Hi there!

Because lack of the development at this device. I try to make a little work for this infamous device.

This is a custom recovery for Infinix Zero 4 based on PhilZ Touch Recovery version 6.59.0. You can use this recovery to flash custom ROMs, root using Magisk or SuperSU and other flashable ZIPs.

[Really] Important - read before flashing

I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong. You are agreed to flash this recovery that will break XOS OTA update, lose warranty and may break your device.

However, I've included stock recovery if you change your mind and want to back to original one.

Instructions:

1. Go to Settings, About Phone, and then tap Software version 10 times. It should now say that you are a developer.

2. Go to Settings, Developer Options. Turn on USB Debugging and Enable OEM Unlock.

3. Install MTK Preloader USB driver, skip if you've already installed this one.

4. Extract PhilZ recovery zip file, and extract

5. Turn off your device.

6. Open SP Flash Tools, locate scatter file to your downloaded zip recovery.

7. Click download, and press VOL DOWN on your device.

8. Turn on your device, press POWER and VOL UP.

9. Your custom recovery has been installed.

Back To Stock

If you decided change your mind by restore stock recovery for reasons such as want to keep your warranty, continue receive OTA update and maybe want to be back on the track, I've also provided stock recovery both Nougat and Marshmallow version.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Honex98:
because the boot isn't patched. you can use Magisk to patch your boot.img and flash it again and it will work.

you can get your boot.img either from your stock ROM where is available at infinixmobility.com or you can use miracle box to extract it from your current installed ROM

Question for those in the know.

Is there a way to update Android on a Pixel that has Root/TWRP other than using a PC?

Recently, (last two times I have updated) I have had two instances of the Win10 PC freezing after using the android tools. First time I deleted the extracted Android image and then had to uninstall all Android tools to fix the PC. The second time I had to ultimately restore the PC after updating Android.

Not sure why or what is causing it but the common item seems to be the use of Android SDK, it's tools, and/or ADB/Fastboot.

Hello,

I tried the lineageOS ROM... now i want to install the stock firmware. I've downloaded the PRA-LX1C432B181 firmware with Huawei firmware finder, extracted, flashed recovery + system (It "divides" the system.img in 7 files, i think that's ok) + boot.

Now the phone starts the huawei logo appears and then just restarts again.

Is there something i can do? Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panicMode:
Context: Bought a an s8 for cheap, model number comes up as g950fd, went about installing stuff then went to get a sim card the next day.

Aaaannddd I can't connect to my network, and upon checking i have no imei number, and my baseband is uknown. Only thing I have is a serial # that comes up "clean" upon checking on sndeep.info

I casually browse/lurk this forum so I'm not gonna ask for IMEI advice. Rather I'd like to know if I should be going after this dude (who has about 2 days head start I guess), or I can take this somewhere to have it "fixed"?

p.s. I'm in the philipines so IMEI services aren't illegal (I think?)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
Best thing to do is to reinstall firmware with smart switch software. If after that it still says no imei and no baseband then whoever you bought the phone off, they messed up the efs possibly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bradleym:
=======================================================================================

The only thing i would say about that, is this phone was locked to a network, and someone used a software to unlock it. But the issue with unlocked phone from their network, is that you might lose the IMEI, and i you lose that, you might not be able to use the phone properly. My only suggestion is to go to sammobile.com and download one of the ROMs from there, yet you need to know which network it was in before the happen to it. I think you need to speak with the buyer and ask about the name of the network.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Vinnvin:
You're basically scammed.

because the previous owner did rootings and stuffs i guess, (check if warranty is 0x0 instead of 0x1.)

If you've rooted and played around system files, wipes etc. You will probably lose your imei @ 10% chance possibility?

Unless you have a EFS Partition backed up before hand from this phone from TWRP. You're basically screwed?

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/help/lost-imei-efs-folder-messed-t3614320

And yeah try reflashing firmware from your country etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
I would follow this advice.This is about the same options i would do my self.Sometimes IEMIs can get messed up with basebands and such so no harm in trying stock restores but most def contact seller and return it if possible
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panicMode:
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll try and get my money back but if this was done with prior knowledge that the phone was wonky my bet is he's gone.

As for the technical advice, will definitely look into it as I'm a complete novice. Will update when something comes up.

Thanks all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
The reflashing of the firmware is quite easy,I hate it for ya buddy if he is gone....It's sad to see people scam others hard earned money....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BBREEDMEE:
Not a scam!

Don't panic just yet! I'm actually super new back into the android game, ditched iphone a few weeks ago and got myself an s8. I started looking into rooting my phone since the last time I rooted an android phone was back when T-mobile had their G1's. So, I thought I had to really re-educate myself upon what android now has to offer. Well, going through different sites, and the different models, versions, variants, etc about the s8, I did come across the G950FD. It's a legit phone. I believe (and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) they were only sold in India, unlocked, and dual sim! The sim tray in the phone can either hold 2 sim cards, (1 nano sim, 1 micro sim) or if you preferred to extend the capacity instead, the slot for the micro sim, can hold a micro SD card instead, since they're the same size, give or take. The reason it doesn't have an IMEI nor baseband is because the dual-sim capability, thus why the serial number comes back clean. You weren't scammed, you're actually quite lucky since those versions of the s8 were sold in India, and you managed to come into possession of one, for cheap, yet alone a phone everyone here thought was a scam as well. I wish I could have one! But unfortunately, here in the states, I have a CDMA carrier and dual-sim phones don't support it. But heres a link to the source of your awesome new phone! Now you can relax! You not only got an s8, you have a rare one! Enjoy it!

EDIT: I tried to link you to the source, but being a new member I couldn't. However, if you search for Samsung g950fd, it should link you to the Samsung website, where your phone is it. Hope this has helped you feel more at ease with your phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dontbeweakvato:
G950fd is an international version. I believe the FD has an unlockable bootloader, which makes it sought after. Somebody probably wiped efs In Recovery by accident.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bushako:
Dude I have the FD version and I have 2 IMEI's. Also, it's not just in India as it's also popular in UAE. Please do your research before replying.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Can we tone the FUD down a bit? "Rootings and stuffs" does not equate a 10% chance of losing your imei. There is a 0% chance of that happening. There is a 100% chance of that happening if you mess up and explicitly do it yourself, but even that is pretty hard to accomplish.

There are more than enough legitimate cautionary tales and lessons to be learned from this to spread around. Let's not ad not only unnecessary (and incorrect) information needlessly
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panicMode:
So spent the last couple of days on a wild goose chase. Long story short, guy's gone.

So, novive me is gonna follow the guides on here. I've skimmed a through a few and would like some clarification before i end up messing this phone up even more.

What "stock rom" should i be looking for?

And for what model in the sense that the phone's model number is G950fd, but the Google play store tags it as g950f. Is that one letter difference important? Did this guy change the model name? Is there a way to double check?

Sorry if I'm coming off as paranoid. I've never done a flash before, nor have i ever been in this kind of situation.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] HighOnLinux:
Well, there's still hope. The seller had to possibly tampered with the firmware before giving it away towards you. Advice given before hand about re-flashing the firmware is strongly recommended to double check if everything is correct. You can either use sammobile.com or updato.com whichever you would prefer. since you have the SM-G950FD version, put that model number in the search bar and get the most up-to-date fw you can get. Use ODIN to re-flash the firmware back onto your phone and wait a couple of minutes to see if everything is back to normal. If the baseband and IMEI is still unknown, then we'll have to see another method to get it back to normal. But for now, re-flash the stock firmware.

Edit: Tell me what carrier you're using and i'll supply you with a link to the firmware you need, for now, download ODIN from here if you don't have it yet: https://samsungodin.com/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panicMode:
Ok so I'm going through the available firmwares in the Philippines and they have ones available for the g950fd. They do not have any available for the g950f.

Now, I'm scared bec the Google play store says my phone is NOT a g950fd, and is in fact a g950f. I also don't have a sim2 label on my sim card tray.

Is there a way to double check what model i actually have?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] HighOnLinux:
Settings, about phone, model number should be under device name
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vladimir_carlan:
The only way to find out for sure what phone model you have is to put your phone in download mode. There you'll see your phone number. That's the only accurate way. Anything else it's useless. What Google play store show, what phone number is shown on settings it's irrelevant. The phone model listed by Google play store or on your phone settings can be changed very easy but editing a simple line on build.prop.

Now about your phone. From what you described it's obvious that you have your EFS partition corrupted. Without a backup of your EFS partition you're screwed. You can download and flash whatever firmware you want. It's just a waste of time. Flashing another firmware will not going to fix it. You have a backup of EFS partition? If yes, then it's great. Search for a guide for restoring EFS partition. If not, stop wasting your time. The result can be only one: a very expensive paperweight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panicMode:
Ah thanks, so according to download mode I indeed have a g950f and not aG950fd - efs professional also shows the same thing

How screwed am I now that:

a. i'm apparently running on firmware that tags the unit as G950fd

b. sammobile doesn't show any G950f firmware for the philippines

c. i have no idea where this phone has been prior to my purchasing it

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] HighOnLinux:
Doing some research, there isn't any philippine fw for the g950f, hence the firmware being g950fd. I'll try to edit more with more info to find.

I am disappointed by all the FUD and paranoid advice in this thread so far.

[MENTION=8808030]panicMode[/MENTION]

Install the following app from playstore - Samsung Phone Info

And then post screenshot of each tab. MAKE SURE to hide IMEI and Serial number if visible in any screenshot.

If you are not sure how to do that, then you can PM me the screenshots or your telegram handle to take this conversation private.

There is no need to panic when there are ways to ascertain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
When I buy a device I expect it to have A IEMI also I dont expect to have to fix it myself....

Please next time take this into consideration with your disappointment As Most of the advice in this thread is legitimately correct AS no one should have to Fix it contacting the orig seller and then reflash correct firmware is proper steps.Just because you do not feel it is Does not make it "disappointing"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] madnav:
What are you talking about?!!

Are you actually trying to justify FUD and paranoid advice given by members in this thread?! :eek:

I can understand paranoia from the OP/buyer itself; but rest all FUD (like rooting etc has 10% chance of wiping EFS) is totally unhelpful, and rather creates unnecessary uncertainty for OP/buyer without even checking for facts.

I requested OP to submit some information so that problem could be understood properly first instead of jumping to wild guesses. As a forum mod I expect you to cleanup FUD posts (and advice like flashing stock ROM without even knowing which model/variant OP/buyer has) instead of trying to justify herd mentality.

Why couldn't the op just used smart switch, they wouldn't even need to mess about downloading the correct firmware to use with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] madnav:
Because at this point no one is certain if OP even has a real S8.

That phone info app would have been able to clarify whether he has an S8 or some clone.

SmartSwitch will not tell you that; it will simply not recognise the device (which isn't conclusive).
