I did a factory reset just to make sure.. The battery drain is still not solved. This is annoying.

I'm considering to downgrade to Nougat again :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Leon:
I always had 2h - 3h sot so I don't really know what u talking about. Battery life is so sad on this device. Now oreo seems to drain 1%h. and I have 2h of sot if i don't play much with it. Also no Bluetooth or whatever. And everything is in sleep mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wtr_dhd:
Before I went to 8.0 I had like 6+ hours SOT with intensive use.. It is a 3500mAh device, I think it's normal to get at least 5+ hours SOT !

How do I safely downgrade back to Nougat without tripping knox ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rororo85:
Your Knox will not be triggered till u use stock Samsung and Odin.

If you are on a multicsc, flash a non multicsc, then flash back the nougat multicsc you are targeting to.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Micha_Schy:
Isn't there a new bootloader which came with Oreo?

In that case a downgrade isn't possible.

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-bootloader-odin/

Was the update with the January security patch the latest based on nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wtr_dhd:
I succesfully downgraded to Nougat again. Hopefully problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bogeyof:
Yippieh, Battery Drain in Flightmode is gone with new update CRB7, now again about 2% over night, with CRAB was around 12-13%. Seems also to have less drain in standby with data enabled, so thumps up for CRB7 for now.

The new Oreo release fixed the battery issues for me. Thank you Samsung for making it right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hdnick:
Nope, I've the latest official release, and I've the airplane mode battery drain issue overnight: 8h - 8%

With Nougat the drain was 1% overnight...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bogeyof:
Taken answer from german forum Android-Hilfe.de, it helps to flash older nougat modem or to change 4G to 2G/3G before entering flight-mode. Seems to be an issue with LTE and modem of oreo...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hdnick:
Many thanks for the info!!!

I've done an hard reset and today I've an high battery consumption also when not-in airplane mode

I hope Samsung knows of this issue and will fix in the next release...I'm thinking to downgrade to Nougat...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] chaoscreater:
We're not comparing battery life between 2 different phones from 2 different users. Everyone here is talking about their own experience with the same phone. The usage should be the same for every user. The only difference here is the battery life on Oreo vs battery life on Nougat. That's it.

Anyway, I have the Exynos version and I updated 2 days ago from Nougat to Oreo update CRB7. Wiped cache and tried various things suggested online, nothing helped. I always enable airplane mode before I go to bed and I used to get 1% drain every 8 hours on idle and now I'm getting 2% drain per hour on idle.

How can we downgrade to Nougat without tripping Knox? Just using ODIN?

Update:

OK, my issue has been fixed. Not sure exactly what fixed it, but here's what I've tried:

- Set mobile network to 3G/2G before enabling airplane mode.

- Disable background activity under the Battery setting for Android System, Google Play and Google Play Services.

- Turned off App Permission monitoring (new feature on Oreo)

- Turned off Battery Apps Monitoring - I had this configured from Nougat already

- Enable Wifi Power Saving mode - I had this configured from Nougat already

- Wiped cache from recovery

Not sure what else I tried but I think that's about it. I'm getting about 1% drain per 8 minutes of SOT, which is around what I used to get on Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bogeyof:
I already wrote its a modern issue, you can flash nougat modem or turn 4G off before turning flight mode on and you will be good...

battery

To you guys have any suggestion on the better combination of rom and kernel to save battery for S8+. I have been trying to improve my battery life by trying different roms. I dont mind going back to nuget for battery life. Maybe oero is too new for samsung s8+. I am on Exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GiulianoB:
Finally found the solution. Enter settings, and then find Permissions, then click on Body sensor permission and then, turn off Google play services. The battery is much better now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hondax:
Interesting. Google play services totally disappears from battery stats after this change. Not sure I notice much battery saving - maybe a few %
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GiulianoB:
Found two more solutions. In developer options, there is a feature "Increase readability under sunlight", it's increasing the brightness when the maximum brightness isn't enough, but it also consuming alot of battery, this is also a solution for the oreo "Adaptive screen" which people thought it was a bug, but I discovered that this is not. Tge second solution is, in developer options, find OpenGl renderer, and choose "Skia".

Disclaimer:

When using the second solution, you have to choose again the Skia renderer always after restart, becayse of the the reason that the OpenGl renderer is changing to default always after restart, not sure why.

Hi guys,

i got a problem with my 3T. I didn´t had any problems with the play store but one day i wanted to update a game with a size of 1,3GB every time at around 200-300MB nothing happened and after about 5-10 minutes the download showed 53mb then nothing happened any more. I allready cleared the Play Store data and cache i also used an older and a newer version same problem... . I decided to flash Slimrom with beangapps still the same Problem. Now i flashed RR with the sultanized Kernel and the newest opengapps but i still have the Problem even when i am downloading different apps with a size which is more than 200MB. I have about 60GB Free Storage. (128GB Version). I forgot to say that i used different types of internet connections /speeds it didn´t help.

You can use FlashTool_E2 and the USB port the unit came with to do the exact same thing.

I've had to do it on mine a few times after messin around with stuff.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Kayhan 17#:
You mean to use that tool to Flash firmware instead of the CP2102 UART-Adapter?

Do you have a full dump of the MCU Firmware?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gtxaspec:
That tool only works with the Sofia devices.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
But MCU is completely independent of Android Part....and Mainboards are similar between PX5 and SOFIA (in my case my mainboard is a SOFIA v3 in which is mounted a PX5 coreboard and, obviously, the Bluwtooth/Wifi chip is soldered into the void that exists on SOFIA platforms)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gtxaspec:
So you are using flash tool to back up the MCU? Or the firmware for the SoM?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
No I dont...I was trying to say if a user really can do that with flashtool-e2 to a Sofia board it could do to a px5 board as they are similar...but I think that user is completely wrong as only android Rom or bootloader could be flashed with that tool.

MCU is completely different

I have the 2015 16GB model. I'm having trouble installing the 6.3 OTA update. I'm unable to update for some reason or another and I'm unable to get into fastboot no matter what I try. I've tried hardware buttons and ADB reboot bootloader with no success, but I'm able to get into stock recovery.

By the way, I noticed when trying to install the update, right before it reboots, I noticed a exclamation mark behind the update window, which usually indicates something went wrong.

If possible, can someone pull and upload the 6.3 OTA update? It should be located in /data/data/com.nvidia.ota/app_download. I'm going to attempt to flash the update via recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BLuFeNiX:
I have an S8, currently running U2BQK5, rooted via SamFAIL. Knox is not tripped (0x0).

I would like to be able to use Knox Containers (or even license the phone with my own ELM and KLM keys). I have seen evidence of someone achieving this on an S7, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/5rtcv1/all_knox_apps_working_on_rooted_phone_with/

I have some ideas, but I am unsure if they will trip knox:

* modify stock U2BQK5 system.img to contain su binary, but remove nothing else (leave knox) and flash it

* use flashfire to flash a stock U2BQK5, and allow it to everroot (does this modfiy system.img or boot.img? I need to keep boot.img stock or else knox flag will trip, AFAIK)

* use Xposed to hook Knox root detection and make it think I am not rooted (example: http://repo.xposed.info/module/akhil.knoxrootbypass)

Any thoughts or general guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] beetfarmer_dm:
Hello,

I am using Redmi Note 3 SD version. I have used it since December 2016 with Jio(India)

It worked perfectly. Now after using it with Vodafone 4G , i faced issue with 4G and most of the time got 3G network which i thought was restricted to that carrier.

Now i switched back to Jio and 4G drops constantly in some areas where other phones work perfectly with same SIM

I unlocked Bootloader flashed old MIUI version and rooted my phone

I installed Network Guru in that

for Band 40(2300) it drops constantly with LTE RACH being Radio Link Failure and Failure at MSG2

When i lock it to BAND 5(850) it works perfectly. Can someone help me find out whats the issue? I would love to get back to using all the bands as this may prevent me from using network in some areas
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tiamed:
My kenzo has the same issue with China Mobile(China).

Failure at msg2 for band 38, band 40 and band 41.

Currently, I lock it down to band 39 to get it work.

I tried another SIM card by China Unicom doesn't have this problem, it uses band 3 and works fine.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] PGHammer:
Won't flash on T-Mobile - it expects AT&T firmware (SM-G930A) - not anything else. I tried it (SM-G930T) and got error 7 in second stage with that exact reference (expected SM-G930A; got SM-G930T). This would have to be edited to take that second-stage reference out to work.)

Death Cookie Firmware in Non-DeathStar Phones - Yes; However

Then use A firmware (not U). You can even stick your T-Mobile nano-SIM back in the phone once the firmware is installed (just not DURING the install). I've just finished the install, have my UnCarrier nano-SIM back in the phone, and am currently charging it while restoring all my apps (yes - including the T-Mobile apps). The only loss (which isn't one in my situation) is VoLTE/VoWifi (two features I never use). The rather cute part is that I have more access to e-mail accounts with the AT&T firmware than I did with either UnCarrier firmware or VZW firmware (and with fewer apps, no less). Still, if you DO use VoLTE or VoWifi, this firmware is not an option. You have to reboot a second time (apparently the first reboot post-install doesn't completely flush - which is why the Wi-fi doesn't work; the second boot fixes that). The same should be true with any other carrier (VZW, Sprint, Cricket Wireless, Virgin Mobile, etc.); your only loss will be carrier-specific features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SIGMAxB:
Which version of att firmware did you flash ? Is it worth flashing the Oreo update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] PGHammer:
The same version in the AT&T Mobility thread (same subject) - the hard part (for me) was that I had to update by dong the updates manually to get to the right version to apply the beta (from an earlier version) - seven updates I had to apply via SDcard - THAT was the real pain, not the application of the beta firmware itself, which was rather painless. I'm still there and have absolutely zero interest in going back to any version of Nougat (stock or L, for that matter), and I came from Project L V.4. In other words, I'm using this as my daily driver.

I DO have one warning (and it's one that makes sense when using firmware from another carrier); take your T-Mobile SIM out before you start the firmware changeover, and don't put in your proper SIM until you start the new-customer steps, as some firmware doesn't take kindly to using a carrier other than the one intended (in the case of what I call "Darth Cookie", AT&T Mobility); remember, we're on T-Mobile - not exactly the "proper" carrier for this firmware. (I was wary on the move to T-Mobile firmware, because the handset itself is VZW-branded - and I was worried about gotchas merely there; amazingly - or more amusingly - because it IS locked firmware - changing carriers is depressingly easy despite the firmware locks.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] PGHammer:
Beginning of Round Two - CRB6

I reset the phone, and kicked off testing of CRB6, and I did one thing differently; I left the SIM in the phone. I had a purpose for that - I was looking for bugbears that apply to non-AT&T carriers (T-Mobile, VZW, Sprint, et. al.) Amusingly, there aren't any. I did the flush (U Firmware version of BRA1) then applied the AT&T version of BQL1 (back-to-back via ODIN). Then came the ADB via SD card single-file updates (recovery mode for these) and there are only two - BQL1 to BRA1 (from Round One) and the new CRB6 update (courtesy of Samsung Firmware Science) labeled update_2.zip. It replaces update.zip, and is not opened or extracted - apply it as-is. After this update applies, follow the new-customer steps as you did for Round One - no changes here.

Why I Did It The Way I Did

When someone gets a proper copy, link it to the thread - the very reason I did NOT do it that way was because a proper copy of AT&T BRA1 didn't exist. (You can't get it from SamMobile or UPDATO either - much to my frustration; the latest ODINable AT&T firmware was BQL1.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldOfJohnboy:
So, since once a month I find myself having to click a bunch of links and read how to do a bunch of commands, I wanted to create a thread that (rather generically) explains how to manually flash the OTA monthly updates if you're rooted with Magisk. So, minimally, here's a thread for me to review every month... if it helps you all out, all the better!

Pre-requisites:

Download Latest OTA zip file from Google.

Obtain the STOCK boot.img (required) and dtbo.img (optional) of the System ROM you are currently running. This can be done if you already have the full System Image file downloaded, downloading it currently, or just obtaining the stock boot and dtbo image files elsewhere. (NOTE: This can be skipped if you successfully uninstall Magisk BEFORE you start the process and choose to restore the Stock images in the uninstall process.)

Download Latest Magisk Zip file

Download latest TWRP recovery image

If applicable, have latest USB drivers, adb/fastboot/ files etc.

Preparation:

1) Extract or open the Full Image file and locate the boot.img and dtbo.img files. You will want these on your PC in the platform-tools folder (I usually put the Month name at the beginning, ex. - Jan_boot.img).

Again, you can skip if you successfully uninstall Magisk prior to all of this.

2) Copy your OTA zip file to the platform-tools folder, again naming it after the month helps (ex. - Feb_Pixel2XL_OTA.zip)

3) Put your TWRP recovery in platform-tools folder.

4) Place the latest Magisk zip on your Pixel's internal storage (what used to be the SDCard on phones so equipped).

Commands:

1) From PC, open command prompt and change directory to your platform-tools folder.

2) If your phone is on, "adb reboot bootloader" If powered off, press power and Vol Down button to get to Bootloader. Plug your phone into your PC.

3) [If Magisk is not uninstalled first] Command: fastboot flash boot {Name_of_boot.img File}

4) [If Magisk is not uninstalled first] Command: fastboot flash dtbo {Name_of_dtbo.img File}

5) On your phone, hit Vol Down until you see Recovery, then press power button.

6) Once in recovery mode, press power and Vol Up to bring up menu

7) Scroll to item: "Apply update from ADB" and press power

8) Command: adb sideload {Name_of_OTA.zip file}

9) After the OTA finishes flashing, exit recovery back into the Bootloader

10) Command: fastboot boot {twrp_filename.img}

11) Install Magisk Zip file (and any other Zip files you want installed... Kernels, etc.) within TWRP

Then after flashing your zip files, reboot to system and you should be all set.

I believe everything above is correct, but if I've made a glaring mistake, please let me know.

I also realize there may be other methods to this madness, but this is what works for me.

With this method do you have to worry about removing your password from your phone before you try to go into twrp?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uofirob:
Sweet. I'll give this method a try tonight!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Fe Mike:
Thank you for this. Just to be clear in step 2 under prerequisites you say more on this later. Then in step 1 for preparation you prefix your boot and dtbo with Jan xx.img. I get what your saying, but for the newer noobs they may get confused. Maybe reword to say, extract or open the factory image your currently using or the previous months image. Obviously you do this first so that you can sideload the ota. I don't mean any disrespect.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I believe you also need remove the -w from the end of the .bat file after you extract the OTA; otherwise, all of your data will be wiped.

But great job of getting all this info in one place!
