yeah, you can use odin in case you have the flashable zip file for your phone downloaded already. but if you don't have that, just use Samsung's smart switch, it can get from their official website.

make sure you backed up your data, and the steps are

- poweroff, then hold 'volume down' + 'bixby' + 'power' buttons, when see a prompt, release all key and press vol up, so it should be in downloading mode

- connect your phone to pc

- open the smart switch and click on 'more', there should be some kind of recovery option in the menu, select it, input your phone's model and serial number (case sensitive), then follow the on-screen guide to complete this

after it finished, the phone should be factory reseted and with the latest firmware installed.

that's it, hope it helps. :)

Guys, I have the same problem with OTG on S8 plus. no water, drop or anything. No OTG device works (tried with genuine type c to usb adapter). It used to work like two days ago. I did factory reset. Still not recognised. I remember I played with developer option and usb options but it was after I started getting a message about insufficient power. But any device I try now does not work. Please help. Did a whole search on google. I cannot be the only one with the issue right?

I ordered another OTG adapter but something tells me the adapter is not the issue because it worked on a friend's S8 (not plus)

By the way even gear vr is not recognised anymore. It used to work perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GuccizBud:
You can add me to this list. Brand new S8+ out of the box . . . no OTG works at all, and in my case didn't used to work but stopped, it just hasn't worked at all, not once, regardless of which of the dozen-odd cable/adapter permutations I try. Coming from a Note 4 where it worked perfectly all the time, I am both surprised and disappointed . . . speaking of "surprised", I am bowled over by the fact no one seems to have a definite answer what with this phone being out what, 6 months now? Don't mean here, I mean anywhere/everywhere I've looked so far.

Wasn't expecting any of this . . . you unconsciously expect your new device to be better, especially going from a "4" to an "8" as in my case, you don't expect you'll be going backwards. Of course, I haven't had it even 24 hours yet. :(

After you flash the kernel wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. If it still persists, wipe dalvik and cache then flash super user in twrp and reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cleric05:
Any updates on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DonGregor:
Same here. With a new, unrooted Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950U1) I tried to use the USB-C adapter to no avail: I tried connecting USB pen drives, USB HDDs, USB mice and keyboard without success. Just today I tried the USB adapter with a friend's phone and it worked flawlessly on the first try, so it is not an adapter issue.

Also, what's weird is that the phone works perfectly with the USB cable, I can connect and transfer my device without issue using Samsung's SideSync utility and others.

So... I hope somebody has a solution, because Samsung is not saying anything regarding this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
I have the same problem.. do you have any otg adapter to connect it with the usb-c adapter ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DonGregor:
Hi StonebridgeGr, I bought online a different adapter to try out. It will arrive in a few days, so will let you know after I try it.

However, in another post a fellow forum member said that he had his phone diagnosed and it was an USB issue, aparently Note 8 USB ports are very fragile... I hope that is not the case with mine, since it is quite new.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
inside the s8 box is a black adapter that says USB Connector .. with this adapter you can insert any usb drive, hhd , mouse, keyboard. Try it, if you dont had already .

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GuccizBud:
I posted in this thread 8 months ago, right after I got the S8+, and I see the post was quoted a couple times. I should've posted back a few days after that, when I realized what was going on , but I'll do so now, just to set the record straight.

The problem wasn't with the phone — it was the fact I wasn't technically unfamiliar with the USB C-Type connector the phone comes with.

What I didn't realize was ᎓

OTG is already built into your phone's ( and every ) USB C-Type connector, because OTG is defined as part of the USB-C spec.​

That means you don't need to ( and shouldn't ) plug any type of OTG cable or OTG adapter in there. If you do  try to include an OTG cable (one without a USB C-Type connector at either end ) in the connection, as some of us were doing ( present company included ), you definitely will  have problems.*  To get a USB storage device to connect and work with any phone which has a USB C-Type connector — like the S8, S9, and their "plus" variants — all you need is a single cable that has a USB-C male connector on one end ( which will plug into your phone ) and on the other end you want whichever type of USB connector fits the storage device you're trying to connect to your phone.

So for example if it's a USB 3.0/3.1 stick or flash drive you want to connect, the other end of the cable would be a female USB 3.0/3.1 A-Type ( full width ) connector. If it's a high capacity USB 3.0/3.1 portable drive you want to connect, as was my case, the other end of the cable would be a male USB 3.0/3.1 Micro B-Type ( the one that looks "split" in the middle ). Soon as I bought a cable like that and made it the sole connection between my phone and portable drive, all problems disappeared and I could read the drive from the phone without issue.

Point is, if you have a phone with a USB C-Type connector, OTG is no longer a concern to you, and you no longer need for special OTG cables ( or adapters, or anything ) to be part of the connection chain, because OTG logic is built right into USB C-Type connectors and cables. At first I thought USB C-Type was just yet another differently-shaped USB connector, one that was reversible, but really it's a key upgrade to the USB spec, one with "smart" connectors and fully-featured cables that are both reversible and OTG-ready. And it's going to be around for awhile, so buying a couple of USB C-Type cables to interface your storage devices with your phone isn't money wasted.

- -

* At that point the proper procedure is (a) post about how much you hate your new phone because OTG doesn't work, (b) quietly figure it out at some later point ("oh … heh-heh"), and (c) update that post several months later explaining how much of a dork you were back then, which most everyone who read your first post already knows.

Otg connection

I am running SM-G950F with ALEXIS 5.3, rooted with Magisk, and I had the same problem...

until I plugged the Samsung OTG adapter which goes from USB C type to USB B type.

When you plug this into the S8 port and then connect a USB stick into it, the S8 will read the stick

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mario.renor:
Did anyone go forward with that? I have the same problem. OTG Cable works perfectly on my friends non-galaxy phone.

Connection with computer works fine. Charging works fine too. , but ignores any OTG connection.

I dont know exactly what was the turning point for WORKING to NOT WORKING, but it worked months ago. Then, recently I needed OTG function and saw that something has happened and it totally ignores any OTG connection. Meanwhile USB connector got wet and I updated firmware.

Did anyone have the solution for it? As I still have my Samsung warranty, I am trying to avoid rooting it.

Can anyone help?

[Touch Cruise General] fried_potatoes:
Got a quick question. I've been looking around for a new pda. I currently own a Trinity and am wondering if the Polaris is equivalent to a Trinity II? Similar to how there is a TyTN and now there is a TyTN II, except with the name change.

I know the Polaris has streamed from the Artemis i.e. P3300, but specs seems like it can possibly be a the new Trinity? Or is HTC going to release a Trinity II later this year or in the near future?

I'd like some helpful input if possible. Thanks a lot.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
The Polaris is an Artemis, Touch Dual hybrid, it's nowhere near the Trinity.

The only thing that connects the two is the Qualcomm GPS chip.

The design is from the Artemis, the screen and chipset is from the Touch Dual (or the Kaiser if you prefer, but both use the same chipsets).
[Touch Cruise General] Baxter:
Ture, but if you are a user looking at features and form it is basically an improved Trinity. Nicely improved :)
[Touch Cruise General] :
that and the fact that the alternative name for the Touch Cruise is the P3650.....!

But just look at the thing, it's a touch/p3300 love child all the way!!
[Touch Cruise General] fried_potatoes:
Thanks a lot for your input. I guess my end question is because the end user features of the touch cruise is very similar to the trinity, upgraded, does anyone think that the trinity model be phased out? As HTC seems to be quite a smart company, releasing a "Trinity II" would possibly be doubling up and competing with it's own Touch Cruise. Thanks.
[Touch Cruise General] Baxter:
I've owned multiple devices (including two Trinity's) as most that post here have. I can't believe the number of devices that are available from the same manufacturers now that sizes are reaching the limits of what is comfotable for users. Given the 2.8" screen standard, there is no reason for anything much smaller than the Touch. A couple mm's shaved here and there maybe.

Maybe with technology HTC will eventualy get to two basic PDA phones - one with keyboard and a slimmer one without. Both will be loaded with the same features as technology improves. LG is packing more features in a smaller phone than the Touch.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Some how I'm not convinced that, the Trinity has anything to do whith the Polaris. Yeah I know, the number... Trinity being P3600 and Polaris being P3650, but I ask what features and design elements make the Polaris Trinity II.

As far as I can see there's no Jogwheel, no Infraport, the design elements are from the Artemis and the Touch, and the chipset is from the Kaiser... so?

Between the the Hermes and the Kaiser are common elements, in design, and in features also. And HTC introduced the Kaiser as TyTN II. But I ask again, whithout the numbers, what makes the Polaris the Trinity II?
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
i think what he's fishing for is if since hermes and kaiser kinda look alike and aramis and polaris kinda look alike if

there will be a trinityLooking device later

or if that market segment is where polaris is

suppose he pref the look of trinity and will wait if a device comes out which look more like that
[Touch Cruise General] fried_potatoes:
Thanks a lot for your input. Thanks for telling me that there is no infraport. I don't use it, but it's good to know before I make a purchase. I'm not trying to argue that the Touch Cruise = Trinity II. I'm just looking for a new pda phone that is as close to the Trinity P3600 as possible, except better:-) I'm sick of my Trinity. It seems to me that the closest there is in the market is the Touch Cruise. I know the Trinity and the Touch Cruise are entirely different phones. Another Question. Is the Qualcomm 400Mhz processor on the Touch Cruise faster than the Samsung 400Mhz processor? The Samsung processor has it's own problems. Any significant problems with the Qualcomm processor that I should be aware?

Thanks again for your help.
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
Qualcomm got an issue with the htc driver not using the ati onchip video stuff so the cpu dont do multimedia as fart as it could same thing with kaiser there are alot of thread about it

how big a problem it is i guess depend on if one play video clips in higher res's then the screen and display to avoid the bother of transforming them to 320_240 first
[Touch Cruise General] Baxter:
I don't think anyone is suggesting that the Polaris is actually related to the Trinity - as pointed out, it's predecessor is the Artemis.

Check this out if you are looking for a comparison.

im sorry .. but

wtf who cares about it? - call it the trinity II if your happy then lol.

go to the shop and say: i own a touch cruise's / orbit's predeccessor, the trinity. he dont cares how you call it, you put the finger on the product and he will tell you the price ^^
[Touch Cruise General] Zodler:
Polaris is indeed Trinity, but not Trinity II, it's Trinity 0.5! Don't buy it yet. I have both phones. I was sick of my Trinity like you and wanted something new and bought Polaris. Yes it looks "sexier" but it made me realize how great my Trinity is! Now I'm back to Trinity and the Polaris is back in its box until HTC releases patches that make this phone better than Trinity.

Jeez, I tried to play a tinny little 320 x 240 video and it couldn't handle it! :mad:
[Touch Cruise General] bjrmd:
I have a Trinity running the latest "Fixin it over" ROM which is working great. Also have a Polaris on order from Mobileplanet. I starting to wonder if the Polaris is a bit over rated in comparison. Anyone else have both with an opinion?

btw easy way to get rid of ads diasbale the charging thing in king settings and adaway its what i did on the warp 7
[Android General] duane2064:
carrier iq

this phone has carrier iq, i was able to get temp root without write using kingroot, so i was able to delete, disable apps, and also, remove carrier iq with the quide you can find on the: androidexplained website. i could not actually delete the files in the last two steps but it seemed to work anyway. this is my first post so i can't put links.

Question1: i don't like typing cause i make stupid mistakes, but im assuming i could put all your command in individual batch files ending with a pause on each, and prefixing all you commands with "adb.exe shell su". that way i could stop and see what happened and then continue.

Question2:

dd if=recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img

seems to mean copy the boot partion to an image file on the internal sd card. am i correct?

and

dd if=boot of=recovery

seems to mean overwrite the boot partition with an image- (file)?

if so what image file?

sorry, im new to all this, i guess i probably don't have enough confidence to do this, my z831 works very well without all the bloat anyway. and yes i understand the risks if i do decide to proceed, anyway. i have 3 $10 and $20 phones that are not bricked but i forgot to reenable the system apps before i removed root and reset, so they might as well be bricked cause they cant do anything after they boot.

btw, you mentioned in one step to wait, to see if it reboots, to see if it is stable before continuing:

for me i remember that either having too many apps running or stopping too many system apps, seemed to make this z831 unstable and reboot, while it had temp root.

Question last: do i need to start the process as you said while kingroot is in the process of rooting, or can i wait till it is finished getting it's root?
[Android General] madvane20:
i have a batch script i made for the warp 7 that i think will work for this phone but i never posted any of it cause he released the guide first so i told him to keep it and no the boot to recovery overwrites recovery with boot image from boot then after everything has perm root u can flash the recovery back to recovery. do we need a batch script no do we need to mess with other files risking a brick no kingroot is fine til we can find a way to get access to bootloader for fastboot as well as get a twrp built for the phone. theres ways to make kingroot not as annoying ad blocker disable notifications from kingroot and disable fastcharging lock screen. but u more than welcome to tamper just be aware u brick ur phone in the process theres no fix. as well if it makes it easier for people i will write a batch script that walks them through the process with the pauses shows them what it does so they can learn for future purpose but i m0ean the guides pretty simple

step 9 is different than yours, why?

Question for madvane20

XCnathan32's step 9: "Now type

setprop persist.sys.k Z831

BUT in your bat file:

adb.exe shell su

setprop ro.product.name Z831

of course swaping out ZTE_BEAM for Z831

is one better than the other or should they both be done?
