[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] :
My SD card is not recognized and doesn't even show up at all on Android 7.1.2 (SlimROM). But when I boot on TWRP recovery it at least acknowledges my SD card and shows the folder the /external_sd

I'm not able to partition it though. I have formatted it in TWRP many times with different formats such as FAT, exFAT, ext.4, ect. but when I boot up back to Android (ROM: SlimROM 7.1.2) from recovery, the SD card is still not shown. It doesn't even acknowledged that there is something in the SD card slot.

It's a class 2 micro SDHC card by Samsung. I originally got this SD card with Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate, but it still works.

I've tested my SD card and it has been recognized by all my previous phones with no problems today. Phones tested: Moto Razr M, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S Fascinate

Any help, suggestions or identifying the culprit of the problem is appreciated.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] riggerman0421:
Your first step should be to check the SD card works with the stock rom. If so, it's probably a problem with the custom rom, if not it's most likely the SD card reader.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] :
If there is a problem with the SD card reader, how would TWRP acknowledge it? I just flashed the stock rom and it still doesn't read the SD card. I just got this phone as well

After two months I get an email my s5 trade was not approved due to a crack screen or it does not function. Which is not true the phone was in very good condition always in a case etc. This is bull on part of Samsung. Anyone ever had an issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myechophone:
Do you have any photos to prove it? Usually a credit card company can fight if you have a good proof.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hotspace:
I'm going through this right now. And, I had a defective Note 8 that I returned. Here it is almost 2 months later and I still haven't been credited for the Note 8 I returned and I'm out a perfectly good Note 5 that I traded in expecting to receive $350-$425 in trade-in. Completely annoyed and will never ... NEVER purchase anything from the Samsung site again. I've been in a tit-for-tat email war with "Ecommerce (Samsung Office of The President)" and am still fighting them today!! This green bar showed up on day 3 of my Note 8. The same day that I sent off my Note 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fearbasel04:
My stupid self thought since all we place in the box is the phone and label outside they might not have the right phone matched to the account so I only took a picture of the esn. Also I heard if I dispute the charge they will blacklist my note 8. So annoying !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fearbasel04:
Great phone, suck ass service... They should not sell direct. They should alone focus on making products.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hotspace:
Coincidental that as soon as I received notification that my 'post had been quoted' I also received an email from Samsung

Dec 12, 10:41 EST

Good Morning xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thank you for contacting Samsung. I would like to inform you, your case is currently under review at this time. The screenshot provided and the trade-in transaction will need to be further reviewed by corporate, once an update becomes available you will be notified via email. I apologize for the delay and inconvenience this matter has caused during this process. Thank you so much for your patience with Samsung, have a wonderful day.

Best Regards,
Sharena
Office of the President- Samsung Direct

Frustrating to say the least. I have 12 emails all requesting that I be patient and that my case is under review. F@$& that noise!! I'm at the point where whatever they provide will not be enough. Meanwhile, I'm now paying interest on a purchase that was returned somewhere at the end of Oct beginning of Nov.

Also, early in these email chains, I was asked to provide evidence that my Note 5 did not have a cracked screen. I took picture prior to sending.

When I supplied the picture to them, I asked for them to provide me a picture of the cracked screen. I got nothing for that request.

Is anyone else having issues receiving SMS and MMS on Sprint network. I also purchased me phone from Sprint. I am currently on software NMJ32F. I have reset network settings, and factory reset. I have updated PRL and Profile. I have pulled the Sim and reseated it. I have done everything I can think of any suggestions? Phone calls work perfectly fine. Just receiving messages is not working. Data works fine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DiamondDave98:
I have Sprint but the device is an unlocked model. Haven't had any issues but I'd say you've done everything you can. Take it to a Sprint store and make a stink until they replace the device.

Text yourself
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Norcal232001:
That is the weird thing. I have texted myself and it works. I guess i should have added that this is happening for me for all non sprint friends and family. if they have sprint everything is okay just not if they are with another carrier.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
Sprint is having texting problems with this phone and has acknowledged it. They have identified the problem and testing a fix.

The problem identified is repeatedly receiving the same text and not receiving newer ones. If you aren't receiving anything at all, I'd get in touch with support. It could be a provisioning problem.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Norcal232001:
I got a hold of support and sounds like the fixed something on the back end on the towers. We shall see if that fixes the issue. Nothing yet but i will give it 24 hours
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Poxie:
I've been having this problem, especially not receiving mms messages and duplicate sms messages. They periodically get stuck, and the only way to fix is to get on a chat with support and have them refresh my network connection with the phone off and send a text message. I use Google voice so I can see sms messages in the voice app but know if something is wrong if I don't get a message in the messaging app.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
I updated my APN and preferred network and everything is working fine since. No more repeated/delayed sms or hanging mms.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
Go to phone settings>mobile network>APN settings then pick the one (or any) that you want. Open it up then tap on any name fields that you want to edit, change it as you wish. After you edited all the name fields tap on the 3 dot at the top right corner then choose save, and exit out. Make sure you check/select the APN you just edited.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler27:
So I found this in a thread on Reddit :

I didn't have to use adb at all so I'm not sure. I followed these instructions:

Went to samsung.firmware.science

Selected my phone, my currect firmware (which was BQK5 for me)

Selected ZQKO as the firmware to update to

Copied downloaded 'update.zip' file to my SDCard

Powered off my phone

Got into Recovery by pressing power+bixby+vol-up

Selected Update from SD Card

Selected my update.zip files

Update took about 18 minutes"

User claimed it worked on Verizon with no data loss, is there any truth to this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] menting:
I'm not sure I'd trust that site.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrcdpm:
It absolutely works. Did it on my Verizon S8 as described above. Went from BQK5 to ZQKO and lost no data. The site can be trusted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
It's Reddit, not Anon.

I thought flashing those zips wipes data. Always does for me...

HOWEVER, 99.9% of people's bugs and complaints are because they didn't wipe before running the beta and were cured after a wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler27:
Well assuming it does work, how would I know which beta version it is? Also what about future updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] menting:
I'm not saying I don't trust reddit.

I'm saying I don't trust samsung.firmware.science (which is blocked by my company, saying it has PUPs)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpcdeux:
The thing I don't like is the "unreleased" or "leak" stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
explain to me why you dont trust that site.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] menting:
see screenshot of my company blocking that site...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler27:
To be fair, many corporate web filters throw false positives to block as many "distracting" websites as they can.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] menting:
Correct, but this is still a pretty sketchy site imo

I'd rather not take any risks for a beta that's probably going to end in about 2 months, but that's just me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Apart from possibly being sketchy, it's not really 'all' devices either right? It's only the SM-G950U variants... (USA only?)

Still interesting though :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Meister_Panse:
Why are you giving people hope when you write "Oreo beta on all devices?" but when you go to the site only the u models are selectable?! Shame on you! There are much user with the f model and the can´t update!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tasked28m:
Why install a firmware update from a three option web site , compromising your phone at the mercy of anyone ? This is bluntly stupid
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xostl:
is there a version for F or FD devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrSteelX:
It is about being on the new version of android. If you did not make it in beta, then this one way of getting in on the action.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adj998:
Website is fine, it's where I got all my updates from. It's for the s8 s8+ and note8 only. Obviously for G950F users you guys have root and can get any Oreo rom you want so don't complain that it's for snapdragon only
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougncaren2:
Doesn't work on Verizon S8

Tried it. It didn't work on Verizon Galaxy S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler27:
Did you select the option in the original post? I haven't had a chance to attempt it, plus I'm not sure which beta version is correct
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
let me just put it this way. We cant give your phone a virus via a OTA without Samsung signatures. If we happened to have those we would just build it via AOSP and make TWRP and such. We could sign TWRP and make it for our phones without tripping knox. We could do all of that with signatures which we dont have. So trust me, if it works, its legit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler27:
With that being said, is the worst case scenario nothing will happen if I attempt this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
the worst thing that happens is recovery or adb says it wont install then you just reboot and nothing happened.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Meister_Panse:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
Actually, I flashed a G950U firmware on my phone using carrier switch method. It is now running G950U firmware flash via ODIN. That's why I tried flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leos0000:
Guys can i have pls link for download ore for g950u. Flashing with odin thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mimoun103:
help

can give us link for g950f
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
Finally, I installed oreo in my G950w. Had to convert it to G950u by flashing a TMK firmware but now I'm running oreo on S8 which was canadian out of box.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrcdpm:
It definitely works. You need to be on 2BQK5 then flash the BQKQ update. Worked fine on my Verizon S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leos0000:
How u do give me pls instructions
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
It was very difficult process. I first flashed a g950U1 rom then flashed g950u rom (which was so difficult, I had to flash files in steps e.g bootloader at first then cp and others). I am surprised why my phone didn't brick during that process. After that i flashed update.zip using sdcard and got my oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrSteelX:
At least kq is on Dec 1 patch
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Are you being facetious? This is about as basic as flashing roms/updates can get

No need to flash in steps either, no idea why you did it that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] recharged20:
I dont see one for my current G955U aqk2, strange
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dksoni411:
No facetious. I don't know where the problem was when I tried flashing g950u firmware. Because I was able to easily flash g950u1 firmware. But flashing g950u firmware failed by odin without stating any reason. So I flashed it one by one which odin flashed.

Anyways if you want to know.

1: I flashed g950u1 unlocked firmware from updato

If was one V2 bootloader so you should download as per your bootloader

2: I flashed g950u (TMK) firmware (as it was only bqk5 bootloader v2 supported firmware.

3: I downloaded update zip from link provided in thread and copied to external sdcard.

4: Boot into stock recovery and flashed through it.

5: It took almost 25 minutes. After that I factory reset to avoid issues (as many advise on thread).

Now running it smoothly.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuxdreamerx:
So will any of those L7 update files work on beta 3 to go up to beta 4?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] omario117:
I feel like this has all become so foreign to me... if it's okay for me to ask some admittedly basic questions...

I went to the site in OP. I currently am on 2BQK5 based on what is in the 'About Phone' section of my S8+

Based on my understanding of the naming scheme: Q = year (2017), K = month (November?), 5 = revision (letters being higher than numerals) -

Go to the site from OP and select appropriate options in the first two boxes. Third box gives me several choices (in order): 2ZQKQ, 2BQL1, 2ZQKS, 1ZQKL, 2ZQKR, 2ZQKO, 2ZQKM

OP states to download 'ZQKO' for the Oreo beta. Seems simple enough. However, then I am left unsure as to what are the versions ending in -Q, -R, -S are. Based on the revision, would they not be newer and therefore preferred? Or are they newer but Nougat and not Oreo? What about the 2BQL1 option? This would be, based on my understanding of the naming convention, the first revision from December? Same question then - why is ZQKO preferred over this latest revision?

Then, MrSteelX states ZQL7 is the latest revision. Is this referring to the fourth beta released a few days ago? Is the fact that this is not on in the list of options I see on the site because they do not currently have it available? I think that makes sense, but again, just wanting to understand before I do anything.

TIA for anyone willing to take the time to answer these. Sorry to anyone else that had to read it :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrcdpm:
If it has a Z then it is the Oreo beta. ZQL7 is the latest and it is up on the site now. If it does not have a Z such as 2BQL1, then it is still Nougat. I am currently running the ZQL7 and it seems to work very well. I don't know how these versions related to the actual beta releases. I am running on a Verizon S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iamjustdenzel:
How would this work? Would I still be able to have OTA Updates? Or atleast upgrade to the new betas. Im sorry I am new to all this
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sofir786:
No you can only get ota betas if you are part of the beta testing group. But you can I think upgrade manually when people dump the updates as they come out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iamjustdenzel:
Thanks for the quick reply, I have one last question with all this. Would that mean I would have to reset my phone every time a new beta comes out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iamjustdenzel:
What would be the latest version? Im really confused on the numbers and letters in the name.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuxdreamerx:
In case anyone was wondering like me you do have to have the specific OTA that is for people on beta 3 to update to beta 4. I imagine the only way for someone like me to go to beta 4 is to go back to BQK5 then up to ZQL7...

Edit: I should clarify this is if you sideloaded and are not a part of the beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iamjustdenzel:
How would you then go to a different version of the beta? Would you have to go to go back to the stock firmware of your phone?

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Could you share the files for bqk5. I cant find the firmware anywhere
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuxdreamerx:
Well crap I haven't actually looked for that firmware yet... I'd imagine you'd have to use Odin... I'm probably going to leave it alone until the OTA gets posted on the science firmware site. Beta 3 is running incredibly well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] omario117:
Okay, that makes much sense. I have the S8+ and it has not updated to show a December Orea beta. Seeing as how the one released a few days ago had a massive list of fixes that seem worth the wait for, I think I'll hold off until the ZQL7 one is available for the S8+. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tlopez1973:

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] oifjasofhoiadfkjhkdfhhhhd:
Hi,

My friend gave me his Honor 9 which was damaged by water (snow).

Phone was dead but after cleaning it and drying and connecting to USB I can see blue LED lit where the earpiece is. The battery is dead. Now: is there any hope for the phone, maybe connecting new battery could bring it to life? I'm not sure if I should spend more time playing with it.

Some additional info: when connected to USB it draws 180 mA, trying to power it through battery connector doesn't do anything. When power button is pressed for ~8 seconds current slightly increases (0,5 s) then goes back to 180 mA - I suspect the reset circuitry or even CPU is alive. LCD is not showing anything. Telephone is not detected on USB port.

Thanks for any tips.
