[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] BtbN:
Is it safe to flash gpt.bin? With other images there was a risk of hard-bricking if something went wrong there.

I only want to update my bootloader and firmware, so for that I'd do:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase DDR

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Question is if I should exclude the gpt.

Also: Is this compatible with reteu, or for what variant is it? I have XT1635-02 reteu.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
Just a headsup, updating only the GPT, bootloader and parts of the firmware is risky - unless you're already on the same patch level of the firmware. This is likely because only a partial flash may result in a mismatch between your system and your bootloader in terms of patch level. I don't recall the GPT causing hard bricks, it's more the bootloader that's a big cause of bricks because of having the aforementioned mismatch.

Thus, if you accept OTA updates, the OTA update will attempt to patch your device thinking that your system and bootloader are on the same patch level. As you've only done a partial update, the OTA will either fail or successfully patch, only to corrupt your mismatched bootloader, leading to a hard brick. We've seen this behaviour with downgrading a device's system (but not bootloader), so it'd be a similar state to your device if you updated like this and then accepted an OTA, and this bricking behaviour has been observed on partially updated Moto G4/Plus, Z Play and X devices, to name a few. Of course, you may receive an OTA update that may bring you to the same patch level as your updated bootloader/GPT, which may work, but it's a gamble.

Thus, if you're gonna update, fully update to the same patch level (that includes modem as well), do not mix and match parts of different builds (or if you do, remember not to update via OTA).

As for whether this build is suitable for EU devices, hopefully those who uploaded the stock ROM can comment.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] BtbN:
I'm running LineageOS and am only looking for a way to update my bootloader and modem firmware.

What confuses me about this: It says NPNS, instead of just NPN or MPN. What's the meaning of those abbreviations?

The listed baseband version ends in an R. The one of other people ends with an e. It this just a typo?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, I don't know if it'll work - in theory, it could as Lineage OS only affects your system/data. Of course, you'd have to remember that if you were to revert back to stock, to reflash at least the same stock ROM as your bootloader patch level.

Still would be better to completely flash the same stock ROM onto your device (of course this would wipe Lineage and TWRP off your device). What do you hope to gain from updating your bootloader/GPT and modem compared to your existing firmware?

As far as I know:

MPN - Marshmallow firmware

NPN - Nougat firmware

NPNS - Nougat firmware with added security patch updates

Usually your baseband, from what I've seen, ends in R (e.g. for Moto G4, our latest basebands end in 62.01R). If it ends in e, it's either a typo or something has gone wrong with the underlying firmware, I've not noted working modem firmware working if ending in anything other than R.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] BtbN:
My current baseband ends in an e, according to the Phone Status page in my settings. See attached image.

Just want to be up to date with what LaOS expects. As it declares 7.1.1 to be the target, and my device has not gotten any firmware updates since the first 7.0 firmware which it updated to when I got it.

On another note, putting the filename into google ends up with this link: https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.co...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Looks pretty official to me. The sha1sum of that file is e94b9690de5417b4499d8995726ccaf5d0492d5e

Hi, hyoga68. I´ve updated my Moto Z Play using RSD, but you can do by prompt. I think you´ll be in trouble if you downgrade ROM, but in this case we´ll be updating, with the newest ROM avaible.

Just to make it clear, my post wasn't for you but for the guy that gave you a "hint". I'm really tired of that kind of attitude. About your question I don't really know the answer so sorry.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Fabio Magalhaes:
Oh, I´m really sorry! My apologies about the post...

Minhas sinceras desculpas 'hermano'. Abraço!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
I don't know the answer if flash should work fine for all custom ROMs, so i didn't have the answer. But i could answer the question about open bootloader by giving my hint which could OP enable to write "go on, everything fine". The answer was given, I did help this way. All that is wrong is your complaint, guess you misunderstood something ;)

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] kkube:
I am on the August patch and want to install the September patch.

any way to update without losing all my data (without wiping everything and doing a clean install)?

I am rooted and also deleted some system apps.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
Using unlocked bootloader it is fine to flash some firmware, just omit the "erase userdata" command when flashing.

Of course there's no guarantee, do Nandroid backup of your data partition and don't forget special treatment of /data/media ;)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] kkube:
did that by omitting

"erase user data" and

"erase ddr"

But was stuck at moto logo.

Also TWRP was asking for encryption password so could not do restore as storage was not mounted. Had to fully flash the firmware wiping all the data.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
The encryption password TWRP asks for is the Android PIN, it is being used to encrypt data partition on first run. Never had such problem, but didn't try this firmware (that's why I wrote "some firmware").

My general approach is that I want to use OTA updates (unroot, maybe restore 1-2 partitions like boot in the state after last OTA done, then do OTA). But I'm always looking if OTA does not work, which firmware would be right to install. Thank you for the information that for you without erase it stuck at boot logo (as written, this is not the standard behavior).
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Ebrahim Ali:
Hi

If my build number starts with npns26 can I flash firmware that begin with npn26?

Will this single difference mean something?Is there a danger of bricking the phone?

Today i rooted my s8+ with trwp and magisk(my first ever root in my life). Before rooting i was getting all my notifications but after that no more notifications. Any solutions? And yes ive checked all my apps to allow push notifications in the settings still no success. And sorry if this is the wrong section, im new here, first thread ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Chechare:
Hi, I used to be an old and loyal user of Sony Xperia, now I am passed to the Dark Side (Samsung xD). I see that there some little difference on flashing and installing Roms, but basically it is the same.

I just wonder know if there exists such thing like a generic or unbranded firmware (maybe global) for the S8 and where I can get it. I am from México and my carrier is Telcel, so I am tired of all his bs bloatware they install.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MrSteelX:
Just use pm uninstall -k --user 0 name.apk to remove the junk
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jpcdeux:
Go to Updato.com and search for firmware for the G950U1. The XAA version is carrier free. It contains NO carrier bloat and is generally much smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Chechare:
My model is G950F, it doesn't care?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Chechare:
I suppose it requires root, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Pawbrotm:
No, you just have to do it with a PC via adb. Also instead of name.apk you have to use package name (like com.xyz.zyx, you can list them with adb shell pm list packages). G950F clean European firmware has XEU CSC.

G950F and G950U are different. U version uses Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU while F has Samsung Exynos

[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] rickgillyon:
Okay, I have my Fit 2 Pro and wanted to set it up to always on. Set it to always on, wakeup gesture disabled, low brightness, great stuff.

Worked most of the day, then started going screen off instead of going to the clock mode when it times out. Any ideas? Not great for the first day... :(
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] Motorpsycho:
Though i deactivated Always On again, i can say that when i tried it, it worked for me without problems.
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] rickgillyon:
Yes, thanks, been working for me since too. Restarting the watch didn't help, but restarting watch and phone brought back always on. Weird. Been fine since.

Although with Always On I use use 75% of the battery in a day...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
I have an unbranded (unlocked) Note 8 straight from Samsung. None of the dialer/hidden codes work. Any idea how to enable them?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Genesis730:
What have you tried? I have the same and they work. There's no setting to enable/disable
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
I don't know what to try to be honest. They just don't work. I've tried the usual ones *#1234#, *#*#4636#*#* etc. None work, the phone just does nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
You can use a shortcuts app to do the hidden codes. A bunch of them work. I accidentally enabled some stupid on-screen display thing so when I do power off it displays some messages that tell me it is sending a shutdown command. Now I can't remember which one it was to turn that thing off....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me2151:
I believe you want *#9900# then scroll down to the shutdown option
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
That has a similar setting, this time the culprit was me changing the build.prop to say my device type was userdebug instead of just user. Changed it back and voila, no more shutdown text!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
Still not working for me. I even did a factory reset and tried the dialer codes before even inserting a SIM card (thought Verizon provisioning played a trick on my unbranded N8). Any idea why they aren't working?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
What are these codes for, again?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
hidden menus for adjusting or testing various settings, as far as i can tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
These work (unlocked note 8)

*#011# service mode

*#9090# diagnostic information

*#0*# hardware diagnostic

*#7353# quick test menu

This is not exhaustive, just me trying stuff out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
Yeah.... none of these work for me. None at all. I'm kinda fed up with all the small nagging issues. The phone is going back to Sammy. I'll just go get one from Verizon store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] LpSk8r:
Got a Verizon branded phone. These do not work str8 from vzw either. But vzw phones are unlocked either way. Verizon has disabled the ability to enter in codes from dialer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jellyhead:
This is exactly why I as well as others are questioning why there aren't carrier specific forums for the Note 8 as there have been for every other note. There is too much confusion when we're all on the same forum to solve these problems. You have people posting how to do this or that but it doesn't work for every model/carrier.

You have to go to

/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu

And change the setting from off to on... but root is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Didn't OP specifically state he has unlocked, unbranded phone?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cplasse9:
This is a struggle ive been working with since switching to Vzw. I did the same thing. I started the phone without a SIM and the dialer codes work. Once I put the SIM in, the phone said it needed to restart to apply carrier settings. Once it restarted, the dialer codes no longer worked. Samsung must have special coding to lock this down once a Vzw SIM is inserted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RangerVegas:
I am having the same exact issue. I have a SM-G955U1 from Best Buy. And noone seems to be able to provide any clear information on what this exact model means other than agreeing it's not locked to any one cellular provider. But the type of firmware locking or unlocking seems to be in debate. I tried using several dialer codes on the phone. And all of them just sit there on the screen after entering them. Instructions for using dialer codes seem to be a bit obscure also as to WHAT you do AFTER entering the code, when you press the last code digit is it supposed to work immediately? Are you supposed to hit the Dial button afterwards? I did have the developer options unlocked at one point but I don't think I did it thru a dialer code, I think it was a side button press combination, however this menu is gone now also after the last samsung experience update I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XGC75:
Similar issue here on the Note 9 (SM-N960U1), I imagine our issues are similar. When I dial *#*#34777#*#* (by copy+paste) in the default dialer app and call, I hear the "can not complete the call" message. When I use the FiSwitch app, the app tells me "Current default dialer does not have proper permissions for dialer codes to work" via pop-up.

My theories are 1a) The dialer isn't capable of executing the dialer codes 1b) the dialer+SIM card compatibility or features are preventing the dialer from being able to execute the dialer codes; 2) Google Fi does not allow this specific model (and N8 models equally) from switching networks, or 3) the software isn't capable, either 3a) configuration needed, 3b) driver updates needed, or 3c) drivers not tested and therefore blocked or 3d) Pie is needed (for any of the aforementioned reasons).

I haven't found a solution up to now. Fi support isn't helpful in this case (they say if the phone doesn't switch it's not compatible, no further explanation given). What are the differences between people's phones+firmware that don't accept dialer codes and that do? Has anybody solved this on the N8 without a firmware flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nugzo:
Once the last digit in the code is typed it is supposed to work at that time. u should never have to hit dial. if you enter the code and it does nothing, you hvae one from a carrier that doesnt support us using these codes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
If you guys want the dialing codes to work then you need root access and you'll need to make a change to 1 file in the EFS folder go to /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu open up the hiddenmenu folder and change it from OFF to ON then save it and reboot and voila the codes work. The codes will also persist and continue to work even after updates and such.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ichisadashioko:
In my case, the codes were working right after I bought the phone but they were no longer worked after I re-flashed the stock firmware (to disable shutter sound). I think we may need to insert a SIM card for the phone to "active". After that the codes may be working again. However, I am not going to do that because it will re-enable the "cannot be disabled" shutter sounds again (in my country).
