[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jmwils3:
Verizon had the demo for the s9 plus in their store today, and the model of the phone is IDENTICAL to the unlocked US model. Also kinda wishing I'd stuck to the purple one I'd ordered by accident and cancelled, as it looks amazing in person.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ryotgz:
With the S7, you could flash the any of the carrier or unlocked firmware on the phone. This would give you access to verizon VVM, WiFI calling, etc if you flashed that firmware. I heard the S8 was the same since the hardware in them are the same between carriers. Here's to hoping that the S9 is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Geekser:
If you want WiFi Calling on Att - you MUST buy an ATT phone. ATT WiFi calling will only work with Branded ATT Phones - NOT unlocked ones. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dmb219:
This is true. If you want wifi calling (which I do), you need an AT&T phone. You can't flash anything on the phone to make it work. A few extra AT&T apps is not a big deal on a phone like this to get the features they provide. If you pay for their service you should get all the benefits but that's not how it is for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Geekser:
And that is very unfortunate. I am hoping that one day they will open up WiFi Calling to non carrier phones - but I doubt it will happen any time soon if at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tcabrino:
Is it the same for tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] raejr78:
Just got off the phone with a Tier 2 Tech Coach with VZW and they said that they can only "guarantee the VZW branded phones will work with their features." I specifically asked about VVM and WiFi calling. They suggested I stick to the VZW branded model. I explained that their model was virtually $100 more than the unlocked version from Samsung and I wasn't sure why that was on "basically the same phone." She was kind and courteous, but certainly it's another way for Big Red to make more money.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] equake:
GS8 Unlocked worked with both VoLTE and Wifi Calling on TMO so there is no reason for the GS9+ unlocked not to support these features.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Problem with VZW is support for integrated video calling thru the phone app which is different from the Samsung default. On VZW the unlocked USA version will support VoLTE but not WIfi Calling, VVM, Video Calling.

my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jmwils3:
They're wrong. I tested a Verizon model in stores, and it's literally the exact same model number as the unlocked one I've got on order from Samsung. But of course they want you to buy the Verizon one, the mark up in the price is pure profit for them, and they probably get a commission for selling it to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
Don't forget their useless $30+ "activation fee" they charge when you buy a device through them. I shouldn't have to pay $30 to take the SIM out of my old phone and put it in my new phone. I'm going with the unlocked version because I'm considering switching to T-Mobile due to all this type of crap Verizon pulls.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mjs2011:
So I'm curious what happens if you have a leased phone. Do they just not accept it and then charge your card for what you weren't charged at time of checkout?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LgG2-Ttrain:
Yes from what I understand they will not accept the leased phone, and also it says they will not ship your phone back to you. So then your going to be charged for the trade in and also not get your phone back.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mjs2011:
I just read on their FAQ that they do accept phones on payment plans.

LOL and that would be theft too if they didn't give you a credit and not ship your phone back to you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LgG2-Ttrain:
Yes my s8 plus is on the Verizon payment plan, and I'm trading it in for the s9 plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] cdcaish:
VVM will work on the unlocked model. I just flashed the unlocked firmware on my verizon model and the galaxy app store downloaded a vvm app, syncs up with verizon's vvm. Only thing I'm having an issue with is accessing IMS Settings to be able to turn on video calling in the dialer. Hotspot works. Haven't had a chance to test HD Voice, though I do have VoLTE enabled in settings. When I try to open IMS Settings I get permission denied in nova and not found in shortcut master.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Labeled:
I was looking this up before with the S8, they had to do a lot of spoofing, but then att is actively keeping users that didn't buy from them out. its surprising the amount of effort they're putting into it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Oh_wow:
So i did some some searching on wifi calling. I live in a la4ge city with plenty of coverage and i dont use visual voicemail. A unlocked s9+ seems like it may be a good option for me on verizon. Am i missing anything? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Razzzzer:
can we assume things like "free NFL app" on Verizon will work on the unlocked phone? streaming some of those games when away was nice ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] iamrobk:
Can confirm it works on my unlocked S9+ on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlwaysNoob:
Any luck with WiFi Calling?

I got unlocked S9+. VoLTE, HD Voice and VVM works out of the box.

I really want to enable WiFi Calling and WiFi Texting.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Fasade:
Hi I have been stuck with the rom the phone came with for a while and I decided to change it since it stays at android 6, but I have no idea about what each "custom" rom gives compared to others so if you could please explain.

[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] jusumgeezer:
Hi

I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.

Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.

My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)

What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?

So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.

Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?

Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.

Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] VigneshS007:
Search for Huawei ERecovery you may find something useful..
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] xzyk:
I have the same model and have also been following the thread. My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.

There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.

BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] jusumgeezer:
Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.

I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] evolucja:
I flashed a firmware today and couldn't revert to stock because can't find it. Any ideas?
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] xzyk:
When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] jusumgeezer:
Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?

I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.

Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] xzyk:
found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img

this implies root is required so I guess you would:

1. unlock bootloader

2. load TWRP.

3. load root (su).

4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.

However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] jusumgeezer:
I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.

The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?

Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:

What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go
[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] xzyk:
Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?

You could try this:

https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/

but it never really worked properly for me.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] kalmas77:
I have bootloader unlocked and TWRP 3.2 installed.

Normally most ROM's are not finished installing always stuck in patching system image unconditionally.

LineageOS 14.1 it was installed but the screen was black with the blue LED on.

I have the stock S251 firmware version of P2a42 with Lenovo P2c72 model.

I tried to format data to EXT4 but doesn't work.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] medwatt:
Are you 100% sure the bootloader is unlocked ? Did you unlock the bootloader via fastboot or you just waited until the 14 days countdown ended ?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] kalmas77:
Yes, I'm 100% sure. I unlocked via fastboot with your thread :good: https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/lenovo-p2-owners-click-t3668029
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] medwatt:
What version of Android are/were you on ? You need to be on at least Android 7 S244 to be able to flash LOS 14.1.

What I'd suggest you to do is flash the stock ROM all over again. See this. I have the c72 version myself and I've never encountered the issue you mentioned.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] kalmas77:
Yes, I installed 5. P2a42_S244_170725_ROW_fastboot.7z manually through fastboot and updated later to S251 through OTA. LineageOS 14.1 it is and example, which ROMs works for you? I am looking a Android 8 Oreo custom ROM. Do you have to change partion data to EXT4 or something else? I thought it was because I have the C72 version.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] medwatt:
I've tried most of the ROMs here and they all work.

I cannot install any rom nor wipe data anymore. Stuck on LENOVO blue logo with the android with the lock in the belly! Help please!

PS: I can reboot to fastboot or TWRP

EDIT: i solved the issue rebooting twice from TWRP to TWRP again and making it permanent on the system, now rom is doing first boot.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] kalmas77:
Thanks, I always making permanent but apparently it was not enough. Now it's working. Probably I only need to boot TWRP through buttons instead of using fastboot commands to making permanent.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] birdie:
Now that Xiaomi has failed to deliver a timely update for the MI A1 and they have totally failed to communicate any issues in regard to the February update, we can rightfully assume that this phone can no longer be called an Android One phone.

Also, if Xiaomi's MIUI forums and Twitter are of any indication, they don't care about the MI A1 a tiny bit and they keep touting the MIUI Android skin.

If you want to say something about rooting, alternative ROMs or adb, please, don't. Most people have bought into the Android One project/promises. They have been deceived.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] shunney:
It's far fetched to say that Xiaomi has failed as whole. They have delivered this far and yes, sometimes they publicly indicate that MIUI>STOCK Android by deleting the comparison poll. I think the whole issue is with Google taking multiple Android one projects and then ignoring/forgetting about older projects, and Xiaomi just aggravating the delay.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0_RoXoR_0:
Can we do something to make them realize wgat they're doing is wrong? They need to know what they're users feel not individually but being united somehow might help!!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] airidosas252:
You really shouldn't worry. One single security update is not gonna kill you, so to speak. I'm pretty sure they are doing a ton of work just to bring a better experience than it is now.

Don't forget their holidays. They haven't been able to work on the device for quite a while, so I'm sure they'll come up with March security update faster than February, if they will.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] alkesh95:
Wow. A Brand new thread on Xiaomi hate. Keep up the good work.

@[OP] I have request that you should change "we" in your statement "we can assume....a1 is not an android one phone." To "i/me and like minded people".

Why such a bizzare request?

1) "We" represents a much larger group.

2) Your assumption won't change the fact that A1 was/is/will be an android one phone. (Not a fan. But in general too tired of threads like this popping up.

3) just like this thread my post is pointless too.

4) i may have been insensitive earlier. I dont know your pain and suffering. In India you can go to consumer court and file a complaint on false advertisement. Maybe you have something like that in your country. Or you can just sue them for the deception, false advertisement, physical/mental/emotional suffering, etc. You may even get compensated. Good luck.

And if anyone wants to debate over it please drop me a PM.

Regards.

United? Individually? What they're doing is wrong?

Really

Are you from some part of world where xiaomi is your oppressor like Admiral-General Aladeen and he's forcing you guys to use this phone at gun point ( safety is set to aladeen).

Trolling aside i really hope you are not living under dictatorship.

In free countries you can choose your phones. And there are hundreds of choices.

Long live freedom
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris.nl:
Monthly updates for the Mi A1 were never promised by Xiaomi or Google. U misinterpreted "regular security software updates". Try to find a original Xiaomi or Google source saying montly, you will only find regular or frequent.

Example...

So just stop expecting monthly updates, they were never promised officialy.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ГАСООП:
I agree. It has been two months since the last update, and the battery issues are still not resolved. Low quality 8.0 from December is still the latest official build and we have march already. 8.1 is out for like 4 months? Xiaomi succeeded with mi a1, yet they treat it like an unwanted child. Never seen a worse support, to be honest.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris.nl:
To be honest?

What was promised? Android 8.0, Android 8.1?

No, you were promised AndroidO (not a numer). You'll also get AndroidP.

And again, you were never promised monthly patches.

regular updates does not mean monthly update.. if its not broken (totally) why fix it?! :silly:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] alkesh95:
You clearly haven't used android for a long time. I have seen far worse support.

It's all about priorities. Just like a booty call is priority when compared to other task. MIUI has much higher priority as they have invested in that since the beginning of Xiaomi. A1 is the bastard child of xiaomi with Google. That's why it gets left out.

Screw infractions.

Do you even know what you are talking about. You bought that device on your own. You aren't stuck with it. You can sell/exchange. Let's assume you are stuck.

Economics you said right. So according to you it must walk in park to make cheap devices with acceptable hardware.

The moment you bought it you knew you were compromising. ( Only people who are allowed to deny this are those who has a1 as secondary/test device).

How many devices are there with oreo in same price range. F**k oreo. How many device got Jan update in same price range.(nougat)

Don't forget money is the most important factor.

Quality of a commodity is directly proportional to its cost.

Let that commodity be food you eat, roof under you live, even good toilet papers cost more money then normal ones and people use both types to do just one thing wipe the sh!t.

Let's get back to you being a great, kind, fearless, bravehearted, benevolent customer to Xiaomi.

If you go to fight Xiaomi even with like minded people. You will eat dirt majestically.

Why because the powerusers are small percentage of a larger user group.

And Xiaomi wants to sell these device to that larger group not you. If Xiaomi knew you personally they will never sell you their phones.

Do you even know why XDA exist?

Certainly not for *****ing against OEM.
