[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LWH.31752:
So I just use the non AT&T Sim only as long as the unlocking process takes, eh? So that means I put my current Sim back in it? And if that's the case, will I be able to use my phone in areas with little or no AT&T coverage without having to swap out Sims?

Did I mention that this is my first time unlocking a phone? LoL
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
yea you have to Use another carrier sim to get the popup to come up to enter the unlock code. Then u can put att sim back in..

You will have to swap the sims to use each carrier......

I am in a the wonderful state of vermont now lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LWH.31752:
So if you have to swap Sims, I may as well buy the non AT&T Sim and use it for the unlocking process, as well, right?

Vermont, you say? Never been. I'll take your word that it's wonderful.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
You could yes as if u want AT@Ts network u have to use their sim and say if u want to use T Mobile You insert their sim

So yea if you say want to use theirs as if you dont have signal and plan on purchasing their "plan"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LWH.31752:
So, technically, if you use the non AT&T Sim you would have to pay to use their network? Wow, should have saw that coming. Lol Nothing is free. Well now I feel kind of stupid. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mixxxk:
u dont need a different SIM to test if is unlocked.

simply, open the dialer

dial: #7465625*638*#

enter the code u received thats specific to your device, then it should say unlock successful.

hope this helps ya.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LWH.31752:
It said unlock successful. Does that mean that it's permanently unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mixxxk:
yes. now, keep in mind, as this is the AT&T variant, its unlocked for GSM only .so if ur switching carriers, make sure it says GSM. Sim cards that use CDMA wont work like Verizon or Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LWH.31752:
Well, I can't switch carriers. Not sure I'd want to anyway. But other than being able to switch to any carrier (and have to pay to do so) is there no other benefits of unlocking a phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mixxxk:
Not really. It just allows other carriers to work. And it will have a higher resale value as it's not just tied to AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LWH.31752:
Oh ok. Thanks for the info. I can say I learned something, if nothing else. :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Well, it it's unlocked, able to use any other GSM networks now, functionally it is now a 'universal' phone, as most out of US carriers are GSM. That is one important need for me.

Are you flashing the proper factory image? Have you tried re downloading?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dattaway:
How do I tell which is the proper factory image? There are 15 listed for the Pixel 2. Since I bought my two Pixel phones directly from Google, there appears to be 5 that might work, so I tried each one with identical results. SHA-256 Checksums match.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] enzyne:
I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any data corruption. The most recent one which was .19 should do the trick if that's not working and you've tried everything else it may be time to do an RMA.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rookx:
Sorry to piggyback on a thread, but I seem to be having the same problem (I think). All I did was update Magisk to 16.0, then reboot my phone now I'm stuck in bootloader, none of the options do anything except make the screen go black for a minute then go back to the bootloader screen (assuming the bootloader screen is the one with the Android laying on it's back).

Is the main fix to re-flash a google factory image? OP said something about bad abd files, but I haven't even tried to push anything with adb since I rooted my phone last month. Or should i use the fix bootloop script in the other thread?

What your talking about is the android stock recovery not the bootloader.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iceek1:
So i got this tablet just about a year ago and i love

it.....

Except its performance

I have rooted it and flipped it back and forth from android 6 to 7 a few times just yesterday i put it to 7 so i could have a clean and lag free start

I was wrong. I want to be able to play a game like rules of survival or pubgmobile and record it for youtube (that being the MAIN reason i bought this tablet) but it lags intensively lag spikes that can last for 5 seconds or more and that is not good obviously

So what im asking is.

Do any of you know a way to remedy this? i am able to flash roms like lineage and root my tab

But i want your guys opinion on what i should do

If you can thats great!

Thx-justice

Downgrade to 5.2 relase like me
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-m-x:
Agreed on that, seems to be the only solution. Did that myself a few Days ago and its a huge difference, this thing is usable again.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iceek1:
Downgrading to 5.2 is that one marshmellow?

Do you get any lag spikes and are you able to record?

I may try that

But i also want to flash lineage 14.1

And change my filesystem to f2fs and flash a kernel
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-m-x:
No, 5.2 is one version before the current, it's Nougat. However with sec patches from April without the KRACK fix, but I don't really care to be honest. Haven't tried recording, sorry, never needed it.

You can also try lineage of course, should be the same result. I just like to stay on a Nvidia Rom to have everything working.

How did you play ROS on your tablet? Mine is unplayable.

Am on AOSP rom made by bitO

With also the same settings you have like the f2fs.

I am on aosp extended, f2fs, bit k10 kernel,

And a kernel auditer and battery optimization off

I did all this through fpozars guide (its in shield tsblet general)

And all my lag is gone even while recording

But i will downolad ros and let you know of its playable or not.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hyena97:
Hi all, i own a Samsung S8+, model G955FD. I was following the steps on "https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-android-oreo-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s8-s8-exynos/" to get Oreo on my device, but i encountered the problem User besnik_limani encountered as seen in the comments. To sum it up, after installing the first AQL5 to ZRA5.zip file, the phone keeps restarting when I try to get it to Update from ADB. So now I am stuck with a phone that is running Oreo beta 6 (I think it is?).

Anyone knows a fix to get my ADB back up again so i can update the 2nd ZIP file?

Also, while running on this version, would i still get OTA software updates?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dazed1:
Same problem here, whenever i press aply udate from adb, i get mini restart, and the phone is back into recovery, while the erros in the recovery itself are

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xxxrichievxxx:
I was getting the restart as soon as I selected apply update via ADB. To solve this I set up the phone and dragged the zip to the SD card and flashed it in stock.

Be warned though, the bootloader becomes locked on some for about 7 days. You won't be able to flash a custom recovery nor root. I made the mistake now I have to wait.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsharpshooter:
Hi all,

I have a fire tv box gen 2 rooted running 5.0.5.1. I have had this box for a year now and all the ota block methods are in place and working well. Recently I noticed that bluetooth won't pick up any discoverable bluetooth devices anymore! I have tried turning off the box, restarting the box, and just about every method.

Yesterday it was showing the discovered devices and the ones already connected previously but wouldnt connect to them. I should also point out that i tried installing usb/bt joystick center apk for controller mapping and the first time I accidentally didnt give it root access then second time I reinstalled and gave it root access but told me it couldnt find /dev folder through root so i just uninstalled it and ever since then nothing has been working through bluetooth except the official Amazon remote. The led light in front of the box wont even pulse when trying to discover a new device.

So any thoughts on how to resolve this issue? Has anyone had this problem before? I might try restoring the device to factory default settings when i get the chance and see if things just start magically working again. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gsharp
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsharpshooter:
EDIT: GOT IT TO WORK AGAIN!!!! Hey everyone so I tried everything from updating to the latest update to rebooting to clearing cache in TWRP and nothing helped. I have read that other people got it working again by restoring to factory settings oddly enough. So I did that but through TWRP by clicking wiping dalvik cache, clear cache, clear data, and clearing system and installing a pre-rooted rom (the latest version) and it started working again! Not sure if a file or something caused bluetooth to corrupt or not work but the Conclusion is if you are not rooted then you will have to reset to factory default settings in SETTINGS > DEVICE > RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS and if rooted just do what I mentioned above! You will have to restore all your apps/jailbroken apps again since you are factory resetting :( but worth it in my opinion since I love using headphones, bluetooth keyboard/mouse, and game controllers and rely on it heavily! Anyway's hope this helps someone who comes across this thread and is having the same issues!!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StupidLogin:
Well done, I am rooted, suggested warnings, etc

Thanks for the root, man. EXACTLY as described, fingerprint sensor is working, very happy in general. :)

There is an issue that I think needs to be mentioned, as I was completely unaware this was a thing -- when I rooted my phone, I was kicked out of Samsung Pay (an app I really, really liked & used often). The convenience of NFC, wireless payment is permanently lost to me, if users online are to be believed...an e-fuse has tripped in Knox, showing my phone as rooted ("INSECURE", OOOOH NOOOO!!!). Some users have reported removing root & going back to stock, and despite people saying Samsung Pay shouldn't work...sometimes it does.

I don't know what to believe. But I value root over Samsung Pay. I'm going to petition Samsung to enable Samsung Pay (and other Samsung Services) on rooted devices. Because it's ridiculous that they disable it. Please warn people they'll permanently lose Samsung services when rooted. If you're itching for another challenge, you could maybe be so kind as to fool Samsung Pay into working?...find a way to erase or spoof Knox history?...I'd be in your debt. I don't expect you to try it, and even if you did I hardly expect you to succeed. But you rooted me, so I guess anything's possible! :laugh:

Also, your ROM wasn't going to install despite using a USB 2.0 port. That wasn't enough. My USB 3.0 USB-C CABLE was preventing the install. Hooking my USB-C cable up to a USB 2.0 extension cable, then into a USB 2.0 port on the PC, fixed the issue & allowed install. Obviously this would be a nice issue to fix as well, but I'm more concerned about Samsung Pay not working.

It's all good, though. In the meantime & for the rest of time with my phone if absolutely necessary, I am very very very happy to have root privileges & I do not want you to think I am ungrateful. Thank you so much. Also thanks for disabling Bixby & replacing it as a hardwired Gmail app button, VERY nice & classy touch. I was so pleased when I pressed that button & it brought up my email. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] boccaccioe:
Yeah that happened to me too just go into recovery manually and do a factory reset yourself and you should be good. If you don't know how to get to recovery there's a guide in the OP.

Edit: Just realized you may still be using the deodexed V2 AP file which I don't think anyone has gotten working yet. If you're not using it already, make sure to use this odexed one: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569958958
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] StupidLogin:
Yep, alright, it doesn't pass the safety net. Apologies. I come from a simpler time & simpler devices, the S3 & the OnePlus One. I understand it doesn't work now, but hell, up until last week I thought root was impossible. So I'm feeling optimistic that one day this safety net could be bypassed somehow. :)

I'm going to post little things I notice as I explore this ROM...I tried to encrypt my device, but I'm unable because of the 80% battery feature. I downloaded the Battery Charge Limit app in a bid to hand over more customized control to it.

Currently, the 80% programming still has control. Is there any way to remove, disable, or override it so it charges & holds at 100%? I cannot encrypt until then.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] boccaccioe:
If you are looking for a way to get a company/University email working, you can fake encryption using an app called Firefds kit by checking "bypass exchange security" or by using the standalone Xposed app called "Bypass exchange policies." I don't think there's a way to get real encryption working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
No.

What does 80% have to do with encryption? Im pretty sure the factory boot just simply doesnt support encryption. As an arbitrary link between ability to charge to 100% and enabling disk encryption is completely nonsensical.

Ps do please search at least the thread, but preferably xda in general before posting questions or conclusions. A lot of stuff has been figured out and is very well documented (for example, the battery thing has been asked and answered probably at least a hundred times) for the s8 and s8+.

Mine won't be here until next week. But I'm just now seeing that the s8 line has been known for reboot issues and a few other concerning defects.

$10 to OP and anyone who can help me with this.

Hello,

I had to install "BL part 2" first in order for "AP part 1" to work.

BL-Part-2 installed correctly (Odin says PASS), and then Part 1 installed correctly (phone said "Unknow Error").

After installing Part 2 first, and then part 1, I installed part 2 again.

However, it now goes into a bootloop. I cannot access recovery mode (following the directions from the original post), and it seems like its corrupted/not there.

These are the bootloop errors I get on the phone:

https://ibb.co/cr1D77

No Support SINGLE-SKU

Supported API: 3

# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale

I have tried both the deodex and odex versions of V2 AP-Part-1's.

I even tried V1, and while AP-Part-1 installed correctly, the BL-Part-2 gave me a "SECURE CHECK FAIL :apnhlos" in Odin.

Also, I tried to install the Combination firmware before all of this, which failed to install. However, it looks like it's persistent, since the build version lists FA70_G892AUCU2ARA1. That can't be good? Or maybe this is based on that build, as read in another thread.

Here's my phone's info:
