[Samsung Gear S2] joeheim:
Hi there,

having my Gear S2 now for quite a while I realiszd that the step counter is massively over counting compared to other devices ( FitBit and Apple smart watch and others). Just by going from bedroom to bathroom, brushing my teeth (with my other hand) it counts 300 steps while i have done mostly 10 ! Comparing it over the whole day compared to my fitbit it easily shows 20% more than actually walked.

Anybody with similar problems? Any ideas what is wrong? Rebooted a few times, still same problem.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
So i've seen a lot of viper/viper4arise ( + Dolby + etc ) on many threads...

with maybe way too many versions..

On 7.1.1 default OOS 4, I have mine worked just fine with the one coming from magisk repo.

I've tried the one from Magisk 14.5, processing says Abnormal.. :(

and i can hear crackle sounds in the background when playing music.

Decided not to clutter my magisk modules with install/reinstall, i immediately restore from nandroid backup with clean magisk

( plus one google camera patch module only. )

So have anyone got anything worked on our new OOS 5.0 ?

preferably with Dolby atmos working ? i've never tasted this one on my 1+ device ever...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] talpes:
I also couln't get V4A to work with Magisk so I tried the one that I also have used in 7.1.1 and it seems to be working without any issues for now.

The link : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141554

Just flash it and you're good to go :D

Best Regards, Talpes
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
If you're talking about the repo on the Magisk Manager, those V4A versions are horribly outdated.

Try the modules by ahrion, downloaded from the thread: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058

I personally have v2.0 working perfectly with Magisk 14.3. But also needed SELinux permissive module to process properly. Yeah, I know, a of folks are not going to want to set SELinux to permissive. But I'm just sharing what worked for me.

v2.3 wouldn't work properly for me. But one of the devs told me that I should delete all V4A and AML (Audio Mod Libs) and try to install through TWRP. Haven't had a chance to retry it doing all that. If you still have troubles, you can post the TWRP recovery log on the above thread, and they will try to help you out.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
Dolby Atmos does not work on Oreo. Do NOT flash, bootloop is a possiblity.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] fluster84:
This is how I got V4A working with OOS oreo. I had to set SELinux to permissive.

1. Use Magisk v14.5

2. Install 'Magisk SELinux Permissive Script' module by jman420 from within magisk manager (Modules -> + button -> select file)

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-selinux-permissive-script-t3577549

3. Reboot. Optional - Install 'Display SELinux status' module in magisk

4. Install 'Viper4Android FX for Magisk v14+' v4.0 by ShadySquirrel in magisk manager. You can get it from Magisk repo. (Other V4A modules might work too.)

5. Reboot and voila!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
Okay... so far there are 3 alternatives to get this audio mod in Oreo :D

I will try them and test...

Let's say, this is my attempt to keep track of how to install in oreo..

Thank you guys for all the suggestions ( and warning ! )
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] reliant_turbo:
did this version require any SELinux permissive trickery?

Brian
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] talpes:
Yes it does but you don't have to install separate apps or magisk modules to archive that. After you flashed the whole thing, open Viper - Settings - Turn on developer mode and disable SELinux. That's it.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
On my attempt with your method, It installs just fine with TWRP, but fail on running.

- Installed just fine with TWRP, no errors. (*)

- Reboot, but i can not find the V4A apps in drawer...

- So i opened up the zip file, extract the APK from v4afx-v2.3.zip/system/app/ViPER4AdnroidFX.apk.

- Install it manually, then it shows up in drawer.

- Everytime i try to run it.. it keeps asking to install drivers. I assume because it wasn't install in /system

( confirm install, reboot, then it asks to install again when i open it ).

So i decide your method does not works well on my device... or i may have missed something in the steps.

( Stock OOS 5.0, Bluspark's 8.54 TWRP, Magisk 14.5 )
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
Your method works OK on my device :good:

so we are only limited to v4A ? no Arise, or Dolby atmos ? :D

i see some OP3T users saying they got it working on their device with Oreo .. :(
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
It said aroma, i'm on stock ROM.. is it safe ?

I will take nandroid backup and try it...

EDIT:

My mistake for not understanding aroma installer.

Tried your method, only install v4a 2.5, and DD Plus..

No errors, when playing music, V4A says abnormal. Second tries, i can not even get the Driver Status to popup.

Dolby Digital seems to work, but it quit everytime i changed the mode, but sound does noticably change.

*rolling back to nandroid backup*
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
You tried ahrion's module, v2.0 like I said (you listed all other version number details but that one)? Newer ones don't work for me; I tried 2.3 and 2.4, and same error you have - no V4A app in app tray.

Also, I'm on Magisk 14.3 (as mentioned) so another variable there.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Rebel_00XCV:
Could you upload v2.0?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
my bad for not paying attention :D

but i'm a bit reluctant to downgrade my magisk :D

i've managed to get mine working as per Post #5,

i saw there's a new version just came out from ahrion ( v4afx-v2.4.zip , 11/30/2017 ).

I might gonna give it a try also with magisk 14.5...

As of this writing (11/29/2017) this is the latest firmware for the G950U1 att unlocked S8 . I'm leaving this here for reference so people can return to it if/when they need it.

Download, extract, remove .md5 file name off the end of each file, flash.

G950U1UEU2AQK2 (This WILL update your bootloader so after this, no going to QH3 or before. Not that you'd have a reason to)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gvQ0kaZTwbEYe2jvuIa05pCvwkS4ddtg
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
you donnt need to remove the .md5

you will need modded odin though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
You don't need to no, but it speeds up the process. I'm just posting firmware not making a hand holding tutorial. There's enough of those around

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] this.guy.lol:
If I flash unbranded FW on a carrier specific device, loke tmo or att for example, would it sim unlock the phone?

If I flash tmo FW on an att s8 would it in turn allow me to use the att original device on tmo? I ask these questions because I feel like it would work for both my questions since flashing the FW flashes both boot, kernel and baseband/radio. The which is needed for signal. Just some theories but would love to know the answers.

Btw, I have a F model S8+ and was planning on buying some US branded devices so I was curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
No, it will not unlock the phone (Note: Verizon phones are factory unlocked and remain that way after a firmware flash)

Yes, you can flash any carriers FW to a US S8 and use it with a different carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] this.guy.lol:
So I understand, your saying if I flash att FW to a T-Mobile s8 I can use it on tmobile? If that is the case, to me that's an unlock of sorts tiny book lol. Just wanna make sure is all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 12 o clock:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
You can flash att firmware and use it on TMobile but it will still be locked to TMobile. Just running att firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] this.guy.lol:
Just realized the typo.....what I meant was, if I flash ATT on a TMO variant I can use ATT while locked to tmo? I'm very unfimiar with combination fw and always opted for the UK models for alot of reasons. Sorry for the confusion of my op question. I know on the s7 and edge if you flashed the US unlocked firmware it not only removed AOL bloat but it unlocked the device. So that is why I ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
I had a TMobile S7 edge and flashing unlocked firmware never unlocked the device. That's handled by TMobile servers so...

Flashing unlocked firmware will give you just that. The smoother, bloat free firmware from another device but not the actual sim unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maquino1985:
I bought an unlocked device and wanted wifi calling so I flashed the g950usqs1aqf7 att firmware with Odin and it worked to enable wifi calling but I'm unable to get any ota updates and I hate the bloat. Is it possible to get WiFi calling with an unlocked firmware like this one? Also what is the difference between the U and U1 firmware variants?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
There are plenty of threads on this, but I don't think anyone was ever successful. I flashed att Oreo to my u1 and got the options, but can't get my company to change my imei back.... My personal phone sim works fine. Quit at that point since it's an Ims registration error. You can try merging the wifi calling apks, but I'm pretty sure it's baked pretty deep in the os. The Verizon guys got some of it working. You can try their threads and see if any of it applies to us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maquino1985:
Thanks. Some threads made it sound possible but inconclusive. I'll just assume it doesn't work.

BTW, can you link to the att oreo fw? And what do u flash that with Odin or comsey?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twizt3d:
The thread right below this one entitled Oreo ota has all the details and it needs to be side loaded through adb. Not Odin. But you will need to Odin the 950u base to get off u1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maquino1985:
Ok thanks. I need to flash anyways because I'm having terrible battery issues and just debating whether to go to a newer version of 950u or back to U1 and losing WiFi calling. In your opinion is oreo beta worth it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mumboender:
So just to confirm, I have read everything, but I am just a bit confused. If I flashed the unlocked firmware via modified odin on a locked AT&T S8 it will remove a lot of the carrier bloat and give my my wifi hotspot back, but remove wifi calling. Similar to when I flashed the T-Mobile firmware on my AT&T S7 and got rid of a ton of the AT&T bloatware but was able to activate my wifi hotspot but lost wifi calling. I stay locked to AT&T which is fine that is not my purpose for flashing

The links don't work. Any chance you've still got the firmware? I've been overseas since october. I have an unlocked AT&T phone that I intend to keep using when I get back, so I want to keep it AT&T FW.

Hi.

I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0

Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9

Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017

I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.

Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
1. This is old firmware

2. This is for the S8, not the plus.

You can Odin this which is the latest Oreo version (Use new Odin I posted in the thread under this one. Older versions WILL NOT work)

https://fws03.updato.com/GALAXYS8+/SM-G955U/LRA/SM-G955U_1_20180314104814_s8z3kpo97j_fac.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mick.B:
So I just download and flash the file thru odin?

Could you send me a quick guide coz Im really not that tech savy.

And after flashing that, will OTA updates work?

Edit - Link brings me nowhere "hotlinking not cool"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
Go to updato.com and search firmware for G955U1. Sort by date and download the latest version CRB9, I use the XAA carrier code but you can download whichever carrier version you want.

This is the Odin you'll need to flash: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1toAmWAKE4YTuI02RyylvbMIvE_Q7ml7n/view?usp=drivesdk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mick.B:
Sorry if I have to ask, but what does XAA carrier code mean?

Edit - So I searched for G955U1 Firmware and I see what you mean by carrier codes. But with Carrier code XAA, will I be able to use my phone here in the Phiilippines?

I mean in the end, I want to achieve a fully unlocked s8 plus, with no carrier bloatware and to receive OTA updates normally. Is this possible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
XAA = USA Unbranded. It will work however
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mick.B:
Thanks for being patient with me :)

So if I get this straight, download the firmware from updato, and also the latest ODIN, and flash it. I will have a unbranded S8 plus that will work in the philippines?

Do I need to care about "bootloaders"? - Ive read other posts where they always talk about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
Yes, you will have an unlocked phone + firmware (as long as it's unlocked through the carrier)

No, all the newer firmware is version 2 bootloader. A while back a bunch of idiots jumped the gun scaring people about false information about version 3 and flashing other firmwares, but we're still on version 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mick.B:
Judging that I can use another carrier here in the Philippines, means that my phone is already unlocked through my carrier right?

I see, so basing on my current firmware I am on bootloader version 2? Is it possible Im on bootloader 1? Sorry if I ask too much, dont wanna brick my phone. :(

and one more thing, I read about sideloading the OTA thru the samsung firware science website. That is also another approach for me to reach Oreo right? but I will still have AT&T bloatware on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
You can go from bootloader 1 to 2 and 2 to 2 no problem.

Firmware science is all carrier firmwares so yes it will have bloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mick.B:
Hi. So I tried flashing the firmware using princecomsy odin.

Two things happen,it'll either pass in just 2 seconds and phone will just reboot, or odin will crash when I click start.

Ive tried almost everything Ive read here on XDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
You can't use that Odin for Oreo. Search for my started threads. I posted the Odin you need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mick.B:
Gotcha. Will try soon. Btw, I have read multiple guides, some say use home csc others say dont. Whats your take on that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
I don't use the home csc because I prefer to reset it and start fresh when I change firmware types. If I was just updating unlocked firmware for example I'd use Home but going from carrier to unlocked firmware I'd use the non home

Can anyone port the new dolby sound mod from lenovo k8 note
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] mark04:
Yes, yes, I know... from the factory!

No, what I really mean is, these RETEU, RETIN, RETLA, etc. zip files hosted on lolinet, or passed around in other forum threads. Are they all just leaked by helpful Moto/Lenovo employees? Or is there some way to extract the firmware

1) off of a pristine Moto Z Play, or

2) by intercepting the OTA process somehow?

The question is relevant because I have a brand-new Z Play that I'd like to unlock and flash LineageOS on. But obviously, I'd like to preserve the option of wiping everything clean and going back to stock, including OTAs, if I change my mind later. (I know that the bootloader cannot be re-locked; that's ok.) After spending almost a whole day slogging through the MANY threads here, I think I have a pretty good understanding of how to restore stock from a factory image file---the ones with all of the sparsechunks. But my phone is RETUS, and most of what you can find online is from other world regions. Of course there is also RETAIL, but nobody has ever explained (and perhaps nobody knows) how that differs from the region-specific images, and what consequences there could be to using RETAIL instead of a proper RETUS image. Random "it works for me" testimonials are always encouraging to hear, but hardly the basis for real confidence! So, obviously, it would be great if there were some way to extract the firmware off of my own phone prior to unlocking. Otherwise, it does seem a little bit crazy to be flashing factory images provided by strangers on dodgy file-sharing sites.

(There are NANDroid backups, of course, but if I am understanding the situation correctly, you need much lower level than that for a proper reversion to stock. I.e. you need to replace the original recovery, and probably other stuff too.)

Please, enlighten me :cowboy:

Seems to be an IP filter, and some countries are not able to download the same last versions than others. so there is some shared files on afh or others to help, but for me i prefer to DL directly from motorola
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] mark04:
Interesting.

After the OTA updater has downloaded an update, but before the upgrade process is started, does the zip file exist "in the clear" on the phone? And could it be retrieved with adb pull before saying yes to the update?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] mark04:
Ok, I think I answered my own question. There is a difference between the OTA update files and factory image files. OTA updates are the ones with "Blur" at the beginning... maybe an acronym for something-something-update-something? So [MENTION=6216845]talktosam[/MENTION], your link is not applicable because those are OTA files; you can try to sideload them if your phone is already running stock firmware, but you can't use them to restore a fully wiped phone back to stock. The factory images I'm asking about are the ones with all of those "sparsechunk" files inside. (Please correct me if any of this is wrong.)

So that Motorola rsdsecure site probably does not exist for the OTA updater, as I'd initially thought, but for service personnel?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
Yes, somewhere in /cache.

Of course. It is for instance easily possible to move away or rename before installation using eg total Commander if it has root rights.

Blur...something...zip is right.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] talktosam:
yes u are correct, but any way to download factory image, its a life saver for some users also (mine search these files bcz am on stock bootloader unlocked)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] mark04:
But just to confirm, those zips you can only use with adb sideload; you cannot use them to flash over a different ROM and return to stock. Correct?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
I never sideload. There is the possibility to apply it to the wrong channel. You can put it to the original place to apply and let OTA do its work.

Afaik you also can sideload that blur.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MANswers:
So it looks like all of the AOD's are just like stickers.. except the clock, or calender, all others they hold no purpose, they act like digital stickers/logo's.

I was wondering if I am missing out on the Aod's that are not on google play or samsung store... and are animated or even if there is a always on display for a Music Visualizer, that shows the animated spectrum equalizer or wave?

Would look really cool if the music is playing and the animated visualizer is on on the display while the phone is on sleep mode.

Is this hard to make?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
well, that would totally defeat the AOD purpose, to be a light form of info while in idle, as it is, all users complain about batt drain, around 1% per hour, many preffer not to use it! I use the edge clock AOD, as it drains less than the others
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MANswers:
I get your point. But not everyone has issues with charging cell phones once or twice a day. Most of us have chargers or wireless chargers at work, and always connect or place the phone in charging mode.

Most AOD's do not make any sense except they display a small cartoonish logo over the phone. Samsung should either completely remove this feature, or should inculcate additional features to enhance the AOD's, to give it some sort of meaning, probably like an animated screensaver.. or as i mentioned earlier, having a music visualizer on the screen.

I was able to find an AOD in the samsung store that is just a static Music visualizer.. doesnt do anything, and serves no purpose.

I wonder how hard it would be for someone to come out with something like this.. if an AOD can display the current time or clock surely a few waves or graphic particles be made to dance to the tune of the music.

Well, when you put it this way, well yes, we should have the option to customize it any way we like, yes, you have a point there man
