[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NamelessFragger:
Without the Wacom pen, the Galaxy Note is just an unremarkable big phone. Nobody else dares to compete with Samsung in that regard, and it pisses me off when they could easily do so. LG V10 or V20 with an active pen? Goodbye, Samsung!

But as it stands, I have another big reason for wanting one: my prized Note 4 isn't supposed to work outside of Sprint, but does so anyway thanks to some GalaxyTools/idoneapps unlock trickery. It just works suboptimally on T-Mobile now, lack of LTE bands and dismal call quality/not even 3G reception as of late.

The Note 8 won't have that issue due to having a unified North American variant... with an irritating locked bootloader, but I'm sure someone will find a way around that.

Because it's a Note and not a Galaxy S device. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Cool Person:
The pen ofcourse because it makes the phone unique from any s series that came before. It gives you about 30 more features in your phone. Writing notes on always on display and pinning it is quite intersting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I agree and can't understand why so many of our respected peers voted for the camera? The whole idea of the 'Note' is the S-pen, The note series is really the S series plus a pen........The camera set up should have come with the SGS8 and 8+ but oddly didn't?

If I didn't place the S-pen at the top of my list I would keep my SGS8+ and not change until the SGS9+ comes out next year.

Ryland :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Super Chimp:
I have never once used the S-Pen on my Note 5. It's an utterly irrelevant as to why I purchased a Note
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chavist:
I believe that the camera really is the trump card for the Note...and really the only reason I am ordering it. Samsung seems to have taken a step backwards on the innovation regarding this device. Essentially it is a N7 with dual cameras... nothing more
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
No confrontation on my part. Just trying to understand your logic. So you go buy a leather brief case to store your documents in to travel but then place said documents in a cloth back pack?

The 'Note' is all about the S-pen that's why its called the Note series and not the S series that in reality does most of what the Note does but without the productivity of the Notes S-pen.

On this one occasion the Note differs in that it introduces dual cameras but in the future all the S series will have dual cameras starting with the S9.

If you don't need the leather brief case, the S-pen, then why not purchase the S series. :good:

You are far from unique in purchasing a Note and not using the S-pen. I had exactly the same debates on the Note 7 forum. If one doesn't need the pen, buy the less expensive S7.

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kawaisa:
I hear people complaining about how it's no different from a Note 7 or that Samsung didn't innovate. What are people expecting? for it to make you dinner? Aside from an on-screen fingerprint reader, I don't see much that could make it a game-changer.

Performance improvement,HellYeah,no doubt about it,every year it gets a bit better.

However,on my wish list & for some of us here,would be a huge welcome,whether it be for work or play:

A ruggedized version al la the Galaxy S Active.

Throw a couple front-firing speakers on it as well & I can for once & for all,forgive Samsung for taking our I-R Blaster & removable battery away...... :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nicaragüense:
S pen, just in general. Not because of the "advanced features". I always have my phone with me, and not always something to write with, this remedies that problem. Can use it for quick diagrams or directions and random notes. Since I broke my note 4 a year and a half ago I have missed that functionality. Had the Note 7 and you know the story there. Have had htc 10, lg v10 and currently still using the z force. With all these phones I have missed the funcrionality of the pen. It is not often needed, but when it is, nothing beats having it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Dark Jedi:
I will say I used the pen more than I thought I would on my note 7. I will agree for the price we pay for the note 8. Dual from speakers would be nice and not that cheap ass mono speaker that Samsung seems to love.

I don't know how the s8 preformance over the note 8 is but I do know my note 7 was smoother and faster than my S7 and S7 edge that I had. I like the note for its size and hope this one isn't long and narrow like the S7 edge was. I could do without the edge screen. Just allows a greater chance for the screen to crack like happened to my S6 edge +. Over all I hope I'll be happy with the note 8. Really I guess we buy it because it's the note and no other manufacturer makes anything like it.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Since huawei started to mess around with online firmwares that twrp couldn't handle I decided to create my own offline package with updated firmware(s) and i thought why not create a offline package thread with latest firmwares in it.

This case we can always keep ourself up to date (system wise) without having to restore to stock recovery etc.

However this is a "dirty" way of update firmware and it will only update following partitions:

Boot

Cust

Product

System

Vendor

Version

All other partitions will stay intact! Why? Because if we add other partitions there's a HIGH potential of hard brick the device and I mean really high!

But with official packages it updates all partitions!

Yes. And we can't (for now, or never) re create this procedure we'd have to know how the UPDATE.APP is being built and we can't re create a UPDATE.APP for now.

So far only available homebrewed package is 394 created by me.

See post 2 on how to create your own custom offline package!

How to do it yourself package.

In order to create a unofficial update package you'll need

Huaweiupdateextractor (google it)

Simg2img (google it)

This template

https://mega.nz/#!i1Y3Wa5J!VfELb8aRkA5bon_OlIRPNAS_xUAmzMq0I-rVywHbvi4

Now extract all needed partitions

Boot

System

Vendor

Product

from big update file

cust

version

from small update file *this can be found in any of the 2 extra small zips

Open cmd and navigate to the folder where you have to both simg2img and your system files. Now cd into your work directory to convert the images.

Simg2img.exe system.img s.img will give you a converted system image with the name s.img

Convert these following partitions

system

Product

Version

Cust

Vendor

Once completed check the update-script

The

c.img is cust

v.img is vendor

ve.img is version

p.img is product.

b.img is boot

s.img is system

you can change these names to its regular name like system.img for system or make it more confusing if you want [emoji14]

Make sure the partitions are exactly the same!

If you decide you want to change the name of the files from s.img to system.img make sure you do it correct!

Because system.img in updater-script is not the same as System.img in root of zip. If you have a captive letter in root and not in updater-script the zip will fail to flash.

Now simply compress the images into a zip and you're done.

Note: after you flashed your offline zip make sure to patch boot! Else it will reboot to recovery

Note you'll get result

Error: Unknown command []] this is not a issue since we're using stock huawei updater binary.

This one works just great.

Patch boot with either Supersu or magisk.

Did the backup include version? I doubt which is why you'll get B394 in settings.

It doesn't restore the partition which contains the build number info.

Patch boot and try again
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] extpumajl:
Thx. Now is everything fine.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
Didn't work for me since the simg2img tool wouldn't let me convert the BOOT.IMG. I was getting a "no magic" message (which I didn't notice at the beginning) and a 0KB BOOT file output. Funny thing I just realized this after trying to unsuccessfully flash the custom update zip.

So after some researching and reading (a couple of hours actually) I managed to flash the L19C432_B398 update by flashing the original extracted SYSTEM, BOOT, and CUST images through Fastboot command. Then by going into TWRT recovery to flash the simg2img converted PRODUCT, VENDOR, and VERSION images through ADB push command to their appropriate dev partitions which are available inside the updater-script. Finally, I did a dalvik/cache wipe and reboot.

So far so good.:fingers-crossed:

*Forgot to mention that my device is a US L14C567 rebranded to L19C432.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm curious but where did it say convert boot?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
It's all in my head! LOL

I got confused when I saw the part where it talks about the updater-script file naming. When I saw b.img thought that BOOT needed to be converted as well.

Thanks for pointing that out. :good:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venugopalu007:
Ok,then it shows build number correctly?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Sorry I ment version is that included?

Unless version isn't included it will display old version

Or

If you still have NRD test it's your version partition which is broken

It's in version/special_cust/yourmodel/hw/yourregion/prop/local.prop if you have a different version info than your firmware reads from that can make it display test keys

Let's say you flash us version on a eu device. It'll still try to read /eu path while you have us folder.

However this shouldn't be the issue

I once flashed eu firmware to my device it flashed successfully ,i didn't even changed the oem. It gives me NRDM after rebranding it was showing right build number.

How to unpack update.app on mobile

Needed apps

Termux https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux

Recommended apps

Hacker keyboard

Needed files

[MENTION=4081738]Atarii[/MENTION] 's modification of splitupdate to manually enter the partitions you want to unpack

https://github.com/atarii/split_updata.pl/blob/master/splitupdate

Here we begin the tutorial:

Step 1. Open termux and type

termux-setup-storage and allowe access

Now to install needed files to run the perl script

pkg install perl and if prompted press y and hit enter

Now download the perl script (as a zip and extract all files inside it it to your desired folder, it doesn't matter where you extract it but keep it simple and don't use a name with space. . . ;) because you'll have to cd into the path (unless you do a script)

Now when you extracted the script download the firmware and extract the update.app to the same folder where the perl script is

Now cd into the folder where all your files is.

Example: cd storage/downloads

Once inside the directory type

perl splitupdate UPDATE.APP partitionyouwanttoextract

Example:

perl splitupdate UPDATE.APP boot

This will create a output folder with boot inside it.

The unpack tutorial is done. But wait! If you want to browse the files you need to do one more thing or two.

Download android image kitchen

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redlee90.imagekitchenforandroid

This will allow you to *unpack boot/recovery and convert system image (also vendor, product, cust and version)

*in order to unpack a boot or recovery file you'll need to remove all code using a hex edit file until you see ANDROID text. Else it won't unpack. You can unpack aosp images easily with this tool and modify what you want and repack to flash it on your device tested with twrp image for honor 8.

I would suggest to not unpack/repack boot using this tool since it'll cause problem.

There's a python script that works to unpack boot and recovery which can be found https://github.com/liudongmiao/bootimg/blob/master/bootimg.py

For this you'll need to install python.

pkg install python and hit y and enter

Now you just do as the splitupdate part where you extract the file.

Command to unpack

python bootimg.py --unpack-bootimg similar is for ramdisk but you replace bootimg with ramdisk.

To repack just simply python bootimg.py --repack-bootimg

Please note if you repack ramdisk the boot might not work (it's a while since I tested this) now this covers up how you unpack boot and extract update.app from phone.
