either wipe the apps cache and data and re-test. or wipe and do a clean install.. it works fine for everyone else on V2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
still unable to grab the incrimental DEC BQL9 security update for a full rom, so i went ahead and based a version of BQLA (TMOB) identifier. This is essentially the same as ours and is a DEC sec update. This is nothing dif from the QK3 in terms of mods, features, bugs etc, but is latest sec fixes for those concerned with sec threats and or need the latest to run some sort of security based apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] sparky2029:
Can I dirty flash over the previous version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
yeah it should be fine as long as you are on a U2 based firmware thats deodexed its ok.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] sparky2029:
Okay cool, thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] sparky2029:
One more question, will I lose my data if I dirty flash it?

Edit: found the answer, sorry

I can't download U2_Devdigitel_QLA_V1.zip, I keep getting "no mirrors found" error. The other links work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I placed a mirror. Afh has been screwing up these last few weeks. Utilize the mirror link 2 for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] joelstitch:
Do I have to return to stock and update to QLA from QK3 or can I dirty flash your new QLA update? Also, Do I have to flash the new SamFail 2.5 firmware and system files or does your new update includes that? Im kinda confused about updating the bootloader. I spent 2 days fixing my phone after trying to update to SamFail 2.5 and ended up going back to stock QK3, rooting with SamFail Revision 1(u1) and flashing your QK3 Rom but want to move to QLA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Terarod28:
Same question here! Thanx for asking!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Ok heres the details.

If you are already on one of my deodexed builds then you can just flash the latest rom without issues. You should NOT have to wipe unless you are on samfail still or you experience bugs after flashing a rom update.

Even if you are on Bootloader Version 1 you SHOULD be able to flash the latest rom and not have to take the latest bootloader. Knowing that the latest bootloader to date is only revision 2 and it has been rooted its kinda a mute point and dosnt matter if you go from 1 to 2. Now WHEN 8.0 android comes out, if you update to stock 8.0 you will NEVER be able to run 7.1 roms again and potentially never have root again as security on android 8 has become a nightmare to beat especially selinux.

So in a nutshell, download the latest rom and flash with flashfire dirty, and see how it runs, if you get fc apps, things not working, then you need to go ahead a do a clean install ( or atleast wipe cache/dalvik cache with falshfire and see if it fixes the errors before going full clean install)

Otherwise once you are on my rom(s) you technically can flash anything you want and be good to go back and forth ( you would have to delete the boot.img from the rom if you wanted to flash a u1 rom and are currently on the u2 bootloader ( or vise versa ) This is the only exception)

wiping or not is up to the end user, the rom will wipe /system regardless if you ask it to, the rom is setup to clear all system files every time you flash, so be aware if you have modified the system it WILL be erased. ( again if you didn't want this to happen its not hard to stop, a little google search and some effort and you could pull the updater script and remove the line that is labeled format system and have it install over top your current builds, but this is a really dumb idea lol)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] pbedard:
So if I'm on u1 I'm ok to flash any build??..and what happens if were rooted can u still flash an 8.0 build of your roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] joelstitch:
I flashed your QLA but on the settings it still says QK3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dinaps86:
Has anybody flashed AinurAudio with this rom? Kudos to the dev the rom is smooth and stable...Just a few questions...for some odd reason I can't copy and paste to my sdcard from my extsdcard I tried foldermount but that hasn't worked any other way 5o get r/w access on the sdcard? And I am used to using TWRP...I like to experiment (I am usually confident enough to fix any problems that I may do) but being we don't have twrp if I was to say get stuck in a bootloop at work I'm basically stuck until I can get to a pc with ODIN correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
This sounds like you have a bug. There shouldnt be any issues. Have you tried a clean install of the rom to see if its fixed?

Es file explorer has a option to mount partitions /rw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dinaps86:
I got it to allow me to move files from my internal to my external but every time I try to copy from my external to my sdcard it says permission denied es asked me to grant access I allowed it but still nothing

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fiver5:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Eddieray313:
I didn't work for me and I forgot about the post I made. Everything else worked great but I decided to unroot afterwards since I didn't want to ruin my battery if the 80% part would mess it up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
umm no xposed works on none of the snapdragon note 8 devices, and the developer has stopped working to include our variant due to issues .

FYI, do not odin to the U3BRA6 firmware. Ill share more later but this update is a direct attack at samfail and root, and the new bootloader has been updated to block all of our current methods and then some, sadly this may be it here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fiver5:
I've never ran a phone without recovery. What's anyone doing for nandroid style "full" backups. Partition dumps using DD from a shell? A third party app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
The app used to flash this rom without recovery also handles backups. FlashFire (Root)

Or you could just backup apps etc using the smart-switch APP to ur sd card and restore it after. The desktop version is broken once rooted fyi.

I would not recommend DD of entire system etc for use of a backup as its not in a position to be restored easily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] treoarx:
True. Flashfire is the way to go. Titanium backup too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fiver5:
OK. Flashfire worked just dandy. I suppose I should have looked more into what it can do instead of just using it for the 30 seconds I spent in it when I first flashed TDDs rom lol

I thought Online Nandroid backup development was stalled. I've seen no updates since 2014, heard it was broken on Marshmallow+ and doesn't it require a recovery to be installed? Or am I looking for the wrong Online Nandroid.

TB I've been using for ever, great for application level backups but nice to have partition level in case I cowboy something in and soft brick or do some horrible experiment and can't figure out a rollback strategy.

Your using a add blocker hu? If you are disable it and re-try/ or use a app like titanium backup/rom toolbox and clear the host files and disable add block.. This resolved the issue for me. The server must be treated as if it were a ad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] sparky2029:
I currently don't have an ad blocker right now, I don't even have one installed at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:

After a few weeks of hard use, rom has been stable as **** and quite nice. Dumped TouchWiz for Evie + Everywhere launcher. With the Samsung keyboard cover, it's pretty much the phone I've been waiting for my whole life. Glad I followed TDD over from the V20 :) Will be interesting to see how things shake out with Oreo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Thanks Bro its really appreciated to hear everything is going well. Quite a few of the v20 peeps came to the note8 once me2151 and I shifted to sammy.

Its been a great device to own so far, few little issues here and there but ey it beats the LG 10x over!

U3 System Firmware is up. You CAN flash this without updating your bootloader. This is nothing needed to run this, but i would suggest updating everything once samfail v3 goes live.

Otherwise this runs fine with the older bootloader, so your choice here, the v3 bootloader is equivilant to the 8.0 beta stuff youve been looking into , so in theory this will make the move to 8.0 avalible. but dont ask for etas, etc as this is not something I am working on yet, or have a timeframe or expectations. As i assist in getting some stuff for other devs this week and next and working on some port material for us it will be a little while, and i dont see a need to make a beta 8.0 rom unless its rooted etc!

Hello note lovers

Still on my note 4 but just got my first mmc read failure and phone is lagging now. Debating getting a used 4 for 100 bucks or grabbing the 8

Does hotspot work on this? It's my only wifi at home so a must have for me.

Just to be clear looking for working hotspot without paying sprints hotspot charges. Grandfatherd unlimited

Brand new Note 8 owner, coming from note 4, with Dtux.

Wanting to give this a go, mainly need unlimited hotspot without sprints charges for going over 15gb.

Really dislike the 80% battery issue, biggest reason for hesitation.

Any known downside or bugs with current version?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mediocrates:
Not having any bugs. Yes, the 80% battery is annoying, but I can get through a day of moderate use without worrying about charging. On the plus side, the battery will have much better overall life, since keeping your battery between 20-80% between charges is recommended for optimal life.

The 80% battery thing is really pretty much a non-issue with this phone unless you are going HARD on it for extended periods of time with zero access to any charging options.

I don't even think about the battery on this phone. This is literally the first Android phone I've ran in several years that I didn't have to plan my day around when the damn battery was going to die and be stressed out on some street corner hoping I don't get stranded by Uber because my battery couldn't hang tough in the city.

Total non-problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] LOWCOUNTRYDAVE:
Man, tempting me to join the dark side lol.

Coming from Note 4, and Carlos's Dtux Rom. Kind of miss it honestly, the locked bootloader and lack of custom roms really blows. This device could be so amazing otherwise.

So, other than the battery and Samsung pay, any other bugs in doing this? Can I root with the latest update installed? Thanks in advance.

Read OP bugs section for viper fix...that may be your issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Welcome to the N8 Forums.

Yes, as of 2/22/18 U3BRA6 firmware's and below each have a targeted method to root the device and not trip knox ( 0x0 )

The method for each version is listed under SAMFAIL post in main Samsung Note 8 Development Section.

This is a super easy root method and can be reverted 100% back to stock if you choose rooted firmware isn't your cup of tea.

Pretty much basic root bugs - Some apps may restrict your usage due to root.

Screen will revert to very low frame rate sometimes during a wake-up and youll notice the screen is flickering, just lock and unlock screen again to resolve. (this is due to using a developmental bootloader and cant be fixed)

Battery stops charging at 80% ( again due to boot files )

But thats about it.

So far so good. The firmware runs smoothly but doing a dirty flash didn't work for me most of my apps didn't work and kept crashing. So it's best to do it the clean way if anyone was wondering. But I can't wait for the next update and the 80% battery is not fixed for the people who will ask again. But someone is working on an Oreo root and possibly fixing the issue if they can. So just keep on waiting and hoping.

No, I dont have a full comprehensive list of removals.

The Pre-loads removed : Facebook, instagram, twitter, sprint id, lookout, all the preloaded edge pannel apps like yahoo, cnn, etc.

All carrier settings csc files etc but sprint are removed, so anything TMO, VZW, USC, BST, VMU etc was all removed.

All Knox elements are removed, container agent and secure folder, anything broken with root was removed.

Anything that was loaded that cant be added back was not removed. So like Spen etc is still working and unchanged.

Anything that can be re-downloaded from galaxy store or playstore was removed for the most part.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
awesome, glad to hear.

You can just unpack the .tar files for csc and get the /omc folder out of it and add it back to the rom for your own personal copy, this way if you flash it wont break your activation and require a odin fix.

Litterally just drag and drop into the zip and it will be okay. Dont try to unzip the rom and add it and re-zip it. This will break features due to symbolic links. Dont ever unpack the rom on windows lol

Good news is I do have the latest update for our handsets the #ARB4 files and im porting all the mods over to the latest security update..

I have had some issues with dual speaker mod and some apps only putting sound into the ear piece. Im going to revert the mod to the OFF position indefinately in the next release and leave it up to the end user to change it on/off so you can understand how it works and turn it off if it has issues.

BRB4 7.1.1 update is now in the op, in the changelog is the link modem for brb4

im currently setting up to stage a 8.0 update, but this is only if the combo files and such will support root, as of now, providing a update would mean no root, and you would need to odin the 8.0 CRC2 bootloader to run it. To come back to my rom you'll need to re-samfail with the U3 samfail method and then flash the rom..

Some may have noticed, some may not, but we do have a SAFESTRAP recovery for our device, i have linked it to the top of the op under flashfire. It works great and i flashed BRB4 with it, No issues occurred and works awesome.

FWIW just upgraded from bootloade 2 to 3 and dirty flashed BRB4 ROM with no issues. However comsey odin wouldn't flash the modem with model mismatch errors. Regular odin just hung on initilization.

I tried flashfire to flash the modem and it worked fine.

Rolling along good here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I would suggest using the wipe function in either twrp safe-strap or flashfire. Either way you Can dirty flash but in my experience most of the user data apps start to FC and need to be wiped to get it straight. Id recommend the wipe and clear of all stuff before flashing latest just to avoid bugs that can come from a dirty flash.
