How hard is it to go to updato https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-G950U

Get stock firmware of choice, load up offical odin, and bl to bl ap to ap cp to cp home_csc to csc. Check nand erase and flash. When phone reboots 2 times and you are at stock setup. Profit. Done. This works 100% of the time for all us base s8 and s8+.

Thanks for putting this together. Once I get to step 15 I keep getting the error "process.com.android.phone has stopped". I click OK and proceed to IME and enter in the numbers even though the error pops up every couple seconds. Once it gets to the screen to select XAC, before I can even select anything it automatically reverts me back to the home page. Anyone else run into this issue?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] alirz:
posted this is another thread also. Trying to get some help.

I am a bit lost after reading all the threads. I have a Canadian S8+ from my carrier. Its has NO carrier bloat.

Im just looking to run an unlocked firmware on it so that i can get updates directly from Samsung and perhaps also be able to jump on the Oreo Beta bandwagon etc.

Is that something that can accomplished by simply changing a CSC code or something? Or do i need to flash the whole XAA US build to be unlocked and then likely lose smart caller ID, Samsung Pay etc....?

do i need t simply flash the latest 955U1 firmware? Do i need some special CSC Home file etc? Thank you

Haven't used Odin or flashed a Samsung phone in quite some time. I have a ATT S8 that is unlocked. I want to simply run 950U1(unlocked firmware) to get rid of carrier branding and bloat. I only have access to a Mac computer(using JOdin). I have downloaded the firmware but I only get BL and AP file when unzipping. And this older version of Odin on mac is asking for a PIT file. Should I just get access to a PC lol Maybe its not possible on Mac.

This may not be the right thread, but I looked around and the ATT S8 forum is baron.

Lol all i did was flash with the non-modded ODIN and left all the options on default. All i did was just put the files (AP,CSC,BL,etc.) in their places and it went through in under 5 minutes but for some this may be helpful so it's still good you made this thread if my method didn't work for others

Thanks for this thread! Was looking for something to get rid of that horrible TMobile splash screen. On the 950u1, does stock visual voicemail work? Like the native built in visual voicemail?

I went ahead and loaded the factory binary as per the first few steps and rebooted into bootloader mode after the factory binary loads. I'm getting an error when I try and load the EngBoot using modded Odin. I can't read the whole error because my eyes are too old but it says Error sw rev check fail: [can't read] Fused 5 > Binary 1 in part of the message that I can see.

HTC’s official response to a “drivers issue”

From PhoneMag

HTC is committed to delivering a portfolio of devices that offer a wide variety of communication, connectivity and entertainment functionality. HTC does not offer dedicated or optimized multimedia devices and can confirm that its Qualcomm MSM7xxx-based devices do not use ATI’s Imageon video acceleration hardware.

HTC believes the overall value of its devices based on their combination of functionality and connectivity exceeds their ability to play or render high-resolution video. These devices do still provide a rich multimedia experience comparable to that of most smartphones and enable a variety of audio and video file formats. HTC values its customers and the overall online community of mobile device enthusiasts and fans. HTC plans to include video acceleration hardware in future video-centric devices that will enable high resolution video support.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] guest3:
It is interesting to hear that the Tytn II does not use ati imageon. When Tcpmp was loaded onto my hermes it would have a ati imageon option under options > video.

Now on the Kaiser there is no option at all for ati imageon.

Im not the most knowledgeable on this board regarding software, but does tcpmp "search" for the hardware on the device when it is installed?

They don't say it's not THERE, they just say they don't USE it.

And, it IS there, it is an integral part of the Qualcomm MSM7200 chip, who licenced the technology from ATI. You can't rip out part of a chip, and neither can HTC :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sub69:
OR.... "its Qualcomm MSM7xxx-based devices do not use ATI’s Imageon video acceleration hardware"

Depends how you read it really. Doesn't say the acceleration hardware isn't there though.

Bottom line is still that HTC are currently doing sod all, and apparently aren't intending to do anything, either.

Hi all,

My wife's S7 Edge (SM-G935F) was updated a couple of days ago, and now the phone constantly reboots (not sure if related).

I have tried factory resetting, wiping cache in recovery, and still the same thing. I have managed to get it to turn on, but it still reboots shortly after. Mostly it doesn't even start, just goes into boot-loop

Not rooted, and in great condition.

Any ideas what to try?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Zoidy:
have also got the same problem since the last OTA update from Samsung. My current version is G935FXXU1DQD7. I'm just downloading the later version DQHF to see if that resolves the issue.

A short term fix is to delete the cache from the system menu (when powering on with power button, home button and volume up button). It sometimes takes me 3 attempts to get into this menu to do the cache delete. After I have deleted the cache I can use the phone again, but it sometimes crashes and starts the boot loop when using certain apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AllSmokeEm:
I had this once even after fresh flash.

I deleted the cache when booting up.

Then factory reset when booting up..

Then when done i could flash it and solved it for me.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bashok:
Hello everyone.

I'm on a T-Mobile ONE plan and I've been abroad for almost 6 months now and for the past 5 months everything was working smoothly until this past month I've been getting some very annoying issues.

1) WiFi Calling no longer works and only works very rarely once every couple days for only a few hours. I keep getting the error message: ER081 - Unable to connect. This happens no matter which router i'm connected to.

I called T-Mobile about it and they said this was a known issue by Samsung. Samsung gave them a list of things to go by to try and troubleshoot the issue with a master reset being the last resort (which I cannot do). There are no timelines for if an update will be released that will fix this issue.

2) International Roaming no longer works 100% of the time. I keep getting a "No Service" notification with the message "Selected network (Vodafone) not available". (even though it shows 5 full bars). I have to constantly shutdown or pull out the battery and remove the SIM card, put it all back and turn the phone on for the network to come back again. However, this fix is very temporary as the error message comes back either after a few hours or after a few minutes (some times just 1 min!).

During the same T-Mobile call, we ran through a bunch of troubleshooting stuff but nothing was fixed and everything seems fine on their end. My SIM card was in good condition, networks are available, etc.

Are there any known solutions to fixing these issues or do I have to through in the towel and purchase a new phone?

Thank you,

Hi! My first post.

Is it possible to tweak your phone so Google recognizes your device as totally new? How can I sweep all data from my phone so Google won't recognize it after "cleaning it"?

Is it possible to change Device ID, GUID, Phone Model, Google Advertising ID etc in one "click" or with one tool/app? I know that I need to root my phone...but please recommend me tools/apps I need.

There is Bluestacks Tweaker which does things I named above...

Why I need this:

I was able to make 5 Google accounts WITHOUT PHONE VERIFICATION from each Android phone I have at home (4 phones to be exact) and after making 5 Google accounts without phone verification Google started to ask for phone verification (same for all phones). After that, I did reset to factory settings, but Google still asks for phone verification (obviously Google know my phones).

I know it's not IP issue.

So guys, please let me know your ideas - what I need to do to "hide" myself from Google (if it's even possible)? What data do I need to remove/replace/tweak to make my phone brand new for Google?

All the best!
