Sounds crazy y'all but I'm returning my note 8 JOD and gonna buy a 128gb htc u11. They have soff which means root . I can live with a single photo lense.

I just can't justify giving Samsung money with this whole locked bootloader nonsense. When Samsung directly decides to sell the Exynos in NA then I'll come back I suppose

Edit: i'm crazy. I'll just wait.

Anybody who did the JOD, did they charge for taxes?

Anyway i'm on the the fence on where to buy from. T-Mobile said they will only give $141 for my S7 Edge, and then I would have to pay around $50 to finish paying off phone because I don't have Jump! So for JOD it would be $0 Down (+tax?) and $39/ month for 18 months, with an option to payoff remaining balance ($228) after 18th month.

Samsung on the other hand is willing to give $300 for S7 edge, and with their financing it would be $ 26.25/mo for 24mos $630.00+tax total

And then the $200 I owe t-mobile for the S7

I don't know which to do, any suggestions appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So an update here, I decided to buy Unlocked from Samsung's website as I think it will be cheaper in the long run. Not to mention i got the SD card and the fast wireless charger free. Whoop! Now to wait :)

After the Note7 fiasco I have been anticipating the 8, plus it included the insurance for $10mo. But I can feel your frustration, I'd be offended as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] drmacrofish:
For those of you other guys who have ordered from Samsung like I did does anyone think there's a great advantage to ordering the unlocked version over the T-Mobile one? I spoke with Samsung by online chat and they did tell me that all the LTE bands are the same on both devices. I know there will be some T-Mobile bloatware to deal with but I also really want Wi-Fi calling to work.

My thoughts are that I should be able to get T-Mobile to unlock this version after I use it on their network for 40 days.

Plus I really want the orchid gray color and the unlocked version only comes in black.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] zonly1:
I agree with you. My first order was the unlocked one and then I started seeing that WiFi calling, video calling and tethering may not work. I cancelled and re-placed my order with the T-Mobile variant...also went Orchid Gray.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KOLIOSIS:
If you want to use your T-Mobile Note 8 before the 40 days expires,there are sites that can SIM Unlock it,for a fee,or course.

Just ensure they have the "T-Mobile Device Unlock" method,fwhich is done remotely,that's different from typical unlock codes you buy & do it yourself on other carriers.

New phones typically run about $40 & prices usually start to dip to the $20-$25 range about a month or two after the phones initial availability...............

Regardless of your credit report,if you've been in good standing with T-Mobile for 24 months,(no late or partial payments),that's good enough to get their best financing,whether it's JOD/JUMP/Standard EIP.

As I mention before, here's the test version which support WPA2. It's for testing purpose only, plz don't flash it if you need your device to work or need a stable ROM!

Prophet WPA2 ROM
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] cybervn:
Cloudyfa, do u really have solution for prophet to connect to WPA2 wifi security?

Great.

Thanks u so much. I'm waiting for this.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] onesolo:
Very unstable

I'm testing this version. Right on the first run, I couldn't even input my pin code to enter on the phone. I made a few soft-resets but it was still the same. Then I removed the SD card and worked. After a few soft-resets and with the memory card inside I finally did get inside the phone. Still, I had a few freezes in some things, specially when it was related with the memory card. For example, when I go to the Settings -> Memory, I click on Storage Card but it doesn't enter on that and I'm unable to get out of the program. I can go to the Today or go to another program via Start menu, but I cannot exit the memory program. I have to take off the memory card to exit the memory program. But after that if I reenter the memory card on the device it no longer reads the card. I have to do a softreset.

Oh, and the usal wifi bug, doesn't connect on the comm manager, is present.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] tc500owner:
Thanks for sharing this Rom with us. On my G4-TC500 it has the following bugs:

- Wifi not working at all.

- Access to the Storage Card is really really slow.

Possibly there's more, haven't tested it long enough yet.

But it also has quiete some pros!!!

- Its amazingly fast. Much faster than your stable Versions of this Rom.

- Browsing in Windows-Folder with almost no delay at all.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] onesolo:
Ok, after another hard-reset the whole rom stabilized but I found out on thing that is going to keep me away from this rom.

When making a call, for example in the voicemail, if it's need to press a number to make an action, it doesn't work.

This rom is a no go for me.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] onesolo:
Another bug found, doesn't charge while connect to a pc by usb.

I think it's better to end this thread or somithing like that cause this drivers is way to buggy...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afbengochea:
Wanting to upgrade to Oreo but am unencrypted. I would like keep my phone as is. Would I need to wait for a modified boot image or can I go ahead and install the factory images?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Every OS enforces encryption. You need to wait for a modified boot image or custom kernel.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
The solution can be rather simple.

Do the update, and right away boot to bootloader. Flash ElementalX kernel or any other boot image of your choice and voila.. no harm done and the system won't be encrypted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
We haven't needed to wait for a modified boot image for a long time. If you decide to flash the factory image, just make sure that when it's finished (before booting to the OS for the first time) you either flash SuperSU or a custom kernel like EX. Both of these modify the boot.img to no-force encrypt. If rooted, you can also use FlashFire to flash the image. It will preserve root, modify the boot.img to no-force encrypt and keep your custom recovery.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEHACKER609:
fixing kik

hi, I suggest you to reinstall kik and fix its permissions via a root explorer like es file explorer and this should most probably fix the issue for you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Can you provide a real proven solution, because is not a permission issue.

Tried many bluestacks version which worked before (stored versions on PC, both bluestacks and KIK), but groups cannot be joined anymore.

Also tried on remix os player, the same thing, so I think the issue might be related to KIK servers.

Any other solution is welcomed, btw I rooted also bluestacks and applied SuperSu, result is the same.

From the very vague description of the deal, you probably could! I assumed they will give you more or less money depending on the value of your trade in. If it was just a straight $425 off then why do they said "UP TO $425 off"???

Hello guys,

My HTC One m8 (Sprint) shows this on the screen and refuse to hardr reset or do anything else. Do I have to install a new ROM ? if yes, which ROM can I install through SD card cause the phone isn't connecting to the computer.

Thanks guys,
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Do you have custom recovery (TWRP) installed?

When you say "new ROM" do you mean a custom ROM, or do you want stock ROM (and for that matter, what was on there before it got "stuck")?

Do you want to try to keep data? If not, you can try to flash a Sprint RUU (and

only

a Sprint RUU), which may be the best course of action anyway, as it might fix the radio "INVALID" issue.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostMan1991:
Thanks for your reply.

No I don't have TWRP installed.

I don't want to keep the data.

I need the phone to work, so I would appreciate it if you advise me which ROM should I install?

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can flash RUU 4.25.651.14. Either SD card method should work, or the .exe method. Your computer should still be able to connect via fastboot (which is how the RUU.exe works), even though it can't access storage. This is normal and expected - you can only access storage or adb while booted to OS or custom recovery TWRP.

RUU file and instructions here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

Alternately, you can update to Marshmallow with RUU 6.20.654.3, but you will need to fastboot flash firmware 6.20.654.3 before you can run the RUU. Instructions on flashing firmware also on the linked thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
Before you flash anything else grab the latest sprint RUU for your device, as already mentioned.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostMan1991:
I downloaded the RUU that fits the number showed on the phone 4.25.654.14 on the computer and after few seconds it gave me error 171.

So I downloaded the zip file and put it on the SD card and it failed as shown in the picture attached below

Can you please advise what to do next?

Also : is there a software I can use to install the new ROM instead of the RUU.exe and Zip on SD ?

Thanks a lot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you do anything to the phone to cause the current condition?

I would suggest trying other Spring RUUs, such as 3.31.654.2 or 6.20.654.3

Error 171 is connection issue, which you already somewhat mentioned in the top post. Connection issue is usually on the PC side. Try another USB port, another cable. Reinstall HTC drivers. Make sure the phone is in fastboot mode (fastboot selected in bootloader) when trying to do fastboot commands or RUU.exe.

You may also try to find the device in Windows Device Manager. Then pick the option to manually select drivers, and select the "generic" Android MTP device drivers. I sometimes have to do this, for my PC to "see" the phone in fastboot or adb.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael-57:
Good morning all,

my 6p looks completely dead. I've installed the latest Android O factory image from the Google Developer site, flashed it and was running withot issues until today.

I was about to write a comment on Facebook, and then the phone freezed. After seeing how the phone was not recoverying, I tried a hard reset by long-pressing the power and both the volume keys. Then, the phone got a black screen, didn't vibrate, and now looks totally dead.

It's not charging or responding in any way, no matter how I press it. I'm quite confident the phone was over 50% when this issue occurred.

I don't really know what coul've caused this, but on my side, the preview was flashed cleanly with a complete factory reset, and I've only restored media files, without rooting.

Any ideas as to what should I do?

I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a disaster but it appears that the 6P isn't far behind. Just bought a 6P (thankfully, a mint refurb) and am wondering if I made a bad mistake?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3phestic:
Yes a bad choice I would say - as an owner of a Nexus 6P device currently awaiting repair (thank god I'm in warranty) - I can tell you this device is plagued with issues that only become apparent as soon as your warranty is approaching expiry.

I love the phone, the design and build quality aesthetically speaking but would never be buying from Huawei again. The device is plagued with poor design that people believe leads to the CPU failing for some odd reason causing the dreaded bootloop issue.

My phone died literally in front of me and never worked again. I've contacted Huawei to get some clarification if this is an inherent fault as thousands are complaining about it and they just plain deny it and maintain if the warranty expires your out of luck. Apparently fixing the bootloop requires a motherboard change which in itself costs over $200 apparently. May as well get another phone for that as even the replacement component will eventually fail!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
Sounds like a power issue. Maybe there's an open at the power switch or bad battery connector or battery. It most likely is nothing to do with Android oh it's just a coincidence. If you would have not even flashed Android O it would have still done this

I have owned this 6p for over 18+ months now. Never had any bootloop issues since day 1. A week ago i loaded factory image of Android O to this phone everything was working fine with great battery life.

I do not know if this is a coincidence with OP but i was also on facebook (chrome webapp) when during freshing of the page, the phone rebooted and since then it is stuck in bootloop.

I have connected to PC and reloaded the oreo stock image again and it completes successfully but again goes into bootloop. Any idea what should i do??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murphyjasonc:
Follow the bootloop fix guide. I believe it's in the general or q and a section. It shuts down the big cpu cores but will get your phone going again. It worked for me. I was able to boot up and get some files off that hadn't been backed up yet. I was also able to use my phone until my RMA arrived.
