[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Xhshk:
Hello, i found a S8 recently in good price but is IMEI locked on UK is there any way to unlock it? And is it safe to buy it? I read somewhere that it may be stolen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Ridou:
No
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
As already stated, no it can't be unlocked and it's most likely a stolen phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Check the IMEI here http://imeipro.info/

Does the phone asks for a code or does it prompt any message on the display?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ianeva:
Get a CheckMEND report - about £3 and will give you the current status of the phone as seen by the UK networks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Samiul15:
I have a imei Blocked s8 I used checkmend

On my s8s screen it says network pin blocked enter PUK code how can I get a code or unblock this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jophones2018:
Got same issue. Not been able to buy a new one went for second hand and after the check look like the phone is blacklisted. I cannot afford to lose £350.

There should be a way to make it working. If cannot be said . can someone with good hearth send a link or point to some other forum where this is explained.

On youtube people charge a fortune to make it working. So someone knows how to do it

Thanks for your understanding
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
We do not discuss imei changing or blacklist repair. It is either a stolen phone. Or it was blacklisted due to non payment. I would take the sales receipt you got to a police station and file charges on the seller for selling property he wasn't allowed to sell
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jophones2018:
Thanks I will see what I can do

Introducing Android Oreo (Go edition)​

A powerful experience for entry-level smartphones. It’s the best of Android, built with new and reimagined apps, so even the most affordable Android smartphones are as sweet as can be.

Built to use less

Brand new apps designed for lighter updates and downloads help create more space while significantly improving performance. That’s what we call a win, win.

Hope somebody will start porting soon.

Thank you.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] tanish2k09:
Dude that's targeted for devices with low specs... About 512-1024MB RAM. Our device is not that low spec to use android go. Normal android will run just fine with no difference in performance. Instead it will only degrade the UX...

Think of it like this :

There's a game which needs 8gb RAM and 2gb GFX mem to run.

Now if you have two pc with following spec :

PC1 : 16gb RAM, 4gb GFX mem

PC2 : 32GB RAM, 4gb GFX mem

Do you think the game will run faster on PC2 than PC1? Not at all! Both of them already have the required amount of RAM. Both will be fluid and smooth and fast. The difference is almost zero and the most noticeable difference in them would be fps only (which is not comparable on our phone)

It would be unnecessary to waste time on making go edition when the normal edition works fast already.

I don't think anyone from my development group will make it.

However if we do make it under some circumstances in future, it would take months. Android 8 development has been going on from September. It still isn't out yet. Expect the same for go.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] pepe_lodz:
Hi

I rebranded my P10 L09C432 to dual SIM L29C432. After that all works ok. Before i dont save backup my oemino file.

Now i must come back to my original L09C432. Again i done rebranded to L09C432 with use under script option rebrand to L09C432 and replace in directory \HWOTA\update files for model L09C432 (donwloaded from this site http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=vtr-l09&firmware_page=0 )

After that all is ok but SIM CARD is not reconized(show only emergency call) and above WIFI in menu setting show still option DUAL SIM SETTINGS. Info ABOUT show correct VTR-L09 and build number VTR-L09C432B150

I use some version B130, B150 and B180 and still the same problem. WHen again back to rebrand to L29 all works ok and all sim works ok.

How i can repaire my P10 to go back to original L09C432 with single sim card.

What was done by rebrand to L29 that now i can no go back to L09 ?

Thanks for help.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] LwannaCM:
Why do you want back to L09? L29 gives you an extra sim option, which is not that bad i think. the problem is and that´s just rumors: branded l09 phones are actually l29, but the carriers don´t want to support the second sim for obvious reasons. So, stay on l29.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] pepe_lodz:
I need back to L09 because i want sell my phone and phone has Huawei warranty. I need sell original manufacturer model.

Please anybody help me?

I also write to funkyhuawei support and he tell me that if i dont have backup oeminfo file i cant come back to L09 because tell me that file oeminfo is specific diffrent for each device. Tell me that this is not te same file on all L09C432.

But wat info contains this file?

Anybody has backup OEMinfo file from manufacturer model L09C432 and can share me?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] yura_if:
Hi. I have the same problem, you find out how to fix it?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] pepe_lodz:
No i don't find solution. Some user tell me that I must have original OEminfo file from my L09 T-mobile. But I don't find this file.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] well83:
I rebranded from Italian to l09c432. You don't have to remove sim while rebranding. Sim must be inserted before turning on your phone.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] yura_if:
Explanation of our problem:

If you have a carrier version of the singleSIM P10 (VTR-L09xxxx) and you want rebrand or debrand it, you have to use the firmware for DualSIM (VTR-L29xxxx), or you SIM won´t be recognized anymore!

The good thing is, after that, you´ll be able to use both SIM or SIM and microSD. The provided HWOTA rom is mainly for the L29. If you want the L09 you have to replace the "update_all_hw.zip" in the update folder. If you not sure how to get, take a look in the Huawei-Forums

I am still waiting for ElementalX kernel update,otherwise I'll get my device all encrypted :)

Can't wait to see how it is doing on 8.1
[Nexus 6P General] caiejay:
Gonna wait for it on nitrogen OS.
[Nexus 6P General] Fe Mike:
I thought that when you flash su after the rom before first boot makes it that your phone won't be encrypted? Is this not the case? I too want to flash it as I'm still on nougat but don't want to encrypt device.
[Nexus 6P General] wizardwiz:
I know that Magisk does that.. amm.. I think chainfire's supersu do the same but not sure
[Nexus 6P General] NiteShdw:
I downloaded the OTA for the Nexus 6P and it's older than than the 8.1 DP2 release. The "final" build is 171019.011 but my beta build is 171019.012 and Android won't let me load the update. Anyone have any idea why the beta is newer than the "final"?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Because Google. They have done this on every major OS for the 2015 Nexus devices.
[Nexus 6P General] mr-tical:
Just flashed 8.1 image.

Clean flash + latest Magisk = phone not encrypted & rooted.
[Nexus 6P General] NiteShdw:
So should I keep the "newer" version or should I do a factory image flash to the "older" release version?
[Nexus 6P General] tropical cactus:
This is the first time I have felt a real difference on a newer version of Android. Very fast and stable. Apps opening in the blink of an eye. Smoothest scrolling yet. Very impressed.?
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
Does anyone get to flash the full OTA via TWRP 8.2 successfully?!?
[Nexus 6P General] pdppdp:
If you go back to .011 you are on the stable channel again. If you don't have any issues I would remain on .012.
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I believe the idea for the older number is because you need to clean install rather than update from beta to final.

[Nexus 6P General] pdppdp:
I totally agree. I'm impressed. For the first time in years this feels like a real update. Sometimes even google does something right :laugh:

This is what 8.0 should've been.
[Nexus 6P General] Schiben:
Amazon Shopping app crashes constantly after updating from 8.1 DP1. Can anyone else confirm this?
[Nexus 6P General] Judge584:
Totally agree ! 8.1 has by far the most buttery smooth scolling experience of all released Android version since birth.

It definitively brings a better web surfing experience under Chrome, especially when scolling on a page that is not yet fully loaded.

Must have something related to this :

"Buttery smooth scrolling

A Reddit user named Scoularis envisions that,“Google has implemented an extra frame buffer to the Android renderer, and the end-result is perfectly smooth v-synced scrolling with nearly a dropped frame in sight”. While many users are testifying about the smooth scrolling experience on Android 8.1, we are yet to read a detailed technical explanation from Google. We will update this article once Google shares more in-depth information about the new implementations in terms of scrolling.

According to Scoularis, Android 8.1 DP suffers a little when it comes to the responsiveness of the UI. But that’s just some initial glitch that will lead you to buttery smooth scrolling experience. He says,”I’m not sure how v-sync worked on Android up to this point, but it’s definitely different in 8.1. The increased smoothness comes at the slight expense of responsiveness when scrolling, but it’s very slight and ultimately a worthwhile trade-off in my view.”"

I applied factory image and setup from scratch but I have random audio cut (hearing nothing) while calling on phone. It happened during all 3 calls I made today. If no known solution I will have to go back to 8.0. Never had this before...
[Nexus 6P General] Fe Mike:
Just curious if anyone who flashed 8.1 rooted with supersu had any issues on first boot. I cant get past google splash screen waiting for half hr now. I used this SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822 from this forum

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703. All i did was fastboot flash images, then flashed elementalx kernel all was fine booted no problem but after flashing su i get stuck.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
I just flashed the factory image via fastboot with no wipe. just loaded all per Heimdall instructions. first boot got me to the animation for a bit them it rebooted. second boot put me straight into recovery stating my data may be corrupt. I tried again and same boot sequence. UGH.

FWIW, I had root via Magisk and I uninstalled it completely and rebooted prior to flashing the 8.1. I will flash it one more time without wipe and see what happens.

nevermind, some DUMMY forgot to flash boot.img
[Nexus 6P General] coremania:
No, latest beta works fine, but I had to install the app and reflash the zip to make it visible. Flashed with flashfire with inject SuperSU, booted, root not working and no APK visible, installed APK from PS and flashed latest beta with TWRP. All good now.

[Nexus 6P General] pdppdp:
Mine opened a popup after checking safetynet and ask for permission to download an googleapi and after that it succeeded the test.

Maybe wipe or reinstall magisk manager (APK)
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
I'll give that a shot. I got the same pop up.

Edit, uninstalled Magist from the app and then re-installed it after a reboot. ap kept force closing. it was not happy. decided just to reflash everything.
[Nexus 6P General] pdppdp:
:eek:
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
IKR!!!

I think I have it. 5.4.3 and 15.4.2 did not work on my device. always just instantly FC. 5.4.0 is the only Magisk apk that will not FC. UGH..

what I did was flashed the latest TWRP onto the recovery and then ran the latest magisk uninstall. reflashed factory boot.img just for good measure. (mind you I had uninstalled all Magisk apk from device) Then bot back to recovery and flashed the lasted magisk 14 zip and then back into full boot. it came up, passes safetynet now and does not FC. apk version 5.4.0. I will not update that for awhile.
[Nexus 6P General] zer0se7en:
So in essence, we can now root 8.1.0 properly with SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502 by using newest twrp-3.2.0-0-angler? But with limitations?
[Nexus 6P General] coremania:
I didn't check if suhide is working to pass safety net, because I didn't need to, but I can't see limitations so far, what do you mean or asking about ?
[Nexus 6P General] mymistake:
use SR3-SuperSU-v2.82-SR3-20170813133244.zip the ome with "SR3"
[Nexus 6P General] zer0se7en:
Just confirming which versions of SuperSU and TWRP to use and what are the limitations...
[Nexus 6P General] pdppdp:
I'm running magisk with version 5.4.3 with no issues.

When you said you uninstalled everything in first place I expected you ran the uninstaller.zip for magisk in recovery as well. The apk is only the gui for easier handle.
[Nexus 6P General] pickupman66:
yea, New to this Magisk thing. I had ASSUMED that by doing a complete flash of the factory image it would wipe out all that Magisk had done. i did a complete clean install for 8.0 so this was just and update. still learning I guess.

[Nexus 6P General] serdel_elo:
It drains the battery so much. 50% during the night
[Nexus 6P General] Face_Plant:
I suspect an app you're using isn't ready for 8.1 yet and is keeping your phone from entering deep sleep. Have you used an app such as Wakelock Detector to see what might be keeping your phone awake? It's available for free right here on XDA.

Or your battery could be toast and need replacing. Check for wakelocks first since that's free and easy.
[Nexus 6P General] 09eric09:
Much better than 8.0. A lot smoother, I feel like 8.0 was a downgrade from Nougat across the board, 8.1 definitely made up for it.

Got 8.1 ota yesterday on my stock unrooted 6p. Seems to run fine. But oh well, I guess it's just a matter of days until this ol' sd810 powered clunker starts to bogg down into its usual overheatin' sudden freezing stuttery lagfest. But hey, I kind of like it anyhow.

[Nexus 6P General] gorman42:
Before upgrading to 8.1 I distinctly remember the "Stay awake" developer option making 6P remain awake with screen at normal brightness. Now it doesn't turn off but gets dimmer, at the level set normally a few seconds before going to sleep. Is it just me? I'm pretty sure of this change as I place my 6P in a cradle while driving and it always remained fully on before the upgrade.

Edit: I might be mistaken as I use the "Stay alive" app and it might just be that currently misbehaving for whatever reason.

Hey guys, i'm on fully stock 8.1, I just need twrp on my nexus 6p and no root. the twrp is not sticking. I tried the key combination but to no avail. Any advice is appreciated. I just need twrp and NO root. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] Face_Plant:
Try this:

1. Boot into bootloader

2. Install TWRP via fastboot

3. Boot into TWRP

If you boot straight into Android right after installing TWRP it gets overwritten. For the first boot after installing TWRP you must boot into it first before booting into Android.
[Nexus 6P General] Neilkesh:
Doesn't stick. I am playing around with kernels, replaced the stock with custom and now going back to stock. I flashed the kernel via fastboot, same thing for the twrp and after reboot i press vol down and then power and come back to bootloader and fire up twrp from there. But after i boot up into system its gone.
[Nexus 6P General] boxcar8028:
what you need to do after installing TWRP from the bootloader with ADB (and you are still in the bootloader) is to toggle the volume button to recovery and press the power button. now recovery TWRP will boot up. now swipe to keep TWRP. you need to do this before booting in to system.
[Nexus 6P General] Neilkesh:
It doesn't give me the option to swipe up. I had a stock kernel so i got twrp and flashed a custom kernel . I got the option once to select twrp to make it not read only and all. So i swapped kernels again(i get indecisive sometimes) and I am not getting the menu a 2nd time after flashing twrp.

I do not want to dirty flash the official OTA with sideload to avoid further problems.
[Nexus 6P General] Carolinaherps:
I was running a custom Nougat ROM and tired out the official Oreo 8.1 release. I did a clean install (wiped everything but internal storage). Here are some issues I saw....

1) volume up/down keys didn't make any sounds

2) LED indicator didn't work at all (charging, received texts/emails)

3) WhatsApp didn't popup an indication when a message was received. If I launched the app then I'd see it.

4) I didn't see the Night Light mode available anymore

5) after letting Google restore my apps, my 6p started rebooting randomly about every 5 minutes. Sometimes after rebooting it would get stuck on the boot animation. If I rebooted manually then it'd boot up fine.

I then tried the latest 8.0 build and saw the same issues except for the rebooting, although I didn't go through the app restore this time.

After having the reboot issue I removed 8.1. Has anyone else seen these issues after installing?
