[Moto G 4G Android Development] sevenrock:
I know, once I tried to build a oreo-compatible twrp but failed due to various reasons.

First the old pre-built kernel needs to be rebuilt because of newer selinux stuff

in current kernels. Then you need to include lots of binaries for oreo-decryption

which take so much space that our recovery partition nearly can not handle it,

but its doable.

After all that when booting this recovery image the only thing I saw was the first

screen of twrp were you are asked whether you want to have write access to the

system partition or not. The device is unresponsive and reboots after a second or

so. Later on you can get that twrp kernel log by "adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg"

but it shows nothing interesting for me.

I do not know whether we need some binary blobs to enable oreo decryption or if

everything can be build from source.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Hm...maybe later this week I will give it a go. Never tried it before though ;)

For the kernel, I would've thought you could use the Oreo kernel we have from falcon-oreo
[Moto G 4G Android Development] schrickz:
AFAIK, the only ROM with more recent update for peregrine is Xperience™ ROM https://sourceforge.net/projects/xperience-aosp/files/peregrine/12/nightly/
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Um...who said AEX wasn't updated for peregrine (https://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-aospextended-rom-v5-0-t3693390)

Btw peregrine and falcon use the same msm8226-common device tree and msm8226 kernel so any bits applied to the falcon will almost certainly be applied to the peregrine (the separate device trees are barebones to distinguish 3g/g4 models)
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
I've given it a go now and I've got to the same point as you

I did it my own way to see if I got the same issues as you and with the full kernel (using fastboot boot rather than flashing it to the recovery to allow me to bypass the size restriction) I still get an unresponsive screen at that point

Edit: My last_kmsg is revealing a kernel panic. I'm extremely inexperienced when it comes to kernel panics though so I doubt I will be able to fix it
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
[MENTION=4977500]sevenrock[/MENTION] - I've been tinkering a bit and talking to [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] (LG G4 TWRP maintainer) and he suggested turning off MTP (like I have done here https://github.com/ThePiGuy0/androi...mmit/063e254166d244c4514b757ef3b290d33cbf477b)

This stops the kernel panic and twrp runs without crashing - only issue is that Internal Storage is shown as 0mb and adb doesn't work

Edit: [MENTION=4977500]sevenrock[/MENTION] - progress. With this commit (https://github.com/ThePiGuy0/androi...mit/e5ac4ccff5ebc143fe266276cc6ebd35c0da24f7) twrp works as usual minus ADB and MTP

Also you mentioned the broken busybox. If you use the one from the omnirom GitHub rather than the minimal team win one then it works fine
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
[MENTION=7751333]Allstargaurav[/MENTION] have you changed something in the graphics drivers recently?

All my recent lineage builds have not booted as surfaceflinger crashes extremely early on.

I guess it must be lineage specific as your AEX seems to be fine but I am interested to see if anything changed
[Moto G 4G Android Development] sevenrock:
Hi,

great! What about decryption of an oreo-encrypted device in twrp?

[EDIT 18/08/16]: No, decryption does not work, but building a non-crashing twrp worked ;)

Btw: Since the August security patches our ROMs need

https://github.com/sevenrock/androi...mmit/38c3c72eceac79d4dcb10f04940e8972dd8b2e18
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Any errors when trying decryption (e.g. in a logcat)?

Also that device tree patch - what does it fix?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] sevenrock:
It fixes video recording which got broke with the August security patches, see the two links provided in my commit.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] ThePiGuy:
Ah yes I see. Currently though my lineage doesn't boot :(

Even with all up to date falcon-oreo sources, surface flinger crashes really early on. Strange as it didn't do a while ago
[Moto G 4G Android Development] key-ancel:
when next update :(
[Moto G 4G Android Development] davidnw:
Hi Carlos, if you still have the build environment sitting around, I would be happy to install an updated version of Peregrine, even if it was just updated Android security. If not, thanks for the work you have already done.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] joey000:
Hi folks. I have a peregrine phone, and it had a de-bloated version of Android 6 on it. I recently tried to install LineageOS 14.1, the MicroG version. It worked great, except the cellular data didn't seem to work and the GPS function had a hard time picking up satellites, unless I was outside. I've fiddled with the cellular data feature a bit but haven't gotten it working.

Is there a LineageOS v.15.1 available for peregrine that works? Or 14.1? Or what do people use / recommend for peregrine phones now? My phone may be old, but sometimes old things can still be useful. :)

Also, another question I have is, what do people mean when they say "my Moto G won't boot" or "my Moto G is in a boot loop"? Does this mean that's the end? Or does it mean they can simply pop into recovery or the bootloader and flash other ROMs or restore a backup?

Thanks.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] 197:
I'd recommend using the latest official build of LineageOS to make sure everything works.

Yes, in most cases with a bootloop you'll be able to boot to recovery and reflash a ROM to get it working again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DawgY:
Does anyone here have experience using "adb backup" with his or her Sprint S8+? I posted in the general S8+ forum but was informed that I might have better luck here.

I am using an up-to-date "platform tools" via "sdkmanager" for ADB. I have been told by non-Sprint users that their backup sizes are 1GB+. My sizes have been much smaller than this.

Can anyone comment on this? Thank you!

I can confirm this works on a Verizon Note 8, day 1 about 30 minutes fresh out of the box.

edit: This is on an old school UDP, as the new UDP's don't require any work-arounds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] ixcknyxi:
This works for about 30 seconds then turns off mobile hotspot, any ideas ? I have a note8 for Verizon also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Team DevDigitel:
have you tried the generic one? i know it works for me on sprint

but soft reset the phone or just reboot. as soon as its on, pull down the notification bar and hit hotspot quick.

if it turns on see if it stays on, if so then your good to go, but once you turn it off you'll have to reboot again to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] leyvatron:
Unlocked Note 8 grandfather UDP works fresh out the box with not sim eject bypass.

[MENTION=828388]ixcknyxi[/MENTION] Do you have foxfi or any other hotspot apps installed on your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] ixcknyxi:
Foxfi doesn't work for hotspot just BT and USC on note8. Unlocked versiom works like a charm I am sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] leyvatron:
I know foxfi wifihotspot doesn't work due to the firmware (7.0). I was just asking if you had it installed on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] ixcknyxi:
I have installed, Should I uninstall?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] leyvatron:
No, you can leave it installed.

Turn on (check) the activate bluetooth mode on foxfi then try the sim card bypass method, connect a wifi device while its on, then you can turn off the bluetooth mode on foxfi.

Let me know if that works. Im almost 100% sure it will stay on.

You can try with bluetooth or with USB mode on on foxfi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Emurp23:
Does anyone know if that method worked...debating whether or not to return the Verizon Note 8 to get the Unlocked one from Bestbuy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] ixcknyxi:
I tried the Bluetooth option in FoxFi, nothing worked. The problem is the mobile hotspot doesn't stay on long enough to allow anything to connect. I haven't had luck with signal refresher Lite or Pro either. Any other ideas for the Verizon version of the Note 8?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] leyvatron:
-Try with it on and the phone plugged in with usb.

If that doesn't work,

Uninstall everything and clear cache. I had this issue with my s8+. The hotspot apps you installed are interrupting the hotspot and it shut it off in a few seconds. Remember, you must time it right

This method works 100%. I am with Verizon and I would recommend the unlocked version if you are a heavy hotspot user and if you DO NOT use wifi calling. Using the hotspot doesn't require the sim removal method, it can be a pain in the butt after a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] droidrev71:
I'm a tad baffled because my hotspot works just fine on my Verizon model. No SIM trick needed to activate it.

This worked leyvatron! Thank you so much! Clearing the cache did the trick, for good measure I uninstalled the other apps also.

Ditto that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] droidrev71:
All I did was rename my device and changed password. Worked just like it's suppose to. Wonder why others are having issues?

Yeah that's exactly what I did. Anyone else try that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Nicaragüense:
Are either of you guys on the old school UDP? (droidrev71 or CtrlZThis )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Bizmaniz:
I've only seen this issue when the 4G LTE signal strength isn't great, I've tethered on my phone without issue using this method, no shutoff after 30 seconds. Not sure what's going on your end :-/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] CtrlZThis:
Mines straight out of the box. All I did was change the hotspot name and password.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Bizmaniz:
Hotspot/Tethering on old school UDP is not included unless you paid an extra $30/month for it, which is why this method (or root, or ADP, or an unlocked device) is required.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] CtrlZThis:
With the old grandfathered unlimited plan yes, it's an extra $30 but with the new unlimited plan which isn't so unlimited, the mobile hotspot is free. And they just upped the data amount for hotspot before the hotspot is throttled to 15 gig
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] droidrev71:
Was on old and changed to the new unlimited in March.

I'm assuming now that your on the old udp..correct?

I'm well aware how Verizon's plans are laid out. Your OP wasn't very clear imo.. That explains the mix up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Bizmaniz:
Correct - and being since the new UDP's don't require any shenanigans, I thought this would be obvious. Edited the OP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] CtrlZThis:
I do not no. I got booted off in April for using it like it was.... I don't know... Unlimited. I live in the sticks and don't have Internet so we use our hotspot for everything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] droidrev71:
Sorry, wasn't obvious. Thanks for the edit on the OP. Enjoy your note 8!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Rootuser3.0:
I believe we can flash stock firmware to get tether to bypass?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] loveflying924:
are you saying that the old unlimited data plan allows hotspot on a note 8, unlocked, without any work around? Or are you saying that you need to quickly turn on hotspot after a reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] maxcaos:
BIG thanks!!! it works great on my Verizon Note 8 too ??

and Yes I have the latest update installed on my phone

I'm on the old UDP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] mcdanielvzw:
SIM removal does work for the grandfathered UDP (I have it still), but my question is how will this affect the longevity of the phone + water-resistance? I can't imagine SIM removal was meant to be a daily occurrence.

Edit: everything has a wear rating, whether it is the nano SIM, the eject button, the seal for the housing, or the contacts to read the SIM + MicroSD card. USB connectors have a a wear rating also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] jam2315:
So still as of now if ur (like me) still on old GUD the only trick without paying is the sim card tray. Even if u have an unlocked phone from verizon? Thats the part that has me going nuts. Someone said they had the unlocked from verizon and it worked right out of the box. Im assuming he is on a new plan tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] ACalcutt:
I am on the Gradfathered UDP and have the verizon version of the phone direct from samsung. For me the verizon firmware does prompt that i don't have a supscription, however as mentioned in the other thred, the unlocked samsung version of the firmware doesn't do this.

I was able to change my phone to the unlocked firmware with the instructions here

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/stock-recovery-odin-recovery-software-t3671615

(you do lose verizon specific features, like wifi-calling with this firmware, but for me it wasn't anything i used and I'd rather have the hotspot)

Anybody know if you take the OTA Samsung update for the unlocked Samsung Note 8 if it will break native tethering on Verizon? I've been delaying my update because I really don't want to update and lose tether...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] ACalcutt:
I updated to the latest unlocked firmware OTA and its working fine. I don't think you'll have an issue since the unlocked firmware isn't going to have the verzion provisioning app included in it

Anyone on the grandfathered UDP figured out how to or even if we can pay the extra $10 to remove the video throttle to 720p?

Anyone?

ok just so that i understand since my unlocked Note 8 is being shipped to me.

Im on Verizon UDP and will have an unlocked note 8, tether will work out of the box with or without foxfi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] max366:
Edit: FYI my XDA mobile showed the post above as 11/28/2017. BUUUTTTTT That's not the case on my PC LOL. Anyways the information below may still be useful to someone.

With Verizon grandfathered UDP note 8 new out of the box this is what I did:

Installed BK package disabler and it's associated plugin from the play store.

Search in BK package disabler for "hotspot" disable the red icon Verizon hotspot app.

Set up Wi-Fi network with the wrong password.

In the mobile hotspot settings turn on Wi-Fi sharing

Now at the shortcut menu at th top of your screen arrange it so Wi-Fi is next to hotspot.

Now tap the Wi-Fi icon to turn it on and quickly tap the hotspot icon.

Keep retrying the hotspot icon until it turns blue...

Finally, once the hotspot icon is blue tap the Wi-Fi icon to shut off Wi-Fi

Done hotspot activated :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] android-incredible:
Works out of the box and you don't need foxfi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Mr Medline:
I found the easiest way to use free hotspot with the old grandfathered unlimited plan is the SIM card eject and reinsert method

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

Do you have the grandfathered unlimited plan if so you want free hotspot try the Sim eject method works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] Caliskyhigh:
If you flash unlocked firmware on your Verizon note 8, hotspot will work. I have it and it works fine.

So I am on Verizon N950U running firmware AQI5. I want to flash an unlocked firmware but I know there have been several OTA updates and I am not sure if I can just skip to the latest one nor am I sure of any limitations on the available builds.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes, using the sim card pop out method
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] scottsdca:
I was in the same boat and flashed the unlocked version of the Note 8. I think XAA was the name of it. I'm really happy with it as it got rid of a lot of the Verizon stuff. I still use the Verizon messenger though.

Work for new vzw s9+?

Anyone know if the sim eject method will work on a brand new vzw s9+? I've just upgraded from my rooted lg g3. Only rooted for the hotspot on my gudp (only source of internet). Haven't activated to s9+ yet because of not being able to use the hotspot. Trying to find a work around first.

Hot damn, it works! Took a few times to time it just right but I'm up n running using bluetooth tethering. Now, to figure out how to pair it with my firestick and I'll be good to go. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] maxcaos:
Awesome! ? I hate how stressful it is getting a new phone and not knowing if you can tether ?

Do You like using bluetooth tethering?

I only use Wi-Fi tethering it's usually a lot faster

Sometimes it doesn't work right away, sometimes I have to reboot my phone for it to work.

I just pop my sim out unlock my phone go to my wireless tethering settings push my SIM card back in count to four click the on button for the wireless tethering and as long as I time it right it always turns on it's just if it stays on sometimes... if it turns back off a few times I just reboot my phone it usually works the first time

Is that what you do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] cdput:
Bluetooth is just what I happened to hit on when trying to get the timing right. I'd like wifi much better. Then I know that my tv firestick would work. Lol I don't think my s9+ will allow counting to four. It was pdq on checking for sub. So fast that I didn't think it was gonna work at all. I've been connected for over a hour. Can I switch to wifi without having to start the process all over again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] maxcaos:
So just i booted up my note 9 and stuck my Sim in it got it all set up and then I pull the SIM card out opened up my settings for tethering and i did exactly what I do with my Note 8 and it allowed me to start Wireless tethering immediately first time ?

And and to answer your question once you start tethering you can't switch to anything else whatever you start with is what you have to stick with as far as I know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] cdput:
That's cool. My bluetooth connection is still up and going. I'm gonna try the hotspot later on tonight though.

Can you guys confirm if the sim eject method still works with the latest Google update? Im planning on getting a s9+
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] maxcaos:
It's still working on my note 9.....

But since my note 8 right after I turn on tethering i put my phone in airplane mode immediately count to 10 then turn it off and everything turns on 95%of the time the first time... every once in awhile it has issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] cdput:
I can confirm that it's still working on my s9+. Sometimes it takes several tries because it will turn on and then turn itself right back off. Not sure why that is but once i get it to stay on, it's all good. I usually just leave the hotspot on until it just randomly turns itself off. Most of the time, it'll stay on for days betorre turning itself off.

Not sure of it's related to ejecting the SIM/sd card, but I kinda feel like it is, my messages+ app went screwy and I'm having to use the default messages app for texting. So, just a heads up on that.

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

Why put it in airplane mode? I've not done that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Disc] maxcaos:
I have had issues with my Note 8 and note 9 & Verizon's newer updates with tethering just not connecting for up to 30 minutes of trying... so just my personal experience it seems like it just gets around whatever Verizon uses to kick me off ?
