hi

i can boot into the stock system phone after i reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Fen-X:
V

So ...i think you have to wait 7 days or 8 days to be sure. On the oem issue thread it is sais when you flash a rom after first reboot if the oem option is missing, don t reboot your phone. Otherwise, you will be in bootloop or the binary message will be shown. Tonight i will go on the oem thread to find the exact explaination for you. By waiting, you can go on the thread by yourself and make a search. Don t ask on the oem issue thread what does this mean because it was already discussed. Post if you can t find your answer only over the search button...otherwise the lightning will fall on you lol. But you can be confident in Dr.Ketan if you need some help ( he is very nice person and dev).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Fen-X:
The last post speaks about the binary message...i think you are forced to restore with stock firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AssAssiN FtC:
Quick question just making sure i have this right. I flashed this Rom was messing with the settings trying to get my hd calling to work and get better data reception and started having problems so had to boot into recovery and wipe dalvic and cache. Then i realized that my oem unlock toggle was missing. Since i rebooted the only way to get it back is to odin a stock rom and start over? Is it really going to affect me that much or am i ok as long as i have everything working and am able to still go to recovery mode and flash stuff? Just wondering be cause dont want to start over if i don't have to. Love the rom and got it working perfect. I'm good as long as i know i always have the option to odin a stock rom and start over whenever i feel like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DeejayTelis:
Hello there.

First, in order to get the wifi calling and voLTE working, you have to flash the correct csc for your carrier (if you already don't have it). You can easily find tkkg's csc utility here .

And second, as long as you can boot your phone and everything works, then you're fine. Even if you don't see the OEM switch (probably because you selected modded settings in aroma), you are ok. If you couldn't boot and got an error while trying to, then all you had to do is flash stock from via Odin. But if i understand correctly, everything works but you can't see the switch? If that's the case, you're fine.

Also, I just noticed that the January update is starting to roll out!!! Can't wait till IronROM is updated so I can give it a shot!

Take your time tkkg, ill be waiting.! :fingers-crossed: :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] HighOnSamsung:
January patch is out ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
Issue post install

after installing this rom, i have unknown baseband and imei. anyone know of a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kanamor:
Restoring your efs backup...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
i lost my backup :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kanamor:
Then you can try reinstalling stock with odin, and pray for working
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
without bl? because with bl it will fail
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] and2:
You did not search the thread isn't it!? You have to know on what version you have been before QKG or BRA2. Download the corresponding Bootloader/Modem, flash it et voilà.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Tkkg1994:
Thanks [MENTION=4772005]DeejayTelis[/MENTION] that's exactly the same thing I wanted to say to [MENTION=2202947]AssAssiN FtC[/MENTION]

About the januar update, I saw it, now requesting source code for the kernel :good:

I saw it thanks for notifying :)

Please, please please, is it sooo difficult to use the search button? It's due to the modem you are using..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
how do i know which is my correct modem now?

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

everrytime i flash the BL it fails
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AssAssiN FtC:
Thanks for reaffirming that for me. Yeah i flashed the csc in the aroma setup and i was messing with my ims settings to get it to work better. But cool glad im good. I rebooted so many times and the only problem i get here and there is since i made it so i don't have to put my pin in at reboot i can just use my fingerprint if it happens to glitch and ask for my pin then my pin doesn't work so all i have to do is a hard reset and then boom im good. Very happy with the rom and how i have it set up. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] and2:
The question is wich version of BL are you trying to flash? If you are on Multi_CSC OXM (DBT) you can flash this

BL_MODEM_BRA2_OXM.zip

Unzip it, put BL in BL of Odin and CP in CP and flash it

If you did not update this year you can also use QKG.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
im on BTU
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] and2:
BTU is Multi-CSC OXM so you can flash my attachment and report please

PS: And you still did not tell us what version you tried to flash
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
i tried using the bqk6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] and2:
If you did not update than you are on QKG. You can go to here and download QKG BL and Modem (CP) (thanks to [MENTION=6377149]yash92duster[/MENTION]).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
the issue now is when i flashed the stock back, it says failed to mount efs, so idk what to do at this point
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] and2:
Mate,you flashed stock - what stock, all 4 parts and only QKG? When comes the efs failure? if in recovery this is normal. Have you tried to flash the combo mentioned by me?

Mate, you have to provide more infos about your issue and way to fix it step by step. Otherwise no one can help you.

Only bc you are new over here i did not stopp to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DeejayTelis:
Flash QKG CP and BL as per and2's instructions. See if it's fixed, if not check if you have EFS backup and try restoring it (after flashing QKG CP and BL ) .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
nothing is working thats why i tried stock, but even in stock the bl doesnt work only the rest. my phone is messed, how can i just restore to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] and2:
Did you read the post that you quoted? Have you tried to flash the combo mentioned by me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iDanyal:
yes i did but i told u im stuck in boot lop, and when i open twrp i have "cannot mount efs"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Look general section stocky thread by me

Read post 3 for failed to mount efs

If you don't have back-up then really screwed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DeejayTelis:
You should always make a full(!!) backup in twrp first. Before trying anything. If i remember correctly TWRP let's you backup EFS modem and i think everything. (And do a lot of research, I asked so many questions in this thread regarding BL and baseband, and came to a conclusion that I should wait for next IronROM update before installing anything. Because trying to downgrade from BQKG to BQK6 messes up the EFS. But, I could have also choosen in aroma to keep my bootloader and modem at BQKG.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Fen-X:
If you have a note 8 with oem issue, and rebooted the device withe the oem option not showing you will be in jail. That mean you will stck on bootloop or have the binary message...if i m right you have to restore stock on odin...if you rebooted without those two issues that mean your device is not affected by oem issue and it s normal you can t see oem option in dev options because if you ve selected modded ui in aroma. Because the modded ui hide the oem option;)

Sorry i didn t realize that i arrive in late. Sorry:o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] puddingoz:
Doing some experimenting with this pain in the !#$% oem affected N8 so I installed this brilliant rom with modded settings and ui,no oem toggle(expected) to see what happens after a week,after installation I did some mods using hot reeboot only,all good,stable enough to get through the week without system boot coz I've been jailed enough times to know I get oem toggle at 168 hours to the minute every time,XSA,anyway I reached 172 hours and still no oem toggle (expected)but theoretically safe to boot so I did a full system boot and no problem,everything fine,full reboot again,everything fine again,now let's see what happens without wifi and data,full system boot and got binary error which makes me think the oem is still controlled by the server which may explain why it disappears sometimes for some people,anyway I'm sick of guessing how,what and why,I just thought I'd try it but damn shame coz I love Grifos roms,hopefully a solution in the future but I think it's going to be a cat and mouse game from now on,for the lucky ones,enjoy the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Fen-X:
You re right. Totally agree with you.i m so sad for you and others with this issue. I really don t understand samsung. Before buying my note 8 and after followed tje oem issue thread since the day one, i was affraid and thought to buy the 1+5T but this one hasn t a real edge to edge screen compare to the note 8. Finally it was said that this issue is related in csc, location etc... so i ve decided to buy it directly from samsung in my country to minimize the risk although the price was more expensive than ebay or other and if at first boot i didn t find the oem option, ask a refund and go for 1+5T. Lucky i was and all was good for me.

I don t know where you live but Mentalmuso said in united states, it is a good start. If i were you, i sell it and grab another one without issue. Mentalmusu said the PAK device is a good one...keep cool and patient. I can imagine your frustration but we have a ton of very nice devs trying to find something for this issue. Be confident and things will arrive by their expertise and generosity

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Tkkg1994:
Hey

First off, damn this sucks, I can't even understand how it's possible affected by data/wifi connection. It gets more weird ever single day. I'm really sorry about that :(

Next time on the next update I'll try to ALWAYS show the OEM toggle in modded settings, let's see if that works...

To all others discussion the modem issue, could you please start a separate thread since this has 0 to do with the rom itself, would be very glad, thanks a lot :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] puddingoz:
Who knows mate but no need for apologies,It's not your fault,my 935 runs beautiful on 2.8 and a week on stock on the 950 is worth it if we can learn a bit more about this so it's no biggie here,next time I'll try something else and probably jail myself again but so be it, the line in dl mode 'rmm state - prenormal must come from the mainboard I guess somehow,It's like a resetable e-fuse like knox,good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I want to share my experience, This is even more worse because it will show OEM toggle and still stuck with binary error if OEM is off on samsung server. Indeed I have made this trick and removed now

PS : I am saying about forcing toggle with same trick but 0x1 instead of 0x0, If you have another idea then please ignore.

updates are coming sooner or later. its a fact
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Tkkg1994:
Problem is, this will get worse and worse with each phone model of samsung, so yeah if they start behaving like this, we maybe can't even flash custom roms on the n9 or n10...

I was thinking about the same with the toggle to force show via 0x1. My other guess would be some changes in default.prop but I haven't tested them yet.

If that registration is set by the server itself there is nothing we can do, thanks for sharing your experience!

Sure :) When it's ready and my finals are over
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Yes that's why I shared so issue doesn't get worsen as already many users reported on my previous version of rom. Exactly, it's server so difficult to fix. Still older base + s8 csc can keep oem Toggle intact, I have tried to find a difference on many framework and apks but unfortunately I couldn't find any difference that causing it.

Regards.

Have you checked out the link below from Jeremy? Disabling vaultkeeper and deleting that app. I have no idea if it works (currently in my exam phase) but will do some researches concerning it afterwards!

Hahahahah :D

I'm guessing samsung is working with full effort to bring oreo to us as fast as possible :)

I'll check that out when I have some time, the only problem: my device isn't affected by the OEM issue, so I can't actually test if it works or not

I have "vaultkeeper feature" set to 1, but i haven't had problems flashing, rebooting, or anything at all. Flashed this rom on day one, and all was fine.

Even more: first i flashed my carrier's software, then rooted and extracted my csc file. After i flashed this rom and had no oem issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ExodusNZ:
Hi there

So my phone needs to wait 1 week for OEM unlocking to show up - (So thats fine I can live with that = I waited a week and then flashed my phone) - however once I done that and rebooted the phone, it came up with you can only flash this phone iwht offical firmwares etc!

So is the ONLY way for my phone to work 100% is to WAIT the 1 week, enable the OEM unlocking, THEN once ive flashed the rom etc- LEAVE THE PHONE ON FOR 1 MORE WEEK??? And then enable OEM unlocking then it will be fine???

Is this the only way I can get my phone working? Look foward to your replies

Thanks

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nico7212:
Hi,

I tried on my note 8, but game mode is working by me. (it applys brightness +10% / display FHD+ and game launcher).

Maybe you should try to put the display to FHD+ manually to see if it causes the same bug ?

Or maybe you have desactivated game launcher ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kamikaze_Ice:
I noticed the AT&T's firmware files (N950U1 ) does NOT have encrypted csc files (cscfeatures.xml or cscfeatures_network.xml), and it contains no encrypted files for some other carriers as well. Might be worth looking into when you feel like tackling the CSC mountain.

HERE is a link to my initial post on this, with a download for the CSC files pulled out of the firmware. Didn't want to quote since I've already cross posted it enough due to split discussion threads.

Firmware source: N950U1UEU1AQI5_N950U1OYM1AQI5_ATT (sammobile).

CSC included: ACG, AIO, ATT, BST, CCT, GCF, LRA, SPR, TFN, TMB, TMK, USC, VMU, VZW, XAA, XAS.

Also, if you've not been reading it, there is a thread in the Q/A section covering T-Mobile CSC and signal issues/speed/missing features that may be worth reading when you get ready to deal with CSC files. I think the consensus they reached was to use a TMB_Keystrings.dat file from a previous note model to correct signal issues while using newer cscfeature(_network).xml (from S8+?) for... uh... carrier features lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] zimoon77:
You're right! Couldn't activate the mode because of the missing game launcher!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Tkkg1994:
:highfive: Glad it works fine for you!

Thanks for your feedback :)

Thanks for your post, I'll take a look at this once I've finished doing the basic csc selection for the n8 :)

The main goal is to find out how to decrypt the encrypted csc files. As we can't read all others csc (expect the ones from the US in this case)

I think all others also want to profit from the extra features :good:

Glad you found out why, dirty flashing the rom and choosing the game launcher will fix it :)

Hallo. Using your rom and loving it. But can you give me a mod to increase volume.... Or is there one to increase vol.

Keep up the good job.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kamikaze_Ice:
Indeed. I'm hoping this helps to figure out the encryption as we now know three main points:

Contents/data without encryption.

Data after encryption.

Keymaster files on the phone (very loosely put, this is used by the device to decrypt stuff that use keys generated on the device).

I did run across a list on a russian forum with all of the possible cscfeatures. I don't think it included args for the strings though.

If anyone is interested in it I can try to find it in my history later today.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if any other firmware has no encrypted feature files. You'd have to be crazy, or super OCD, to have each firmware set to see if any others fell though the cracks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kamikaze_Ice:
Screen rotation in rom control makes the superuser notification (toast?) pop up every time, and if you were in say "SystemUI > Statusbar colorizing" then screen rotation will also kick you back to SystemUI.

I don't recall seeing the popup in Renovate Ice, but I wasn't exactly looking for it and only noticed while trying to play Bob Ross with colors.

It is annoying, but mostly because I want to look at the colors at different angles of the screen due to OLED viewing angles.

Totally acceptable though.

If someone is able to find a proper key to decrypt any csc I'm here for sure to decrypt all files and check them and add the unencrypted files into my csc selection :)

ARISE. It has it's own aroma installer

factory reset and wiping internal storage are the very same things :D

But to your point: it's OK to not delete the internal storage

Till the next csc selection version will be out it for sure takes some weeks. I also have many things on my mind and I'll forget this for sure so pleaseeee send it to me even if it takes you long. It takes me long too..

I don't own a dex nor I have plans to buy one, could you maybe send me a logcat from this crashing? So I can try to fix it on modded UI.

As you said yourself you can use the stock UI to overcome it

Can you record the screen during the actions you are doing? That would explain it much better, thanks very much! :good:

Which csc are you using in your case? :confused:
