Here's what worked for me.

1. Use Samfirm to download Stock rim

2. Download in binary mode, I. E., you will get 4 files. BL, AP, etc

3. Use 7zip to extract the PIT file from the CSC

4. In Odin, attach each of the files to the respective sections. BL, AP etc.

5. Select repartition.

6. Attach the extracted PIT file.

7. Flash
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seralapph:
Will do so tomorrow day is about to end for me, I'll let you know if it works :)
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbit12:
Sure. Before that, just see if you can flash the stock rom without repartition.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seralapph:
Managed to re-partition, yet the problem still persists *sigh*
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbit12:
So not a software issue.

Battery or battery connection?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seralapph:
Going to try and look into that, currently my phone seems dead, unless when i connect it to a charger and gives the charging symbol without actually charging..

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Its showing because your device is not rooted. Mounting system requires root previlage in your device.

Root your device and try again.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
hello again, i think i made a mistake, in my root explorer i tried to put /system on read and now my device is stuck, i can't reboot it, the screen is on and black, the two buttons have light what can i do please help i don't wanna brick it (maybe i already bricked it now) please
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Listen

Download the mena firmware, and then press and hold power button and volume down button it will force reboot your device, then your phone may get rebooted and go on black screen

Dont worry, take a deep breath and keep patience

And do the following steps

Install OST and follow the steps down here

The instructions will be for OST tool and for mena firmware but you can install Chinese varient too

Install OST tool

Now

1. Open ur directory, c:/program files x86/OST and replace the online update tool from there and delete the config file,

AND REMEMBER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,

2. Open online update tool from ur directory only, from c:/program files x86/OST only, donot start it from any shortcut created on desktop or from start menu, just start it from its original directory,

if it still gives error about microsoft error warning, try fresh replacing ur online update tool again from the zip

And start the program from there only, once it successfully started

3. Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is

PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 file your one could be CNxxxx) and put ur phone into bootloader,

For now what you need to do is connect your phone and keep holding your power button for a while till it switches off your device and leave the button once if it turned of before it get rebooted

It should automatically take you to boot loader or else try this step for 1-2 time again you will surely rebooted to bootloader

Once it boot to bootloader

click next button on OST, now the first time u may stuck on flashing splash file and ur phone could restarted

4. Follow all the same steps again

5. Start the tool again

The tool will surely give u error for Microsoft.net

Dont panic

Close it and replace the online update tool again

6. Remember no matter if u replace the file before error, it will give error for one time surely

7. Replace it again with online updating tool and the start it from the directory

8. Now Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is

PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 ( your one could be CNxxxx) file and put ur phone into bootloader

Same as above i told once to goto the bootloader by connecting phone and keep holding power button untin it get rebooted and release the power button just after the phone turns off and before it get rebooted.

9. Now it should be connected and click next this time your phone will get flashed successfully...if it give error again, then try one more time u will be successfully installed the mena firmware

I know its a long procedure but it will help you

If you can reboot to 9008 mod then tell me about that

I will give u another instructions for that

But first try the above method

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
For your kind information brother, u just bricked your phone.

Bro please follow the instructions that I provide u

Please follow it carefully
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
ok thank you but one question how can ost la recognize my phone if my pc can't do it properly (sorry if i'm maybe pissing you off but i need info i don't wanna mess up) ?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Look every step is written, your phone will be recognised once you start ost tool

When u start the tool the ost will ask you to browse the firmware file with .nb0 extension

Then it will ask you to connect the phone

Now connect your phone

Then keep holding volume down and power button together, once your phone get turned off then it will show u that its been booted into bootloader or download mode, click next on ost tool and it will start flashing your device

Thats all

hey man ! i'm pretty happy because the situation is clearly better now, my phone discharged today and i putted it in charge the charging logo was here, i tried to power it on but it always boots on twrp recovery what should i do
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
man i just discovered that in twrp's file manager the /system folder only contains a "bin" file, everything in the /system file has been erased, i suppose i only have to get a fresh system file ? and i found out that my phone is recognizing the pc normally now ! :D so where can i find this fresh system file ?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Thats much better now

In twrp you can goto to power option and select download mode or bootloader

Thats all

With download mode you can simply flash your phone using OST tool

Hit thanks button if you find this helpful

Happy flashing:o
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
yes but what i'm supposed to flash ?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
i just have to get this system file and to replace it
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
The firmware, you can not put system files through twrp, you must have to flash the firmware
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
it will not overwrite the files that are already on my phone ?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Yes it will but your user data wont be deleted

And you can apply update through OTA with stock recovery menu

And also you will get the oreo update if you do so

Hit thanks button if you find this helpful

Happy flashing:o
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Yakia:
hi, i can't flash or update anything because i rooted my phone and making update will brick my phone : "10.After your phone rooted, you can reboot your phone. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTA UPDATES OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK AT STOCK RECOVERY (However I've never tested Magisk on Nokia 6), but I’ll recommend you to disable automatic update in settings."
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] sltushar:
Man are you listening or what...

M again telling you follow all steps care fully

When OST tool will ask you to connect your phone then goto recovery mode in your phone and select power option and then select bootloader

When it will be booted to download mode connect your phone to pc and then select next button on OST tool into your pc

Flashing your phone will unroot your phone

Thats all it will start flashing and then you can install all the OTA with stock recovery

If you stuck on any step follow the steps for OST tool that i provided you earlier in this thread

And for OTA you can goto this thread https://xdaforums.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-oreo-follow-steps-t3723776

hi all

i have samsung ATIV smart pc pro 700t (model: XE700T1C-H01SAS/N) , i was trying to install fresh copy of windows 10 so i deleted the system reserved partition and created a new one while installing the new windows .... after a while i wanted to rollback to windows 8 using the samsung recovery but its always giving error and doesnt work

i tried:

-Samsung recovery using F4 to enter recovery but i get "reAgentc.exe - Application error" Code "0xc0000279"

-under windows Samsung recovery software is blocked by windows 10

-Installing new windows 8.1 pro or single language or windows 10 which i downloaded from Microsoft site but i cant pass the Serial number to start the install and the serial i got by keyfinder is not working

-exporting recovery image on flash drive fails at 65%

-exporting recovery image on other HDD partition - succeeded but dont know how to reinstall the windows and fix the recovery issue using the install.wim file

so is there a way to fix this issue and fix the recovery error?!!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Title says it all - I want a more customizable lockscreen, but don't want to lose the ambient display feature; especially the part where it shows notifications without waking the entire screen.

Also, most 3rd party lockscreens apps require me to disable the stock unlock method, which also disables Android Pay. Any way around this?
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Who has had to do a replacement? Samsung is telling me that I have to send in my $350 watch and wait for a couple weeks (at best) for them to fix it and send it back. Has anyone that's done this had a similar experience? Can I get them to send a replacement and me send this one back? To me, this is completely unacceptable. I've never had to send back an expensive piece of tech and wait for them to fix THEIR problem.
[Samsung Gear S3] MrKeh:
Nope that's not how it generally works. I've had several electronic items repaired under warranty before from different companies and they always require you to send it in for repair. They will then repair it and send back the original item instead of a new one. The only time complete replacement no questions asked happens is when the store you bought it from agrees to replace it and deals with the OEM themselves afterwards.
[Samsung Gear S3] raghu102:
I had battery issues on my bluetooth Gear S3 Frontier (India) & had to take it to the service center where they basically replaced the battery & then the motherboard to fix the issue. I kinda ended up with a new watch in the same old body. The whole process took 31 days. No problems since except still waiting for Tizen 3.0 update.
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Boo... Yeah, I guess the only devices I have had mess up on me are phones, and whatever carrier I had at that time just sends a new/refurbished one. Good to know.

Sending mine in tomorrow... Tizen 3 started causing overheats and it won't fully charge either. I bought an LG Watch Sport to test in the meantime ;) . Might be time to say bye to Sammy watches. If I can stay away from this beautiful watch and its UI.
[Samsung Gear S3] rammitt:
Warranty Replacement

Someone asked if anyone had done a warranty replacement. I actually did mine today. For those that have followed my posts, my S3 Frontier watch did a Tizen 3 update which completely screwed my Bluetooth and Wireless which rendered the watch useless with a phone as it could not connect. Having phoned Samsung Customer Services, they were very prompt. They arranged to pick my watch up today, and the provided all the packaging. All I had to do was hand the watch to the UPS rep. They had a fancy box which protects the watch.....gave me a receipt, and told me I would have it back next week. I am impressed so far by their customer service. I will let you know how long it takes before I get it back.
[Samsung Gear S3] maddie01:
Curious, did you buy this from Samsung, Verizon, AT&T or Best Buy??etc..
[Samsung Gear S3] jwrlaw:
I had the exact same repair. Too bad Samsung just doesn't take responsibility and notify all users of the widespread problems and offer the repair/replacement.
[Samsung Gear S3] rammitt:
Warranty Replacement for Gear S3 Frontier

It does NOT matter where you bought your watch at all. The S3 has 2 years manufacturers warranty on it, which covers ALL OTA updates, as they are responsible for the updates.
[Samsung Gear S3] maddie01:
Thanks for this information as I was not aware that it worked that way... I always try and buy direct from SAMSUNG but in this case I purchased from Verizon as they had one in stock.

Take Care
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
I'm still not happy with Samsung for pushing out updates (and not pulling them) that are having ill effect on people's watches. However, I have to say, they really tried hard to redeem themselves with my watch repair. I read on here somewhere that some people's watches were taking weeks to get fixed and sent back. Mine was back in my hands in 5 days. AND, they replaced the entire case except for the bottom plate for some reason. Which means I have a brand new looking watch. And I had a few scratches on it too, a couple bad ones even. I'm seriously very happy right now. I even bought an LG watch sport that was probably going to replace my frontier, and it's going back. At least Sammy is trying here.
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
My BT Frontier went into a reboot/freeze loop on January 5. I called the warranty department and received a ticket # on the 7th. Shipped back on the 8th. Received notification that Samsung received it on the 10th (which stated I should have it back in 5 business days). Received another notification on the 10th stating that my repair was on "temporary hold due to an unavailable part". I have not received any further updates since then. I sent an email yesterday inquiring as to status, since I hadn't heard anything in 8 days regarding a repair that was originally scheduled for five days. No answer on that yet. I guess I'll call today. So far I've been without a $350 watch for almost two weeks and have no idea when I'll get it back.
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Well, after 3 successful nights in a row of charging without a problem, nor any overheats, it's doing it again... Real effing nice... I'm going to try the shutting it off before charging then seeing if it stops overheating like a couple people have reported. Otherwise, I guess I have to send it back again... All because of an update. Samsung needs to get it together!
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
** Update***

I called on Friday to ask about the status of my repair and was told that the repair was on hold because a replacement part was not available. So they offered me a full refund of the original purchase price (purchased through Samsung), which I accepted.

Seems odd but I guess it's easier for them to issue a refund check than to send a new Gear.
[Samsung Gear S3] maddie01:
Wow, I am shocked that they did not offer to replace the watch? Did you ask if that was an option? Maybe the Gear 4 is close and they do not have enough any additional inventory on the 3 ??
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
It seemed strange, but I didn't ask about a replacement because the refund seemed like a better option. I took the money and bought a brand-new one (instead of potentially getting a refurbished replacement unit) and I have a new purchase transaction so my warranty period starts over with the new one (a replacement would have still been subject to the original purchase warranty period). Win-win.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
How long did it take for you to get refunded and in what way were you refunded? My current status for my watch says Cancel and states refund for the last 3 or 4 days but I've received no communication from Samsung about anything at this point..
[Samsung Gear S3] maddie01:
Great point, you did the right thing!!
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Wow, that's awesome! I'm surprised too at that. I would think it would cost them less to send a refurbished/whatever unit. Hopefully they'll do something surprising for me too. My watch is still overheating and not fully charging after already sending it in to be fixed...
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
I had to call and ask. My repair status was still "on hold" pending a replacement part. When I called, they said I was approved for the refund because they didn't have a part available. Then they gave me a confirmation number and ended the call. I thought I would get an email after that, or something with further instructions or information. After a few hours of nothing, I called back, and was told that refunds are processed through a different department, and then they transferred my call to the separate department which sounded like it might be at a completely different call center. That person verified my address information, and verified that I was consenting to accept the refund. She then said it would be 7-10 days to process and deliver.

In all honesty, I don't actually have the refund check in hand yet but didn't want to wait another 7-10 days without a watch so I just went ahead and got one in anticipation of the money.

Hope that helps. Not sure if that was my experience just b/c I bought the original direct from Samsung or if that's their procedure for all refunds.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
Yea, I just called over and did the same thing. It seems like they weren't going to reach out to let you know you had to call and accept the refund before they would do anything. No phone call, no email.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
Curious,but what are you basing this on. I know quite a few people with S3's and not a one had problems. What you're seeing on XDA wouldn't be a good indicator and reading about people having problems doesn't count for a lot. Everytime there is a major hardware update there are problems no matter if it's a phone, tablet, computer, TV, etc. If 1% of people are having problems do you stop it for 99%? We don't have a clue as to the percentage of people having problems. Granted the battery usage problem on the first update was pretty wide but even that didn't affect everyone.
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Maybe it's a good indicator, maybe it's not. The fact that a TON of people on here are having issues left me to believe that it is a somewhat widespread issue. Whereas the forum for my current phone, as well as previous ones, I've seen an update roll out and a couple people post having issues.
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Looks like I get to send mine in again... They won't budge on sending me a replacement even though they already 'fixed' it and it's still having problems... They said once it's evaluated, they *may* replace it instead of fixing it over and over. God this makes me so happy... Grrr.

They told me that they replaced the touchscreen and nothing else the last time. I'm sure this *can* cause overheats or battery issues, but, I would think that overheating while charging, and not fully charging would mean the battery. At least it would to me. Bah, whatever. This is the last time. If it's not fixed I'm done with Samsung watches. I'm not going to keep doing this.
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Sent it in, still waiting. I have to say, Samsung support is probably the most unhelpful support I've had to deal with. I'm in IT, so, that says a lot. I just want to know what the hell is going on. And their repair self-track web page has been down too. If there were an AW watch that didn't have some deal-breaker (every one I've checked out does :( ), I would just switch.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
Has anyone got their refund yet. I was told 7-13 business days, and that has come and gone. I contacted Samsung via chat and they said they would escalate the issue.
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
I have not gotten mine yet. I was told the same timeframe, and it's also passed long ago. I'm going to call today.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sparkz914:
So I just called Samsung about 30 mins ago and while talking to them and going through the emails I've received from them throughout the process I realized I had like 3 different Ticket Numbers and one being for a tablet that I don't even own. So in sorting all of that out I was told I should've received my refund already but for some reason the refund hasn't been authorized and is just sitting there, so it was escalated again and a supervisor is looking into it and I will receive a call tomorrow from the case manager I was talking to about the situation.

Terrible customer service on Samsung's part, but hopefully I get my money soon and a free Galaxy S9+ for their screw ups lol
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Dude, Samsung support is terrible! I was told that since my watch was in for repair twice within 30 days, it counts as one. Sooo, instead of getting a replacement (I guess 2 is the magic number?), I have to send it in again... Seriously. It is the biggest crock of sheet I have heard yet. I was also told I would be getting a replacement charger last week, no charger, no email, no one can tell me anything about it. Sammy sucks. I'm honestly so disappointed I don't know if I can buy anything from them again. I WISH they would just refund my money. I would go find something else...

Anyway, hope yours gets figured out.
[Samsung Gear S3] dcAndroidFan:
Updated (Again)

I called the warranty support department again today after receiving an email that "a compensation request had been submitted on my behalf". As of today, it's been a full month since my refund was "authorized" and almost a month and a half since I sent in my watch.

The "executive manager" that I was transferred to told me that the time delay was how long it took for the department that "authorized" my refund to send it to the department that would "process" my refund, and now that the processing department had it, it could take another 7-10 days (but typically didn't). I asked why it took a full month to make it from the "authorizing" department to the "processing" department and he said that it's a new system and they're still working out the issues.

Clearly a terrible system, not much else to say. Hopefully he was telling the truth, but I have no real confidence since the original warranty department and the refund "authorizing" department also both told me 7-10 days total time, and that was a month and a half ago.
