To flash then Hard reset then start setting up the ROM, or just flash and start setting up your phone.

What is the point of the hard reset after a flash of ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Guilf:
Clean install. May just be my imagination, but I've had far better luck with ROMs when I hard reset after flashing...both other's cooked and mine - FWIW. Plus all the great chefs here seem to suggest it, which is enough for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
I've taken the liberty of explaining the benefits of a hardreset after a flash.

Check my signature for the link called Things to do before and after a flash.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kamark:
can you tell me how to hard reset kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
One the flash has completed and you get to screen that says “Tap the screen to begin to set up your windows-mobile device” perform a hard reset.

To do this press & hold your left and right soft keys. Those are the key that are just above the Internet and Message button and push you stylus into the reset button. Hold this for about 3-5 seconds. A screen will appear that says “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default or press other keys to cancel” If you want to continue hit the green call button.

Once the restore is complete press the green call button again and this will reboot your phone. If you want to cancel out of this press any other button.

This reason behind doing this is quite significant. If you do this you will have far less problems then if you do not do it. Trust me on this. This is a proven solution to a lot of problems that many users will face.

[size=+2]YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PERFORM A HARD RESET WHEN FLASHING TO ANY NEW ROM![/size]

The script said it validated and patched the system partition but failed on the firmware.

The phone boots okay and About reports 2.41.605.23, but booting to download mode

displays 2.41.605.20. I do have the firmware zip file for .23. My boot partition has a

modified boot (SuperSU & Magisk), recovery has TWRP.

2.41.605.23_NoBoot_NoRecovery_NoWipe_firmware.zip

I figured if I flash this firmware zip I should have a completely

updated system. :confused: Please advise if this is correct?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Anirudh44:
Hi! I have a weird issue. Any new roms like 7.1.2, 8.0etc are just not booting up in my redmi note 3. I always get stuck at the boot logo. The phone vibrates and hints as if it is going to boot up boot its not. The process continues and the phone doesn't boot up. It works all fine with the older roms. But with newer version the roms dont boot up. I tried several roms like Nitrogen,RR,Linege OS etc. But newer versions of both Nougat and Oreo roms don't boot up. I don't have any clue of what to do now. I have zcx twrp installed and have officially unlocked the bootloder. Please if anyone have any insight regarding the issue it will be helpful.

Thank You.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] VaibhavKumarReddy:
Check whether the bootloader is still unlocked by commands. Twrp in this case, is useless so flash MIUI official rom & again unlock officially.

Make sure you wipe everything in Twrp if the command says bootloader is unlocked.

[AT&T LG G4] Mehulno1:
Hi,

I bought this phone Lg G4 h810, it shows AT&T logo whenever i boot it and the problem is despite of network mode on lte/wcdma/gsm/auto it always runs on2G internet speed and shows E sign.

I am from india and many service providers are still not offering4G internet service. But this phone doesn't even runs on wcdma. My previous phone lenovo was nicely running on wcdma and always showed the sign H.

My cellular operator is idea cellular and i had a word with them, they sent me settings and all and help me input the settings manually too, but nothing worked.

I checked even the frequencies, idea cellular is offering UMTS B1(2100) and UMTS B8(900 gsm). I checked this on LG website and these bands are compatible with the phone i bought, but still i can't get anything more than2G. Why so?

Plus there is one more problem, when i switched it on for the first time it showed update available And when i tried to update, it showed error and now always there's an icon on top left corner of phone saying couldn't install system update. I tried restarting and updating the device many times, but it's still the same.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, i need a help with something that happened in my Z1 after i unlocked the bootloader.

Well, i did the unlock to install some ROMs, i installed all pretty good withouth any problems but something was wrong...

I installed whatsapp, and trying to access the whatsapp web i saw that my phone won't read the qrcode, the camera keeps focusing in a loop and the code changes...

I tried in another computer and the same thing happened, i tried also another phone in my PC and worked, well...

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proveisso:
I've searched, I've googled, I've tried every and anything I could find.

Everything was running fine, I had Carbon ROM installed, weeks running with no problem. Then suddenly, the phone reboots (it was working fine, I was driving with Waze and Spotify) and goes on boot loop.

Flashtool identifies when the phone connects either on flashmode and fastboot, but doesn't seem to recognize the device, since the "Device" menu is always greyed out. Flashed quite a few different FTFs but none of them seem to work - bootloop keeps happening. Tried even fastboot erase and then flashing, but nothing.

I've tried flashing D6643_Claro BR_1289-1603_23.5.A.1.291_R6D, D6643_Commercial and Journalists_1288-6341_23.0.A.2.93_R4B and D6653_Service Exchange Unit_1288-3458_23.0.A.2.93_R4B but none of them seem to work, the phone continues on bootloop.

Sometimes it'll even reboot while flashtool is doing it's thing.

I've been at this for 2 days and yet can't seem to figure out how to make the damn piece of crap work again. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj27_6:
Good night. I do not know if you have tried this.

In flashtool pick wipe everything because in Nougat the partitions are different to Marshmallow and if you flash without wipe everything the installation of the rom will not be correct.

Try this and I will wait you have luck and you phone works again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] delugeofspam:
I live in the US and the phone works - but it's a Snapdragon, not an Exynos ( so ... better?) and I'm not really sure what to think now that I see the hardware model of it.

The only noticeable differences I could find are that handwriting defaulted to Chinese and the Chinese calendar seems burned into the Samsung Calendar app.

Anything I should look out for? Should I pursue a return through Amazon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Samsung pay?

Try hard reset then immediately sideloading Samsung Pay 2.7.03 (apk from apkmirror) and Framework 2.7.51 see if spay will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] younoob:
If you have problems with language options in general, you can factory reset and set up your languages defaults from the very beginning (on the very first page, you will have a language selector, possibly showing Korean as a default choice, type the Korean writing and choose your favorite localization; this happens on any model by Samsung). This is highly recommended if you do not trust the vendor.

As far as I can tell, the main limitation of N9500 is localization of hardware-secured features: if you plan to use the (awesome) Samsung Pay, apparently you can do so only in Hong Kong so far (with N9500). As I understand, Samsung uses/experiments a more advanced system in Hong Kong, which you will not be able to use elsewhere. I have a N9500 and I want to try to spoof the model number in build.prop to see if one can cheat the phone to have Samsung Pay work everywhere.

Snapdragon vs Exynos is a mixed bag, depending on your workload. Exynos performs slightly better, Snapdragon will offer a faster web experience. In my opinion, no noticeable difference at all. However if you:

-Have a 64GB model

-Have a write heavy workload (quite rare, for instance you do some video-editing on phone or backup GB of data TO the phone every day)

exynos will perform noticeably better in these tasks since Samsung uses different NAND on the two models. For reading workload, again the difference is not noticeable.

Also, my guess is that you got N9500 for a better price: these are usually imported models from Hong Kong or UAE, with no official support. Importers likely got a much better price than the local Samsung offer, or maybe they avoided some import taxes via shady practices. If you paid the same as the official listing in your country, you may want to ask for a replacement regardless of the hardware.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

Just to clear out, in the message before I meant that both the conditions (64GB AND write heavy) need to be satisfied to have an Exynos preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] delugeofspam:
I haven't run into any actual problems yet (4 hours of use?) and I'm trying to avoid any modifications while I decide how to handle this... The whole thing seems shady, there's a promotional coupon stuck over the model number on the box. I feel like it was done intentionally for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Well if you were sold a model different than the listing description and you are worried/not happy about it, get your money back and make sure you don't lose even a penny (teaching seller a lesson in the process since a lot of this purposeful shadiness seems to be happening even when seller knows).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Paradoxumical:
Don't be upset. You might have gotten the only Snapdragon variant with an unlockable bootloader out the box. If you don't mind double checking this, go to developer options and see if there's an OEM unlocking toggle. Then download Crom and run it, it should unlock your bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] delugeofspam:
Unfortunately, no such luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Paradoxumical:
Really? Damn, Samsung is seriously tightening things up, the HK and CN variants used to the only Snadragon models that came with an official bootloader unlock tool/method.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Didn't people have to wait exactly a week after activation for that option to show up or something like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Paradoxumical:
I don’t recall anything of the sort, but don’t hold that against me. My last Samsung device prior to the Note 8 was the S6 (which I despised). The S5 was Samsung’s last great and true user/developer/mod friendly device. Even though the design got a lot of hate, I quite liked it. It went to eight different countries with me, and never gave me grief even though I used it as an underwater camera countless times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Yep double checked and there is a 1 week wait post activation for OEM UNLOCK option to appear.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/info-note-8-exynos-n950f-fd-oem-unlock-t3673140/page64

Not sure if applies to qualcomm variants too. Doesnt HK/CN by law require OEM UNLOCK? Read something along this line somewhere here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Paradoxumical:
Hey! That’s amazing news for OP. I believe HK/CN does require that by law. I remember when the S7 was released there, it looked so sleek without the Samsung logos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evangelionpunk:
Yep it would be if it applies to Qualcomm variants and if it does it may only apply to HK/CN variants.

Maybe someone that has already had this model for 7+ days can confirm it for him.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] delugeofspam:
The company I purchased it from refuses to advance-replace this with the phone I ordered and seems to expect me to pay to ship it back to them. This is probably going to turn into a dispute with Amazon, so I'm out another $900+ as I have to get into a new phone ASAP, and leave this one with zero wear.

I'm pretty convinced that I want the N950FD/S Aus, Europe & Lat edition of this phone despite living in the U.S. I don't want to suffer heavily locked bootloaders even for a Snapdragon and it seems there is more development for Exynos.

Please, though, tell me I'm wrong and that I should keep this phone that I dumped hours into configuring before catching on to the damn Chinese calendar embedded in the Samsung Calendar app :|

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Paradoxumical:
If I were you, I would keep it. I’m 92% sure TWRP will pop-up for your device in the upcoming weeks. I don’t know if Samsung has released the kernel source yet, but once they do, I’ll be more than happy to compile it for you. I remember the same thing happened with the HK/CN variant of the S7. Holding out a week to see if OEM Unlocking shows up will be worth if it does.
