[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lil chickenz:
Its a bit of a dirty solution, but rather than using the lineage camera source would it be possible to take the camera source from a working blu r1 hd rom and use that? It obviously wouldn't be the proper fix but would it work until a real one is made?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] firstamendment:
No - it's a problem with the drivers built into the kernel. We don't have the sources, and never will. The only option is to reverse engineer the binaries, but the amount of work required has caused pretty much everyone to abandon this phone.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] David Márquez:
Hello... is there anything possible at this point for this rom?
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Vulnerability:
If anyone is still using this device, here is an updated build with the August 2020 Android Security Bulletin & all merged LineageOS changes since October 2017. MAKE SURE YOU FLASH USING THE TWRP IN THE ORIGINAL POST! You can flash over any builds in this thread, the camera still doesn't work and I have no interest in fixing it.

Same bugs as the builds above.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] KazuDante:
there was only one device i found that was prettymuch a 1-1 clone of the R1 HD , i think all i did was a small change in the defconfig to make ril come up ( i think the other device was not global ) . But they never wanted to release their sources so that was a bummer .
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joedajoester:
EDIT: I got the recovery to flash, but now when the rom flashes, the phone sits there forever saying "patching system image unconditionally..." Its been a long long time and it still is stuck and the phone cant boot, it only can boot recovery or bootloader. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, ive flashed this rom years ago and want to try the updated version so im trying to flash the correct TWRP from the OP. When i send "fastboot flash twrp.img" it returns with "unknown partition twrp.img. cannot determine image filename" and im at a complete loss as to what to do.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Vulnerability:
Flash recovery with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

reboot into twrp, flash zip file in my download.
[BLU R1 HD ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] wildstar87:
I know not much work, if any is being done on this, but hopefully an easy solution. I was successful in getting this on my BLU R1 HD, but the Wifi will not connect to my router, if the SSID is hidden, whereas it did work just fine on the original OS. I know the newer version of android have a Hidden Network option, but I'm not seeing that option here. Is this something that just isn't exposed, or just something that won't work with this build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
So, I have an Exonys Note 8, purchased through Optus in Australia. Never dropped it, kept in a case, etc etc.

Yesterday, I noticed that the black paint is peeling around the bottom left antenna.

Anyone else have this issue, or am I just lucky?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Yep, mines peeling all around the frame area .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
Not impressed with this, or Samsung AU telling me I have to mail my phone in. This is supposed to be a flagship device, and they can't even paint it properly?

Think I might have to get an airbrush kit and fix the problem.

How bad is yours? I only have an area about 3mm in size so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Yeah I agree.. trash low quality paint work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeeXii:
Pic?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BriniaSona:
Someone should peal it all away and have a chrome and black note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GuestK00136:
Yes, on my Fingerprint Reader.

I baby my devices, otterboxes, clips, and screen protectors, and am very disappointed in this.

Waiting to hear back from Samsung but my expectations are low.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
I sent them a very unpleasant email after a horrid experience with their live chat.

In Adelaide, they have a 'service centre' that DOESN'T SERVICE ANYTHING!

So they wanted me to take my phone there and let them send it off, and get a loaner either from my carrier or the service centre, and they will 'try to have my phone back within three days, but it could take up to two weeks for examination'.

I let them have it over that. I am in the process of starting a business. Getting a loaner means HOURS of time to migrate everything to the temp phone, then hours more to get it back on the Note. (Aussie internet sucks)

That's unacceptable for a $1,500 flagship device, especially in less than a month and while they are trying to rebuild their reputation after the Note 7 fiasco.

So now I get to see how they reply as well, which should be fun because I was absolutely vicious in my email.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GuestK00136:
Man, their phone and live chat support is just horrible. HORRIBLE.

Funny, in contrast, how their Sales Support goes the distance when you need something ;)

I wish you the best of luck. Worse case, could always go the Twitter route and see how they respond publicly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Sounds like a nightmare. :(

Never heard of this situation before with the coating coming away from the frame. Sounds very odd and certainly you MUST continue to hold Samsung responsible.

I cannot understand Samsung period. After what we went though last year one would think that if we buy a lemon Samsung would jump through hoops to rectify a customers situation? Nope, not good old Samsung.

It greatly concerns me as should this sort of thing happen to me I cannot afford to just let it go and purchase another mobile. I know from bitter experience with Samsung in this country, Southern Europe, that Samsung after sales doesn't exist. All sales work-distribution is left to a third party and to be blunt they don't give a shoot, literally!

I have, for the first time ever, insured this mobile with the outlet. If mine develop's a similar situation I will place an insurance claim. :rolleyes:

I am informed by my outlet that these problems don't exist with the Chinese brads of mobile as they deal direct with the outlets with zero sub contractors involved. Samsung should take Note from that!

I am getting to the point with Samsung that if I didn't need that S-pen I would not purchase this brand again. I am still waiting for my bloody DEX that was pre-ordered TWO months ago! I hope Microsoft introduce their smartphone ASAP, it comes with a pen.

Back to you. Do you have any sort of consumer agencies in your country? If you do make a formal complaint with them. This country has a government backed consumer association that is as useful as boobs to a nun. Basically you would be stuffed here, hope that's not the case with you. Let us now how things progress. :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
You'd think with the amount of money they generate , they could at least ask you to at min stop by a Samsung center and let a rep look at your phone then if he or she couldn't remedy the issue , then the rep would replace it on the spot!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
We do have an ombudsman's office, but I am giving Samsung the opportunity to fix this before going that route.

If I have to go through the Ombudsman, they can pay my contract out so I can get a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
That would require them actually having one in Adelaide.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Pretty sad state of affairs that you need to make an insurance claim on a potential manufacturers defect .

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Or over the phone. You get my point, stop busting my chops ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KadouKitsune:
Agreed, one hundred percent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
As the mobile will have to be replaced why are Samsung causing a storm in a tea cup? Such a manufacturing problem can't be repaired.

I would initiate the process through your Ombudsman now and save the hassle with Samsung after sales. I do feel for you with this situation. Its not the problem its how Samsung don't rectify it. Lemons are part and parcel of the production process and when one crops up why oh why do Samsung make such a song and dance over it? It appears Samsung world wide have this after sales reputation. Very poor show indeed. :mad:

Ryland :good:

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Thats much to much to expect with this brand. You are talking logic where non exists in practice. Appalling after sales.

How are you doing?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I'm no Apple fan boy, but least their stores provide this type of service.

Makes me wonder about the Note 7 debacle, perhaps it was Buddhist Karma at the time ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
True. It's the only thing that I like about the iPhone. Their post sales service is great. I don't use iPhones, but everything else in my life is Apple. Whenever I have a problem with one of my computers or iPads, I just run down the street to the Apple store and they take care of it. It's the only reason that I've ever considered getting an iPhone over something else. In the end, I just get insurance from my carrier and hope that nothing goes wrong. I am assuming that my carrier would not cover "cosmetic" issues like peeling paint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Yeah , I'm on the same page with you on this one also. My last iPhone was a 4s back in the days. Service was great.

A testament of a good company is their after sales service. With Samsung , it appears to be non existent. It will eventually bite them in the back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] aoaob:
I'm lucky too same area as you got and just happened today. I'm bought it from Optus on pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Probably run by Kiwi's ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] khanboyz007:
I have this problem too near the Bixby button
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
Too bad you couldn't use the Note 8 to take a crisper pic. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] khanboyz007:
update: i visited samsung service centre here they take pictures of my phone and mail it to the company. service centre guys said i have to wait till Tuesday for response.

i also had live chat with samsung they said if you haven't got any response submit your phone at service centre and share the job sheet details with them. hope they will replace my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kbhasi:
Hmm, weird. I never got any paint peels on mine. I wonder if this is some kind of isolated issue limited to certain units sold in some countries. Other than that, it might be the case you use, if you do use one. Had any of you (with ones that have the paint peels) used a case?

I have used mine in the pack-in clear case for a week, until I got a no-brand clear case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Don't hope they replace it insist they do!

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] woeikang:
I have the same issue. The first complaint i make, they replace the LED screen and it resolved. 4 days later... it color peeled off again. Yet, it happen twice same place between bixby button.

2nd time went for service centre, they said not allow to claim or change. Asked me complain to samsung head office or careline.

Samsung totally ignore our issue!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrettJohnPaull:
Paint coming off happened to me as well. 1 month old. The S pen broke in half also can you believe it ! Phone in Samsung case from day one and no force using S pen. Took it to Telstra who told me to go to the Samsung pop up store and sort it out with them. Did that, they were great. Replaced the phone completely ( had to come back the next day to get a new S pen )

That was 3 weeks ago. Just looked and I can see the paint start I g to go again on the opposite side.

WTF!!!

I intend to upgrade every year on my contract so it's important that the phone is in good condition in 10 months time when I go to trade it in on the Note 9 ( or whatever phone )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] khanboyz007:
fixed it myself

Samsung Service Centre Refused to replacement they said its not in the Warranty Policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mshagg:
Just FYI - as Optus is the retailer, you are entitled to demand that they resolve this issue. Under Australian consumer law you are entitled to a repair, refund or replacement depending on the nature of the defect - but the important thing to note is that they can NOT refer you to the manufacturer. Optus MUST resolve this for you, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vansaiyuki1:
Dude I have the same problem ,can you tell me how do you fix it ?paint or sharpie?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
I have US unlocked snapdragon version, no troubles here. I am kinda rough on it, swapping cases often, rinsed and dipped down a few times and then sink test I did on day one. Still looks good. Must be a different batch , maybe a bad paint mix that day. I would do like someone else said and peel it all off for that chrome look. Might do that anyways, sounds kinda cool. Also, if you want to avoid return hassles, possibly use some model paint,or auto touch up paint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] khanboyz007:
i bought midnight black spray paint can from amazon.in and used nail paint brush to apply paint.

i placed spray paint can close on nail paint brush and spray paint on it and fixed defected area .

you can also decant paint from spray can there are many tutorial on YouTube.

Hello.

Gentlemen, date the production of these models in which the paint is peeling. Maybe it is the fault of one party ...

Paint peel off

I recently started noticing paint peeling off near my volume button as well.. just raised a complaint to the Samsung customer care. Please add other pictures who are facing the same issue.

First yoy should learn to handle and use delicate flagship smartphones then make responsible Samsung for their quality issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gee2012:
No issues whatsoever here, have mine for a month now (in a Samsung rugged case with kickstand). Probably a bad batch and should be covered by warranty if it is a production fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me_ashman:
Same here...I keep mine in a soft case and wash it when I get home from work. I work in a dirty/dusty environment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
Sorry about all the hassles. Probably a bad batch of phones in the manufacturing process. Do you have insurance on your phone carrier account? I do. They (Verizon) farm out the insurance to a company named Assurion. I have the snapdragon version and am in the US (East Coast). Never an issue. Any claim I've ever had they send a replacement phone and I have 30 days to return the old one. Maybe go to Samsung directly - as this should be covered by the manufacturers warranty? Or reach out to Assurion directly and see if they would offer insurance to individuals?

What did the costumer rep say?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] invisiblesense:
I've just noticed paint starting to peel off on the left hand side of the phone. I am dreading the thought of contacting Samsung, I had a terrible experience with their customer service over my Note7, which I still have.

I am thinking if I should try to remove rest of the black paint and make the frame crome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:

I had an OtterBox defender back when I owned my last iOS device. It was in the case since new. When I eventually removed it from the case all the areas where the frame of the phone touched the inner hard case of the OtterBox had been scuffed up.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
The amount of people on this thread is concerning to us non chip paint people :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup. Unfortunately dust gets between the case and the phone, and ends up rubbing like sandpaper. That's why I typically cover my ohone with a clear protective skin AND use a case. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Agreed. I put a Skinomi clear film on back of the note a while back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] corwin_amber:
I know exactly, what you mean, as I am doing the same. I think, something like the Alcantara Case would be fine without, anything harder, it makes sense to me to do as you say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Does the clear protective skin cover the bezel/frame of the phone or just the front and back glass?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
If you get Armor Suit or Skinomi full body skin, it comes with the back, frame, and screen protectors.

Pressed thanks by accident. But those swirl marks are nonmal for someone that polishes ( **** ) their phone daily.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeMi-GoD:
They were there before I wiped it down with the microfiber cloth.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Looks swirl marks caused by a hard inner case. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Not possible. Phone doesn't move at all in he hard plastic case. Only movement I when I remove it which I've done probably 10x and haven't seen any actual scratches. These swirl marks are also in places where the case doesn't contact the phone frame. Bottom line is all of the bezels have this. I'll go ahead and order another one just to prove it..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bantzt:
This has been an issue since the S6. This isn't paint. Samsung actually uses a colored film that advertisers to the back of the glass to give the effect of colored yet shiny glass. Colored glass just looks cheap. The disadvantage is that the adhesive holding the film. To the glass tends to wear out faster than the adhesive to the film from the frame.

Only thing to do replace the screen or clear mod it. Either way your device is no longer water resistant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me_ashman:
That's the same as note 5. But this is about the metal frame around and paint coming loose.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ahmedmohsin:
Which spray paint did you use? I used a normal one and its sticky and never dried! The surface seems to be requiring a special treatment or something.

Can you shed some light on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] me_ashman:
What about using nail polish?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ahmedmohsin:
Will that work? :D:D
