Flashed COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU1AQK2 Factory binary from 2 sources along with HOME_CSC_OXM. No improvement. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
so your phone is soft bricked. Its less of an issue since you have access to:

-recovery

-dl mode

go to updato.com and grab about 3 different stock firmwares.

1-the oldest one compatible with your phone you can find. forget about your region just be sure its an early FW and its for N950F. f or ds dosent matter.

2-again same as above but try one from south America.

3- same as #1 but from france or north west europe region.

before flashing, enter recovery and wipe data and cashes.

after wipe dont let the phone boot, have it go straight to DL mode.

now use latest odin and flash the firmwares above. if one of the flashes fail in odin Check your cables and usb port if any of the firmware flashes get stuck or give errors. Be sure to flash all BL AP CP and CSC files. for csc I think HOME csc has the pit file so you might also want to try repartition/bootloader update option if nothing else works. Since your phone is probably out of warranty by now.( might want to check if you can simply get it fixed before trying anything of the above first)

edit:

i saw you said having used kies 3 to do the emergency recovery. Im not sure how that were possible. do you mean smartswitch? if you have not used it, then go dl it and do the recovery from smartswitch. I dont even think kies support the note 8.

And this file is flashed via odin til the end - with green PASS? Strange.

Hi mate, i know your feelings.

Ok, i just can tell about my issue. I was on a QK6 custom rom with a QKG bl/modem and fell back in jail So i had to flash stock but only the AP (QK6 bc QKG was at work :angel:) and CSC file. It booted up with the data of the custom rom and worked quite good. Except the gallery. So i decided to flash the QK6 bl/modem. The flash with odin crashed at the bootloader part. The phone booted without connections, no imei, no baseband...an exclusiv paperweight.

I tried a lot all a disaster. I searched for imei repair with the intencion to pay a lot of money but nothing. Even imei gurus said it's impossible for now to fix the imei for the note 8 with knox 0x1 by software.

Last thing i thought before i went crying to bed was the incomplet flash of the bootloader. So i downloaded over night the whole QKG package and flashed it in the morning.

AND all was fine again. I think the culprit is the Bootloader you can't downgrade from QKG. In the Iron Rom thread are the same issues after flashing the QK6 Bootloader with the rom over a QKG bootloader - all have lost there imei and baseband. They also fixed it than by flashing QKG BL (and modem).

This was my story and i hope it would help to fetch your problem.

I have same problem with your case, its made me sick 1 day but here is my success solution worked like charms !!

1. Download newest stock firmware via SAMFIRM ( for me i used XXVN code) extract it you will have AP and CSC using on this case

2. Download BL and CP via this link: (remove space before .com) You will have BL and CP

androidfilehost .com/?w=files&flid=244051

3. Open Odin chose BL, CP download from Androidfilehost. AP and CSC form stock firmware

Flash them and your Note will be back !! Reply me if u success !!

Ps: This case will upgrade ur blootloader to BRA2

And i heard that cant be rooted again, however my Note 8 is undead so im gonna sell it away better than bricked

Good luck from VietNam

any idea?

I am now at the same boat and I don't know what to do....I have no baseband or imei (just shows the serial number)

I tried different stock ROMs but always fails and give me different binary errors on the screen of the phone

When I normally enter into download mode it says sw rev b:5 k:3 s:3 ......That gives me an idea of what combination can I use but I don't know exactly how they are supposed to be interpreted

I hope somebody can help me on this issue

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 1999TL:
Is a soft reset required after I install one program? I know that on a windows computer, it is always recommended to reboot after every install just to be safe. I've always done this on my ppc too, but I was just reading user customization, and I started to think about how customization installs all the apps at one time. so apparently, i can install all my apps at one time and ill be fine if I dont go the UC route?

Thank you for picking up AOSP Extended... was missing this for a while.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
Yes that's why I did this. AEX is really battery friendly and stable. And I added MotoCamera too so will work for most people's needs.

AEX v5.1 soon.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] alexret:
What is the difference between this and the official one? This https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-7-1-2-aosp-extended-t3623824
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
It's not the official one. It's just a guy who saw a link. This build is just more updated and stable, also comes with MotoCamera.

Previously it was maintained by my friend FireLord

The ROM was last updated in September. He is busy with his exams. Moreover he has greater responsibilities for the AEX. From his permission I have acquired to maintain for MZP.

Though I'll have the official word soon!

Right now it's unofficial but no less because Aman helped me make this better!

Great rom I have it since September, try other but return to aex, impatient for aex 5 with android 8.1, will be 64 bits ??? Thanks
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam00561:
i do like this rom ive used the other developers version before also but on this one the camera keeps failing to start. I get error camera has stopped. I figured out that when flashing a different kernel like the lineage fixed kernel or valaryan kernel so that modules can be installed but it breaks the camera.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
I had been getting a lot of apps failing and crashing on this latest release earlier today, anyone having the same issues.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
Yes. It was hard putting Moto Camera in it and there is a build of 13/01 where it would keep crashing. It was fixed in the 14/01 build. Don't change the kernel, trust me the safety net is working already and battery is good! And it'd surely mess up the camera. I'll look in to the issue, though.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam0056:
But how can I install magisk modules without the fixed lineage kernel.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
Do a clean install. This would happen if you reflashed your system partition without wiping data. Just do a clean flash of the rom, gapps and whatever you need at once. And don't reflash the rom zip without wiping data. It corrupts the apps!
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
Thanks for the tip but I do, do I fresh clean install on every rom if now or an update. I never deal with a dirty flash, learned over the years can not trust a dirty flash in any manner.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
It will only break MotoCamera. The other camera app i.e SnapCamera will work fine.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
Yes I totally agree. I was testing the MotoCamera app so I was stuck in bootloop, I reflashed system without touching anything else. Rom booted but all the google apps broke. Even some other apps. Some would say No internet Connection some would just force close. Then I uninstalled and installed them again, they'd work fine! So I'd tell you the same thing, either try reinstalling them or just do a clean flash. It'd surely work!
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jess182:
Excuse me [MENTION=6409818]AmulyaX[/MENTION] is it normal to have 2 camera apps(moto & snap)? ( I expected to have only moto camera.........)

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam0056:
It breaks both cameras. In fact you can't install any camera at all after flashing lineage or any other kernel.

I don't like permissive selinux because with it is disabled most of the Android security . For me Viper is working as magisk module and I don't mind to turn it on always, when I'm going to listen a music.

With this fix you don't need to use custom kernel for magisk modules.

camera and flashlight still broken iff flash lineage kernel which is needed for magisk modules.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] XXigitXX:
I think lineage kernel is different from aosp build roms. So you should not flash any lineage modification to aosp based rom. But thats my opinion. Maybe others can clarify it.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam00561:
you are right i think but how can i get modules to install on this do you know any way please.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] XXigitXX:

Is this not working for modules?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam0056:
This doesn't work for install modules that work around is to peas safety net checks. The problem is not with safety net which passes fine. Magisk modules can't be installed because of some problem with kernel.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
No. Read the thread again! It's for loopback when you install modules!
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam0056:

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
Hey [MENTION=6575475]dado_13[/MENTION] could you help him with modules?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dado_13:
In recovery flash magisk zip and reboot to system, to load all it's files. Then reboot to recovery again and flash loopback zip. After that flash any modules as you wish, which aren't together bigger than 250 mb. Do not wipe cache/dalvik, because cache partition is used to link modules. Reboot and enjoy.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] alexret:
Updated from the unofficial version to the official one with wipe cache and dalvik, no problem. Great job
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam00561:
I followed the procedure precisely but modules still not working. I am on latest magisk iff thats any help.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dado_13:
That's wierd. Maybe latest magisk is problem, I haven't tested it on 15.3, because I am on stock November patch with f2fs patched kernel.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam00561:
Yes when i was on stock rom with nov patch i used another method which did the same thing as this module is supposed to do and it worked fine but in the case of this rom it doesnt seem to work.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dado_13:
Maybe try older magisk, like 15.2, because I remember this method has worked on custom rom (it was aokp).
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam00561:
Just tried with 15.2 magisk but still no good. I guess ill just have to wait for Oreo and hope it is fixed in that.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] VR25:
Since you had Magisk installed and running before trying the workaround, you must remove all instances of magisk.img and magisk_merge.img prior to installing the module. Use TWRP file manager to find those. The locations are root of /data and root of /data/adb directories.

If you started with a clean flash, then installed Magisk and this module afterwards, everything would've been set up. What causes issues are the pre-existing image files.

Hi, bro.

Can you explain about this " 3.1.1-0-EFS TWRP."?

Is there some trpw that did backup IMEI?

Thank you
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] KrisM22:
Certainly.

By choice, at the moment, I do not use a 3.2.x TWRP when flashing 7.x ROMs.

twrp-3.1.1-0-EFS-addison.img (google for d/l from AFH) is a fork of the TWRP tree that Dehumanized did on 6-27-17. It also happens to backup EFS if you so choose. (I do not encourage blindly RESTORING EFS however!!! - only keep it in a safe place for emergency) Don't remember if it also does IMEI.

Of course when I want to flash an 8.1 ROM I need to change to 3.2.1-0 TWRP.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AmulyaX:
Edit :Never mind.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] KrisM22:

Do magisk modules work on the rom yet are they installable
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] KrisM22:
Yes, I am running it (4.6) right this moment and I checked magisk and it says 15.3 so that means I flashed 1531 from TWRP (1530 is bad - don't use it) . I get both checkmarks. I run PoGo fine. root is fine. I also run nova launcher 5x5. Also, while I'm commenting on this ROM, HFP (hands free protocol) works fine). No probs that I know of. NICE!!! :D

It's the

Oreo

builds that magisk doesn't work on - in any form - root works, that's it. That's why 7.x is my daily! I like this one! :D

By the by, when you install it, flash rom, flash 7.1 gapps, boot to install. When you get to desktop, boot back to TWRP and flash 1531 magisk.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam0056:
Last time I used it when I changed kernel so I could install modules it broke the camera and flashlight.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] KrisM22:
Yeah I heard that, but I don't change kerns. I also don't install majisk modules. I often go so quickly from one to another that I just take it as it is...

I really like this rom, it's very well done but I have one issue - it seems impossible to tint the navigation bar icons. I'm using an Xposed module that tints the status and navbar, and while that works fine, its not possible to tint the actual buttons, so many times I wind up with white buttons on a white background. Is there any way to fix this?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam0056:
I've figured out now how to get magisk working properly without breaking anything. Just flash the loopback f2fs fix file after installing magisk and no problems modules install fine and safety net passes.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sam00561:
How can i disable the double screen lock on the screen before i could just swipe up to unlock but now you have to double tap the screen and then swipe up like on Oreo roms . I think this is unnecessary is there any way to disable it.
