[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] :
1)I know when your rooted you will not able to get OTA updates but just wait for other users with same issue solves there problem in upcoming official updates so that you will unroot your device later and get OTA which fixes deep sleep

2)Flashing kernel is not a great deal only you need to verify if it actually supports your device model no only

3)As S8+ just came out,it will take some time for developing kernels or custom roms but Still as your already rooted now install TWRP if supported by your device and give a try to any custom rom like Nemesis one which i guess have deep sleep fixed

4)You can find sources for TWRP, Kernels as well as Custom Roms in S8+ android development thread

5)Read the installation instructions carefully, make sure your device is supported by kernel/rom OR ask question like that in Rom or Kernel thread etc to overcome further possible bricking
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Andrewtst:
Wait Sammobile release full firmware and later you can flash back.

Since root also is very new to you, I suggest you read more. Don't bother to play with custom kernel, custom kernel won't untrip the Knox, the Knox once trip it is permanent. You can unroot back in future and get OTA in future but the trip of Knox is no way to revert back. At least not for now.

If the Knox can revert back then it is very useless already as it defect the purpose on it.

thanks for all the advise :)

it is pretty daunting when you haven't done anything like this before but i am enjoying some of the apps that need root, especially lucky patcher :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] widget2k13:
wouldnt putting stock rom back on then re rooting it not just break the deep sleep again ?

Is anyone having issues with their external storage (micro SD) not mounting on the H918 version?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] stangdriver44:
+1

I hadn't noticed that yet, but since you brought it to our attention I went ahead and checked for myself.

I can confirm there is a mount issue for sdcard.

I flashed back to previous TWRP version and sdcard mount is fine.

I'm sure it will get worked out soon.

Thank yoi for the find.

Also thank you to [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] for your contributions to this device and community!

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:
Can I get some more information regarding this? how is it not mounting, mtp? in general? What is your FileSystem on the sdcard?

I need more information regarding this bug. my tester did not encounter this and I just looked through his log he sent me and i see no issues with external sdcard. It reads his sdcard and even gives me filesystem information. He is able to mount it properly and add and remove files through mtp. Can either you or Angryman PM me and ill give you my HO so we get get this resolved quicker?

Please tell me this is a joke?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheLoonyRebel:
My file system is ExFat. On your 3.1.0.0 it's simply not letting me mount external storage (micro SD) at all when I got into mount and it shows 0 file size when I try to select storage. As noted the previous TWRP for the H819 has external storage working for me.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:

Okay just flashed on my 918 exactly as OP instructed and now i can't boot into TWRP. Seems like i lost recovery. Any ideas?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] x_curtis:
This is awesome!!!

Question, are there any other advantages aside from backing up & restoring?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:
That is an odd issue. How are you trying to boot into twrp? have you tried "adb reboot recovery" from your system? I have cross flashed the h918 onto my ls997 using this method and it still boots fine. If you did indeed lose your recovery pm me and ill help you get it going again.

[MENTION=2792898]pbedard[/MENTION] The reason we act like this to you is because you always cause issues. you dont read OP threads and spread lies. I was told you were a problem on the Note 4 as well. so it isnt the devs. its you.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:
For our specific devices i have noticed that backups and restores are much quicker. For the elsa devices there was still static on boot however [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] did a neat little trick of blanking the screen on boot so it would fix that static. I have added the proper device tree fixes to the kernel twrp uses so that no longer is there. The kernel and device trees are fully updated as of release so its the latest and greatest.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Dylanballardlgv20:
I had the same issue. Wouldnt boot to recovery so i just used the twrp apps flash recovery function to flash back to 3.0.2-1
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] x_curtis:
I noticed the backup speed after you replied, it IS noticeably quicker. I've been on AOSP's for a bit but I'll try out stock rom's to check out the boot up. Thanks for the new recovery :D
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] drenacrom:
Hello all right there! This is my first post here, I hope I won't make too many errors :)

So, here's the topic! I just got my new Huawei P9 lite (Europe) and I (almost) immediately applied the stock update to Nougat. But now I can only register the screen in SD! With EMUI 4.1, when I wanted to start a registration, the phone allowed me to choose between HD and SD during the countdown. Now with EMUI 5.0 it just does the countdown without offering any option and all the videos are taken with resolution 432x768.

I digged into the settings but I was not able to find anything.

Has anyone observed the same? Any idea how to solve this (if possible)?

Many thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
Hey,

I got my Galaxy Tab S3 today and to my surprise, Youtube videos and Twitch streams have black bars on top and bottom of the video. I knew the S3 had a 4:3 ratio before I purchased it, but I didn't think that it would affect video playback.

My question is if there is a way to make it show 16:9 videos without black bars at top and bottom?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Zimus:
You could chop off some of the stuff on the sides and convertting the video to a 4:3 format. Shouldn't have any bars that way...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
I guess I just bought the wrong tab for viewing videos. The black bars is annoying as hell for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Surely you realise it's impossible to fit a 16:9 image within a 4:3 screen without either compressing the image vertically or chopping the sides off?

Mxplayer will let you adjust the ratio to whatever you want if you wish to fill the screen.

If you want true 16:10 then the Tab S is still the best option.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Zimus:
Try this:

* Jedi hand-wave* These are not the black bars you are looking for.

In the event of a sub-par connection to The Force, you could try watching in a sufficiently dark room to trick your mind into not seeing the black bars.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
That didn't work. :)

I went with Ashyx's suggestion and found a cheap used Tab S. The screen is about the same just with 16:9 aspect ratio.

I'm only going to use it for movies/series, watching streams and Youtube. Don't need all the other fancy specs the S3 has for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
I honestly didn't think it would matter. I thought it was just a matter of using a program to change the aspect ratio and resolution to go with it and it would work. Like on a PC monitor or TV. Tried that and didn't work like I thought it would.

I went with your suggestion and found myself a Tab S 10.5 for cheap. I only care about the screen and not the other specs. Only difference between the S3 and S is the aspect ratio and HDR capable. I get my HDR fix on my TV.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Dont play the the Tab S down too much it is still a formidable device and still the best looking tablet of all the Tab S line.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
Probably the best 16:9 screen of all the tablets out today as well. I take amoled over lcd any day with a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Zimus:
The Tab S is still a great tablet, with a plethora of custom ROMs. If the battery in mine could hold a charge for more than 30min of light usage I wouldn't have upgraded to the S3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] zetajunkie:
This is exactly the reason I decided on the tab s3. My tab s 8.4 is a great unit plugged in, but dead within an hour or so doing anything other than playing poweramp with the screen/wifi off. It does amuse me that 16:9 content on the S3 is only a little bigger than on my 8.4, but the faster specs are nice for casting Kodi or Amazon Video content to the tele.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
You own both tabs. Is there a noticeable difference between the quality of the screens?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Zimus:
I prefer the screen on my old Tab S 10.5 to the one on my Tab S3. It has a higher resolution (2560x1600 vs 2048x1536) and pixel density (288ppi vs 264ppi).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] zetajunkie:
I think they both look good. I can't say I notice the ppi difference, but I don't exactly bury my face into the screen. I prefer the 16:10 ratio and the tab s 8.4 size, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any decent spec'd tablets currently available.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Stonga:
I have both now.

Side by side when playing a 60fps youtube video, the image movement is smoother on the S3 compared to the Tab S, but the black bars is gone.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcnext:
I have been getting this error lately, does anyone know how to resolve it? This is on a Verizon LG G4 running stock Android.

When searching google for this error, there are lots and lots of results and some of them are quite old. So it is hard to determine which solutions to try.

So far I have tried clearing the data cache on contacts and google maps.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
You may have to try ...

You may have to try ... a factory re-set (Settings - Backup & Restore), unfortunately. Use an app first to back up text messages and make sure you are backing up to your google account before doing the factory re-set to be able to restore all your apps, contacts, etc.

Good luck,

S.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
you can try factory reset if it doesnt work then use KDZ firmware for your variant verizon and flashs with LGUP.

just make sure that you flash the correct KDZ.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcnext:
A factory reset is a lot of work though. I am going to try disabling Verizon bloatware (DT ignite, VZ Navigator, NFL Mobile, etc) and removing other installed software first to see if this helps. It would be nice to know more about what this error message actually means.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Yes, it can be ...

Yes, it can be ... for an explanation of what the error may be (it was my first thought as well) and some other possible solutions you may not have come across or tried yet, check this out: https://www.quora.com/What-is-android-process-acore

The factory-reset may in the end, be less work than disabling/ troubleshooting every app, one by one - doing more than one at a time will not help you isolate the problem ... in the event it recurs.

S.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
i think it wont work.. youll end up factory reset.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcnext:
Update: the android.process.acore error is gone for now anyway.

I got another error saying unfortunately contacts storage has stopped. This error stopped happening after I disabled the Verizon messaging plus app on the G4.

I believe the carrier bloatware is a source of system instability. Next phone will be an unlocked LG G6, hopefully it will run better.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Vvh:
Google Store purchased, currently have root and twrp installed, bootloader unlocked.

I read briefly that to accept the new update and keep root, you have to mess with the bootloader? Is there some sort of simplified guide on this?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Thanks to chainfire, there is a guide for updating to may version and keep may bootloader.

First, you have to flash new factory image or sideload the ota

Let it reboot, now you lost recovery, custom kernel, root etc..

Reboot to bootloader and boot to twrp, flash supersu and the zip provided by chainfire for signing the bootloader

Reboot and you should have root with may update

If you want a custom kernel or twrp you should flash the zips and the verification tool, i didn't understand the right process for this, for me it looped a couple of times but after flashing those files a bunch of times in different orders it succesfully booted with no errors.

I'm currently running stock 7.1.2 may update with supersu 2.79 SR3, TWRP 3.0.1 RC1, franco kernel r15 with no errors, everything running perfectly
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pstgh:
Where can we get the May ota download and a refresher on sideloading it? I've done that before but don't do it often enough to get through it quickly... currently running 7.1.2 / NHG47K on my Google bought Pixel which has been unlocked, and rooted. Though I've not installed TWRP, I can bootload into it fine....

My phone app has suddenly started acting all wonky, so I'd really like to update and see if that will help straighten things up.

Thanks for the assistance...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pstgh:
Got the May ota and will now sideload it. Where is this 'guide' that you mentioned Chainfire has setup to assist folks handling the May update?? I'd like, specifically, to get a copy of the zip file that signs the bootloader.

Thanks!!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] DMCShep:
I am wondering also. Still using NDE63P from October, wasn't aware we could take OTA's at all and keep root. Been having so many Bluetooth issues, it's worth a shot given their focus on it a month or so ago.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pstgh:
Well... up until this recent May ota release, it used to be pretty easy to simply download the latest Superuser zip file and re-install it on your phone, thereby re-establishing root access (assuming your phone is / was unlocked and rooted prior to taking the update). That is not the case going forward.... but I am still researching it.... follow along by looking here: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/signing-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] DMCShep:
Oh wow, that's super easy. Sweet! Now I need to find out where the past OTA's are so I can flash all of those...

I'm going to give all that a try soon, if anyone following this thread needs help or has questions, feel free to reply here with them.

To dumb down that entire OP into the reason why it's needed: the OTA's being sent out up through April 2017 was just the OTA itself. In May, they started requiring them to be encrypted with a certificate, but didn't provide requirements on from whom the certificate comes from. This means that now, instead of just flashing the ZIP, you first encrypt it with your own certificate and then flash the result of that.

They mention the private keys can be discarded later, given they are generated for the sole purpose of uploading OTA's to the phone, I would think keeping them on the internal SD card of the phone itself would be suitable. Heck, zip those puppies up and email them to yourself, they're not being used for security, why not, right?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pstgh:
Try here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Just sideload the latest... you only need one ;)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Yes, the first link is the ota repositories, download the zip of may, then put it in the adb folder, reboot to recovery, go in advanced menu and start sideload, without wipe cache or dalvik.

Then in cmd just type "adb sideload <name-of-the-ota.zip>"

Let it finish both steps and reboot, then you are ready to boot to twrp and flash supersu and the zip v3 from chainfire's thread for signin the bootloader.

That's it
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pstgh:
Agree. Pro tip: after downloading the proper ota update, rename it to something simpler so you can more easily enter that adb sideload ota-filename.zip command!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] exad:
better pro tip: tab auto completes the filename.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] DMCShep:
Expert pro tip: shift+right click the file, "Copy As Path", paste into the terminal.

(I use ConEmu, so right-clicking the terminal itself pastes what's on the clipboard; some Linux distros do this also Command Prompt I think right click is done on the title bar or some obscure thing like that, can't remember).
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pstgh:
Expert pro tip: shift+right click the file, "Copy As Path", paste into the terminal. -

I like this one but when I tried it, fyi, it pastes the path with quote marks on either end.... which is burdensome ;)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] DMCShep:
Quotes are accepted in the adb commands. Without them, each space in the path is interpreted as an argument delimiter.

adb some-command C:\Program Files\Some-Program\Main.exe

passes "C:\Program" and "Files\Some-Program\Main.exe" as two different arguments to adb. Surrounding​ it with quotes instead allows adb to use the full path correctly. Common practice with command-line apps, although not universally supported.

It does work with adb/fastboot though, just did it a couple days ago to upgrade my Huawei Watch with the Wear 2.0 OTA that it kept failing to detect was available.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Hi i was just wondering for the people who have bought this phone on the 3UK network are any of you getting 4g supervoice (Volte)

because whenever i make a call the phone drops to 3g to make the call and then goes back to 4g after finishing the call. I have been intouch with 3 support but they dont seem to understand my question. Also i cannot find anything in settings to enable enhanced 4g calling so it seems this is not implemented at least not in my phone.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] JohnDevol:
The Three version of the software does not have any settings (that I can find) for 4G Supervoice. I believe the generic ROM has VOLTE settings though. You can check on the Three website to see if you are in a Supervoice area and that's all I can find. http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/network/4G-Supervoice

I suppose as far a Three are concerned it just works.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] philje123:
It never worked from day one.

I then updated to the stock ROW nougat and I now have the settings for VOLTE but it still doesn't work.

Following the guide through their site shows my phone is compatible and I am in a super voice area. But clicking the link to download a software update doesn't show up anything useful.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] sam00561:
I'm hoping you can help me I cannot update to nougat using the official nougat firmware through stock recovery method. I know I've done everything right naming the package to update.zip. when I get to install from zip I get an error can't because of card is encrypted but it is not I've formatted and tried 4 times don't know where I'm going wrong.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] waj1234:
Format it on a laptop/PC and download the update with a PC too as the phone encrypts the sd card.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] philje123:
