[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Actually I do want to become TMB and I did flash the correct firmware for T-Mobile. I think original owner used something such as "Eng boot or factory binary" to go into service menu and change CSC to XAA. There is another interesting thing. When I go to about page, under Service Provider SW it shows G950U, but the rest of the phone is G892U. < I can't get rid of this!

1) Is there a way for me to maybe get Factory binary file which will allow me to change CSC? I did fine combination file, but it was for v2 bootloader, mine is v3 at the moment.

OR

2) Nand erase will do something good and erase the flash memory, unless nand option doesn't erase a specific memory location in the phone responsible for CSC.

Also, how can flashing a phone not do much in terms of really changing something in the firmware? I have not seent this before. I even tried flashing USERDATA file, thinking I would get T-Mobile's bloatware, but it didn't, not even TMB boot logo.

Its seems like there are some problems for downloading apps from play store like freezing downloading or server error, here are what you could try:

1. Install opera vpn, touch vpn, or other vpn apps from other source (ie: apkmirror)

2. Go to settings, apps (or intalled apps, in difference os)

3. Go to google play store and clear data then force stop

4. Restart your device

5. Go to google play store again in setting then clear data again

6. Connect to vpn app you have downloaded before

7. Open to google play store, enjoy!!!

8. If this problem appear again just using vpn first before download

I've tried on many devices and ui/os

Respond ASAP please.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Hello, The LCD Screen Digitizer Assembly for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 and i9305 is totally the same ! BUT, please note that both frames (Front cover) are not the same. If you want to only replace the lcd display and front touch glass, then i9300 and i9305 are the same. However, if you want to replace the lcd screen digitizer with frame together, then i9300 and i9305 are not compatible. Because the frame structure is not identical.

I found that in an android forum after doing a stray google search.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] pooniaprashant:
Many devices tend to loose picture quality when unlocked, it never happened to me with my previous devices but I need to ask to users here if it will happen with the g4 plus,

I am talking about the picture quality in stock ROM here, will an unlocked bootloader affect the picture quality of stock ROM?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
Unlocking the bootloader does nothing (zero changes) to the actual system files. It won't affect the "quality" of pictures.

The only time when, after unlocking, picture quality decrease is when using a ROM/firmware that doesn't integrate the correct blobs for camera or the native app - this is the case with some (most) CM/Lineage ROMs.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] nlpl931:
Unlocking the bootloader will not affect the picture quality. Changing ROMs can affect picture quality though :confused:, depending on the libraries and the camera app. I faced the same issue initially, but eventually it got better.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] pooniaprashant:
Thanks for your answers ?

Couple of questions

1. Is the 22/5 build of LOS stable, means is everything working?

2. Can I relock bootloader and reclaim warranty?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] nlpl931:
Haven't tried LOS but as far as the second question is concerned, it's better you keep your bootloader unlocked since problems may arise with locked bootloader and custom ROM, and AFAIK you cannot flash any custom file with a locked bootloader. Plus you won't gain much by locking your bootloader...(correct me if I have stated anything wrong)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
In addition to what nlp931 has mentioned, re-locking your bootloader will not recover your warranty. Motorola has a record of the unlocking and thus voiding of the warranty - there are reports of some users re-locking their devices and being able to claim warranty repairs. How much of that was up to the discretion of the service centre, the repair performed or simply looking at the receipts (rather than checking the IMEI), I don't know. Also, relocking (and unlocking again) may wipe your device.

I concur though that re-locking a bootloader is only advisable with stock firmware - given the verification checks performed at boot, having anything custom (be it recovery, system or kernel) may trip those checks and render your device unable to boot!

Having a quick look through the posts around the 22/05 LineageOS release, looks like there's not much in the way of bugs (call recording isn't working still, it seems) and Moto camera won't work without deleting of .jar files (or you could flash the patched camera app https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-motorola-camera-t3596659). Additionally, as mentioned above in the thread, the camera quality may be subjectively different to stock. If you're looking to theme LineageOS, there's the OMS version too with Substratum support: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/unofficial-lineageoms-14-1-athene-t3598237 I don't think the OMS and official builds are compatible with each other though (on a side note, the OMS build is newer than the official build at the moment :))

Oh, as with any custom ROM, if you've got a G4 Plus, ensure you've updated to Nougat before flashing the custom ROM, else you're likely to run into fingerprint enrolment issues....
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
1. When you unlock the bootloader, you provide the serial to Lenovo in exchange for the unlock code. And you will click on a agreement that says that you will loose the warranty. They keep that record on their servers, re-locking will not erase that.

2. With any LOS firmware you will have issues with camera, the drivers for that are proprietary, you are stuck using generic drivers.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmor0:
Dear forum members - need help/ advice urgently.

I Titanium deleted/ froze some Samsung Gear/ S Voice/ S Health files this morning as I thought these were surplus to my requirements.

I restarted my device (after installing exposed module AdAway reborn) - since then, on my Note5 unlock-screen (which has fingerprint activation) the keyboard is missing - during the 1st screen unlock after a reboot, my Note5 usually prompts me to input my back-up password instead of accepting fingerprint unlock, after this 1st unlock then fingerprint screen unlocking will work fine for any subsequent screen unlocks (as long as phone is not rebooted).

But now the only "keyboard" I get in the unlock screen is a microphone symbol with "Tap the mic button to speak" message (nothing happens with this mic anyway when I try to use it); also at the bottom of this "keyboard" is a row of buttons (back/comma/full-stop/? mark/space/globe-type symbol/Delete/Return) which do not register in the password space anyway.

So I cannot get past the unlock screen anymore!!! I must have accidentally froze/deleted some component of the Samsung keyboard.....?

Please help somebody.....:crying:

It is strange that Samsung keyboard is no where to be found anymore.....:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mystixor:
Really? And I always thought it was due to flashing a new firmware...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Nope, flashing new official samsung firmware won't trip Knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mystixor:
Well what I wanted to stress wasn't that a custom firmware trips Knox but that KingRoot does not flash a new firmware and therefore potentially does not trip Knox. All it uses is an exploit to change some specific root-determining system files.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
Knox detects if system files are changed, it is simply not possible to change or modify any system files in any way without tripping Knox. So if you managed to use any sort of 3rd party application to root (not possible currently), the application would trip Knox, because it modifies system files.

The Knox security bombproof to the level that a physical fuse is blown inside the phone when Knox is tripped, meaning there is no way to un-trip Knox through software once it's been tripped. It's possible to fool the ROM to think that it's not tripped (like some S8 ported ROMs, to enable secure folder), but warranty can never be restored, as the Knox counter in download mode can't be tricked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] skinza:
It was possible

Kingroot used to work on s6 you could root with knox intact and use all root features only thing that would trip knox was custom recovery and/or rom

Wish it could be done with s8
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
That was over 2 years ago, when you could use root tools to reset the counter back to not tripped. Nowadays the security is much more strict, and there's a physical fuse inside the phone that gets blown when Knox is tripped. Knox isn't a bootloader-only thing anymore, now it scans system files to see any third party tampering, and gets tripped if it's detected.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] B3501:
Yep, Knox is totally solid these days. Its impossible to not trip it when rooting. F*** it and root the phone anyway, if it breaks ill claim it on insurance not through warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] skinza:
There was no need to reset anything i rooted used some tweaks then when i restored my knox was still 0x0

I never phiscally reset anything

Even while i was rooted my phone still said 0x0
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
I didn't mean that, I meant that if you rooted with a method that worked through bootloader (Not kingoroot), you still could restore Knox to not tripped through root tools. Knox security used to be that simple to bypass, nowadays it's impossible to revert once tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
Having successfully rooted two HTC devices and a Samsung devices in the past and loved every minute of it, I was kinda excited when Kingroot props said it was possible to root the later Notes... but I never did my old Note 4, partially but not primarily because of the Knox issue.

I've heard different things RE: Knox, pretty much covers what everyone else has been saying here (no way to reset Knox, possible to reset Knox, "soft-root" via Kingroot trips/doesn't trip Knox counter, etc.) Personally, since the Note 4 issue where (correct me if I'm wrong) that Samsung phone was the first one that full rooting was impossible, I've pretty much given up on rooting for a while. Though S8+ may be possible to root (provided you're OK with possibly never resetting Knox), I'm OK with my S8+ non-rooted stock (for now), just like I HAD to be OK with my old Note 4 never being able to be rooted.

I guess my bottom line take on all this is, root at your own risk, know what you're doing, and do it if you can say "Knox be damned" and have no intention of trading the phone back in or reselling it to someone who knows nothing about rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
Root became possible on note 4 after a program to alter cid to dev version was released. Also because something was possible before shouldn't mean it's possible anymore as things are updated, common sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
As I said, it's not possible to root the S8 without tripping Knox. Regardless of how it was with the S6. This is the S8, it's different. It cannot be done.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] skinza:
Definitely

Those days are over unless someone gets lucky,i know they wont though just wishful thinking

Hi friends,

The app recommended by BQ "MTK Tool Flash" (SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Linux_v5.1612.00.100.zip) just didn't work for me on my Debian PC. There were always some excuses. So I tried some black command-line magic with fastboot and now I'm with a bricked device.

See ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e5 link I cannot post...

The good news is, I have installed the TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-freezerfhd.img) before I shot myself in the toe. So power + volume up gives me the comforting bluish screen of TWRP.

Question is, how can I bring the lovely device back to life? I wanted to flash official Android on it (which failed - 2.3.0_20170405-1553_bq_aquaris_m10_FHD_-FW.zip) and I'd like to complete that, but if it's a no go, I can go back to Ubuntu.

I have tried installing the image zip from twrp, but it said the image has invalid zip file format!

Thanks a lot for your help

I've been struggling with this one. So I can switch to the bootloader mode and run fastboot commands. However, when I try to flash the system image I get some funny error:

sudo fastboot flash system ./system.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
erasing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.002s

With the flash tool (after fixing all it's complaints) I'm stuck with a timeout on detecting the USB port (while fastboot works just fine)

Connecting to BROM...
Scanning USB port...
Search usb, timeout set as 3600000 ms

And with TWRP as mentioned earlier:

Invalid zip file format

I read the stock rom can be adjusted somehow to allow TWRP to flash it but I'm quite like what...? Android kitchen doesn't list my device as supported.
[Device Repair] ubuntufantasy:
progress

Aha! This got us further:

sudo fastboot flash system -u -S 1G ./system.img

Which means do not erase the partition upfront, and sparse the file at max 1 GB.

sudo fastboot flash userdata -u -S 1G ./userdata.img
sudo fastboot flash boot -u -S 1G ./boot.img
sudo fastboot reboot

Now device is "powered by ubuntu" and stuck there... not sure what's happening

S now I tried flashing some more exotic partitions and the device is completely dead. I hope BQ can help...
[Device Repair] ubuntufantasy:

Wow, so BQ contacted me right away with a hard reset procedure. The key bit of information I must have overlooked somewhere is that for the flash tool to detect the device, the device must be plugged in while it's off and while the tool is waiting. We're now "powered by android" and system is ready to use. Oh my... thanks BQ
