[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Owenboy89:
Hi everyone.......again.

My last post I promise.

I wrote a bit of a guide for myself for when I need to do this again. I thought would post it here so people can see it and use it if they wish.

(The notes before the method is apart of my guide. Hope it all helps)

Notes Before The Method

the cable you are using to connect to the pc should be the original charging cable. (If you don't have the original then use the one your using and see if it works but try to find a official Samsung charging cable)

Your phone needs to be at least at 60% battery.

Older phones sometimes don't work with newer versions of Odin so if this is happening download a older version.

If it's a new phone and you want to personalize it from scratch then no need to back up and restore any data.

After removing your memory card, plug it into your computer using a memory card extension and copy photos to your computer. Just in case the phone formats the memory card when entered back in to the phone, after the firmware is installed.

Method

1. Go to Sammobile via Google chrome in incognito mode. (If you don't do this they will re-direct you to a sign up page, everytime you press download)

2. Download Firmware, find this by picking the lastest firmware thats with your network and match the Baseband version or the last part of build number. (found in system info in the settings)

3. Install the latest version of Odin and install secondary device drivers on your pc/Laptop.

4. (On your mobile) back up your data in the samsung cloud.

Setting>Cloud and Accounts>Samsung Cloud>Backup settings> Back up.

If you have a memory card, move all your photos ect, to it and remove it from your phone.

5. Go into setting and tap build number 7 times to unlock developer options. After unlocking it, enter developer options and enable usb debugging.

Setting>developer options>USB Debugging.

6. Once the firmware file has stopped downloading on your pc extract it and send send it to your Downloads File.

7. Open Odin and load each part of firmware in the right box e.g. AP with AP, BL with BL, CSC with CSC ect (Do not load up Home CSC this is used for when your moving a branded device to another brand, E.g. EE to 3)

8. Before you plug your phone up to the computer. Turn your phone off and enter Odin mode(Download mode). Each device has a different way of doing this so just google how to do it on your specific device.

9. Once your phone is in download mode plug it into the computer and press start. This should take a few minutes but some files may take longer.

10. Once the Odin confirms the process is done, by showing the pass sign unplug your phone and turn it on. (First time you turn it on May take a minute or two to load. )

11. Enter your google email and password, and restore all your data on google.

12. Then enter your Samsung user and password, after that press restore and choose the date you backed up on before you flashed your phone (at point 4)

13. Enjoy....your all done.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Or..

1. download fastboot ROM from Xiaomi, run flash_all_except_storage.bat (or flash it in MiFlash)

Congrats, you have stock device!

This way you are sure that you have correct boot.img corresponding to your ROM (otherwise OTA update will fail) and not some "random file from the Internet".
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolasmart:
Thank you very much!!!! Was looking for this in a pretty long time!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolasmart:
Nope. This boot.img doesn't work for me. After completing the instructions I'm just getting the Mi logo and then restart and it goes on forever. Maybe my system.img is bad??? Can anybody give me a link to a perfect Oreo fastboot ROM, becuase I found two: the one is my current ROM and the other one's system.img "cannot be extracted".
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
This one works for me https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75027522&postcount=63

Currently I'm rooted, but I fully booted right after flashing it without any mods and ROM started fine.

It will show some sparse warning during flashing, but it will complete the process OK.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolasmart:
Really? Is that what you're using? That's the exact one with the system.img errors. Nah, maybe a bad download.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Yep, working fine (well, except the video recording bug, but that is most probably Xiaomi's fault). I downloaded this file as well (https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/development/tool-aosp-8-0-ql1515-dec-8-2017-t3722184) and extracted and compared both system.img files and they are exactly the same except the very small difference - second one allows encryption as optional (modified) vs. forced (stock) in fstab. It might cause bootloop if you try to lock the bootloader with that system. Try to redownload files from Mega..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolasmart:
Hmm... redownloaded from Mega, says

error: cannot load '.\system.img'

Yes, I'm sure the file is in the current folder.

I tried a different fastboot.exe and the error is more specific this time :

target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi

Edit: The weird thing is that all other images from this Fastboot ROM install and work just fine. I've even used the boot.img from it. It works without any problems. The system is problematic.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
First fastboot.exe is probably old, second one seems to be fine. Just wait until it starts flashing system.img, it will take a minute or two and will look like frozen (fastboot has to split file into 6 smaller ones, probably has something to do with missing sparse format), be patient and don't interrupt the process.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolasmart:
THANK YOU!!!! IT WORKED!!! I AM NOW WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN! :victory: :victory: :victory:

After this unroot method i could install the january ota.

Then I used this https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654 method to root again :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkview37:
No need to uninstall modules and magisk

Just download & flash stock rom is enough to return to stock unrooted rom.

Is this you saying?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
If you want to return to stock ROM and never use Magisk again, then you might want to uninstall Magisk first. But if you are only unrooting to apply OTA for example, it is enough to flash stock ROM and then reinstall Magisk - all your modules and settings will be kept.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkview37:
Actually sir

I have flashed patched boot image not just just boot

is your method work then

&Of course I just unroot to apply ota
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
For OTA update, just reflash the latest stock ROM (keep data), apply OTA and root with Magisk again.

I suppose you're coming from custom ROM. If it's true, please try to follow the guide for restoration of persist.img.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] DavideLosito:
Does a kernel only change count as "custom ROM"?

Anyway, thanks for the answer, I will try that procedure.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Some custom kernels installed custom WIFI drivers in system partition (in such case full stock reflash should be enough), not sure if they did anything to persist partition. Better check topic of the particular kernel.

FAILED (remote: Error: This image isn't allow download)

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] erkme73:
I am on 137.35-5, unlocked/rooted and all has been working perfectly. Yesterday the phone powered down due to low battery despite being plugged into the stock turbo charger. After a little bit of troubleshooting, I've determined that the phone thinks it's plugged in (icon shows charging bolt, OS battery details shows "not charging"). In fact, even with the phone powered completely off and disconnected, if I tap the power button, it'll show the semi-circle battery status with a charging symbol.

I've used my air compressor to blow out the USB port, no change.

I've tried other cables, other chargers, no change

I've booted into recovery, where it shows "XX% battery" - though I don't recall if the charger is supposed to work when in TWRP.

GSAM shows it's charging with "calculating remaining time" never clearing.

If I leave the phone ON while connected to any charger, the battery will eventually die.

If I power off the phone, it will charge - about 50% increase in 8 hours (overnight).

Using a USB tester, I see that it's pulling 0.01-0.05a at 5V at all times.

I've attached some screen shots of the phone disconnected.

My next step was to do a factory reset (using the OS/GUI reset vs. Recovery) - but I figured if the phone-off screen is showing it's connected to a charger (without the phone even being turned on) then it's probably a hardware issue, no?

FWIW, yesterday, I plugged in a newly received OTG external camera (borescope from china). It worked fine on wife's LG V10, so I gave it a try on mine. It powered up, and the phone recognized it as a USB2.0 camera (though none of the camera apps showed an image). Perhaps that fried something?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bazinga137:
Very likely a hardware problem. Turn your phone off, grab a toothpick and gently poke around the port, it could be that some debris shorted out the contacts. Also check if the "tongue" with contacts inside the port is bent downwards by comparing it to a port that works, a quick Google search showed that it helped a lot of people facing the same problem (link). If you follow the solution in the link, do it with a non-conductive object.

If it doesn't work, and you still have your phone's receipt, try flashing stock rom and recovery and relock your bootloader (if your phone is recognized when plugged in to the pc) and go to your service center for repair. Some service centers don't even care if you unlocked your bootloader before, especially if it's a hardware issue (check out this article, it includes a statement from Motorola, though I'm not sure if it's still valid since Lenovo acquired Motorola).

If there is no evidence that unlocking the bootloader caused the problem, you're protected by consumer rights in most countries (especially those in EU).

Please suggest some apps that make best use of 64 bit custom roms .. thanks in advance!:)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Honestly... Google camera is about it, and it's quality is questionable compared to stock camera.

The whole "64-bit" thing is seriously over-hyped... other than the few apps that are 64-bit only (of which, only Google Camera comes to mind) I don't think you will see a noticeable performance change in apps that have both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad developers got 64-bit OS's working on this device, any advancement in custom ROMs is awesome and the devs deserve a lot of praise because I am sure it was hard work.
