[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LIVEFRMNYC:
I gave it a try. The Oculus software worked fine, that's no problem. But the Note 8 fits very tight. Actually, the latch doesn't completely grasp the phone 100% like it suppose to. I understand why Samsung made a Note 8 version. I don't feel completely comfortable using it without the Gear VR cover on, afraid it might pop out(unlikely but not chancing it). So I'll just use this with the cover on for now on. I don't use the pass-through cam anyway.

That's great then I thought I wouldn't be able to view my gear360 content
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Maybe a rubber band could help secure it. But is the image noticeably askew due to the incomplete insertion?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LIVEFRMNYC:
No the image is perfectly fine. Everything is fine except it being a perfect fit. But when you use the wheel on top to focus, just be mindful as the phone moves when you do that. I would recommend just putting on the Gear VR cover, just incase.

Which Theme are you using on your Note 8 in the YouTube-demo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] josue85:
It's called Firefly Moonlit http://www.samsung.com/global/themestore/index.html?appId=com.xjmaihe.www.Fireflymoonlit&SITE_CODE=us
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
Yeah, it's a snug fit. It barely goes over the top of the phone. I'm personally not sure about using the two together. I think I'll bite the bullet and keep my order for the new VR. I don't want to mess up my charging port or mess up the phone. It isn't cheap. I actually opened my sealed VR headset to try it out. I know the note is durable but I guess I'm OCD..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mediocrates:
I'd spring for the new one also. I purchased one from a Sprint store, day before yesterday, and ended up returning it yesterday. The guy said the model number was the same as the one I showed him (VAXAR) Note 8 version, and I took his word for it. It ended up being the (KAXAR) S8 version. Oh yeah, the Note 8 fits, just barely, but I wasn't going to force it into the slot, and the latch that goes on the top end, just barely holds on. On top of that, the phone is slightly skewed, so you'll never quite have it in focus. Nope, I'll get one that's actually made for it, and never trust an associate again.

This video here sums it all up

[youtube]wvhWHvyppfg[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Nice video but a little confusing in that it keeps referring to the "2017" Gear VR, but both the S8+ VR (with controller) and the Note 8 VR are 2017 models. I think what's shown is the S8+ VR.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
TK clearly mentioned towards the end that VR models(black ver.) with and without the controller will fit the note 8, one version being a bit snuggier fit than the other.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Right but there exists a 2017 Gear VR with controller that came out with the S8+, and a different 2017 Gear VR with controller that came out with the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah but this guy says it fits the one for the S8 and S8+, which is the earlier 2017 model. He says he used to think the S8+ was the limit for size (again, clearly must be the earlier model from this statement) but now he realizes that the Note 8 is actually the size limit for this older VR headset (by older, I mean like 6 months old, haha).

Good video! Clarifies all I needed to know. I'm buying the old headset since they cost about $50-$80 less online.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
Neither model is the new note 8 edition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
To make it simple, if you own any black model VR, it'll fit fine, with the earlier models fitting a bit snuggier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Thanks. :) It's rather confusing of Samsung to use the same name for several slightly different products with slightly different degrees of compatibility..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
Yes I agree
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
The Gear VR with Controller Galaxy Note8 Edition (SM-R325) is compatible with the Note8 and earlier devices back to the Galaxy S6. The Gear VR with Controller (SM-R324) is not compatible with the Note8, but is still compatible back to Galaxy S6.

The volume adjustment rocker has been removed from the Gear VR with Controller Galaxy Note8 Edition (SM-R325). You can still easily adjust the volume with the controller or from the phone.

The locking mechanism on the Note8 Edition (SM-R325) has been upgraded to allow for easier installation and removal of your Galaxy phone from the headset

From Samsung's site.. Yes, I tried the 2017 vr from S8+ promo and it's too tight. Can't wait for the note edition.

Don't spread misinformation. [youtube]B1V5Szar6Vw[/youtube] start at 9:08
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
You start at 9:08.. I copied and pasted that from Samsung's site. I own all the gear vr's only one my note will fit in is the the one given with S8 plus. It's very tight! Read my whole post before passing judgement.

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

How did this "sum it all up?"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] princeasi:
Any links to the source you copied and paste from? However, if it is from Samsung's website, it doesn't negate my claim of misinformation. It's been shown and proven in both videos I referenced that all black models VR will fit and operate the Note 8 properly without any modifications.... Don't red herring. I wasn't disputing whether it's a tight fit or not. My objection was to your "not compatible" statement which is false because it has been shown and explained in the links I posted that it (SM-R324) is compatible. Once again don't misinform. Respectfully, if you can't comprehend how either link addresses the concerns of whether or not the Note 8 will fit any of the blk model VR's properly, then there's no need to elaborate with you any further on this discussion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faceless:
thanks for this thread zonly1!

i didn't like that it sat unevenly and saw the thread by doblebo about the 2016 edition so i decided to make it fit better on my 2017 edition using similar technology... a paring knife.

i shaved a few mm of plastic from the left eye side and it's pretty flush... iven violently shook it over my bed and it didn't pop out. it didn't even budge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] advocate2:
I stopped by a Best Buy last night. They have a dedicated Samsung area with the SM-R324 on display. I took the S7 out of the unit and inserted my Note 8. While it is a tight fit, the SM-R324 worked fine. I tested the focus which came in very clear. It would be easier if folks used model numbers rather than year of the model. The 2016 was the SM-R323. The early 2017 model is the SM-R324, and the Note 8 edition is the SM-R325.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
I finally figured it out. I have 2 VR glasses, one that came with Note 7 in 2016 and one from S8 in 2017. Originally neither would fit on my Note 8, until I realized one USB C adapter is shorter by about 2 mm than the other. When swapped adapters and used the shorter one on R324, from 2017 then it worked. I do not know which adapter came with which glasses, since I swapped them in the past few times, but I think I can understand now why some people with R324 can fit Note 8 and some can't, maybe because somehow they have longer USB C adapter. Either way it's not a good fit and I may need to do some modification, to make the fit better, but it works out of the box, if you have right adapter. Actually, with the shorter adapter Note 8 fits in both glasses, even the 2016 some people got with Note7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
I got my Note 8 to fit in my S8+ gear VR, but it was so tight that I did not keep it in the headset. I think it needs shaving for the N8 to fit, and even then it seems iffy. Also, the N8 is thicker and it seemed too thick to fit in the rubber piece that is in the non-usb C clamp/side. I figured I'd need to use a razor blade to that too to make it fit right. Oculus did install in the brief time I had my N8 in the S8+ holder, but the fit was so tight as IMO it would cause damage to the N8 so I haven't tried it since.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djrobinn:
This is all good information guys. I got an S8 earlier in the year and as a part of the pre-order promo, got the VR headset and controller with it... the SM-R324 I believe. Then I got a Note 8 in November. It wasn't until a rep at the Samsung store told me that I tried to fit the Note 8 into it. As everyone has already said, it is a REALLY snug fit. I'm really tempted to shave off some of the rubber in the adapter area. The Note 8 does manage to stay in, but I have a 'soft' screen protector on it that now has a little square around the earpiece area permanently engraved there. It doesn't affect anything but it's just an annoyance to look at when the screen is off.

Let me know if the paring off has worked for anyone and where exactly we should shave off the plastic/ rubber to give it a better fit. Pictures would be great! In my experience, these VR Headsets have zero resale value so trying to sell it on Kijiji or Letgo and buying the Note 8 version is not an option. I still have the 2016 edition sitting around :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aznmode:
Because of this thread I ended up buying the s8 version and while the note 8 fits, it is very tight. If you have skin and screen protector, it's even tighter. Be aware that your skin and screen protector will have marks on it after several use. I can see my skin and screen protector getting damaged eventually. On a naked note 8 I don't see any issue using in a s8 version of the VR.

For me, time is money and I'd rather get the right VR than having to reapply new skin and screen protector. It's kind of a pain in the ass to apply these. The imprint is now bugging me and hasn't gone away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] oren_b:
Other than saving a bit of money, is there any reason to avoid the SM-R325 and prefer the SM-R324 if my phone the S8? I know both can be used, but is there any reason to prefer one over the other?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Id personally get the R325. Just in case you upgrade to the Note 8 or Note 9.

but the problem encountered now is, every time i reboot the stock recovery will show up twice and then boot logo

also i can't finish Sultan's update every time i boot into TWRP and flash with the zip, it shows up & run for a few second and returned into main page and nth happened.

I am thinking will all these because of the stock recovery? can i remove it? thx in advance.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] sandeep_kumar:
How did you unlock the phone and flashed TWRP. Please explain every step to understand the problem because I have flashed the TWRP and installed the custom ROM many a time.

Have you tried any other sms application? Could just be the stock messaging app.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Do you have a setting for advanced messaging or something similar? On T-Mobile it's called advanced messaging and it's T-Mobiles alternative to RCS which allows them to send up to 10MB and other similar iMessage-like features. It has something to do with the way it concerts and sends as mine does the same thing but if I turn off advanced messaging it will send both picture and text in one bubble.

Thanks all. I found out that if the share larger files slide is on that it makes the 2 bubbles. Pic attached.

I'm with unlocked bootloader and Stock ROM. Did only two modifications, installed TWRP and then rooted my device.

An OTA update showed and I clicked yes, it rebooted into TWRP and now I can't boot normally anymore!

Even flashed some custom ROMs, but still, TWRP only reboot to itself.

How can I restore Stock ROM? or any other ROM??

Hello dear all,

I have managed to brick my LG G5 like an Old Mill Brick.

My LG G5 (lg g5 h850 titan) does not boot. It comes with an error message as follows: Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot. :(

What I already did to Unbrick:

Tried to unlock the OEM. No way from USB Debugging as I cannot go into OS.

Tried unlock the OEM from fastboot (remote: oem unlock is not allowed).

Tried to flash some things like (boot.img, system.img) even adb sideload stuff. Nothing works. I cannot flash anything because (flashing not allowed) because OEM is not unlocked, but cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. WHAT in the brick do I have to do now?

Cause of the brick of the bricks:

The LG G5 was on LineageOS, all stable and solid. When a prompt appeared telling me that I have to update the OS. So I was like yeah ok whatever. BUT, it did from OTA. I also had a specific LineageOS APP for updating the OS. After some minutes (updating) I immediately panic and started worrying. BECAUSE, I knew what time it was (my device is dead). I wanted to turn my phone off but it was already in Recovery (TWRP). So I just hit cancel. BUT after booting up the LG G5 that corrupt device error appeared and I cannot manage to get rid of it. :(

Please I need your help! I also watched and tried (2+ hours) to manage to solve this via Google and different links and Unbrick guides but nothing happens. I cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. I cannot flash anystuff because the OEM is not unlocked.

Update: So, there is no Recovery System present. No stock Recovery, No TWRP. And I think no OS either. So only thing that is present is the bootloader screen smh.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] firenemesis7:
Can you still get to TWRP?

I think TWRP is gone too :/
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] firenemesis7:
You should be able to get into download mode. Hold the volume up button with phone fully powered down. While you hold the volume up button insert the usb cable. Then you can flash the full system kdz with LGUP

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pwnerman:
I just got this phone and I'm debating on unlocking the bootloader and rooting it and I was just curious if in the future I need to return it to stock (especially for selling it in the future) how do you go about doing that? Do you just flash one of the stock firmwares though TWRP like I found here? http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G6/US997/US997-USA/US99714a

Then what do you do if that is correct? Also how do you relock the bootloader? I'm sorry if these are noob questions but I have been out of the modding game for a good while.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Just flash a kdz trough LGup and the phone will be completely stock, no twrp and no root. Then you have to only lock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock". Don't run this command while you have twrp and root!

Ah, and the fact you have relocked the bootloader doesn't mean that you recovered the manufacturer warranty, LG can easily verify if you used the unlock bin.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pwnerman:
What exactly is LGup? Thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Is a tool that allows firmware flashing on last lg devices.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pwnerman:
I did some searching and found this. Is it the correct thing? http://rootmygalaxy.net/download-latest-lgup-tool-for-lg-devices-flash-tool/

Also just to be clear I unlock my bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone. If I ever want to go back to stock for selling the phone or whatever I just download the latest KDZ file like I linked to above and then I flash it to the phone and it will return everything back to stock? Then after that you just do the relock command and the bootloader is closed again?

I appreciate your help. I just to be super clear.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Pretty much yes, search for uppercut if you have driver problems with LGup, and for firmwares this is the best site to download them: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870-firmwares/

LGUP

Hi, so I started flashing the kdz on my LG G6 using LGUP and it starts, but then randomly quits out. It's recognising my device and the file is definitely the correct one. Any hints as to why it's not working?

EDIT: I managed to fix it, apparently Windows Defender was seeing Uppercut as a virus and stopping it from creating the files it needed to. So make sure you turn off Windows Defender when you do this.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] bobafel:
My experience with returning phone to stock is bad. First unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, bootloader for havoc ROM and ROM itself..

Havoc 3.1 OK, but BT calling not working, so I decide go back to stock.

LGUP used without problem, but then camera neither flash ligh doesnt work anymore.

Last firmware for H870 used from official.

Have someone same shi t experience like me?

Trying everything, but no success.

So its not easy go back to stock again..

(My phone is H870 for EU)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] grushnickij:
It's a known problem, the A10 ROMs somehow mess with files needed for stock camera that aren't included in stock pie.

You have to flash Oreo bootloader and then 30b zip for the camera to work.

If that doesn't work flash Oreo kdz and update to Pie.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] bobafel:
Problem finally solved!

Tried many times flash Oreo bootloader and then 30b(pie), 20a (oreo). With 30b everythings work except camera. With oreo 20a phone wasnt even bootup normally.. (after reset just screen with green android and message "No commands" appear. I used LG UP 1.14 with Uppercut.

Then after many unsuccesses I put phone to state where bootloop appeared and I thought about to throw it into garbage.

ADB shell and TWRP saved me... I was again able flash roms.

At the end I found some package with LG UP 1.14 and patch (so I could use it without Uppercut...there is a new LGUP_common DLL), and with this combination flash procedure worked smoothly.

BUT! I had to load nougat stock rom first (H87011i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0108.kdz), which fix partitions in phone somehow (but there wasnt possibility upgrade higher). Everything, camera included was working with this rom..

Then I flash oreo stock rom (H87020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0423.kdz), and now It booted right (no "no command" during startup). Phone worked perfectly, and I used OTA upgrade to land on 30b pie last official update.. tadaaa :)

Hope it will help others with same problem..

I've read people claim magnetic mounts can cause permanent damage to the Spen functionality and some saying Samsung reps even claim it's bad.

Have any of you used magnetic mounts on your previous Note phones? Any advice?

Also, some say their Note phone is already magnetic and can stick right on a mount without a metal plate attached to a case, like normal. Any experience with that?

This seems like an important issue to work out!
