[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Themistoklis44:
Still not

J5 2015 6.0.1 android
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Taivotat2:
Before flashing you also need to enable oem unlock from developer settings, and untick autoreboot option from Odin. And start your phone manually.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Themistoklis44:
Yeah the first one is already done but if I untick the autoreboot how am I gonna get off from the download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Taivotat2:
After doing the process you simply press during 10 seconds vol down+power button to restart your phone, or push battery out ,put in again and start your phone manually.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] loki993:
Is there any Exynos note 8 that will work on Verizon? I really like the unlocked dual sim one but it doesn't have an CDMA support, but would it run LTE only on Verizon? Will it do VoLTE on Verizon?

Are there any Exynos Note 8 that have the CDMA bands to be able to run on Verizon?

Also the reason I want the Exynos is so I can run ASOP on it or as close as I can anyway. Are there ASOP ROMs that maintain the unique features of the Note 8, IE all the S pen stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Note 8 really isn't the phone for you if you're looking for an AOSP ROM that retains all the S-Pen features.

Firstly, AOSP is far from d aily driver material on the S8/S8+, so I wouldn't expect a decent Note 8 build in the near future. It'll take a while.

Secondly, Verizon will work as LTE only on the Exynos Note 8 since it doesn't support any of the CDMA bands, VoLTE probably won't work due to the lack of a Verizon flashable CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] loki993:
Kinda what I've gathered, flashing ASOP, even if it were stable, would cost me the main reason I would want the phone for.

So let's throw rooting out the window. Is there a dual SIM Snapdragon version that will work on Verizon? I have a work phone that runs on ATT and it would be nice to only have one phone to carry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
There is a Dual SIM version with the SD835 chip, but it's the Chinese variant.

Won't work with Verizon and probably won't work with AT&T either.

Sent from my SM-N950F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] loki993:
Well ****....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] loki993:
Same with the Hong Kong version? Why wont they the should have the required bands, Im more curious at this point
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Well, technically they shouldn't have the required bands for th US, only for HK/China.

AT&T may work, with some tinkering, although I can't guarantee anything and Verizon is probably hopeless, the HK variant does support CDMA for China, not sure if it does for VZW.

Sent from my SM-N950F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] loki993:
If the specs are to be believed they should have one CDMA band that verizon uses, whether or not it's the one they use for calls I don't know. Yeah sounds like a big risk on a thousand dollar phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ohohpatrick:
This issue is my dilemma. I actually got a Hong Kong Note 8 primarily because for the same price of the item in US without taxes, I get Deep Sea Blue, 128gb and Dual Sim

On to the technical part - Verizon uses bands 2/4/13 for LTE. If you would look at Samsung Hong Kong Note 8 technical spec page, it lists

4G FDD LTE

B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B13(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B20(800), B25(1900), B26(850), B28(700)

This is quite conflicting with a website's information (techwalls[dot]com/ samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences ) on Hong Kong/China units which states -

4G FDD LTE: LTE Cat16 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 28, 29, 30)

4G TDD LTE: B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)

At any rate, I can always shift to T-Mobile if ever my phone won't work on Verizon. '^-^
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Essentially, if it indeed supports the required bands of your desired provider, it should work fine. If you end up deciding to root it I'm sure you can flash a Verizon CSC as well which may give you any missing features such as VoLTE, though I have absolutely no knowledge or experience with Verizon.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] asgerbb:
Hey guys

So I read around a bit before deciding to pick this thing up. I live in Denmark, and was due to this a bit curious if the device would work with my network or not. All the bands were as they should be for use in Europe, only thing that scared me was reading about one guy from India who had trouble (think it was in one of the Reddit AMAs).

However, I just got it today and it works perfectly here. I'm on 3's network. In case anyone else were wondering the same as me. It's the unlocked version picked up from bestbuy.

So for the sake of other potentially interested international users, maybe the ones of us who got one could share their experience, since it seems it can go both ways?

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
I bought a new Lenovo Z2 plus (4GB 64 GB) version. It is running on build 2.0.093 Android 6.0.1 Aug 2016 Security patch out of box and I know there are two major updates after this but my device is not detecting any OTA updates. System updater software shows - "No Updates available. Refresh" (Tried many times since yesterday). And on that screen itself on clicking "Release Details", the following error is shown: "Failed to access release information server, please refresh again"

My friend also bought the same phone and immediately got the updates.

Is this an issue with my handset or do I need to wait further to get the updates?

Are the Lenovo servers for OTA updates down?

Why are release details not accessible?

Trying for 3rd day today. No updates. Bit concerned.

I will eventually install custom rom and do some experiments but want to use with stock rom for some days to check if any hardware issues are there or not.

Shall I return the phone or keep?

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
How does not getting OTA updates makes the device defective?

I got it in a special deal and not willing to return. Already replaced once as the previous one was reboxed unit and without proper bill. This one seems new. What defect did your friend's phone had?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] root.xperial:
Let me answer this question... This device is a new purchase. It has got Android 6 out of box and has volte issues with JIO sim...and the update which is failing to install contains a fix for that (here we are still not talking about android 7 upgrade).

Another Major issue is when we check warranty status, it says warranty expired.

So let us say if u have a software issue on your phone that is irritating and you take it to a service center, the first thing they do is ask you to update (if not done already) to latest version...thats what we are asking. Today just got an email from Amazon since the inspection guy didn't turn up , they are replacing my phone now.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
None of these show device is defective. For warranty how will lenovo know when you bought the device. Send a mail to sppop@lenovo.com with invoice and back side image of box and they will update warranty details in 3 days.

Getting the update immediately means most likely this device is not new and you got a reboxed unit. Check on Lenovo forums, many have confirmed that it takes a few days to get the updates after booting the device for first time

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] PrashantBK:
Okay, I forgot to tell you this part. I went along with him to the service store and people there wanted to heat up the battery and sh*t. I don't know how that could've helped but we agreed to let them do so, but the updates still failed. Later they checked the warranty and it wasn't updated on the official Lenovo site. So yeah, the technician turned up after we called Amazon and he specifically said "The device is defective". We didn't bother asking because we were getting a replacement.

Good that you're getting a replacement. Enjoy. And do check the warranty of the replacement. Cheers!

Well, he wasn't able to update his phone. Updates were available but after the download it said something like "Package installation failure".

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
I tried it yesterday but there are no Shanghai or China server in flyvpn now. Tried with Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc but same result - no update detected

Also, when you say "if your IP is India registered" what do you mean? Registered where? Using Shanghai server with VPN will use China ip only right?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] BrokenOyster:
Try a more reliable VPN like TouchVPN or you might Google some names.

And Even if it does not work then I would Suggest you to get some help with Lenovo Service (Centers).

And the VPN tunnels your Data packets through a different location so that you can access the services available there.The VPN hides your IP address from other sources but You get the response on your INDIAN REGISTERED IP ,You have to use another third party App for masking your IP.

And one more wise suggestion would be that You better stick with the current ROM you are using because that one is wayyyyy more stable than the updates you are tryna opt for. And if you are fed up with it at some point , you better unlock your developer instinct and start flashing ROMs.Trust me it's the best phone out there for flashing ROMs (Considering the Stock ZUI ROM is pure s#!t.) Best of Luck.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Yes. That's the basic idea behind buying this phone. Will unlock bootloader and flash custom ROM but after sometime. Want to test it for sometime before doing the experiments.

And that of the Bootloader status...

It's really simple observation. Just reboot your device and observe the if Boot menu recovery is there on the start screen or not . If it appears then it is unlocked and if it's not appearing then it's locked. By default Lenovo Phones come with the Bootloader locked (also on Z2 plus).

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Chances are it's locked. Cause it's new and outta the box and by default it's locked.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] saurav_k:
Yes. I checked that in a different way yesterday. It is locked.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] BrokenOyster:
