IMEI doesn't need to be backed up, because you're flashing a stock ROM. Very very slim chances that you'll lose your IMEI.

CSC will be transferred over and remain as ZTO since that is part of the OXM multi-CSC.

Yes you can flash up from AQL5 to CRB7.

Hi,

sorry if I maybe overread it somewhere, but is it possible to go from AQK7 to CRB7 with HOME_CSC, so no data is lost?

Also I'm on ATO CSC and would flash DBT, is there anything I have to watch out for and am I going to have a ATO or DBT CSC? I didn't get it really because there was something written with multiCSC, so not sure what is going to be, and don't want to loose warranty.

Thank you!

So I deside to install again but now new Oreo with Mirror Link 1 (wipe).

1. So I need Odin and just flash normal this room?

2. Please, will this fix my phone and back to 64g from 16gb?

3. Will I get in future normal update for this phone after install a new update (OTA update)?

4. Will my Samsung Helth and Samsung Pass work or I need to do something else?

Thx so much for your answers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ltcdata:
Maybe they are OK and the fix only applies to android system.

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

I did exactly that (mine is 950FD from nigeria, bought in UK, ECT csc, stuck on november patch AQK7 nougat).

Firmwares for 950F are for 950FD too.

Check that you have an OXM firmware, you can check this list:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/s8-s8-variants-list-break-oxm-csc-t3611137

Flash with HOME_CSC and you will retain everything (CSC, data, etc). Dont forget to clear cache after 1st boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
1) Yes.

2) If you choose to do a factory reset. Yes it will go back to 64 GB.

3) Yes you will, provided that your current CSC is part of OXM.

4) This does not trip KNOX so yes all Samsung Knox related features will work.

Samsung only made changes to Android System and not the modem or CSC file.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StackOverflow13:
Now your on latest. You will never get samsung pay to work now, because you rooted your phone (had twrp) so knox is tripped. Health will work though. Google pay will also work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
No, because regardless of being rooted in the past, and not rooted now, you can't use Samsung Knox features since you have tripped the KNOX warranty counter to 0x1 and there is NO WAY you can revert this to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] isko01:
Thx you so much :) too bad that when you root phone that you kill KNOX. But I didnt now that. In feauture I wont root it again. So if in near future Samsung get new update I will get OTA? :)

Okay. So I'm on G955FD (CRAP) OXM XSG

I updated from AQL5 to ZRA5 to CRAP ( via stock recovery ) and now i want to update to CRB7 and

I was wondering (since i want to do no wipe bcz i updated from nougat to oreo without factory reset and everything running flawlessly + i have too much data to copy and setup ) if i do home csc thingy will i have a problem or not

Like that showing 16gb as storage and stuff

Or does someone have update.zip from CRAP to CRB7 to flash via stock recovery

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idebutterpiep:
I think this is only for G950F, G950FD, Samsung S8. I think yours is Smasung S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
You can update with HOME_CSC but there is a chance that the 16 GB glitch happens.

CRB8 is being tested for XSG. Wait for it to be released as an OTA soon.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
There's your issue bro.

I also bought an S8+ (G955F) from OLX and the seller said it's from UK.

After flashing generic stock ROM, I had the exact same issue as you.

The phone is a store demo unit and Samsung has blacklisted the IMEIs and locked these phones deliberately so that they can not be sold by store employees.

I had to sell my S8+ at a huge loss due to this because the phone was basically useless.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] MarioK15:
Hello everybody!

Recently i bought one Motorola Photon Q and I found one weird problem with my Photon Q.

I cannot regulate the screen's backlight. When it is on 100% it is very bright, but anything below this point (in example 99% or 50%) it goes very dimmed. So, basically I have two levels of backlight. Minimum and maximum. Nothing in the middle.

I tried to regulate it from the recovery mode, but issue stays the same.

Phone already had TWRP and CM 13.

Any ideas what can I do about it?

Regards.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Wow you joined in September 2008 and this is your first post?

Congrats!!

As for the issue, it almost sounds hardware related. Like someone swapped the proximity sensor for the ambient light sensor... If the issue persists in recovery, I'm not sure flashing stock would do you any favors (not that you would want stock, it would just rule out any low-level software issues if you flash thru RSD Lite).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] MarioK15:
Yes yes, I know. There was nothing I could give from my side. Just usual user.

Changing the sensor? But does it have anything in common, while backlight sensivity is chosen manually?

I'll try to flash it by RSD lite.

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Honestly was just firing off the hip based on you description - it sounds hardware related not software, especially since it persists in recovery...

To rule out software entirely, RSD Lite is the best way IMHO. Good luck.

Assuming it is a hardware issue... I'm not sure replacing that sensor is worth the effort. I guess it depends on your desire (and ability) to get this old PQ working properly :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] MarioK15:
It might be the hardware problem. I installed some application to check sensors, and it does not detect proximity sensor.

I was wondering about dismounting this sensor, but probably it would not help at all.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] William1020000:
I haven't done manual rooting for about 2 years as my last phone (Xperia XA) was completely locked down.

Before I root my G5S Plus (RetGB software channel, October security patch) I'd to make sure I can easily restore completely to stock, remove root and be able to receive OTA's.

Are there separate firmwares for the different software channels? The unroot / restore stock guides on here seem to only link one firmware. Also, what else will I need to be able to restore to stock? Does flashing the stock firmware unroot? Is locking the bootloader a separate process?

Thanks!

[Samsung Gear VR] Kamau54:
I have a Note 8, running 7.1.

When I use my controller (the one that came with the VR), it doesn't point unless I'm holding it upside down, and to the left.

How do I recalibrate it so that its orientation is correct?
[Samsung Gear VR] GeekyGuy:
When you can see the pointer on the screen, press and hold the Home button on the controller. The circle will fill clockwise and should point in the right direction.

If this doesn't work, you could unpair it in your Bluetooth settings, then re-pair.

And if all else fails, you could reset it by removing the batteries then putting them back in
[Device Reviews and Information] eagleeyetom:
In the era of big and powerful smartphones, many manufacturers decide to ditch the mini jack and either offer a connector or rely solely on Bluetooth connectivity. If you are looking for the latter, you should take Tribit headphones into consideration.

Look and feel

Right after unpacking, you have a feeling that these headphones are a quality product. They have an unusual design, aluminum parts and magnetic earbuds, which looks pretty gimmicky, but in fact, is a great idea. You’ll get used to wearing a “nerdy necklace” in no time. You can also keep the headphones in a fashionable bag included in the box. The box contains various sizes of the buds and two clips to hold the cable together.

In overall, Tribit XFree Color looks great, and you have a feeling that you are using a premium model, not the cheap plastic toy, like some of the available headphones on the market.

Rate: 4.5/5.

Connectivity

Tribit XFree Color are using Bluetooth to connect with sound sources. The pairing process is fast and easy. Just hold down the big red button in the middle, and you’re set. I took these headphones for a walk, and I noticed random signal drops when I kept my phone in the pocket of my jeans. This might be related to some other objects that I held in my jacket, but if you are planning to have a super-clear sound, keep the phone in your coat. I hadn’t noticed any signal drops when my device was a bit closer to the headphones.

These headphones are compatible with most Android and iPhone devices. I haven’t tried them paired with a Bluetooth adapter, but I assume it should work fine.

Rate: 4/5

Battery life

On its Amazon page, Tribit says that its headphones last up to 10 hours of play. Honestly, I didn’t drain up the battery for such a long time, but I managed to get like 8 hours of mixed usage before plugging them into the charger. The standard charger needs about 1.5h to put the juice back. It’s a good result so that I won’t be picky about it.

Rate: 5/5

Water resistance

I’m not a fan of washing myself with my headphones on, but for the sake of testing, I splashed some water on the headphones. The IPX5 water resistance did the trick, and my headphones were completely fine. You should not swim with them though, as these headphones are not designed to survive a full water coverage. Who listens to the music underwater, anyway?

Rate: 4.5/5

To wrap things up. Tribit XFree Color are really good headphones that don’t cost a lot of money. You can get yourself a pair of these headphones from Amazon. When I was writing this review, they were unavailable to buy, but after re-stocking, they should cost about 30 bucks.

I have BA with Xplode's WM6 ROM installed and i have installed HTC Home plugin some weeks ago i found something strange: whenever i sync (i use calendar sync) it changes from vibrate (my default "ring") to sound on.

Also when a calendar reminder appears, it does not vibrate as i have select it but rather plays a sound.

I've never noticed this problem before installing HTC Home.

I've searched and found this threads with similar problems, sometimes the oposite, changing from ring to vibrate, whenever changing something on calendar, but with other phones:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] myrandex:
I'm experiencing the exact same problem, but I cannot find a solution. I posted it in the ROMeOS forum for the Kaiser and no one had any ideas there. I didn't have this problem with stock. It is 100% reproducible on my device. I leave mine on vibrate 24 hours a day all of the time, however I started noticing (after flashing) that many times my phone would adjust to ring from vibrate. I realized if I ever changed appointment settings (even if I open an appointment, change the time, change it back, and hit ok), it will automatically change from vib to ring. My phone still vibrates whenever there are events coming up, but so far my phone hasn't gone off in any meetings yet :-/

It happens to me sometimes that creating a new appointment won't change vibrate/ring settings, but shifting an appointment will.

But that doesn't always happens, oddly.

What happens all the time is that when synchronizing with Outlook calendar, it will always switch to ring.
