[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] How do I revert everything back to what it was before? Is it safe to just uninstall all the apk and rom tuner and flash the original CSC from the unlocked U1 firmware in modified odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
Is it ok to install OTA updates after applying this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] rwood035:
Didn't work

How do I take my Unlocked phone back to stock? Now it seems as though I don't have the ability to make the changes in developer mode to make it recognized by PC or Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] seemcity:
To unlock the service mode on Verizon. You have root the phone, open root Explorer, efs, providers and service mode to ON from OFF, save and exit. Make sure that ON is in capital letters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
Anyone updated via Ota with this applied?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
You want to go back to stock or rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
Stock unlocked firmware, undo the changes made by this "patch".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
Just download the latest UI firmware from updato and flash with odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
Would that wipe everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
not if you flash the home csc file in odin instead of the other one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
So as long as I flash the home csc from the original stock firmware, it will not wipe everything, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] maliibu31:
Did you try it? If so, what does the Service Provider SW Ver show under About Phone? Mine says VZW/VZW/VZW and I cannot get the Menu to show after following these steps. I've successfully done it with my S7E on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
Wonder if there's a way to edit the csc file and flash it so it doesn't disable the service mode once you pop in a Verizon sim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] pules:
Worked for me. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] warriorpluto:
Does this erase the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
No.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] nd3:
Still work?

Hey, this is exactly what I need! Does it still work?

So, I got an unlocked S8+ from Samsung and I need to keep all the current features plus add the wifi-calling.. My model number is G955U1. Can someone verify that the procedures listed on page 1 are still valid?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] testinguser:
anyone try this on the s9?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
Works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] albertb:
Has anyone tried this on an unlocked S9?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
Oreo uses different files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] testinguser:
With oreo now trickling to s8 devices, I wonder if it'd be possible to get the required files to get wifi working on s9. Or perhaps someone with an s9 on carrier branded version can get the files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
I want to update to the official Oreo update for the unlocked US version. How do I uninstall this "patch"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
Install my samfail oreo rom you get all the benefits of unlocked firmware with the benefits of all working carrier functions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
I prefer completely stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
Well then you are not going to get wificalling and verizon visual voice mail and video calls working on oreo you will just have to live with what you have. You can always flash the csc from verizon us firmware and you can get a few more features possible video calling working but you will loose samsung cloud support and places tab and spam caller id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] anewday:
I thought the latest unlocked version has mult-csc support and will enable the services according to the sim used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
I just told you how it works. Flash for yourself and find out for yourself then you will know for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jxs714:
Hey bud,

Great job on the post, help and support. Upgraded to oreo and would like to know if this still works. If not, whats the alternative?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jxs714:
Hey guys,

No update at all for this thread?????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
The Wi-Fi calling is framework related now and video calling requires csc edits. I have told you before to try my samfail Oreo from it has all features of both unbranded and branded firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jxs714:
Hey buddy,

Thanks a lot for the response. A few questions:

- Does this trip knox?

- What happens with updates? Am I still able to update through samsungs updates without the phone crashing?

- Are there any risks doing this rom?

Please advise, thanks bud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
It does not trip Knox and updates will not install because the from is modified to allow Samsung cloud and call recording and all the other features that regular carrier firmware blocks. The from does have safetrap twrp recovery that you can boot into to flash updates that I modify to work and make backups and flash zips etc. As far as updates even if you would have been able to follow directions in this thread and get it to work you wouldn't have been able to receive updates because you were flashing a csc file from different firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jxs714:
Thanks for the info my friend. It sucks that we cant update without any issues. Will just stick with my original firmware or the original verizon if anything. Do you know how to prevent tether from being spotted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
Once again everything you ask for you can get on my oreo rom but you dont want too try. PdaNet+ will work for tethering
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jxs714:
Hey my friend,

Thanks for the response. I was planning to do it, but didnt you mention that I cannot update to the latest firmware updates for your rom unless we wait for an update patch from you? When I mean update, I mean the latest security updates, not the next rom version (Android P, etc) I am a bit confused now, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jrkruse:
Nope no updates can be taken and personally i would never take a security update from Samsung without knowing what it is. Contrary to popular belief most so called security patches aren't to your benefit like here is the month of May main security patch

SVE-2018-11552: Bootloader not to check an integrity of specially system image

Severity: High

Affected versions: N(7.x), O(8.0) devices with MSM8998 and SDM845 chipset

Reported on: February 24, 2018

Disclosure status: Publicly disclosed.

There was a vulnerability within the verification of Qualcomm MSM8998 and SDM845 bootloader and it may allow an attacker to bypass secure boot given the attacker gains root privilege.

The patch has been applied to properly check the integrity of system image.

Which killed samfail and patched phone from all further development . Seems they weren't worried about anything other than locking down your phone. So you go ahead and keep taking those security updates I choose to take what I want
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] tlb20ts:
will this also work for Samsung S9+?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] sam298:
I tried this method in the latest pie firmware for my Note 8 unlocked phone from Samsung.

I pulled Pie home csc file from Verizon firmware. Followed OP instructions. Only Verizon services apk installed. Others failed. Cleared cache, rebooted to bootloader, flashed vzw home csc file and rebooted.

Rom control app crashes when I click IMS settings - the IMS settings app needs no permissions though.

Wifi calling and texting works fine though as I now see wifi calling option under phone app.

But unfortunately no caller id (hiya) option in the phone and I lost Samsung cloud too. So I didn't find a way to have both wifi calling and free caller id in the same app. Going back to VZW firmware with bloat disabler.

[Nextbit Robin] nikkis4v:
Hi,

I just got my Nextbit Robin today after my Nexus 6 got broken screen. Super excited about the phone, I powered it up with sim card inside, added wifi and after there was a message about android system update which would be only downloadable via wifi.

Currently the situation is following, I've been on the Downloading update... screen for 4 hours. Status is Waiting to download. Wifi connection is excellent. It just simply doesn't start the download?!

I've been thinking other options as well, like flashing the nougat manually, but I'm not totally sure if its even possible because I cannot access the developer options to unlock oem + usb debugging.

Any advices? Totally lost with the case. I think it shouldn't take so long. I've tried to reboot the device, cache has been also cleared via recovery.

Any help greatly appreciated!
[Nextbit Robin] Nextbit_Khang:
After you rebooted the device, what happened?
[Nextbit Robin] nikkis4v:
It still got stuck as before with same Waiting to download message.
[Nextbit Robin] nikkis4v:
I've just made the factory reset and it doesn't seems to make any change regarding the download :/
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
https://help.nextbit.com/hc/en-us/articles/218638257-How-to-flash-back-to-the-stock-Nextbit-OS

I'd Recommend using the 7.0 Fastboot method as it will bring you up to date :3

I'm pretty sure you can manually factory reset by entering fastboot mode and going to stock recovery.. Either that or take out your sim and disconnect wifi after a reset to ensure it doesn't connect to the download server.. Then once in the os enable oem unlocking and then use the stock image I mentioned above :3 Just my two cents.. Hope it helps
[Nextbit Robin] xBane_:
What you can do (this COULD work, im not sure if nextbit's setup app has this implemented though, it should if it's based on AOSP) tap in each corner in a clockwise pattern, starting with the top left. (top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left) this should skip setup, allowing you to A: download the update while in the OS or B allow oem unlocking to flash the update via fastboot.
[Nextbit Robin] Lordcoca:
I just got a nextbit robin and am experiencing this same issue. I've tried rebooting several times, but it just hangs at waiting to download.
[Nextbit Robin] Sunilkumar.p:
Still shows downloading updates even after 12 hours......what to do???

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

Above tactic not working out....give me the solution pls.
[Nextbit Robin] jpop64:
i'm having same problem. Do you think the up date was nextbit update that is not being supported?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Manos.Lijeros:
Hi:

I am a new Tilt user, and I like the device (upgraded from an iphone--no thin-client phone for me...).

I am trying to upgrade the UI on the Tilt, and I have, I think, settled on the HTCHome6 -- 6 tab home screen.

There are several versions:

HTCHome6.cab - plain vanilla Home Screen;

a version modded by schen(?); and

a version modded by xplode(?).

Is there a site/page/something where I can see the differences between these versions? Or just get a summary?

Or..should I just cook the ROM? Similar question there though..a site describing the differences between all of the for the "new to ROM cooking?"

Thanks,

Manos

Good morning, I bought a second hand cell phone Hw p6 ascend, in excellent condition. I installed kingroot to make the corresponding root, the cell phone turned off and on as normal but when you run the bootimage and start with the configuration started to restart. Enter the recovey and do wipes to data / cache and dalvik cache, the cell passed to wifi and mail settings but I have been trying to wipes 4 days to force hard reset. In addition, I must wait until the battery is exhausted so that it turns off then on charge up to 7% level. How can I correct this error? If it will be the bootloader? thanks for your help.

Let us Discuss:

DL links atm:

AOSPA.co Official Download Website

PA Official Mirror Link

Arter97 Mirror Link

Gapps (Optional)

Beans' Gapps

Open Gapps

Paranoid Android Google+

Overall still skeptical about this because of the developments before being left out.

Anyway, what are your thoughts?
[Nexus 6P General] seangeezy12:
i ran a version of this...i think it was the DEV version...i like it...ive always like PA. im gonnna flash this in a few and report....
[Nexus 6P General] knevelsg-j:
Will you report here? if so, consider this a subscription! :D

Used PA a few times in the past and it has always been one of the smoothest and best running roms for me, so i'm very interested!
[Nexus 6P General] seangeezy12:
Will do !!
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
The real problem about it is the updates... will it be supported continuously or just 1 month. Considering PA's track records I doubt they will be able to sustain it for long. But I still have my fingers crossed.. Can you please do me a favor and install the HDLR camera zip found in the themes and apps forum in n6p and check if it works? if it does I will be flashing PA right away.

Also [MENTION=4312738]seangeezy12[/MENTION]2 please do check the kernel and grab a couple of screenies
[Nexus 6P General] oussamalabbize:

[Nexus 6P General] dwxvi:
I'm kinda sad. I've downloaded the rom twice now, and I've been clean flashing it, but my Nexus 6P boots up and then shortly freezes at the setup screen and reboots. It does this continuously. I'm using the latest BeansGapps, if that helps.

EDIT: I flashed just the ROM without Gapps and it works. Maybe my BeansGapps are corrupt and need to be re-downloaded. I'll give it a try.

EDIT 2: Okay, this ROM doesn't like BeansGapps. It restarted once, but it's chugging along the setup process just fine now.
[Nexus 6P General] yhwh111:
it is encrypted or not?
[Nexus 6P General] Geezerooo:
I used beans and it work fine.

It's not on the may updates yet though
[Nexus 6P General] galakanokis:
No issues with BeansGapps, worked fine from the get go.

So far so good, no issues at least. Will play around for the rest of the day and see how real world usage goes.
[Nexus 6P General] delmecca:
did you use the full or mini gapps package
[Nexus 6P General] troon95:
Flashed the rom with openGapps stock package, working fine for the moment. Looks promising but lacks extra features that other roms such as pure and RR have like hold power for flashlight and down right clear all button.

The MD5 hash for the rom file is CE696A1C396864B23F40A37CF9A4C5D6 if anyone is wondering.
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
Ever since MM PA isnt really about the features but more on the smooth side of the UI and a small handpicked own festures. Thats why before on MM I used some xposed modules to incorporate those small features I miss. Though this lack of features shouldn't be a bother to minimalists like me.

You'll need hangouts for SMS.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] brolin.reg:
Six-year necropost, I know, but have you tried using Google Fi with your G5? Actually, apparently the H840 is the G5 SE instead of the regular G5 but I do not know if that matters in this case, likely does not if the cellular modem is the same or sufficiently similar. I can say from my own experience that the H831, which is the variant of the regular G5 for Canada, worked with Google Fi for me in Minnesota in 2022 July but I never got Google Fi working normally once I returned to Canada. I have not left Canada again since then so I am still using Lucky Mobile in Canada but I still have my Google Fi account in case I will return to the USA because keeping the Google Fi account costs me almost no money because I keep the service almost always paused. I do not know if the departure of US Cellular from Google Fi, leaving only T-Mobile, in 2023 February affects the G5 on Google Fi in the USA. Does it? I guess not as long as T-Mobile is compatible with the G5 cellular modem.

I have flashed the ROM from the link you provided. Its a buggy ROM. NFC error is popping up making it impossible to navigate. So i had to unzip the ROM file and remove NFC folder. Again zipped back and flashed. This time i was able to navigate through settings. But SIM card wasn't getting detected. There was no Theming option for which Paranoid Android is famous. Its a ported Developer version and isn't completed. Wish someone could take it up and maintain !!!
