Just picked up the Note 8 U1 for use on AT&T, switching from a S8+ that was AT&T unlocked. I don't use WiFi calling, advanced messaging was cool but not having it won't hurt, I think. VOLTE is the big question, I know it's voice over LTE but how will that effect me talking and surfing the web at the same time?

I just use alternative app like Duo from Google Play Store. It works with or without WiFi and the app is make by Google

Same issue running into with the 950U1 + s8 + s3 watch and numbersync.. they say voltE needs enabled, but that if i try the sim card swap the system will eventually detect a non att phone and disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wtf911:
Has anyone had anymore luck with BYOD such as a 950u1 getting volte?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] johnny2808:
I know this is a very old thread, but still no VoLTE Wifi Calling on my unlocked Galaxy S9 G960U1 on AT&T.

There's chatter that all unlocked capable BYOD devices will be activated for VoLTE on AT&T by the end of this year, if that's true at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] scuba1999:
I'm interested in VoLTE for Exynos Galaxy S8. I have had this phone on AT&T for years, and it switches to 3G ("H+" in the status bar) when calling.

Anyone able to achieve? It sounded like D.Cortez did, but I had a hard time following his post... But can't figure out a "normal" reason that the AT&T rep would be ok to flash an IMEI (from a snapdragon s8) onto my account, even if I could reach someone who knew how.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] scuba1999:
Edit: Ok, Now I've spent another hour reading. It sounds like I need

1. a link / source for the CSC of a ATT snapdragon S8. (some of the sources people have used have bugs).

2. Clarification on how to flash CSC. Can I just use Odin? People in the relevant threads just say "flash" CSC, but I've read mention of not doing that with Odin.

3. (related to #1) I own an ATT S8, but in order to read the CSC of it for flashing purposes, don't I need to achieve root on it, and take a Nandroid backup of it, but problems rooting the US ATT S8 is why I use the Exynos one in the first place.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mean_liar:
LG G5 RS988.21c, running stock ROM w/ Nougat 7.0, unlocked bootloader w/ root by SuperSU

I got the PurifyOS Xposed up and running (https://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221)... kind of. The installer APK showed itself as installed and active, but none of the modules seemed to function. Has anyone been able to get the (unstable) PurifyOS to work for their LG G5?

Now, in the Xposed Installer it states that topjohnwu's Systemless-via-Magisk Xposed works on LG (https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268). Can someone confirm that to me? The install process isn't what I'm used and specifically the admonition under Magisk's install instructions to "Make sure to remove any other root, best to restore your boot image back to stock" isn't going to work for me as there isn't a stock RS988 21c boot image available.

Now, that said, I think that uninstalling SuperSU via the in-app uninstaller should work to clean up the boot image to stock in order to allow a clean-as-possible Magisk install, but that whole process currently seems daunting and I'm hoping someone is going to fly into this thread and utter the magic phrases that'll get my Xposed up and running without me having to stumble my way through the Magisk/Magisk Manager/Systemless Xposed process.

Help? If you have any experience with a successful and operational Xposed, please let me know, as well as what model LG G5 you're using. Thanks!

Hi everyone I'm new with WM, before I had only Symbian. I have ATT Tilt which I've unlocked and updated to Kaiser firmware, with help of this forum. Before Skype worked perfect for me, I had WM6 pro, but now when I've upgraded to WM6.1 it wont work, during loading message appears: Failed to load file. I've tried to reinstall it for few times... no help. Maybe somebody knows any solution for that problem. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
Seriously, does ANYONE read anything around here before they jump into a new ROM? Would you jump into a pool BEFORE looking to see if any water was in it? How many threads have people already posted and said "NOT ALL APPLICATIONS ARE WORKING ON 6.1" Start reading, read some more, THEN post a relevant question. :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
Downgrade back to WM6? Though I think I read somewhere that once you upgrade, you can't go back. There was a thread where people were finding problems with their phones after they went back to 6 that going back to 6.1 again didn't solve.

I remember when Vista first came out and the reports of programs failing left, right and centre. That's one of the main reasons I'm not bothering to upgrade until the compatability issues are resolved...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] odessit:
Is there any alternative program, that is also works with Skype network? I know Fring, but it's not so good. Maybe there are others?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] xcoryedgex:
Any way you'd be needing help continuing this particular endeavor?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Sure, trace out pad G31 from the CPU and cut it (that is QFPROM programming power), and then short it to ground. After that, flash firmware that has a higher ARB version and see what happens :)

If there is no power, fuses can't be blown, so ARB can't be incremented. Also, if we use the debug firehose, the debug fuse wouldn't blow.

I am not willing to test this theory with any of my phones though....

Can ARB be disabled

Is the PBL that verifies the SBL or XBL and prevents firmware downgrade located in the eMMC with the SBL and other files or in a physically seperate storage medium, can it be modified via jtag box or any other method to disable ARB without replacing hardware, and would modifying the tot/kdz also work
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
runningnak3d can probably answer this better than I, but I'll give one anyway, and he can supplement if needed :D

One: Yes

Two: No. Downgrade is not prevented by any part of the bootloader. It's prevented by LGUP. Though if you try to downgrade you'll have a dead phone.

Three: There is no eMMC in LG V20. There is UFS - Universal Flash Storage. If you're suggesting PBL is on there, it's not, it's in the CPU itself (internal eprom).

Four: No, it can not be disabled. Perhaps as a challenge to the most well equipped and competent engineers and scientist you can think of, yes, maybe then.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
The only thing I can think of to add to [MENTION=6814590]askermk2000[/MENTION]'s post is that you can disable ARB from incrementing by cutting a lead on the motherboard and sending it to ground. However if ARB has been incremented you can never go back to a lower version.

Do you know what pin to short to force it into download mode?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
I hope you can see yourself from your post how unnecessary and annoying it is when quoting a large post like that.

As to your question:

Are you saying LG has implemented a function to bypass bootloader verification and boot directly to LAF partition? Or is this simply a case of confusion?

See, this V20 goes into EDL (emergency download) mode automatically, there is no need to short any testpoints to get 9008 mode, unless you'd want

to enter that mode even when the phone is NOT bricked, although that wouldn't do you much good. EDL/9008 = Dead phone, at least in the case of most

phones these days.

I don't believe those testpoints (if they even exist) are known for the V20, perhaps if you can get a hold of the datasheet/repair manual.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] r4736:
I did not, I was busy this morning, but I fixed that now.

Yes this is why I am asking around seeing if anyone has those (datasheet/repair manual). Also yes trying to get it into emergency download mode since it is not on its own.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
Ok I never would have guessed you where asking because of that...

If you get into edl mode, then there is only one possible option for you, and that is to use the LG firehose that is around, but no one has dared to use as of yet because it likely will mess up your phone.

I found it over a year ago at gsmhosting forum. The thread in question indicated that it was only for data retrieval, and that the phone would be unusable afterwards. [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] by his own analysis, also came to suspect something like that might happen if you use it.

That's why I said getting into 9008 mode wouldn't do you any good, but I guess if you have no other option it might be worth a try.

Edit: Well actually, you might be able to get someone with octoplus or such box to fix it, if you can get into 9008. It doesn't work for H918 but might for you.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] r4736:
Yeah, it's fun. I wasn't paying attention and used did to restore the aboot backup while in USB mode. So it does practically nothing. Detectable by nothing, nothing on the screen. The only signs of life are it doing the power on vibrate, and the creek will only come on to blink a ! Battery warning if plugged in with battery removed. Thank goodness it's just a spare, v30 visits my daily.

I'm half thinking about taking it to a LG repair center here in Hong Kong. If it's not expensive if like to have it working.

Apologies for resurrecting a month old thread, I usually don't resort to posting, but I cannot find an answer to my problem in the ~700 pages I've read between here and development.

Long story short, I had a scare the other night fiddling with some build.prop settings resulting in a bootloop. I had been so stupid when I got this phone and flashed it I was on my Ubuntu partition which I no longer have. I never backed anything up, let alone install and get the sdk/adp working on my win10 drive. I am so lucky I was able to get it to finally boot without losing any data.

So I figured it's time to update. Here's what I know. I am bootloader unlocked, unencrypted, and rooted. I'm on H918, the last cmremix that was released, Jan 1 2017, 7.1.1. From what I can tell was compiled with sdk 25. However I'm showing "unknown" under baseband, and mbn, there's also multiple mentions of different sdks throughout different system files.

I've tried ripping apart a twrp system image backup for any mention of ARB, but to no avail. I've tried digging through multiple threads to determine a timeline when ARB was implemented, again to no avail, since I don't technically know which version I'm actually on.

Are there any adb commands or specific system file I can tear apart to determine my devices status in regards to flashing a 10p+ ROM. I've seen multiple mentions of if you're already unlocked and rooted it's much easier to keep it, but I've also seen just as many stating the opposite.

Again sorry for the novel, and bringing up a month old thread.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoenix591:
You're almost certainly arb 0 (pre10p) since you were on that old rom. There are checks in x86cpu's lineage builds that makes it error out if it's the wrong one before it does anything too.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyk240:
Yeah, I'm about 40min deep into the "Checking for updates" screen, so I'm pretty hopeful everything went okay. I'm going to post a step by step in x86's thread for people coming from outdated ROM's like I was, if everything goes okay.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] tripLr:
I searched the forums related to my board, and saw this thread dealing with the nitty gritty of the CPU itself and bootloader. I am working on a development environment for the note 4, saw this dev board , and now I am trying to learn how to develop ROMs using this board rather than a phone. Reading about the bootup sequence in the OP was very interest ing. Having loaded Linux, I am trying to figure out the phone bootloader process. Seeing as how keys can be flashed into registers on the chip itself and compared to code in the boot process made me do some thinking.

Just learning here. Thanks for the deeper insight of this thrrad

What's interesting is all the other devices that use snapdragon 810 and other like processors are still being manufactured. Like some LG . that's how I found this post.

Lg Stylo 3 got stuck on lg logo then got stuck in qualcom qdloader mode

I have an lg Stylo 3 LG LS777 from boost Mobile and it randomly got stuck on the LG logo when I tried to turn it on recently, then when I realised it got stuck on the LG logo I removed the case and the back cover, then I put it the battery back in and tried to turn it on again, and it wouldn't turn on, and when I plugged it into the computer, it was stuck in hs USB qdloader mode.

I am hoping that I am not ARB1

I may be ARB1 but I do not know although I fear that I am. Here's the background:

I just got an H918 (since I broke my US996's screen after nearly 4 years which I will soon fix). I used lafsploit to root it and all is good with it being rooted and having TWRP (I dont think it ever has seen any version higher than 10P).

I flashed a 20H Oreo rooted stock ZIP and now my ARB is showing the following in red verbatim: APPSBL(LK) : 1, SBL1 : 1, TZ : 1, RPM : 1

Does this mean that I am ARB1? If so, is there any dangers to flashing a custom firmware if I choose to do so?

I still maintain root and TWRP is still intact.

My wife has a Moto Z2 Play and since she got it she has had trouble with recording video. Several times it has worked, but mostly it stops recording after less than a second (sometimes it saves a 0:00 second video, most times it doesn't save anything). I've tried resetting the app, changing video quality, and changing if it saves to phone or SD card.

I just did mine today.

Total refund. Note 8 cost me $70 + the Tax on the Note 8, about $130 out the door.

The ATT folks couldn't figure out how I was still using it! Heh Heh! Good times...

I called the ATT store first yesterday, They tried the $425 trade in deal, I said no, no, no, kinda like I was refusing to go to rehab. I made sure I was talking to the store manager of a real ATT store. He basically stood his ground, I told them they owed me the full refund afforded everybody else.

So I then called 611, and was talking to them when the store manager called me back. He said bring it in and I'd get full refund for it. I guess he checked with someone else.

Make sure you lem know that the phone is on recall by the Consumer Protection Agency, and the public utilities commission, outlawed by the FAA, and disavowed by the KKK...

My sister had the same problem when the Marshmallow update was first released. Others online did too. Try clearing the cache from the recovery menu, if that doesn't work I suggest doing a factory reset. It was the only thing that worked for us.

I dunno about that, I assume these chips at least have the simple means of deactivating parts of the chip that are not used. Simple power management like that aint exactly rocket science. :)

On the other hand, running graphics tasks on the GPU is a lot more efficient (ie uses less battery).

Of course if what you say applies and it already draws power then the boost from enabling acceleration would be even greater.
