rooting, ROMs, kernels, etc.

Now Verizon and Sprint users don't have a choice. Qualcomm has patents on CDMA modem technology and the Exynos variants don't have CDMA. BUT other carriers like AT&T or T-Mobile, Exynos would be better.

Or for Canadian users too. They got Exynos variant with bootloader unlock last year but this year got Snapdragon.

EXYNOS VARIANTS LTE BANDS:

LTE Bands: FDD: B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B13(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B20(800), B25(1900), B26(800), B28(700), B32(1500), B66(AWS- 3) | TDD: B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)

GSM/GPRS

850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz

3G/HSPA

850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz

You order off ebay, BUT make sure you choose a dealer who will disable the regional lock like Clove in UK does. Google Clove UK.

This time around SN 835 seems equal if not better than the exynos in terms of battery and speed. To bad we dont get root or.unlock bootloader
[Android Auto General] Bigkoala:
Hi,

I am restoring an older Mercedes and am considering using a Samsung Galaxy Note Table in my dash.

It would be nice to connect a reversing camera, but is this possible? I have found a reversing camera that uses a wifi connection.

But the problem with that is that the tablet drops any existing internet connection when it then connects to the wifi signal from the camera.

Ideally a wired camera connection would be best because it would show an instantaneous image.

Other than buying a head unit with camera connection, is it possible to wire in a camera to a tablet?

I could then use all of Android Auto Apps etc as well as a reversing camera all on the one screen.

Any suggestion?

Cheers

When I Press up or down on the volume rocker the volume jumps about 25% in either direction. It's 4 presses from one end of the volume to the other.

My son's s8+ doesn't do this. His moves in the typical small steps.

Anyone else have this?

I hope it's a setting or software. Not looking forward to doing an exchange.

Note we both have US Tmobile s8+. Mine is Silver, his is black. Neither has the update installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BabyJay:
I have the same problem. I don't remember touching any settings to make it do that.

You enabled something in accessibility settings thats screwing up the volume steps. Usually it's one of the Bixby removal apps but mine was a password vault. You may need to reboot after you figure what to turn off in accessibility settings.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philhalo66:
First things first my phone model is SM-S902L straight talk. the stock firmware is 4.4.2 and since i flashed 7.1 on here (lineageOS 14.1) i cannot flash the stock because of secure boot blocking it because you cant downgrade. Like an idiot i didnt backup the stock rom with TWRP, and from there my battery life is about 4 hours of use from full charge to being dead. On the suggestion of someone on reddit i flashed Resurrection remix and the battery life was a little better but still horrible. I came across a thread of someone saying they used the wrong rom and flashing the correct one fixed the battery life. so i just flashed the RR Remix KLTEVZW (FCC code said G900V at the end) and my battery seems to be lasting alot longer. i haven't installed any apps but just keeping the screen on im getting a good 5-10 minutes between each 1% battery drop. Before it was draining so fast just installing 5 apps from the play store i lost 8% battery. and playing pokemon go i was losing 1% battery every minute or 2 give or take.

Was the S5 battery life always crap? I mean my note 2 with its original battery lasts twice as long with cyanogen mod 13 if not more. Here is something interesting. When i started typing this out (about 30 minutes ago) the battery level dropped 2% and the life expectancy changed from 1 hours 51 minutes to approx 5 hours. Do you think the normal KLTE is an incorrect rom and KLTEVZW is the one i need?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
It depends on CPU states, CPU power and also battery life. No, not that battery life, but how old or if it is genuine or not. The Snapdragons are battery hoggers, Exynos phones always lasted longer because they are better low power devices, plus the Note 2 only had 1.6 GHz, while the S5 has 2.5GHz and more powerful software to shift, and the 1080p display which is the main issue. I thought you screwed it up and bricked your device, misleading title, so please edit it. Tell me if you want me to tell you more from my personal experience to shed some light on this.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] philliplavelle:
Hi everyone.

So for the first time, I plumped for insurance. Because I am so paranoid about breaking that screen on my S8+.

I've never had it before (I had Apple Care on my iPhone) and am just curious as to your experiences of T-Mobile's plan. I was toying with going with Samsung's Premium Care because it says they deliver a replacement to your door, but the Tmobile guy convinced me to try theirs instead.

What I'm wondering is what happens if you break the screen? (I'm guessing people did this with the S7E and the S6E).. Say I call Tmobile and tell them, do they make me send the phone off for repair or do they ship a replacement out to me and then we swap? I'm used to Apple Care where they would take the deductible and then just replace in store.

I believe the Samsung one is near to that (not in store, but they deliver the replacement to you) so wonder how T-Mobile vary. If it's the kind of thing where they are going to make me wait weeks to have it fixed, I'll cancel it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrJesseJay:
I've been. T Mobile customer since day 1. I've had the regular & jump insurance since I had my G1. I've only had to replace my phone 2 times since then. Once from theft and once from cracked screen both times i had to pay the premium which was around $100-$200 depending on the price of the phone. Once the replacement comes you send them the broken one. This time around I am trying out Samsung's Insurance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MacTheRipperr:
My insurance is included with my jump 1 program. T-Mobile uses a third party insurance company called Assurant. The deductible for for my S7 flat was $175. As the previous poster said, you fork out the dough, they send you a new or refurbished device along with a return shipping label. The newer the phone, the more likely you are to receive a brand new and not a refurbished device. The more expensive these devices get, the higher your deductible is going to be. I've never used another insurance before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] funziebear:
T mobile is doing it a bit different now for some reason if your device has defects they send the replacement to a tmobile store where they will inspect your phone before they give you the replacement its happen twice like this that ive seen . My sister just did it they just charged her the 5 dollar shipping fee since it was hardware issue but the guy said that their insurnace claims will be handled like that from now on , waste of personal time IMO but i guess saves them money from people trying to pull a fast one
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] neophilly:
This has been my experience as well regarding the process. I have been in a TMobile store when a huge argument have broken out regarding the need to replace a phone. So if I have any doubts I just say I lost it because I don't want any rep trying to be God.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] philliplavelle:
This is great - thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be in the situation where I called them to say I had a smashed screen, they sent me a returns label and then I had to send the phone off and wait three weeks for it to be fixed or anything like that.

Do they tend to issue replacements fairly quickly? I'm on the policy with Jump. Not that I have any intention of using it but I'm paranoid about this screen!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] funziebear:
yeah if its during the week and you call early enough its usually next day two days tops
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tengtengvn:
That's the warranty exchange process. I agree. Completely waste of time.

For the insurance claim, once approved, they ship the replacement phone overnight to the house.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] raw2000j:
I did warranty exchange 2 times and paid $5 bith times shipped to my house and when I recieved it I sent old one back
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xile6:
you gotta make a claim with the insurance company.

They will charge you whatever the deductible is. You pay that and they send you a phone next day air.

Get that new phone and put the old one back in the box and return it. All prepaid labels.

You can do this 2 times a year.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SlickNGU:
I just got my claim approved. Seeing as the s8+ juts came out, do you think I'll get a brand new device or a refurbished? Do you think it will be the same color as my current one?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xile6:
Has to be the same color and it will be new.

Mall my phones have been new (well wife's lol, i havent broken mines)

She drop her note 7 right after the first exchange and had to file a claim and got the phone overnight the next day.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfred56:
Hi

I tried everything to restore this phone back to stock, but every fast boot command fails.

Motorola drivers are installed on my pc, they are version 6.4 64 bit.

I put my device into Fastboot Flash mode by pressing power+volume down, adb interface shows in device manager.

Then I can do fastboot devices and it returns: "TA986029AY fastboot"

When I run adb devices it returns:

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

No devices are listed.

Does anyone know why fastboot works and not adb?

Bootloader is unlocked.

I did this by:

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

Concatenated the strings

Went to Motorola site to get a unique ID

fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY

When I turn on the device, it displays a message that the bootloader is unlocked.

My fastboot/adb tools are from google, the latest. I just downloaded the android sdk tools using command line sdkmanager.

I downloaded this firmware:

XT1039_PEREGRINE_VFEU_5.1_LPBS23.13-17.3-1_cid7_CFC.xml

I am not sure if it the right one since I am not able to get into settings in the phone about phone since it is displaying a black screen.

Is there a fastboot command that would reveal this?

Before flashing I run: fastboot -w

It outputs this:

(bootloader) slot-count: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

wiping userdata...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type raw not supported.

wiping cache...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type raw not supported.

erasing 'userdata'...

OKAY [ 0.063s]

erasing 'cache'...

OKAY [ 0.063s]

What is a (bootloader) slot-count: not found?

Does not look right.

Then I run these commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

They all succeed, but they still show (bootloader) slot-count: not found.

Reboot the phone, I still have a black screen.

I also tried:

fastboot update XT1039_Retail_EU_444_Untouched.zip

(bootloader) slot-count: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

error: update package 'XT1039_Retail_EU_444_Untouched.zip' has no android-info.txt

What is an android-info.txt file? I think the zip file above is wrong, where do I get a stock firmware image file with android-info.txt file?

I am totally lost for now.

I need some GURU that can help me here.

Thank you in advance

Thank you for your reply sdembiske.

I cannot use adb since no devices are listed when I issue the adb devices command. This has been tried with the Motorola drivers and also the universal adb drivers for the adb interface in device manager.

fastboot/mfastboot work.

How do I transfer the recoverytwrp2-8-7.img or cm-12.1-20150725-UNOFFICIAL-peregrine.zip to my mobile since I cannot use adb sideload?

Can this be achieved via fastboot?

Motorola fastboot is specifically for Moto devices ...

Motorola fastboot

is specifically for Moto devices.

Search and download this: "mFastboot-v2 - XDA Forums - XDA Developers" - install it and try it. It is not regular adb fastboot and will often work on Moto devices when adb fastboot won't. If it works, you should be able to push your file to your SD card - failing that flash a system image if you can get a hold of one - start with the site I referenced in my first post and ask for help.

Failing all that, try FWUL on XDA (https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755), burn it to a flash drive and boot it up on your computer and plug your phone in. If you have issues using it, post to steadfasterX (it's his site and has been very helpful in my dealings with him).

That's all I got for you.

when I go into recovery and select adb sideload.

I downloaded this ota package:

But when I try to upload it I get:

adb sideload failed to verify signature

Obviously I have the wrong OTA package.

Where can I download totally Motorola stock OTA images for XT1039 LTE either KitKat 4.4 or Lollipop 5.1?

I searched everywhere I cannot find them or the links are broken.

I already tried with mFastboot-v2 and use the zip files that contain the xml file.

Everything succeeds but after I reboot I get optimizing apps 1 of xxx and then blank very dark grey screen.

It sounds like your install of TWRP was successful ... but ...

From the TWRP site: https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotog2014lte.html

Note

many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot.

To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP.

If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install

.

Try again and follow their suggestion

The mismatched partition size (recovery) can be ignored. It looks like TWRP successfully installed. The slot count reference has been attributed to a newer version of adb (can't confirm) but doesn't seem to impact from my understanding.

Did you ... after the install and immediately After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP ?

Read the following post by senior member cam1john, that I've copied and pasted from XDA: https://xdaforums.com/moto-e/help/moto-e-unlocked-wont-to-twrp-screen-t3333443/page3

I got this error time after time: "(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found"

Didn't work didn't work, and I couldn't do anything else cause I was following directions.

Then I tried:
