[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] anameeeen:
Hello,

I have paid nearly a thousand dollars for the note 8. I have also bought 4 cases with two screen protectors. The total reaches up to 1100$. Despite paying all this money for a phone, I cant do whatever I want to with it because I don’t have the OEM unlock option. I have nearly read all of the 225 page about OEM unlock for Exynos through this month. I have already signed with google, Samsung. I already waited more than 9 days with no boots but with no luck.

My suggestion to solve the OEM unlock option :

Donating money for any developer who is willing to try solving this mystery. I already paid about 1100$ for this phone and I am willing to pay a little extra to root it and to install custom roms whenever I want.

I am starting with myself. I am donating a 25$ as a start for anyone who is willing to take the challenge. What do you guys think? Are you willing to donate for anyone who are willing to try to solve the issue?

To keep things clear, I suggest that a moderator to open a thread for this subject where anyone willing to donate sees his name and the amount of his donation, so that we can know the approximate amount of donation money or a moderator can do whatever he wants as long as everything clear to us.

This thread is intended to check if people may want to donate money for anyone who may want to solve the issue of OEM, so If you got lucky with the OEM unlock option, please do NOT post your experience here, post it in this thread:

This is a good idea, i'm willing to donate 30 EURO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] douger1957:
I don't know what to say. I paid just as much for this phone knowing full well that root or an unlocked bootloader might not ever happen. I made that choice knowing that there are or would be phones nearly as capable as the Note 8 that would have root or an unlocked bootloader.

I'm in. Too bad chainfire retired, maybe this bounty will entice him. If it's possible to get SU first then disable knox. Then get to system and find what's causing this ghost toggle by expert means. Unlock it and then Odin twrp . But this is just my novice idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] anameeeen:
me too, but I want the note 8.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I don't know how the developers will do that. As long as they can do it whether with your way or their way, that would be great. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Sultan1234:
I am willing to pay up to $50 or even more if that would solve our issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wase4711:
solve what issue?

OEM unlock wont give you root or anything else..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xDreDz:
Can you complete it? Is it Exynos or Snapdragon? Imo all Exynos chips have OEM unlock but we have the " 7 days " jail time. And we also have those impatient fooks who keeps on flashing sht on their phones then complain " Its been 500 years, I still dont the have OEM toggle "

I myself waited for 7 full days. 1st flash of TWRP was unsuccessful because of the " only official binaries are allowed " thing. So I went back to sleep and updated my phone ( samsung released a security update ). Woke up and decided to try it again ( The FRP and OEM were off even tho the OEM toggle in dev option is gone ) then BOOM!! I didnt expect it to succeed, my phone restarted and Odin indicated that the flash was successful so I immediately pressed buttons for TWRP and everything went good after that. Now I have TWRP+Renovate Ice+Magisk+Xposed.

I think the update from sasmung fixed the " Official binaries " thing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Solve the issue of it not appearing (or dissappearing). It's needed to install a rom, etc. (At least on Exynos...Snapdragon has that locked bootloader of course)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] anameeeen:
that is good. Thanks for passing by.

We are not sure if that would solve the issue, but at least let us try. If everybody contributes a little for a developer, that developer may have the time to solve the issue for us.

The issue that there is a topic now with more than 230 pages of members' observations about OEM unlock, and still we don't have an answer. if you have OEM unlock option appearing for you, that is good for you. here is the topic we are talking about :

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

I am talking about Exynos. Members have different experiences here. No one have the absolute answer for this mystery, otherwise ; that topic won't reach 230 pages if replies, and I wouldn't open this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
This is just me but if my OEM unlock was refusing to show up after one week I would get a thread going and compare notes with affected devices alone There are one or more things you are all doing, software you are running, somthing, which is affecting your ability to get OEM unlock. Figure that out and you're home free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xDreDz:
Imho it got to 230 pages because most people complain first before they read and or have flashed something before even waiting for 7 full days. And mostly of the first pages is the discovery of the 7 days jail time. It would have been lesser that 230 if they have read first and have been patient

Have you fully updated your phone btw?

Use only 1 sim?

Got the phone from another country?

Never flashed anything on it?

Im currently using SM-N950F/DS btw
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] anameeeen:
- The phone was fully updated.

- I used two sims the first 10 days, then when OEM didn't appear, I removed one.

- I got it from the same country.

- During the first 10 days, I did nothing except for showing developers option. I waited 10 days but OEM didn't appear. After this, I flashed different stock rom, and now I am waiting. My up time is 66 hours now and I am using one sim. If no solution was descoverd, I can report at 168 hours (7 days).

By the way, I nearly read all the 235 pages. I have a friend who has his OEM appeared out of the box, he bought his phone from another country.

how is the petition going? Can we nudge chainfire for this bounty? I bet he can crack it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] anameeeen:
it seems that people don't want to spend money for it. we have 15 voters : 8 with paying money, and 7 with not paying money. if there are more people, we can try to nudge him to take a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] radi8:
I´ll pay US$50, for an OEM unlock option to be avaiable upon flashing any ROM so that we don´t have to wait for the 7 day period to everytime we want to root or wipe or flash CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kilayo:
Yes US $50 is about right to avoid this oem switch. The fact that we our boot loader is not completely locked..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mailistman:
i am willing to add $50 to get out this NO-OEM jail on N950FD.... i can't believe i got tricked into this samcircus .... i am debating myself if i have to sell this device & get s8 duos instead..

Awesome. I waited the 7 days for the OEM unlock option, flashed Magisk, and now I am stuck in "Only official binaries are allowed to be flashed" bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Homefix:
I still have mine in the box, because its worthless to me only because I have the note 5 with Ubuntu running qemu- running windows-xp ( along side android) its almost usable with the extra speed of the Note-8 should be muck faster

I bought the 8 mostly for running my Virtual Machines quicker ,(and maybe more virtualization options and drivers in kernel configurations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AngeryAussie:
Update: Flashed stock firmware, fixed the problem but I am now back to square one. Time to wait another 7 days. Great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
you paid for the wrong phone. i returned my F to get an N.

problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
People seriously didn't research before buying? Then get mad lmao. I mean I knew before even buying snapdragon was getting screwed over. Samsung offered financing yes. They wanted $40 a month. My carrier wanted $20 a month with a decent amount down. That 2nd option hurt less.

One Plus next phone comes with top features as Note. Will instantly buy that and laugh at note. LG has best sound. Pixel best Cam. Samsung best features. One plus best root/roms. It's saying something when apple jocks off samsung features.

I would know why does the Pixi 3 boot faster than the Xperia Z5 Premium despite the Pixi having a worse performance than the Xperia?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jedbot5000:
Can someone explain why opera works perfectly but IE won't connect to ANYTHING...always says page not found??? Also...streaming video will ONLY work through TCPMP...HTC Streaming video won't work and Window's Media Player won't stream ANYTHING but TCPMP can work for certain file types fine. Also...even though I associate some filetypes with TCPMP they still try to open in WMP and then fail. How can you disassociate a file type from WMP or streaming media???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
You can disassociate file types in the registry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] higherbeing:
I've had similar issues before as well... but just for short periods of time and it would work again...

but after i flashed a new rom i noticed that my exchange could connect to the net, so could IE, but OctroTalk would create errors... I went into my connection settings and change my access point name from isp.cingular to wap.cingular and my username from ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM to WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM and everything works fine...

dont know if that helps, thought I'd share tho

What do you think of this game? :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] EternalGameStudio:
Hey, I'd like to give you some honest feedback because I know that's what fellow developers need!

First impressions: The icon and the screenshots are bad. I would not of have downloaded the game based on the screenshots and icon.

After downloading: During the tutorial, the "screenshot" where it shows me what is going on, could be significantly bigger. A lot of information was given to me quickly, in my past experiences people do not read as much as you would like them to, myself included.

After playing: Why do you even have to use just the green button to jump? If you could just click anywhere on screen it would be a lot easier, I found that my finger did not want to stay on that small button. It's not obvious when you lose lives, it should be a bigger deal. The bar at the top seems to be far too small, that bar is the focus of the game, seems like it should be bigger and clearer to the user.

Other notes: That's cool that you allow the user to pick male or female for free. I like the second themed background and platforms. I like that you can go back to the tutorial if you wanted. My highscore is 14, there should be a share button at the end of a successful run, this is one way your game can grow.
[Android Apps and Games] marcioafoliveira:
Thank you for your feedback.

About the button, I had that but many people said that couldn't understand where to touch to jump :)

If you want to try any ROM, which port for Korean and International users, to your N920T, remember that: you need flash the kernel and fix audio call

You can find the kernel here https://samsungvn.com/threads/cac-cong-cu-va-mod-duoc-chia-se-tu-cac-anh-em.33854/

With this way, you can try most of ROM now.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] BlueJeans:
You can try Sennheiser CX 275s, you won't be disappointed. I'm using it. It comes with 2 years of warranty. Before this I had a JBL T200a. It was a bit bass driven but was on par with my current headphones.

Which model to be exact
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] Somesh Singh:
Hey bruh I use sennheiser hd 202 pro. Other than that mi capsule and viperfx.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] IchRocke:
You should try the KZ ZS2 (or others from KZ) they are often on sale on Gearbest or so ... I bought my ZS2 for 6€ (~8$) shipping included, and they are way better than the Sennheiser CX 275 for the price (The CX are good but once you try the ZS at this price you can't go back :p)

The only drawback is the fit around the ear that you might not like, but if that's ok for you they are definitely worth a try !

I have a lot of earphones/headphones (Bose supra, Sennheiser HD25, Logitech g430 for work, some sony and JVC lying around when I just want to nap) and to be honest I mostly use the KZ ZS2, they just sound that good and I'm not afraid of breaking or loosing them at that price.

bro get kz ed09 from aliexpress or gearbest the best earphone

best bang for buck

i have used sennheiser cx200 street II and cx3.00 also have used a sonys and phillipbut believe me these earphones much cheaper than those and sound quality is on par or better in my opinion and if you get viper4android with those they can beat any of those earphones in a heartbeat

at the time of my purchase they were available for around 600 something

and ofcourse much better than those boat basshead my friend had these and i tried them once and to be true i thought they just didnt had any bass in them when compared to kz ed09

also kz ed09 is the only earphone from KZ that i liked rest are just disappointing
