I am on At&t. I flashed the unlocked firmware 950U1QH9 to get rid of the At&t bloat. It doesnt carrier unlock device just gives you the unlocked firmware. When I root it is QI5. I have went back to QH9 several times. Thats why I mentioned if you are planning to root Snapdragon Note8 it was said that Sammy was pushing update that patches device and you can no longer root.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
WARNING FOR N950U OWERS:

DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE!!!

It is quite likely that this patches the SamFail root method, however we have no conclusive proof of this

The good news is we are capable of finding out, as there is a combo AQK2 combo boot which shouldn't be a downgrade as it's rev2 also. All we need is someone who has installed it already and would be willing to try it.

Would anyone who has already installed it be willing to attempt a samfail install? I can put together the files for you. If you don't want to be rooted that's fine, the method will not trip Knox and should be no more a risk than any other flashing attempt is. One of two things will happen:

1) Something new will happen in a way such that the device will not boot after flashing the SamFail image. In this case you just flash stock again and go on with life like nothing happened (because nothing did)

2) Nothing at all will be different, root will work as before indicating that either Samsung failed at patching samfail (lol) or this update is about krack/blueborne/other stuff. The entire n950u root community heralds you as a hero. Women (or men) throw themselves at you day and night. You spend the rest of your days living like a king.

If you have this update installed and would be willing to take an hour or two out of your time to try this for us, pm me and I will get everything ready ahead of time, and provide you with instructions and links to stock ROMs you can flash back on no matter what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gil81:

Got T-Mobile Unlocked Edition last week. Came with QH7 and been avoiding the QI5 update since. Been reading up on the roots avail. Not sure how or why you have not seen any updates. Did you already take one?

Still debating returning my unlocked version (not really unlocked).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
What do you mean it's not really unlocked?

Also updates never push at once. They go out in phases, so some users gotta wait

Long Story short Bought From Samsung Unlocked & chose unlocked. They sent a T-Mobile & swear thats what I ordered & Cannot Under any circumstance Exchange a phone (Only Refund & ReOrder). Regardless this will be the last Samsung anything I ever buy or own! It was not as support said unlocked. Had T-Mobile do this via Twitter for network part. The same still applies on the update. Within an hour of turning on device it has nagged the hell out of me to update to QI5...

Here's something new that's in the new update:

Go to the quick settings menu and change button order. You get a few more buttons:

1. Nearby - enables the nearby feature that detects nearby websites etc.

2. Bixby voice wakeup enable/disable

3. AppFill - seems to start my LastPass app for filling forms and stuff.

October security update. :( I'd rather have November! Now we'll have to wait another 3 months for December's patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Circlel05:
On AT&T after installing the update when using substratum themes it caused system UI FC. Would suggest installing themes first before completely setting up your phone in case you have to reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Compusmurf:
Of course, Substratum tells you to uninstall everything before taking any system updates. You did do that first, right? :)

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

AppFill from Lastpass was always there. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] houboy:
Lets say theoretically for some reason someone didn't uninstall everything. Without a factory reset, is it possible to remove the system ui crashing prompt to get into the phone? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Compusmurf:
In theory, you could force reboot into safe mode and uninstall. I can't say if this will work or not because I uninstalled all the overlays, did the system update, then reinstalled the overlays. The key ones are the systemUI and System. I don't apply overlays for either of those 2 because I realize you're playing with core OS stuff there and not just apps.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Turn on and use safe mode

Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily uninstall apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.

Turn the device off.

Press and hold the Power key past the model name screen.

When "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen, release the Power key.

Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.

Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.

Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.

Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.

Turn off safe mode

Press and hold the Power key.

Tap Restart.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

and if you can't power off.....

Press and hold the Power key and the Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] houboy:
Tried all of those previously but I keep getting the system ui has stopped prompt. Also tried removing my sim card and booting up but nothing changed. Thank you for the help though! I will try this when I get a chance (pulled it from another thread), please let me know if this works for anyone else...

Prerequisites: adb enabled - and prior USB connection to the computer + always allow checked off. (not 100% sure if the security prompt will appear if you've never connected through ADB - since my workstation here whitelisted for ADB connection)

adb shell pm list packages | grep substratum >> substratum.txt

look through the substratum.txt file - find the name of your theme

adb shell pm list packages | grep [your theme name]

adb uninstall com.android.systemui.[your theme name] >> themename.txt in my case it was Swift for Samsung S8

Check and verify your phone is now accessible - if so, you can either uninstall the rest using the App Manager on the phone itself

Or dump the themename.txt into excel, then create a list of adb uninstall commands to remove them in one go.

Not really. Samsung often incorporates later security fixes without updating the security patch date, because they have a different approach. See how BlueBorne was patched while still remaining on the August security patch level.

So I made a big mistake and set my device back to the stock Verizon image last night and re-locked the bootloader (phone was to be sent back for warranty). I forgot to opt out of the Android Beta program and ended up letting it update and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I'm assuming I'm SOL?

Edit: Everything is okay now I believe, rebooted to recovery and did a factory reset.

[Remix OS for PC] JebDslayer:
I would love some help with this one. I'm want to make a flashdrive that I can plug into any computer and then boot my own system from theirs. But, not all systems support Remix OS, which is what I currently have installed to the flashdrive. So what I want to do is install Phoenix OS on the same drive to boot when I'm using a computer that doesn't have the right processor family for Remix OS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[Remix OS for PC] 9hax:
If you are on Windows:

Install RemixOS on your drive, make a copy of it using WIN32DiskImager or similar, Then Install Phoenix OS and lower its Partition size, then readd your RemixOS

Linux Mint: Same as Windows, but I recommend "gnome-disks" for the partitioning stuff

I have a problem with changing bootloader and modem in my s5.

I have Rom ViperOS N 7.1.2, BOD3 modem and BOE3 bootloader.

I want to change the rom to Nolimits 6.1 but this one needs a new modem and bootloader.

Odin shows that everything is ok, the precedent of uploading is successful, zero errors, but after restarting the phone the modem and bootloader is the same old.

It tries to upload the latest bootloader and CPJ6 and CPJ1 modems. I've tried it a few times and nothing else.

Sometimes turning phone off and pulling battery out before and after flashing may help. Flash only bootloader and modems which are dedicated to your phone model.

I guess so as i did tried to reflash stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.0 a few days ago, but it didn´t work. Then i used Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8 but it displayed that i had the latest software so no reflashing at all, i was incapable of reflashing and clearing the \system partition, for me it is a real problem as i was expecting to delete all the traces of SuperSU root, Xposed, etc; with the aim of moving to Magisk and keep passing safetynet.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ciclolars:
I was also considering downgrade to LP by performing a restore from my TWRP backup. May be easier and safer, as ELUGA modifies certain branded partitions, I guess... Any inconvenience related to that?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] bowtie81:
I have never got the mobile upgrade to work, not even this version, and that is a shame because here in Finland we have no OTA since lollipop, and I can not understand how the official MM-rom is nowhere to be found, even if the phone have the option of update from storage. If only I could find the update file, I presumably could update without any rooting or twrp or anything, and keep it factory fresh and under warranty?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ciclolars:
I agree with you, that is a bad movement from Alcatel not to give access to ROM zip. It would be so easy to flash it via settings _ apply update from zip, as many devices do. Weeks ago I was desperate to find a stock zip for my 6045Y but no luck. It's a shame to let dye this music lover smartphone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bogdan28:
I have the stock MM rom if anybody wants it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ciclolars:
I'm very interested, did you get it from a TWRP backup or which method did you used?

Could you upload it?

Thanks in advance
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bogdan28:
The roms are from murigny64, he made them. He has a thread here which I checked earlier. If you want the version without root the link is still good, only the rooted version was removed.

I'm not sure what to do and even can´t update from the latest MM from a couple of days ago, https://xdaforums.com/idol-3/help/ota-android-update-malware-t3736229 As Mobile Upgrade Q says that my 6045Y has the latest software, may be an update to only 6045I model?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bogdan28:
I don't know about the record call thing, I don't use it.

As for the second part I'm not sure I understand. You want the latest OTA update or you already have it
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ciclolars:
Sorry, i didn't explain myself properly. I mean, I have already the latest MM stock ROM dated from january of 2017, my device is a 6045Y. However, a few days ago there has been released an update, but my guess is that only for 6045I devices, so i don't have it and can´t reflash my Idol 3 with the same ROM i currently have.

PS:

I tried to flash via TWRP this zip https://xdaforums.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 and then use the Mobile Upgrade Q to get the latest MM stock, but Mobile Upgrade Q keeps saying "you have already the latest update" which this statement is not true after flashing this zip. Finally, I restored my TWRP backup so i'm in the same state as i began this morning, i'm tired of this policy of Alcatel that there is no official zip from stock firmwares, the only way is using an online tool thar refuses to reflash the same firmware.
