Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.

Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

To show the update received

​

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.

Instructions-

If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.

If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

how twrp can update stock firnware? i have gotten from 3.2 to android 4.0 like 4-5 years ago on my old samsung galaxy tab 10.1 back when all you had to do was flash zip file in stock recovery....
[Honor 5C Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:

[Honor 5C Guides, News, & Discussion] thelous:

Yes coz twrp wont b able to flash that file.

[prjkt.io] bflmpsvz:
HI, wihile I'm able to initially apply a theme, I'm confused about the many choices in the paintbrush menu when I want to change an individual theme setting (eg. accent colour).

Firstly before everything refreshes the change takes a very long. to apply

Secondly the changed value not always appears in the UI, coz I'm not quite sure if using right action.

Build & enable, Build & update, Change overlay, what are exact differences between these?

I see that if I choose build & choose, the change is more like to apply, but Substratum creates a new element beside the old, and I want to replace the previous.

Also I would expect some kind of preview before applying the customized item. As I wrote, the change takes long to apply to UI, and from the menu it's not always clear how it will look.

I need some more insight how things do work. Is there a comprehensive tutorial for using Substratum?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarana2000:
I have Oneplus One running CM11 44s Kitkat 4.4.4

So I updated Facebook app and as soon as it updated, my phone rebooted and entered bootloop. I entered Safe mode and uninstalled FB, but now all apps are randomly crashing. Trebuchet stops working, cant access settings, Settings stopped working. This all happens continuously.

So I formatted and reinstalled CM11 44s, but in this fresh OS, as soon as I install Facebook, all of the above crashing n all, starts allover again!!

Again, I flashed a fresh copy of CM11 and decided not to install FB this time, but as soon as I install/update any app , everything crashes and phone enters bootloop. (I downloaded a fresh copy of CM11 incase the one I had was corrupted)

What is the problem is beyond me! Please help.

P.S: I installed Nougat after this and it ran fine with all apps, but I went back to CM11 and again I am stuck.

Please help!!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
So I found a SM-N950F/DS on Ebay (They had a few)

When I first opened the Box I thought " Ohhh - did I goof or what - This thing is a weird size!"

I do not like the Curved Screen - but I knew it was curved when I ordered it.

This version has a Holder for either 1 SIM and 1 microSD card - or 2 SIMS

It also came with a Nice not too thick Clear Plastic Case

NOTE: I cannot register it at Samsung's web site (Well at USA's Web site)

I am looking into if I can manage to register it on some other country's Samsung site

It seems fast but I am coming from S7 and Note 4

I sold the S7 and an iPhone SE 64G to help pay for this

I prefer the Note 4 size and screen - but I will see how it goes after a week and report back.

I read a lot on my Note 4 (Both Documents and ebooks) and found it's screen size great, I am not so keen on the Note 8's screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
So far I am starting to get used to the size.

Battery lasted all day yesterday.

I unplugged it at 515 AM at 9PM it was still going , and I downloaded a lot of data yesterday.

(Large files for some apps I have)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
A bit more:

I do not mind the home button being on screen - I have always worried about the Home button going bad. (I only had one that was going bad but still)

(I still do not like the curved screen - I just see no advantage of it so far)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
I just discovered a handy setting (for me) :

No more need to slide to answer!

Accessibility -> Single Tap Mode = Allows answer by just a tap vs slide to answer on lock screen.

Keep getting more and more into this Amazing Phone!

(But I still an not keen on size/shape).

It is getting easier to hold now at least - just note ever going to be as nice from reading with curved and narrower screen vs my trusty old Note 4

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
my man, i've been wanting to buy it from there too, but i'm afraid that after i open the box and wait the OEM unlock won't show up.

Do you know if the box was already opened and sim activated with the regional sim prior to sale? Let me know asap , gonna get the orchid grey from them hopefully
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
Mine was not opened.

Not sure what Regional SIM is?

I am in /usa/oh/cmh (Columbus)

By the way I got a 3.99/month Protection plan too!

First Protection plan I ever bought. But seeing as I could not register it with Samsung I thought I would for a year anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
regional sim, meaning the device had to be opened and a sim card from the region of which the device was bought had to be inserted prior to use.

How many days did it take for OEM Unlock to show up? Are you on a different rom? Can you provide screenshots for proof before i pull the trigger on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
I just put in my SIM from the last phone I was using (And I have also used a FreedomPop as the 2nd SIM - along with a SIM from US Mobile)

As far as I know it was always there. But I did have one large update after I received it.

No Root or other mods done to it.

I have not turned it on - no reason to for me right now.

Excellent news!

You purchased yours from never-msrp right?

How long did it take for you to receive it and was it shipped domestically or sent from Taiwan/HK?

Does never-msrp provide warranty? I cant find any information in their listings about warranty coverage, who is responsible for costs of shipping to them and them shipping replacement back.

And it has OEM UNLOCK? Did OEM UNLOCK option appear after a week of activating and owning it or did it appear immediately?

Was it the first batch from Taiwan (apparently the first batch was from Taiwan. dont know where second onwards is from..)?

What color is yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
Yes I got it from them (As I said)

I ordered on the 16th and received it on the 19th (Sept)

I think they are in USA you can look on ebay

You can get with them for the shipping if returned.

They do not have a warranty. (well maybe 30 days)

I bought a warranty they suggested (as I mentioned in a post) for 3.99 per month

I answered the OEM lock questions

Mine is gold

No idea about batches, I just got it before I started this post

Not sure why you ask about the OEM unlock appearing later. As far as I know it was always there.

You need to get developer options to show first naturally
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gran_T:
Hello, Thank you for sharing experience.

Where/how did you buy protection plan? On their page there is no option to add protection plan.

Did you buy on the time of buying the phone or did you add it later?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:
It was/is https://www.cpscentral.com/

I think I rec'd a notice when I bought it

But a day later I got an email (I think from the seller with info on that warranty

Edit: It was an email from never-msrp on 9-24 so a few days after I bought it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] w8wca:

I am VERY careful with my phones too!

I did not want to but I ordered a Whitestone Dome for it just now.

The dings are so small I will not be able to see them after i put it on.
