Of course it's more secure unrooted. Any app you give root rights can do anything it wants. Doesn't matter if the app is wallpaper changer with root access there is almost no guarantees to security unless you can look at how the app is coded and trust it 100%.

You are also fully trusting the root provider like SuperSu or Kingroot which both are developed by Chinese. Not saying that I don't trust them though.

Also with Android Pay now working in Canada and my whole family using it for example root is the last thing I'd do to my phone now.

Just my opinion...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Fair enough but unlike Samsung pay, it's quite easy to get android pay on rooted devices. Had it on both my HTC U11 and my Oneplus5 with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Yes just need to pass Safetynet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitr0burn:
Just because you didn't purposely root your phone, doesn't mean one of the apps you download hasn't been doing something shady in the background, leaking your info not even needing root. How hard would it be to utilize a vulnerability in part of the OS without the user knowing. Just remember the days you could root iOS by visiting a webpage. Just imagine if something like that was found for Android and the url spread across the site by bots. 1 a rooted 2 a rooted 3 a rooted 4, guess what guy you just got backdoored.?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
While that's possible it's a 100 times more likely when you have root. Many people that root their devices do stupid crap on the side too.

Securty has gotten much better then it was 5 years ago. An app can't really leak your info unless you give it permission to do so in general, unless of course it's an exploit and and a shady app that hasn't been detected (unlikely from PlayStore these days). When you give root it can do whatever the heck it wants.

I know all about root. My Pixel is rooted with a custom ROM/kernel and everything. Use it to play right now. I wouldn't personally put my banking info on that device right now.

There are almost ways to do everything without root these days (just ADB commands). Yeah TB is awesome but GP cloud or Samsung cloud or backup restore can pretty much do the same thing.

Everything is going rootless these days that matters, or almost everything.

One example is Substratum. So many apps that I used to have to root for now can work with one or two ADB commands.

Most custom ROMs don't even come prerooted anymore. It's a losing battle unfortunately.

Any Android developer will tell you to pretty much forget about Securty if you are rooted. I've read a lot on topic and made my decision.

You want to root that's your freedom to do so of course and this my opinion.

Oreo for note 8 950w

Hi guys i m new in here and would like to know if its possible to flash the oreo 950u version into the 950w (canadian version),since the ota oreo update is taking forever....thanks four valuable help..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gaganmohal:
Someone posted here on Xda that we will be getting official Oreo update on this Monday. Build number CRC2.

But Rogers OS update schedule says April 5th. Lets see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaelstromXC:
Bell and Freedom Mobile have the Oreo updates now.

Nothing on Telus yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
Got update on bell around 5 am. BTW i bought phone from telus and using it on bell, but i changed my CSC to bell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ravenspawn:
Does it have any Bell bloatware? I bought mine unlocked from Best Buy and using it on Telus, thinking of flashing the Bell rom but not sure if all Canadian ROM are the same or if they have some carrier bloatware. Telus only installed their My Account app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
How can I load Bell's version if I am on Rogers. I tried with HOME_CSC on Odin but it fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
Bell My account app and fibe tv app. That's all. You can disable both apps if you want.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

You have to change CSC on phone itself. But it will wipe your phone after changing.

Just go to phone dialer and enter this

*#272*[IMEI]#

BMC code is for bell

XAC is for unlocked.

AFIK you will lose rogers specific features like VOLTE / WiFi Calling. I am in Saskatchewan and bell don't have any of these features, but rogers have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
My phone was XAC but changed to RWC when I put Rogers SIM.

Just tried loading with Odin it won't take it even if I use CSC and not HOME_CSC. Prince Comsey Odin crashes if I try to load....

Weird since I've used Odin many times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
Try using in the phone dialer with code. Its easy and quick but you will loose your data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaelstromXC:
So, if you switch, it will do factory reset (like how you initially insert the sim)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
Yes !! Exactly same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
That worked, I changed back to RWC after update.

Just weird that Odin would not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgerryts:
So.. I'm assuming we've gone back to CSC specific ROMS again? For a while the stock ROMS contained all the CSC codes so it didn't matter which carrier version you grabbed. The Bell ROM is up on Sammobile... 4 GB!!!!!

By the time it's finished downloading from Sammobile's free portal, Telus will likely have released their version.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
ROMS are the same, I updated to the latest and changed my CSC to Rogers who has not released the update yet. See above.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
Rogers update is coming on 5th April. I don't understand why can't all carrier's release the update same time as every CSC is already baked into the Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgerryts:
Exactly!

Anyone else having trouble reflashing from 950U back to 950W?

b

I've been at it for about an hour with a fresh copy downloaded from samfirm desktop, and it just keeps failing. Using comsy, and not my first rodeo with samsung but this is just bizarre behavior.

Have tried various combinations of the firmware files and BL and CSC seemed to work on its own and is now showing XAC, which SHOULD fix itself on first boot, but AP and CP are giving issues.

[Edit] Non Comsy Odin appears to be working. Frigging ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgerryts:
And Telus update has dropped overnight. 1.2 GB OTA. Runs pretty smooth...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
Try using SamFirm to download instead... Much faster!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgerryts:
Yea, I keep forgetting about that. Anyways, my prediction came true anyways, the Telus firmware arrived before the download finished of the Bell version... All good now...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TRoN_1:
I used Odin 3.13.1 to flash Oreo. Was trying with 3.12.3 and kept failing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffrohurt:
Hey. Went from N950U to N950W with no issues. Only thing I'm annoyed with is that Canadian firmware still leaves out the data toggle. Is there any firmware that has it stock or do I do the temporary fix that resets everyone there's an update? Any advice would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgerryts:
I'm experiencing significant loss of battery after the last security update (Last week) (June update) on Telus here in Canada .

Before this, at this time of day, with "normal use" (for me) I would still be at 80%. I am now at 47%.

Anyone else having issues? I really don't want to factory reset....

Hopefully fixed soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
I'm probably sticking with the Note 8 until the Note 10. It's still working great, and while a Note 9 would be nice it is not worth the price for me to jump. Just my preference of course.

I bought an app that got taken off the app store so I decided to download it off a random site because I'm not going to pay again and it had license verification so I installed it on my rooted tablet and modified it with lucky patcher and it worked.

Only problem is that while you can obviously send an apk to one device from another you can't place the special folder from data/user/0 in to that same directory on a non-rooted device.

Is there any solution to this?

Edit: I tried Helium and tried every solution but when I connect it to my device and allow USB debugging it just says it is waiting permission from desktop app but the desktop app says it allowed it ...

Thanks in advance for all those who tried to help me more

my device does not start in recovery mode, only in fastboot.

I have already performed all the procedures I knew and it was indicated here, only the logo of the leeco appears and restarts.

attempts:

1 - Here we go:

1. Download .zip containing files from Mega: https://mega.nz/#!5boxDYrL!_O-oD05yh...hV5LKwyHa39bWM

2. Extract files to path where you are able to flash them using fastboot (ie. Same folder with fastboot)

3. Boot your phone to bootloader (Vol- & Power)

4. Flash everything:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot format data <- THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE

fastboot flash cmnlib64 cmnlib64.mbn

fastboot flash ddr ddr.mbn

fastboot flash cmnlib cmnlib.mbn

fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn

fastboot flash pmic pmic.elf

fastboot flash tz tz.mbn

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn

fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.mbn

fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf

fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.mbn

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

fastboot flash devinfo devinfo.bin

it was no use.

2 - official recovery flash

3 - FlashOne2.0, qfil Flash. https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-unbrick-le-pro3-tested-t3622340.

4 - FlashOne2.0 fastboot.

for my little knowledge some of these procedures should work.

Is there a solution? Can someone help me where I could get help?

Do you have any solution? I had the same problem last night
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
So there is no recovery on the phone and you can't load a recovery on it either? Don't tell me... the bootloader locked itself? Which stock ROM version were you on? Which model---x722, x720, x727? Apparently eUI 5.9 forcibly locks the bootloader and prevents all bootloader unlocks. So if this is the case, then there's no way to unlock the bootloader, unfortunately.

Otherwise it's an internal partition issue. The internal partition is messed up and you have to rebuild it manually which is close to impossible unless you're a coder used to Linux filesystems with access to your phone's exact model's partition setup. I doubt this is the case though.

Keep trying OP. Don't give up. You might as well try everything--heck, go and post on those Chinese forums using Google Translate and you will likely get a response.

Buenass amigo. Tengo un x727 y me ha sucedido algo similar, de la nada se me puso unos segundos la pantalla azul y comenzó a reiniciarse infinitamente, sin dejarme acceder ni al boot normal ni al recovery, solo al modo flashboot. Cuando queria encenderlo, aparecia el logo de LeEco (en caso de boot normal), o el logo de LeEco Recovery (en caso de boot recovery) y a los segundos aparece la pantalla toda rayada (simil lluvia de tv) y se reinicia hasta volver a pasar lo mismo. Quiero agregar que después de un año de uso he tenido problemas con la carga rápida, el celular me quemaba todos los pines de carga tipo c cuando se conectaba en quickcharge (lo cual tuve que empezar a usar carga normal/lenta)

Probé descargar completamente el móvil, dejando que ese "bootloop" lo descargue por completo, tambien entrando al modo flashboot para que el consumo de la pantalla ayude a descargarlo, y luego de dos semanas de dejarlo sin batería (probando si ya directamente no prendía en ningun modo) conectarlo a una pc (usb2.0) y dejarlo cargando hasta el 80% minimo, ya que la pc lo carga "lentamente". Luego de ello me permitió acceder al celular o recovery, fue solo el hecho de activar la depuracion usb o adb, e instalarle con adb una ROM (en mi caso LineageOS 17.1).

El secreto es NO usar carga rapida, e inclusive lo mas lento posible, yo cargo en mi PC o con un cargador no mayor a 5v->1.55A ya que en mi caso pude detectar que es un problema de sobreamperaje que causa un corto en la memoria.

Espero que te sirva. Saludos
