My phone is Samsung Galaxy A8 530f when i root my phone i restart my phone This problem occurred to me 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed' how I solve this problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] adenault:
The fix

To fix the Official Binaries issue...flash back to stock. boot up and skip all the setups. Go to options and set your date back 8 days previous. Go to check software updates and run the check. This creates a time stamp 8 days ago. Go back to General settings and change date to current date. Restart phone go options enable developer mode and you should see OEM unlock. I've reset my phone 10 times in the last 3 days using this method trying to get magisk to work. Good luck.

Heres the link...

ODIN MODE

DOWNLOAD SPEED : FAST

NAME: SM-G950F

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

SYSTEM STSTUS : CUSTOM

RMM STATE: PRENORMAL

FAP LOCK: OFF

OEM LOCK : OFF

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED

SW REV. CHECKFAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE :2 BINARY :1

I can ONLY boot into download mode.

When switching on the phone , I get the Galaxy S8 logo by Samsung with the red writing on the top:

"Only officiall released binaries are allowed to be flashed"

Flashing original firmware via ODIN just fails.

"Complete (write) operation failed !!" is the error in Odin.

I tried different versions of Odin , original firmware and boot loaders suggested on XDA. All just fails.

So my phoe is just dead.

I had the lasted firmware on ( OTA update about a week ago)

I installed TWRP now , roooted with Magisk , all was fine untill I rebooted the phone.

Please help. What to do now. I need my phone !!!

PLEASE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xxiForza:
Go to Sammobile or Updato (i use this because you dont have to pay to get full speed download) download the firmware for your device/country (N950F PTC in my case) and flash it through ODIN...you gonna loose root access and will have to wait 7 days to get the OEM Unlock if you dont have the worst luck like mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pjrs2812:
Some how I goofed and forgot to install rmm fix in twrp recovery after decryting data and installing Magisk. So now after booting the system the OEM unlock is available in developer options but can't be turned on. OEM unlock was on before I downgraded the firmware from Oreo to Nougat.

I assume that now I should wait the 7 days/168hrs correct? If the lock returns what's the safest way to check if the rmm state is normal or can I just boot into twrp recovery an install rmm fix zip?

Any suggestions would be appreciated so I won't have to start over. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
I would wait the 7 days before rebooting or else you'll likely end up in 'jail'. After that you should be able to toggle it and reboot (at which point you can flash rmm fix just to be safe).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iuseandroid:
I have the same issue but mine is hopeless case. My phone always display that dreaded error message when I try to open my phone. I tried using Odin to flash the stock versions but when it tries to restart, it shows the message again. Stuck at it. 7days passed still got the same issue. ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Loupps:
I've got this message 3 times and for each I've used Odin3-v3.13.1 started as administrator and I've flashed BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC as CSC and I've recovered using smart switch and helium for some other applications.

About the jail, set the date manualy 8 days ago, unset automatic software update and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] lexjay:
do you successfully flashed FW with Odin? when I encountered this issue. Odin always fail

My solution is

1. Use Odin version v3.12.7

2. Go to download mode

3. As you flash BL (flash BL only), press volume down + bixby + power. Odin will show Failed message (it's OK)

4. you phone will reboot to download mode

5. Close odin and open Odin v.3.13.1

6. Flash FW with no errors :)

When I connect my phone to pc i can't find the phone in device manager all I find out is "QHSUSB_BULK"

What can I do???

Phone is also not turning on and nor booting to bootloader
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
What device and firmware do you have? How did your device get into this state?

When you try to turn on your device, do you get a blinking LED light?

Try holding down the power button for 20-30 seconds or longer until your device goes into hard shutdown. Then attempt to power on your device.

If your device got into this state as a result of an OTA update, you may have hard bricked your device, in which case you'll likely have to consult this thread:https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Ah, was this via OTA? If so, can you recall if your device was fully updated to the June 2017 patch level (including bootloader to version B1:06) before you updated? Sounds like you may have hard bricked :(

Have you tried using the blankflash as I linked in the post above, see if you can get your device booting again? If it boots to the bootloader again, then you may wish to use the September 2017 stock ROM to update:https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

Thanx A Lot Brother

It Work Thanx For Help I Think I Should Make A Video On This And Upload It On YouTube.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
There's already a video tutorial out as described in the hard bricking tutorial.

Anyway, good to hear you got your device working. In future, to reduce the chance of hard bricking:

a) Ensure your device is fully updated to the same patch level before taking OTA updates.

b)This means do not downgrade your device to earlier stock ROMs.

c)If you need to revert back to stock, use the same stock ROM as the firmware you previously flashed on your device.

d)If you can't remember what firmware you had, you can check:

Bootloader version: B1:06 / Baseband ending in .62.01R - either June 2017 or September 2017 patch builds (NPJS25.93-14-8/NPJS25.93-14-10 or NPJ25.93-14.5 for US/Amazon devices).

Bootloader version: B1:05/Baseband ending in .62R - March 2017 build, NPJS25.93-14-4.

Bootloader version: B1:03/Baseband ending in .62R - December 2016 build, NPJ25.93-14.

e)If you did hard brick, flash the latest stock ROM fully, as directed in the guide, to repair your device before you attempt to take OTA updates again.

I was looking for a rugged armour case that prevents the camera bump and found the two common types of cases.

One is with a tire tread-like design and the other one has a bubble-like design. Pictures in attachments.

Which one of these would you prefer and if you have had any experience with them please do tell.
[Moto G5 Plus Accessories] androcraze:
"Bubble" case, with reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Generation-Shockproof-Protective-Kickstand/dp/B06X6GMHJ7

"Tire tread" case, with reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/Moto-Plus-Case-OMOTON-Motorola/dp/B06WP1WB2L

Another "tire tread" design:

https://www.amazon.com/Moto-Plus-Case-OMOTON-Motorola/dp/B06WP1WB2L

I can't tell if the second tire tread design is the same as the first; the back appears flatter, but it just may be lighting. Either model gets higher reviews than the bubble design, and it looks way cooler.

I bought the Moto G4 version of this case, and was pleased:

https://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Shockproof-Absorbing-Protection-Motorola/dp/B01N7MTNDA

I despise the "kick stands" on smart phone cases; the phone doesn't sit level face-up on a table when the stand is retracted, and has a tendency to rock.

My G5+ carries the boring Spigen TPU case:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XD1K5S6/ref=psdc_3081461011_t1_B06WP1WB2L

The Spigen fits VERY snug on the phone, the the TPU material is much firmer than I was expecting (in a good way); the button protectors are partially relieved for smooth button-pressing. I would get the Spigen again without hesitation.
[Moto G5 Plus Accessories] spampa:
Of all the rugged cases you listed, I personally prefer the last two (CIMO and SPIGEN), but I must say that I am quite a fan of SPIGEN rugged cases.

I had SPIGEN on my last three phones, included my current Moto G5 plus :)

FYI, their case also does a very good job of providing a noticeable tactile difference between the power and volume bottons. On this phone, it's really easy to press volume down instead of power on. This is one of the main reasons I like UAG. They do work on the small things.

The built-in screen protector models usually get mediocre reviews; either folks love them or hate them. Some models get refraction, and others have sensitivity issues.

I've always purchased the self-apply screen guards and standard cases; I get more flexibility, and costs are significantly less.

Does anyone know of a battery case that fits this phone? I've been searching and can only find a few for the G5 models, nothing for the G5S+

By what do you mean battery case? I bought a case for this phone, but it hasn't arrived yet. I have already sent my Moto G5 Plus back to the store. So if you need a case I will give it to you if you want when it arrives.
[Moto G5 Plus Accessories] Axecaster:
FWIW, the Spigen-style case turned out much better than the Diztronic, and can be found on eBay for $2-4. Mostly corrects for what I consider to be a recent ergonomic design fad flaw: curved edges.

Hi Guys,

I switched from Sony Xperia Z3 to OnePlus 5 just last week and i have had good experience so far .

But yesterday while testing camera during night , i spotted strange spots/reflections of light in the view finder . initially i thought those were smudges but no they are not . I moved my camera at different angles and i saw them move in the view finder or vanish .

Also if I cover lens with hand from top , they disappeared. I am attaching photos that i took and rounded the spots /reflections in blue . This is not the case in all night time photos but in few where there are light sources directly falling on lens.

Anyone else facing this issue ?? This is definitely not normal . Should i return my device ? This is so annoying :(:(

I need your help guys :)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] enban:
Hi... I'm also undecided between these two phones... I have a moto g first gen. and it worked beautifully for >3 years and Moto phones get normally developer's attention and custom ROMS.

I'd thought to go for a Moto g5s but Xiaomi Mi A1 seems overall better (cheaper (230-260 Vs. 300 euros), more RAM, more storage, compass. On the other hand, it lacks FM radio and NFC, even if the latter is not so important, as I'm not interested in Android Pay at all).

My only concern comes from the strange bugs I'm reading in A1 (hissing sound with headphones and problems with 2G). I have the impression that Xiaomi's phones are less consistent than Moto's with regard to build quality, but of course this can be simply a prejudice on my part.

In short... Do you think that Mi A1 would be a good buy? Also, do you expect it to have a nice community behind after some time (I'm specifically thinking about installing LineageOS, when official updates are over).

Sorry for the long, boring post. I'm just trying to make an educated choice.

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] amrahsll:
As far are as the bugs are concerned, this is an Android One phone so you will get frequent software updates. Minor bugs can get fixed by these updates. Xiaomi Mi A1 has already created a buzz in the Indian market and you don't have to worry about the community support.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] enban:
Thanks for your reply. What about the earphones hiss? I don't think this is a software bug...

And a side question: do unlocking Xiaomi's bootloaders voids the warranty?
