[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Skamath:
So yesterday when I was charging the phone from about the 35% mark the phone was super warm to touch and when it got to about 70% it was cool and also when I noticed that the lock screen showed 1 hour left until full.

30% charge requires 1 hour? called quick charge. It was using the accessories that came with the phone.

In the mean time the Redmi 3s that I have charges quicker with a 2.1A charger with a older Lumia 1020 cable.

What gives?

Cheers

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Yes it will lock bootloader only if you have verizon or AT&T N910V/N910A.

On Other models the bootloader will lock just to downgrade to 5.0/4.4.4 if you flash 6.0.1 bootloader.

You won't be able to downgrade.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
I'm sorry but you contradicted yourself (makes no sense).

On other models bootloader will lock "just to downgrade to 5?" if you flash 6 bootloader? I don't understand.....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
I mean once you upgrade to mashamallow bootloader you cannot downgrade to 5.0 or 4.4.4 because bootloader will lock just to prevent downgrading otherwise no issues with root/roms/recovery.

You can still downgrade to 5.1.1 though.

On at&t and verizon bootloaders are locked for downgrading and flashing recovery/rooting etc.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
You could always flash a 5.0 bootloader though, no?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
No only 5.1.1

If you try to flash 5.0/4.4.4 it will fail in odin
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Damn.....why is that? Lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
You've been great help regardless, no problem! It's not that bad :)

Also - I have a Note 4 from Verizon - is that bootloader unlockable now? I do however have that on 6.0.1 already I think so no?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
You can downgrade to 5.1.1 by odin then you can unlock bootloader .

on marshmallow is not possible so far.

You can watch video in link below step by step tutorial by zedomax

It's still pain in the butt though to unlock but if you got patiance then you can do it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtJackHarkness:
Oh so no way to have like those ROMs based off of 6.0.1 then? Like Note 7 ports, etc?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Link below there is a guide first you have do downgrade to 5.1.1 then upgrade to marshmallow without relock the bootloader.

Once you do that then you can flash any marshmallow rom.

I'd like to know whether this phone would be worth it for 290 euros, along with some more details.

1. Does the charger come with the phone include Quick Charge (2.0 or 3.0)?

2. What are its worst problems? Eg. battery life, software...?

3. Would it be any notorious improvement over my G4? I still love my G4 but not its battery...

Thanks.

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] SonofdAr:
Hello,

I am new to rooting. Several months back I rooted my yoga book using magisk. Root was great except that I couldn't install the Nougat update. And because I didn't think I needed it, I did not make a backup of the stock ROM.

I have tried to unroot the device using the magisk uninstaller. The OTA update still failed to install.

What path should I take to unroot my tablet so it can accept updates?

Thank you very much for any help.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Flippy498:
I can confirm that re-flashing an older stock version is possible and restores the ability to install OTAs if you don't have a backup at hand.

OT: was root worth the trip? What special things did you do with root?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] SonofdAr:
Great! I had looked at that post but was unsure what action to take. I downloaded the YB1-X90F_USR_S000196_1611040312_WW06_BP_ROW-flashfiles.zip from the link you posted. Should I follow MarkAllen's instructions in the previous reply to unzip the folder and used fastboot commands to flash the ROM?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] SonofdAr:
For me it was not worth the trip.

I rooted to be able to uninstall NoteSaver because it had an incredibly frustrating glitch when switching to handwriting mode. Several OTA updates did not fix the issue, so I felt great fixing it myself. I didn't use root for anything else. Overall, the time spent troubleshooting and researching was too much. I use the Yoga Book at university to take notes and it was very hard to find time to try to unroot the tablet and get Nougat. I never bricked the device but I spend many hours resetting it.

If I used root to do something more interesting and had more time to play around, sure it might be worth it.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Flippy498:
You probably might want to lock the bootloader at the end before you execute the continue command.

fastboot flashing lock

And it might happen that you face an error while flashing that oemvars bootloader_policy-oemvars.txt. I couldn't find out why that happened and ignoring it seems to be harmless.

As soon as the system started you need to skip the whole first setup and to restore the country code as explained by MarkAllen. Otherwise you might need to re-start from the beginning after installing an OTA.

General info for people that didn't root their yoga book and just want to re-flash the stock system: You'll need the info from this thread since chances are high that you face problems with the usb drivers.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] s01q:
for getting rid of that window adb could have done the trick.

since there is no better rom around, I guess rooting is waste of time - for this device
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] SonofdAr:
Thank you very much! Could you just give me better instructions on how to restore the country code? These are the instructions MarkAllen linked to:

you need to input country code to enable keyboard. There are several steps as below :

a)	Open ‘’contacts’’ app, create a new local contact ” test”

b)	Click search button at contact

c)	Input ####6020# code into search bar

d)	Browser the country code list, then chose country code you want to use, such as US

e)	Then DUT will reboot

How to I skip the whole first setup to get to the contacts app?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Flippy498:
Those are exactly the steps you need to follow. It might take some seconds till the new window with the list of all available country codes shows up.

Just use the skip button on the bottom-right of the screen during the setup.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] SonofdAr:
Thank you! The first OTA update installed without a hitch and hopefully it's smooth sailing from here.

Hello:

First of all, excuse me, I'm using a translator because my English is not very good. I was using a custom rom and wanted to back to stock so I flashed the correct firmware for my model (A-510M ARO NOUGAT) via ODIN. The process ended and had no errors. When I turned on the phone and connected it to my pc and it does not recognize it, it only charges the battery. I tried to format from the recovery and it shows the message "failed to find / misc partition"

- I tried with other USB cables.

- I tested it with other USB ports.

- I've updated Samsung drivers.

- I tried the secret menu and it does not work.

- does not recognize the download mode either

- I can not use ODIN to reinstall the firmware.

- Samsung Kies does not recognize the phone.

- Does not recognize ADB mode

The truth is that I am desperate and I do not know what to do. I can not reinstall the firmware if the PC does not recognize it. If anyone knows a possible solution I am very grateful.

Does the US, UK or Australia Samsung Pay work on Note 8 SM-N9500 or SM-N950FD models?

Anyone tested or confirmed this? With the S8's seems like it will work if you have the UAE model of the phone and you sideload the samsung pay app (not sure about the HK version). The note 8 UAE model is SM-N950FD which is also a global model so it might work on this if similarly one has the UAE firmware on it + sideloads Samsung Pay? SM-N9500 even work at all?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] younoob:
I have a SM-N9500, and Google Play claims Samsung Pay is not supported in my 'device country'. But indeed it is supported in the country where I leave and where my Google account is based (and by my bank). As I understand, SM-N9500 is a Chinese version (not my country), and yet Samsung Pay is well supported in China as well.

In any case, it looks like Samsung Pay will not work on this phone.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

On a second thought, did you try to edit build.prop to spoof your device number? The hardware platform of those models is the same as any phone supporting Samsung Pay. So I cannot think for any reason it would not work other than country support.

[MENTION=5407170]younoob[/MENTION]

did you try it? did you try different sim card and reset? did you try sideloading Samsung Pay 2.7.03 (apk from apkmirror) and Framework 2.7.51 immediately after reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] younoob:
I tried resetting my google play localization, but it did not work. So I failed to install Samsung Pay at all. My problem is, if there is ever an apk that I do not want to install from an unofficial source, that's Samsung Pay. It has direct access to credit cards...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Resetting localization will not work. Sideloading SPay is not an issue now really is it if all you want to do is confirm whether it works to start with or not. And there is nothing wrong with sideloading in general so long as you are careful with your choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] younoob:
Resetting localization indeed did not work. N9500 is a Hong Kong and China version. Any exported phone should come from Hong Kong -at least mine is. I am sure that Samsung Pay works abroad as well, no matter the country. So my guess is that if one installs and runs it in Hong Kong, then it should work in other supported countries as well. Isn't it? Maybe one can spoof the location somehow, not sure how to do that without root. Any idea?

As for sideloading, of course there is nothing wrong with it. Just, for something like Samsung Pay, you really really need to trust your apk source. A malicious person may get the original apk and somehow engineer a modification (basically send all the data to a server), and your bank cards AND identity would be totally compromised. At the best of my understanding, this can be done without any need to crack the Samsung Pay security features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Well according to what I read and some I asked, no. Samsung Pay may be localised via the model number and active sim card on first boot. You managed to spoof the model number?

You will see in above thread that the exynos model with XSG firmware is able to have the framework and samsung pay sideloaded and it works with US cards. On the Note 8's this likely means we can buy any SM-N950F/DS and do the same whereas the SM-N9500 SPay would work in HK and apparently if I read correctly HK has some more advanced SPay features... Now if only Samsung would release a 128 or 256gb mode of SM-N950F/DS already!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] younoob:
Actually changing the location in payments.google.com partly worked. I located myself in Hong Kong, then cleared Google Play data and rebooted the app. It took more than one day for Google to update the status, but now Samsung pay just appeared as one of my (preloaded) apps. Yet, basically only American Express will work worlwide (and Hong Kong cards). On the good side, you can successfully upload all the fidelity cards and other magnetic cards that are not related to your banks.

I did not spoof the model since the last time I checked taking root on Qualcomm note 8 looked risky and N9500 is not even mentioned in the thread. Did you get root?

I am sorry I thought you were looking for answer for either model so I posted regarding my experiences with the F model.

Samsung Pay features work off of your devices CSC. When I first set up my Samsung Pay account it was on a S6 Active obviously a US Model. With that said my F model devices have Samsung Pay with MST support, Membership Cards and that is it for options that I can us in the US. So I get Australian promotions not US promotions on and no rewards or gift cards. I still get rewards points when I use my F models but I have to access them through my ATT Note 5 or see the points through my Gear App for my Gear S3. Basically a huge cluster f#ck and hopefully they will make Samsung Pay dependent on your SIM not your CSC I highly doubt it though.

I have a Citi Visa and Citi MC on my phone and Gear S3. Samsung did change things around so you can import cards which worked on my Note 8. When I moved from my S6 Active to S7 Edge F model I had to setup all the cards and they worked. So the guess off the top my head would be any card that currently supports Samsung Pay should work but it is Samsung Pay so it is a guess.
