[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacto7:
Are you trying to use ES to install the 1.9 ver??? Use TC to do the install. I do think the problem is ES & that it kept some junk in ES somewhere.

I installed the 1.9 & the video player & codec using TC. After a day I uninstalled the codec, then the player then the 1.9. No sign of 1.9 Did not check with ES as I've uninstalled ES since it is a piece of junk. As i have stated, ES won't let me delete a lan server or edit it; this leads me to believe that your 1.7 is still only in ES's stuff but not exist as far as the system/Fire TV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezyonme:
Got it

So I uninstalled ES again. Downloaded the file from FIREDL and ran the installer still would not load.

Ran the file From TC still would not load.

Used App2Fire program and found an empty folder on the SD card called Terrarium. I deleted that and then ran the .APK file again and BAMM good to go. Thanks for all the help and advice.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] freddyoprea:
Hello,

Since this morning, (a usual one - no updates, no actions other then the daily communications) my g955n behaves strangely in that that all ongoing calls are interrupted by incoming calls. My phone is stock with latest firmware (upgrade on Dec. 26th to AQL3 - this is latest for g955n). There is no choice of ”call waiting” in more settings for the phone app so I cannot try that option. Any idea how to fix this annoying situation ?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Never heard of the issue. Good luck in finding a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] freddyoprea:
Thanks. Will inform if there is a solution.

Just found a ”temporary” workaround in that that at least ongoing calls are not interrupted - disabling call waiting (which seems to be default on this variant of S8+) with code #43# and SEND. Still, I would very much like to find a solution to a working call waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] simonaka:
Any update to this issue? Having the same problem - Samsung J5. I do not understand the temporary solution. What does "disabling call waiting with code #43# and SEND" mean?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CJ-Wylde:
I have been finding myself only using Magisk for EmojiOne, but noticing I don't use Emoji like I used to anymore and am thinking since I only use Substratum with a Center Clock mod and have stopped using it for Dark theming, maybe going back to a stock based setup would be fine. I can use the Andromeda thing with Substratum which is an extra step but can do my center clock and possibly emoji one via substratum... not sure what else I would want root for... Updating is a touch of a pain for me. What do yo guys think, and have any of you gone back to stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pilotgav:
I went back to stock just because I didn't want to have the uncertainty of being rooted.

Nothing wrong with rooting but I love this phone the way it is.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kdkinc:
For myself Rooting was a necessity. The devices sold in the past had so much Crapware.

It was nice to get the latest and greatest ROM and tweak the device to run faster because at that time they were just plain old slow.

Today, depending on where you bought a device devices are very fast. It seems to me that every ROM has an issue that influences the character of the device.

If your device comes from a carrier such as Verizon you should Root it to get rid of their crapware.

It seems their attitude is you only have the right to buy their device not the ability to control, I mean really you think you own it or something? ( yes I'm a VZW hater)

What was the question?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CJ-Wylde:
Lol, I agree 100%. I can simply disable gMail and Calculator, the only 2 APPs pre-installed on my Pixel 2 XL that I don't need. I use Inbox by Google for eMails and a Calculator Widget for that. Aside from the EmojiOne and CenterClock, I don't even dark-theme anymore, especially not on this device with the "black crush" all the OLEDs have an issue with. I was rooted fro KCal, but am finding the Boosted setting works just fine and oddly my Blue Tint has weakened since my first few days where it was really bad. Almost like the display is wearing in and getting better? It's still there, but just not as much as that first fresh opening, so warming up the display isn't needed much for me now either.

I like to see where people's heads are at with each device, and this is one the extra input is nice to read.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] knightsh:
I'm actually on the fence about rooting. Just received my phone this weekend and I can't decide. Going to unlock bootloader before fully setting up, but I have been playing with it a little. I've always rooted and ran custom ROMs as well as adaway. With PureNexus on my N6 I stopped flashing for over a year except the occasional ROM update. I simply like Android in it's simplest form.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharkie405:
I will always root, no matter what. The only downside is like you said, having to mess with getting OTAs in an unnatural way. However, seeing as how I flash all factory images, I get them sooner than those waiting on an OTA to hit their phone. Plus once you have all the tools ready to go, it literally only takes a few minutes to flash an update.

I always root because I usually run stock. And while stock on a Pixel 2 XL is damn near close to perfection, it will never be what "I" consider perfect. Which means I have to mess with the /system files to get things "perfect." I've modded the stock launcher, which I couldn't do if I was rooted. I've switched out fonts. I've changed the navbar, status bar, and quick settings. And of course, there's always AdAway which requires root. Granted some of those things can be achieved with third party apps, but I'd rather get it done "internally" whenever possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pig Vomit:
I used to have it for years, then more and more companies (Google and banks) made their apps check for root, and I tired of the cat and mouse game with SuperSU and Magisk. So I unrooted over a year ago. Didn't miss it at all until yesterday, when I wanted to do something with Tasker that requires root. But what I wanted to do falls into the category of "it would be nice" as opposed to "I have/need to do this", so I remain unrooted. I haven't really missed it much.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndroidUser00110001:
I am stuck without root since I have the Verizon model which was given to me free from work so I cannot complain too much. I have always rooted and messed with ROMs. The only thing I would need root for with the 2 XL is ad blocking with Chrome. I am trying the Samsung browser and ABP which work pretty well together.

If I didn't have the noise cancellation mic issue on my 6P I think I would have given up root a long time ago...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] browniegirl:
I rotate between stock and rooted daily lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ruraltech:
I am sort of glad I found this thread. I'm not a XDA regular but I've been following root guides from here since my Razr Mazz HD. I chose the Pixel in part for the ease of getting root and for Project Fi. Now that I have the phone, I'm not sure I want to root. I've never had a phone with quick updates before. I LOVE AdAway, but is it really worth the tradeoff? AdGuard is just as good if you don't use your VPN slot but if you DO use a VPN and need it.... not rooting forces me to choose between PIA and AdGuard. But do I even need a VPN anymore with Project Fi? Probably... Firefox with uBlock works pretty well too but doesn't work on apps. Oh the decisions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
If you like it the way it is, then I'd just leave it. It's a great device on stock. However, having root, AdAway, TiBu, kernels, and mods, is a lot of fun as well. As long as you know adb and fastboot fairly well, rooting and flashing monthly updates is pretty easy :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
I was rooted from the get go!! :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ruraltech:
I'm going to try to live without root for a bit but already hating not having AdAway. I just know I won't keep up with updates if I have to do them. I sure wish AdAway didn't need root
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CJ-Wylde:
I'm not regretting going back to stock from rooted as the only things I no longer have is center clock and emojione, which I 'could' get using Andromeda / Substratum but heard you have to reconnect to the computer anytime you reboot the phone and decided that's just not worth it for me. I am interested in ad blocking if possible without Root for Chrome. Only Ads that get in my way are via "News" and articles I touch from the Google Feed. Sadly many lately are blatant click-bait, page-hopping crap and slideshows that I refuse to go past the first page on.

Edit: Well, just ran across something known as DNS66 and have that up and running without Root and sure enough, it's blocking Ads on everything, even in Chrome without issue.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WorldOfJohnboy:
First thing I did with my unlocked XL 2 was to unlock the bootloader. I then rooted once Magisk was available. I root so I can do pain-free full TiBu of my apps and for AdAway. Even though I have corporate email on my phone, the Magisk Hide bypasses their restrictions in the email app.

I'm actually kind of shocked we don't have more ROMs for this phone, though I'm not a Dev and don't know how complex it may be. If more Devs release custom ROMs, I'll be trying some out for sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] otonieru:
I never buy android phone unless it's bootloader-unlockable and root-able

Too many handicap applied without root.

I hate dns/vpn based adblock, it cluttering my status bar and notification. So, yes, i need root for adaway,

Google limit Tethering frequency option for my country (No 5Ghz) so, yes, i need root to enable it,

I like the ability to background play youtube, and see youtube without ads, so yes, i root my phone for that. Sure, no root option is available, but lot of problem with google account cant sign in, and this and that.

I like the ability to use Brevent, Edge Sense Plus, Greenify etc without the need of plugging my phone to PC and do adb command. So, yes, i rooted my phone for that.

The phone will never be 100% yours, unless you have total control over anything inside it :p

So,

There's no way am back to stock. Especially with xposed working so well right now.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] otonieru:
use iYTBP magisk module. It enable background playback (kinda like red, but without subscription)

or if you are xposed user, use YoutubeBackgroundPlayback module.

But iYTBP is better because it can override default resolution setting. Although, pixel 2 is already in the top of resolution standard, so HDR and anything is enabled from beginning. But for other phone, iYTBP is very useful

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohanSS:
Hi

I've been asked to reset the tablet so I went into settings - backup and restore and choose to factory reset, tablet rebooted and since then it keeps showing the "downloading do not turn off target". I tried already all buttons combinations and I can restart it but it goes back to the download screen and there is no way to turn it off. Unfortunately I didn't thought to enable USB debug or whatever in development options. Is there anything else I can do to get it back? Either custom or stock rom, I don't care. Thanks

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeokim:
1. Connect the tablet to your computer using a USB cable.

2. Grab the latest firmware from either Updato or SamMobile (you have to register in the latter website).

3. Download Odin from odindownload.com (make sure to press the white and blue lettered download box).

4. Once downloaded, extract and open Odin using administrator privileges (right-click the program file and click "Run as Administrator").

5. In the top left corner it should say "COM:(number)" if you successfully connected your tablet.

6. Extract your firmware file that you downloaded.

7. Click the AP button, and select the .img.tar file (I think).

8. Go to the "Options" tab in the mid-left hand corner, and tick "Auto Reboot" (skip if automatically enabled).

9. Click the "Start" button in Odin.

10. Wait for it to complete. Do not do anything at this point, including disconnecting your tablet, turning off your PC, closing Odin and etc.

11. Once your tablet is done downloading, it should reboot.

12. Once rebooted and on the setup screen, turn it off

13. Press the following buttons altogether at the same time: Volume Up+Home+Power

14. It should boot into the recovery. If not, turn off the device and press Volume Down+Home+Power.

15. Once in the recover, using the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select, press "factory reset" or "wipe" and then select "yes" and it will begin.

16. Once done with the wipe, reboot your device.

17. Voila! If I am wrong in something here, hopefully someone can correct it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] f2000sa:
Is there such a thing as CDMA unlocking? Samsung said that it is carrier-locked to Verizon. Verizon said they no longer lock phones. I could not get it activated on Sprint. They do not accept the IMEI.

Is there any way to make it working on Sprint? Please help. Got stuck with a phone that can not be used. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Verizon phones are all carrier unlocked. I'm using a Verizon Note 8 on T-Mobile right now.

Couple questions:

1. Have you double checked to make sure the IMEI is clean and clear? If its blacklisted on Verizon, it won't work on any US carrier.

2. Do you have a nano SIM from Sprint that's already activated?

3. Have you tried flashing either the unlocked firmwareor the Sprint firmware on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] f2000sa:
Thanks, Mr. Orange645

The phone was bought brand new a month ago from Best Buy , and used on Verizon for a month. Phone paid off and no contract. IMEI should be clean. I did a check on Ting with the IMEI , and it can be used for GSM.

I have two nano sims from Sprint, both activated and un-activated. The problem is that Sprint can not add the IMEI to their system. I called Samsung and gave the IMEI, and was told that it is carrier-locked to Verizon. I wonder whether there is way to do CDMA unlocking.

I did not try to flash unlocked ROM. I think that IMEI on sprint network is the first step.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
So you have a nano SIM that's already activated with Sprint? It's in a Sprint phone right now and has service?

If So, put the activated SIM in your Note 8 and see if you have service.

Sprint shouldn't have to activate your phone, just the Sim. That's how you can buy the Unlocked version from Samsung.com and stick your Sprint SIM in it and have service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] f2000sa:
Sprint uses CDMA, and have to add the IMEI to their system to make it work. Also tried the activated sim, with no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
There is no "CDMA unlocking," it's either carrier unlocked or it's not. And ALL Verizon LTE Devices are Carrier unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
Have you tried simply factory resetting the device first and then booting up for the first time with the activated Sprint sim in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Maybe try flashing Sprint firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] f2000sa:
IMEI is hard-coded. For CDMA, it must be added into Sprint systems. Unless GSM, only a SIM is necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Did Sprint not provide some sort of reason/explanation as to why they are unable to add the IMEI? If they can't do it, surely they can tell you why.

CDMA networks are finicky -- Sprint's in particular -- when it comes to bringing over other carrier devices (even ones with compatible hardware). Some good info in here:

https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhon...y-verizon-sprint-phone-on-a-different-network
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I believe someone is giving you false information. You should be able to place an activated SIM card into the phone and start using it. That's how the unlocked Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Note 8 all work. You buy them unlocked and use them on whichever carrier you want, including Sprint. That's how my Nexus 6 worked on Verizon, before I switched to T-Mobile. Verizon also uses CDMA, and they didn't have to add any IMEI into their system. You just put the activated SIM into the phone.

I could take a Verizon SIM and put it into my T-Mobile S8+ right now, and it would activate and get service.

But to answer your original question again, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CDMA UNLOCKING. The phone is either carrier unlocked, or its not. And the Verizon Note 8 is 100% carrier unlocked.

I beginning to suspect you bought a Note 8 with a bad IMEI, if you got it used.

EDIT: I MAY BE WRONG (don't tell my wife, she never hears me say that)

After doing some research on Reddit, it looks like others ran into the same issue as you. The unlocked version and the Sprint version will work, but none of the other carrier Note 8s are eligible for BYOD. Which is stupid, since they are all exactly the same hardware.

I'd try this:

Use ODIN to flash either the Unlocked 950U1 firmware, or the Sprint 950U firmware. Then place the Sprint SIM card in the phone to see if it activates upon start up. If it doesn't then you may be hosed. If that's the case, sign up for T-Mobile. LOL.
