There is no applock option in settings-advanced features. (I have rebooted after enabling applock in tweaks)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ucevik:
My csc is XXV/TUR/CAC. I checked feature.xml in TUR folder in OMC. Saw that tweaks added a statement related to applock. I copied and pasted it in feature.xml in XXV folder. Now the applock option is visible in advanced features.

Just factory restore to restart timer, then use RMM_State_Bypass_Mesa.zip to prevent jail after flashing new rom.

I saw this earlier I should of mentioned and tried it out.

I installed two different IRELAND CSC's. First Vodaphone and it changed it to VD2/VD2/TPA, next I did IRELAND MET and it removed them, there was no codes at all and baseband was unknown and no signal like you mentioned.

I flashed my country OXM an again it went back to XEF/XEF/TPA.

I actually installed L6 that came out yesterday I did a factory restore after just to help get the timer going so I'll see what happens next Sunday. Still XEF/XEF/TPA and from testing, there doesn't seem to be any conventional way of getting it back. I can't get any of the Multi-CSC menus to come up to switch on stock.

Very disappointed. But I will wait the week meanwhile I just list it on eBay and get the N950N.

hi doc :)

The tweak pro app gave me notification this morning that i have update for the rom and for the tweak pro app.

I am downloading and... its same version I already have...

I guess something is wrong...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
May be something went wrong. Let me know if happens again. There is no recent update this week.

You can re-check manually on Tweaks Pro Main Page - Check for Updates - Here it showing up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
OK thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butla:
I'm free, I'm finally free from jail and never going back. Thanks Doc for the excellent Rom. I loaded N6 did the Oem selection. Setup to my usual layout/setup (this takes about 4 hours as l use a lot of customization in the setup) did a TB backup and then flashed the TEL CSC and didn't reboot for 170 hours. Now l can reboot, flash, restore and all the good things you could ever wish to do with a rooted phone and customised Rom. Finally free :good: N950F Telstra CSC with Volte SU rooted, Docs N6 Rom. :highfive:

EDT: Forgot to mention I was in jail and had to wait the 168 hours before the Oem switch showed on Stock Rom before doing the above.

Hi [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]. My device seems to be OEM affected, as you may remember. 8 days ago I've flashed N6 with OEM patch. OEM was in place. Happy. After restart... You know, official binaries only blablabla... No big deal. So reflashed BQKG stock rom. Just 30mins ago my OEM is back (168hrs in jail). Now wanna give second try with N7. I remember we spoke about flashing XID CSC zip after the rom. In the mean time I've read, that Sammy broke something in BQKG base. So my question is : do you recommend to use that XID or not?

I know I can go eventually to jail again... Of course I wish to avoid that. Well, maybe could have any advice for me? Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
If you want to give N7 a try then don't use any patch / flash csc because eventually you are going to jail if you reboot. So you have two options

1.Flash N7 without any patch and don't reboot 7 days till oem re appears

2. N6 With oem patch in aroma, this will keep oem intact

Hi again doctor.

Got again notification to install new rom and app... View attachment 4384282
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Can you check manually and see what it showing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
I did.

First I got message "no license"

Then the notification came back to let me know there is an update ...

I guess it is because internet connection lost for some time and then it cames back and said up to date.

I miss the offline license i had from u on my note 5.

All was faster
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Online/Off line have only difference is only first time you open application after re Installing ROM, after this there is no difference.

False notification is likely because of poor/broken net connection (usually in circumstances where there is data connection there but hardly transferring any data), you can always turn off auto update check by long pressing "Check Update"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
I dunno what is the reason.

Just reporting cause 3 times i got notified that there is an update and it was wrong...

Hi . N7 better or n6 ?

If flash n6 and after n7 without wipe oem unlock is work ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] killer555:
Hi, N7 works good, i have no OEM issue. You have a oem issue, use N6.

The Rom works very well. Thx you Doc.

Only two Things.

1.Tweak pro have a option keymapping, i would like change bixby Button, but after i tap on bixby custom Action, after that, how should I proceed.

2. Auto Gps

How we can tell the GPS is off when screen is off, does it work on always on Display. I assume since the other functions Auto WLAN and Auto Bluetooth are Ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Why not straight clean install N6

1.reboot - Bixby key - you should see options

2.settings - connection - location - you will see high accuracy (provided you have already gps option on)

Straightway press power to screen off

Wait 10 sec and turn on screen

You will see battery saving changing to high accuracy

I am still in OEM jail but just want to know that anyone with Note 8 that born in jail with BQKG bootloader and modem or updated to the latest stock BQKG are able to get the OEM unlock option immediately after flashing the N6 rom with OEM patch?

Btw Dr. Ketan I saw a post from another thread of your S8 CSCs patch for OEM Issue from this post, but when I tried to download I only see XID, and XAC csc files, but I am looking for XAA and XAC cscs even though it is stated as available in the post.

Also can anyone confirm if they have a Note 8 with OEM issue, but flashed N6 rom and OEM patch with a snapdragon US or Canada CSC and confirm it working with OEM unlock option? Thank you :)

two more questions - do you know what the standard DPI is for this rom and is there any way to get the DPI to stick after reboot? i've tried to change it but must be doing something wrong since it changes after reboot. adb command or build prop edit?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
ROM have stock DPI only, May be some custom kernel can cause this if default DPI is removed/Edited in Kernel prop.

I am facing a strange FC when using finder. "Finder has stopped". Anyone else or just me?

Also I would like to use LiveBoot but when I try to run it it says that it requires either SuperSU (I'm using Magisk) or Init.d support. Does this ROM support it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I believe Csc changer shouldn't have any extra benefit.

If you don't have any network issue then I suggest don't do anything and keep using rom.

No idea what you mean by Finder, if it's third party app then better submit your error log to app support thread/mail

Magisk have built in service d same like init d, you may seek help on Magisk thread.

Has anyone got this message

My settings. I first installed twrp and SuperSU. I backed up with twrp.

Then version N7 without OEM patch installed. No problem. Had no problems with OEM from the beginning. I'm in settings just wanted to see if even this OEM switch was turned on. That was luckily.

But then I think I'm going to change the switch and want to go back, requires password. Then one entered then brought the next message. The good thing is I can push it off button. Only have fear that I should not restart the smartphone. Has anyone got similar message.

Btw i use Magisk

No problems with rom, and very luckie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Do you have set Smart Lock? If yes, remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] killer555:
Yes. To make reboot? Bluetooth and body Detektion.

Before i reboot everytime i must disable ? And before every fullbackup disable? I should not use in the future?

OEM can switch back and forth, no problems

I dont understand exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Once you have a rooted device, you shouldn't turn OEM unlock switch off otherwise any accidental reboot will throw custom binary error and you have to flash stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] killer555:
Thank you you're right, sometimes such a smartphone can spin. I still have a question about that later, wants to finish forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Actually I didn't get you first time correctly. I thought you were stuck bcoz of password. So told you to remove password.

So suggest you to keep oem unlock enable always to prevent official binary incase accidental reboot with oem unlock in off position.

There is no issue keeping smart lock on.

In case of not having that option, for what I understood I will not be able to install Dr.ketan rom?

Excuse my bad english, thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ernani:
Hi everyone!

I just received my brand new N950F/DS. Apparently the device is from Portugal (CSC: TPH/TPH/TPH), and right from the beginning I had the dreaded OEM Unlock option available! Not only that, but after multiple reboots, it is still there and activated :D. So, should I expect that I don't have the OEM issue? Please note that after the first boot, when the device saw my sim, prompted me to reboot to apply new operator settings (Vodafone Greece). After that first reboot my CSC changed to TPH/EUR/TPH.

This is where I need your help though... I decided to install Dr. Ketan's ROM N7, but before that, following everybody's suggestion, I'd like to download my original firmware to be on the safe side (N950FXXU1AQI1). My question is the following. Since N7 is based on N950FXXU2BQKG, should I first update my bootloader and modem, i.e. by allowing the OTA update my phone is asking, or if I do that I'm in danger of losing my OEM Unlock Switch. By reading the instructions, since they don't mention a bootloader update, I would expect that the install script will perform it by itself. But can someone please confirm this?

Also, am I correct in guessing that I should avoid applying the OEM patch in Aroma installer, since my device doesn't seem to be affected?

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joshpaynee:
i have the same model and i took the ota and never had any oem issues with any custom roms but even with that being said i still used the patch in the rom installer just on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ernani:
Thanks! That is indeed very reassuring. To be honest I'm kind of stuck on the order of the things I should do. From my understanding, not having installed the ota update, I need to first update my bootloader and modem via Odin, and then install TWRP and eventually N7. But I'd like to backup my EFS partition first to be on the safe side. To do that, you need to be root. So, what would you recommend?

* Flash via Odin TWRP with the old firmware, root, boot into ROM, install Dr. Ketan's EFS Backup and perform a backup, and then flash new bootloader and modem from Odin, boot into recovery and perform ROM installation, or

* Let it perform the ota, then reboot hoping that the OEM unlock survives the process, and then flash via odin TWRP and proceed with the N7 installation?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
My ROM will never have Bootloader and Modem included (reason I have explained earlier) but for safety, usually I provide Bootloader and Modem with MD5 separately Odin flashable if require. So irrespective of your current setup, simply flash N7 (provided you have TWRP installed), that's it. Bootloader and modem is optional and I recommend to flash Only with Odin and Only from original firmware of your device.

Indeed I am on N7 and my bootloader modem are still QI1 which came as default while bought.

This is how I recommend to flash Bootloader and Modem if requires

- Download Original firmware of your device.

- Open it wit zip7 or similar other and extract two files

1. File name thar start with BL_N950****.tar.md5

2. File name start with CP_N950**.tar.md5

File BL_N950** is your bootloader and CP_N950** is your modem, it should be flash with Odin with BL and CP tab of odin respectively.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ernani:
Thanks Doc! Just a final question: Given my situation described a few posts back (CSC from Portugal TPH/EUR/TPH, QI1 based ROM, Vodafone Greece sim card, OEM Unlock intact after multiple restarts on stock and unmodified firmware), should I try to go with N7 (just flash N7 and no OEM patch or CSC flash), or play it safe and go with N6? And if N6 is what you recommend, again flash OEM patch, or could this make things worse on a mobile which *probably* doesn't have OEM issue, and instead flash just N6 and see what happens?

Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
If your device haven't OEM issue then nothing to worry. When you have bought device and OEM was there out of box + when you saw SIM card change option and you select to restart with RESET and still OEM was available, I believe it's out of danger. BUT still any device imported OR using on different country, nothing can be say 100% as we don't know exact policy of samsung (How,Why and where exact this issue)

Straight answer, if you want to play safe N6 + OEM patch best hoice, otherwise once try N7 (NO OEM Patch) and see how it goes, if it works then may be you don't need to worry in future about this mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ernani:
To be honest, I avoided restart with reset when I inserted the sim card, and afterwards every time it was asking me to do that after each successive reboot :angel:. Should I reboot once more and reset the phone so the CSC change completes and see what happens - at least tell with greater probability if my device is affected or not, or don't risk it and proceed with your ROM installation right away?
