[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Janny1993:
So I wanted to factory reset my phone today to start fresh. I tried to do the normal reset on the phone but it kept bringing me to the TWRP screen. I read a few posts on how to reset and it said use the TWRP Wipe. I did the normal TWRP wipe. It said it only deletes cache and dalvik and data and keeps your internal storage. So I swiped and then restarted my phone as it did it for me. Now I've tried rebooting multiple times and no luck. I checked my internal storage and it has gone and deleted the internal. So what do I do now? I have a phone which only goes to recovery. I had backed up my LG using bridge.

Also not sure if i posted in the right area. Not sure how to move it if so?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] wolfu11:
What model do you have?

Without that info you will not get much help.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Janny1993:
LG G5 H850 - V20K-EUR-XX - Not sure about anything else but thats all I could remember before resetting the phone. I live in the UK and the phone was unlocked to all networks.

I am currently downloading H85020K_00_OPEN_EU_0822.kdz but not sure if that file is even needed.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] wolfu11:
It sounds like you wiped your OS so yeah you're going to need to reinstall it. I'm pretty sure auto prime has a h850 zip file so you can Flash via TWRP look it up.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Janny1993:
Finally figured it out.

I used volume + and power button to get into the firmware update/download screen and used the LG Bridge (software update error recovery) and it did it all for me. Thanks for the help :)

I having this issue right now. Now using android Oreo. Any of you face this issue before? and how to fix it? Please help me:(
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Clancy_s:
Not spontaneously - did you flash or install something new just before it happened? If not it may be a hardware issue...

if you did, undo it if you can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LilinC331:
First and foremost, yes I have searched the threads to fix my problems and can't seem to find any. It may be a hardware problem but then again it may not be.

The phone keeps entering download mode "A custom rom may cause critical issues... ect..." I tried pressing Vol. Up and Vol. Down but it doesn't work.

I've held down the power button, it shuts off but then goes back to download mode

I've held Vol. Up + Power when bootinng up the phone to get to CWM but it's stuck on the logo. Samsung S4

I am using a custom rom, 7.1.2 Nougat AOKP CWM does not work

I've tried getting to Download Mode using Fastboot but the device is not recognized.

Any help or should I just see if its hardware?

The Issue Has Been Fixed:

Note: Vol. Up and Down were not working to get to download mode but it was not an hardware issue its the phone itself, CWM/Twrp maybe.

A trick to get it into download mode, the downloading target. (Was stuck on Custom Os can cause critical damage....))( Note: i didn't make it.

When you say "download mode", are you referring the mode that is used for flashing a stock rom with Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LilinC331:
Yes I am referring to flashing a stock rom, using Odin. (Pressing Vol. up or Vol. Down does not work)

With the phone in download, you can't flash a stock ROM with Odin?

The seems to be alot of people here that have devoted ALOT of time to making our Titans the products we always hoped our carriers promised. It is amazing to me that with all their massive infrastructures, engineers & support staff they just can't seem to keep pace with DCD, no2chem...the list goes on.

I am avid computer gaming and graphics enthusiast, home theater, XBOX hacker...building my own systems and am learning the ropes here on my Moguls (3 in the family). I have not gotten to the point of building my own custom ROM's for my specific needs..yet.

I just wanted to say thanks for spending the time making these units a better device for all of us. I can only imagine the hours it must take everyone involved. I love the fact that there are others out there still that say "F*** That!" when we are given crappy software by manufacturers and have the dedication to do what they seemingly cannot!

So Thanks!

no problem... i hack xbox too and thats more difficult than pdas :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] brew1cool1:
Really!

Well then you have given me hope I can master this. On a side note, I hacked the old xbox along time ago with a Xenium ICE chip and now just received the Globe 360 v2 chip from Europe for the XBOX 360 to make that console more agreeable. Should be fun...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] defaultdotxbe:
w00t xbox hacking!

im still waiting for some reliable solution for homebrew on the 360 though...

and thanks for the roms dcd, but youve got me reflashing my phone almost on a daily basis with the 2.x.x releases, lol
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jrebeiro:
This is way off topic but I'll jump in. I used to hack the original Xbox to get XBMC, copy my games to HD to make them load faster, emulators, etc. I found the only real feature I used was XBMC and I was using it all the time. I personally don't play games all that much and when I do I like to play them online so ripping games wasn't something I did often.

Honestly, with the Fall 360 update I have zero reason to mod my 360. XBLA fills my classic game fix (I play Doom and Sonic :) ) and I can access all my media over UPnP.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
i agree. my xboxes are just xbmc boxes. the 360 does everything i need, but ill probably pick up another one to hack, just for fun.

yea, thanks for all the help to dcd and everyone else. this is also off topic, but there is no way i would even buy an xbox 360 if i couldnt burn games, so bravo to everyone who hacks them, cause i did and 360 is better than ever

Been going back and forth between purchasing an unlocked N8 or TMO variant N8. Question is, if I bought a TMO variant and then had TMO unlock my phone after meeting their requirements would all the LTE bands then be activated and available on the phone? I've heard that all carrier variants have the hardware for all the bands but are limited to carrier bands when locked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Guyanthalas:
Hey all,

I've restored my girlfriends pixel using the original android 8 image. (It was using PureNexus before). However, she just got the update notification (september update?) but it doesn't do anything when she taps it. The phone should not be rooted, as I used the original clean factory image.

Any suggestions? I've looked at this thread https://xdaforums.com/pixel/help/taking-september-security-update-rooted-t3672586 and so am prepared to download the latest update and remove the "-w" part, but shouldn't it allow her to take the update anyway? Am I going to have to always do this every time they release an update?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Clancy_s:
It should work, so long as you restored everything to stock - system, bootloader, recovery (dunno if radio matters).

If it's not working most likely there's something custom hanging around somewhere...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] FernBch:
I believe it will also fail to update if the bootloader is unlocked. Not sure if you have a VZW device but that's how it works for them. I just update by flashing the full factory image, not an OTA file. Removing the -w will retain user data.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jss2:
Nope, not true. I unlocked my bootloader (not a Verizon phone, bought it from Google), but I've have my phone 100% stock most of the time and I've taken many OTA updates. Including the recent Oreo Sept security update a couple of days ago.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] joeyfeffer:
I think that's the point they're trying to make. Its the Verizon version that is having the update problem if the bootloader is unlocked.

I am having the same issue (have a Verizon Pixel) but am on the ProjectFi network and can't update. I think I'll have to reset and lock the bootloader in order to get the update.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Wait wait no. Just download the full image, edit the flashall bat file and remove the-w from it with a text editor. That will flash you back to stock and not wipe your data. Then reroot and so on.

Do not relock it, ever. If something goes wrong and you brick you are toast.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] joeyfeffer:
Oh gotcha gotcha.

Weird issue though I couldn't get update to the latest image. I was only able to flash the bootloader and radio. When I tried updating the image it said it couldn't find some of the files. Do I still need to keep the line as "fastboot -w update" when updating the image? won't the "-w" do the wipe?

Nevermind I figured it out. I guess I was inputting the wrong command.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eros101:
Hey guys,

I can't start up my Sony Xperia S. It just stucks at the SONY logo screen. :(

I've downloaded Xperia Companion and tried Software Repair, but it says cannot be repaired as the Bootloader is unlocked. Now I'm trying to lock the bootloader but I don't know how.

I'd like to reset my phone to its original form, i.e. bootloader locked and unrooted. Any ideas?

Btw, I'm using a Mac.

Any help/advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eros101:

But it didn't work and my phone just wouldn't start up, so I bought a new phone 6 months ago and put this aside.

Now I'd like to start up this phone and try to access my pictures etc.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eros101:
Thanks for the advice!

I followed the instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2422053

Flash the official jellybean.

It has some progress but I still cannot start up my phone.

When I start it up, the Sony logo appears, followed by the Xperia logo and the colourful light stream. Then it repeats itself, SONY, Xperia, light stream........ etc.

It's better than just the SONY logo I had before.

What should I do next?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Give it some more time on that state.. It should boot OK.. If not then flash again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eros101:
I flash it again, and still it can't start up.

I gave it 30 minutes, and it's still in the loop, Sony - Xperia - lights. :(

what should I do?

I've also tried to repair using the Xperia Companion but it says, bootloader is unlocked, so NO.

how to relock the bootloader then?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovego:
Hello all,I've got my 6P for about a year and a half, from the get go, my battery wasn't anything to write home about. But lately my battery life became a real pain in the as*...

I have to charge it twice a day, and that's after sending it twice for a battery replacement.

and to top it all, I've just purchased an OTG disk on key, and the 6P only wants to play nice, if the file system is FAT32 (which is a real kicker as the files I want to use the damn thing for, are bigger than 4GB).

I know there's a way to access NTFS files on an OTG drive, but it requires a ROOT which I'm not really keen on doing, as I have another 6 months or so under warranty...

so right now I have a packed 6P with lousy battery life, and no option to use the thumb drive that I've purchased...

any ideas as to what to do (before I smash it to bits on the nearest wall)?

P.S. lately it started to stater and sometimes being unresponsive.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
SamMobile site shows two model numbers with different firmware versions.

SM-N950U = N950USQU1AQH7

SM-N950U1 = N950U1UEU1AQH9

The interesting part is they list the AT&T firmware under the SM-N950U1 section with a firmware version of N950U1UEU1AQH9.

My AT&T branded note is an SM-N950U and running N950USQU1AQH7 firmware.

I'm not sure what the differences are, but I suggest using caution if you want to flash one of these.

EDIT:

Found the differences by going through the FCC info.

SM-N950U = Made in Korea

SM-N950U1 = Made in Vietnam
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
the differences between U and U1 firmware is carrier bloat and features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
Possible, but SamMobile's firmware section disagrees. They list AT&T firmware under the U1 section but I have an AT&T branded U version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
The u1 will be the unlocked firmware but will download with carrier csc info...for ease of use...when you put the sim in it does the same thing....my guess anyway after I matched the Sprint u1 with the xaa u1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Wacky2bakky:
So if I have the sprint version note 8 with U fw, would it be worth it to flash u1 fw for less bloat or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
It would be up to you...by flashing my unlocked to Sprint, for testing purposes, I lost download booster but everything else is the same basically. Some theming with Sprint I don't like....I noticed that the VoLTE and WiFi calling are provisioned in both just show up differently in the menus. If VoLTE is in the update for the unlocked version or can be flashed with the USERDATA file with the next update, the lack of bloatware is worth it...for me anyways
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Wacky2bakky:
Yeah I don't even see VoLTE on my note 8, just Wi-Fi calling. I had VoLTE on my Sprint s8 plus with the last update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
...VoLTE is provisioned in the hidden settings but no app yet for both variants...calling plus
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Wacky2bakky:
So there's a way for me to activate calling plus?

Hi i own the SM-N950U1 which i purchased from Samsung store. It is the factory unlocked version. No carrier bloat. So definitely be careful when flashing.

I'll bet after last years debacle, Samsung want's to easily track which region manufactures it's phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shdwphnx:
And to make things even more confusing... The Note 8 I bought directly from T-Mobile (IE: definitely carrier locked & branded) is also a SM-N950U model. When I unboxed it, the firmware version was listed as N950USQU1AQH7 (which apparently is an exact match for a Sprint branded firmware version number). I have since installed an OTA, and now have N950USQ1AQI5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black72cat:
I have a pre-ordered Note 8 direct from Sprint and it's manufactured from China and is a SM-N950U
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
Interesting... the Made in China version didn't go through the FCC. Only Korea and Vietnam models are listed in the filings.

The screen grab in my original post is from the FCC approval docs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
My AT&T SM-N950U has the same firmware version. (N950USQU1AQH7)

AT&T hasn't pushed the QI5 version yet... supposedly we get it next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black72cat:
Hmmmm............

:confused:

(Update)........... There are various carriers that have Vietnam, Korea and China as manufacturers. And they all are FCC. Some are different in color and the manufacturer is different.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Manufacture location has NOTHING to do with the model number. U models are carrier models and U1 is the unlocked from samsung. Simple as that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black72cat:
Thank you but I was referring to the fact that My phone was made in China. If you are aware there are Note 8 fakes out there that come pretty close and I JUST confirmed with SAMSUNG that my phone is legit. And the fakes have the same fake model number. Thanks for your help.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
Whats with the bold?

Anyway Meant it toward the OP since he things its related manu location.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
The FCC docs show the U and U1 are made in different locations. Has nothing to do with locked or unlocked.

I've seen unlocked with both U and U1 designations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
U1 model is unlocked....u model is carrier...check out the specs and model numbers...not to mention that the full carrier firmware Downloads for each carrier are for U model and all unlocked firmwares are for U1 models...how about this...you flash the firmware for U1 models, whichever u like, and then tell us if any have any carrier bloat...I've checked 5 so far...let's see:D the reason you see unlocked with U is because we can flash carrier firmware...Ive done it several times now and changed my UNLOCKED U1 to Carrier U....then I flashed back and....yep....changed back to U1...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeeXii:
So I am confused.

I am aware a carrier N950U can be flashed with the N950U1.

However on updato I see that there are U1 versions that say "Tmobile" "ATT" etc.

What is the difference between the N950U T-Mobile firmware and the N950U1 T-Mobile firmware?

I was under the impression that the N950U T-Mobile firmware was the normal main carrier firmware that has all the bloat, and the N950U was just a generic firmware that had ZERO carrier bloat.

If what I said is true then how can there be individual N950U1 firmware for each carrier lol.

Lastly, is there a way to flash a N950U1 firmware and still get the Wifi calling / VoLTE carrier features etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
The individual SM-N950U1 Firmwares are just the XAA firmware with carrier settings already applied. If carrier functions are not working on unlocked firmware flash carrier csc and USERDATA files or Complete carrier Firmware...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeeXii:
Where do I get the CSC / Userdata files?

If I flash the U1 firmware with the carrier CSC does it still have no bloat like normal U1 firmware?

What is the benefit of doing this as opposed to just using the carrier FW? :)

wg
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rvnsls:
Yes, flashing the U1 firmware should get you the wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
WiFi calling is in the phone settings (open phone app and select the menu buttons in right corner...WiFi calling is at the bottom) for Sprint users...if not you just need to call Sprint and ask them to reprovision the imei for whitelist and add calling plus....(VoIP not yet available though)...Sprint is the most lenient with unlocked devices..

But if you want full Sprint Firmware...flash the SM-N950U firmware for Sprint...search carrier flashing in the main guide section...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] urirx98:
I wish I asked this question earlier cause i literally stumbled into finding the wifi calling the other day. I spoke with tech support at SPRINT and he couldnt even tell me that all i had to do was open the damm phone app and go into settings. I really dont understand why even searching WI-Fi in the settings wouldnt find it but, alas i found it and it works. I do want the HD voice and Volte but its not a absolute necessity at this time if it may come with a update. or if its easy to do with ODIN/

Hi Members,

I am new here and have a question, hoping experienced co-members can help.

I have a Samsung Note 8 from At&t and looking to flash The Note 8 unlocked U1 firmware on to it.

1) Will samsung pay still work?

2) Once i flash the Samsung Unlocked U1 firmware will i receive future updates? If so will they be directly from Samsung or still go through At&t servers?

3) Will my phone get unlocked for other carriers or still be locked to At&t sim card?

Thanks in advance.
