[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Black screen with red triangle is the stock recovery. So that is expected. Hold vol up, and press and release power button, to show the stock recovery menu options.

That message is expected when trying to flash custom recovery with a locked bootloader. TWRP is only going to flash if the bootloader is unlocked.

Since you are s-off, you can also try the following method to unlock the bootloader: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571

However, I agree with the previous reply, given the random bugs and behavior, it is best to RUU to a full stock factory image. RUU will wipe the phone, but it sounds like you are trying to wipe user data, anyway. You have the Sprint version M8, and the correct RUUs are here (do not try RUU for any other M8 version! permanent damage is possible):

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

You can try any of the RUUs there. But note that if you try the Marshmallow RUU, you will have to flash corresponding Marshmallow firmware.zip before the RUU will install properly (this is clearly indicated in red caps text on the linked thread).

I also agree with the previous response. The behavior is really suspicious (changes don't "stick", bootloader does not unlocked) and NAND failure is a real possibility, especially if the problems persist after RUU.

Thanks for your Help
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil_55:
I tried this method but still locked

I'm on 4.4.2 which one should i use (the non-HK i guess since my modelid is 0P6B70000) , i really want the easiest and most detailed way to flash the RUU

and sry for asking this (Do i just unzip the RUU and install or some codes are involved) cuz i downloaded RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.25.651.14_Radio_1.09.20.0209_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2.exe

and installed it but nothing happened

also i wanna mention that this phone came from china and i read abt this Region\carrier codes so maybe while someone trying to fix it change it to Sprint[US] (dk if that is possible) (i'm just guessing i dk if we could use this information)

and Huge thanks to you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Both HK and non-HK versions have the same model number 0P6B70000. The only different is in software/firmware.

Your OS number in getvar (3.30.651.2) leads me to believe it was originally non-HK (the "651" signifies this). But it's possible that the previous seller changed it from HK to non-HK (although I'd say that is unlikely).

Really since you are SuperCID, either RUUs will work (HK or non-HK). You can try 3.30.651.2, or the one you downloaded 4.25.651.14 is fine as well.

The .exe format RUU is probably the simplest method. PC is required.

Do not unzip or do anything special to the RUU. Connect the phone to PC, with phone in bootloader mode. You should be able to just double click the exe file, and it should launch the application, which just walks you through the installation.

Are you saying you double clicked the exe file, and nothing happened? Or that it fully installed, but the phone is in the same state?

No, that isn't possible. The Sprint version M8 is different from all other versions. Trying to flash Sprint version firmware/RUU to any other M8 version results in a radio brick (no SIM, no cell service).

We see on this forum a lot of folks with the Sprint version M8 which have been made s-off and SuperCID (by seller/vendor) to unlock them for use in other countries, and to appear "unbranded" (when they are in fact, far from it).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil_55:
your Help is much appriciated

It did nothing bcuz phone was on bootloader menu but when i tried RUU while phone was booted , wizard moved on to the next step ,

wizard tried to flash RUU but it's stuck on waiting for bootloader , and instead of the phone boot into bootloader it just reboot into the same restore point as if nothing happened.

-https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B&id=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B%21340&parId=root&o=OneUp

- it kinda does that in every process before last step (rebooot) , I tried

1-Flash Firmware via Hboot (requires micro sd card)....

-rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip

-copy 0P6BIMG.zip to ext_sd card

-boot into bootloader

-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button

-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update

-press volume up & let it do it's thing...

*reboot after pressing up

2- Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed....

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder

-boot into bootloader

-plug in usb

-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)

-type fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type fastboot reboot

* Reboot regularly after fastboot oem rebootRUU

3- ARUwizard to flash 3.30.651.2 stuck at same point (waiting for bootloader) then phone reboot regularly

Is there any other way to flash

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to start this thread, in order to ask for your kind help in turning the Chinese Rom of the Asus Zenpad 10 3s [P027] to any other Rom that provides Google services/apps, as you may know all Google services and apps are banned in China, so the original Rom the Pad comes with, doesn't provide any of the previous. I've been following other threads, and so far haven't found anything very useful on this topic.

There are currently no available updates to Android 7.0 yet. Thus, it is a bit hard to use the tools people have managed to root the device have provided.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dansimko:
New Odin was leaked! New guide is here.

New Oreo build for Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955F) is live! G955FXXU1CRB7/G955FOXM1CRAP/G955FXXU1CRAP

Download: https://mega.nz/#F!7wo3nJID!2BPhlHlXVLNOzoxF8Cwbcw (OXM multi-CSC FW)

How to install:

Download Odin

Extract Firmware ZIP, open Odin and load BL, AP, CP and CSC packages.

Put the phone into Download mode, connect it to PC and press Start.

This FW contains both, CSC and HOME_CSC packages. CSC will repartition your device and wipe all your data, HOME_CSC allows you to keep your data.

Troubleshooting:

Odin says "Fail!":

Make sure you have correct drivers installed, try using different cable or computer.

Storage shows only 16GB after the update:

Try doing factory reset or flash CSC instead of HOME_CSC to repartition the device.

This does NOT trip KNOX!

Or if you don't want to wait, I have created a bash script, which repacks the firmware for you:

GitHub: https://github.com/kernel-killer/sam-fw-tool

All you need to do is drop the script (repack.sh) to folder containing the firmware, open console and execute:

cd firmware/location && ./repack.sh

You might also need to fetch some prerequisites before running the script:

sudo apt-get install tar unzip liblz4-tool coreutils

The script is for bash on Linux but can be also run on Ubuntu on Windows 10 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or Cygwin.

Thanks for the upload - about to flash it now.

What country/region is this firmware based on?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dansimko:
The firmware contains OXM multi-CSC, it does not matter which region it was meant for (but it was DBT) because all regions included in OXM receive identical firmware.

Generally, it is not recommended to mix parts of different firmwares and because G955FXSA1AQFE was CSC for Nougat, it cannot be guaranteed, that it will work, however, if it worked with CRAP, it should work with CRB7, too.
