and the problem is cant get XEF rom from anywhere. sammobile down, samfirm gives error, other sites download at 100kb/s
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atlas:
updato is also down?

here's a little help:

open samfirm, put there note8 model and xef, select manual

go to updato, check the latest XEF, click on it.

on the download page, scroll down, check the infos you need to paste on samfirm, copy paste on samfirm and then search, it will download :)

That's not the issue, when I try to unzip the file it says that the zip file are empty or something.

You will have to thick the Decrypting box before downloading and wait until Samfirm finishes. And after unzipping the archive .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsser:
he said zip file is empty, maybe like you said he didnt decrypt but if he still cant open the archive that means its corrupted also he dont need to tick the decrypt button. he can decrypt it after downloading the firmware but dont know if he can do if after closing samfirm
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] themaximillian:
People,

Of course I decrypted the file using Samfirm.

Done this a couple of times before.....

When I looked at the log in Samfirm it seems it has restarted the download at least once, maybe that's why.

[NO SIM CARD IN]

I some how got it to work :/

I am on NEE and Live in Denmark.

Can't remember where and what i downloaded, but here is the steps i took.

I first flashed a downloaded version from samsungbay and then took a frence csc file and mixed with this download.

I flashed using odin and skipped everything, even wifi. I enter phone and connect to wifi click update. No update, i then power off and go download mode and see i'm still on NEE.

I then download from Samfirm the full XEF FIRM, then flash the full FIRM. While i already have another Frence FIRM on. Let it flash and boot, skip everything and then click update.

I am now on Oreo :D

Ive just done this flashed the NZC first which changed the CSC to XSA/XSA/XEU info i then flashed the XEF on the top but its changed it back to XEF/XEF/XEF Is that correct? It now says theres no update when i connect to wifi and check for an OTA update

Do you know what ive done wrong? is it because i flashed the CSC_ Rather than HOME_CSC?

Any help would be great

you have to unplug sim and sd before you flash xef and use CSC not home

to be sure unplug sim and sd, then flash NCZ and skip setup. then go to odin and flash XEF then connect to wifi and download ota. When you download OTA and install, you will be on oreo. do a factory reset from settings. then plug in your sim and sd and it will put you back on your countries CSC with new oreo on it

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habbyy:
Hello all, I have a Zaap TV HD509 Android Box that was purchased a few years ago. Unfortunately this company was a scam and basically now forces you to pay a subscription fee, otherwise you can’t reallt use the box. When I turn the box on, I’m not able to see an “apps” area. The only way for me to see what apps I still have on the USB stick/SD card in the box is by going into the settings but I can’t launch the apps from the settings. Because of this I can only launch the 4 apps that have custom buttons on the remote control, such as YouTube and plex.

Anyways, I have used my brain for hours to think of a way for me to get Kodi to launch since I know it is installed because I can see it in the settings, but I came to the conclusion they purposely set it up this way so that I would cave in and pay their $150 yearly subscription . I know there are other ways for me to use Kodi but for reasons that aren’t relevant to this question, I specially want it on this android box. So I did some more googling and I come across a post on these forms, specially a reply by the OP to a comment left on his thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2257331&page=26

I’m not sure if the OP was telling him that he can do that to make the ZappTV work, and if he was, I’m not very skilled and I have no idea how I would go about any of this. I just want to flash firmware onto that zapptv android box so that I can actually use the box, without The company blocking my box. Thank you s o much in advance if anyone is able to help me out:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasem200:
I have the same here, I would suggest you pay 1 month to watch subscription, then you can access the box.

install custom app store from the web browser.

install new launcher special for TVs from your choice, and make it your default launcher. then you can start your box every time even when the subscription is expired.

install perfect player for IPTv, and make another subscription with other providers from your choice.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] niko26:
Hi,

am using a Pixel XL 1 on Android 8.1, bootloader unlocked, patch level of February. Now I have the problem that since about December no OTA updates are shown/offered at all. Therefor I always had to manually update.

Even the manual triggering of searching for updates, which has recently been changed so that the devices explicitly should get the currently available update, does not work.

The device was rooted, but I have unrooted it (Magisk) now, and is running the standard firmware from Feburar on it.

Does anyone have any clue why my device is not offered any OTA updates?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] niko26:
Anyone?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Kream24:
What kind of recovery do you have installed? Stock or TWRP?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] niko26:
Stock. So everything should be as vanilla as possible! I'm really clueless. :(
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
i don't get it either. pixels running a non-stock os should get notifications about a new update. they won't install successfully though. i'm guessing, but maybe going through the unroot process to get rid of magisk did not return your os to completely stock. maybe some junk was left behind and that's causing your issue.

my suggestion is to flash a full factory image to start fresh. i would edit the flash-all.bat script to remove the -w option to keep data. if that doesn't work, put the -w option back and rerun to wipe data and flash the factory image. if you really want to see if that fixes your problem, flash an older image like the february or january one, and see if the update notification comes back. or flash the march image to be up to date and wait until april to see if you get the update notification.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] niko26:
That's what I've did already :( No difference.

It's just the hassle installing everything from scratch again. :(

I wish recovery/backup was as easy as on iOS. Without necessity of any tricks, root etc.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] shaneledford:
Is this phone enrolled in the Android Beta Program ? I've had trouble getting OTA updates on my phone after the beta program ended for it until I un-enrolled from the program, then I got updates like normal.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] investinwaffles:
Im really really hoping that someone can help me here :(

It started this morning around 10:00 or so - I took my phone out to check my messages, everything is working fine. I lock the phone and put it standby (power button) and *surprise*, it locks up and wont come out of standby :mad:

So i just re-set it (like im forced to do 20 times a day) and instead of booting it went straight to this red/green/blue screen. At the bottom of the screen it just says "Serial" but doesn't actually give a serial.

I instantly thought it was bricked, so i removed the battery and left it out for a few mins. Then i put the batt back in, and it booted normally. I used it throughout the day with no problems.

Fast forward a few hours and it does it again but now it wont boot at all (ive reset the thing like 100000 times in the last hour ive been working on it).

WTF is going on?? Im really really hoping that it isnt too screwed to fix :(

The last program I installed was the SPB pack, but that was over a month ago, and i use the phone every day, multiple times a day.

Oh, and to make things worse i was planning on relying on my TomTom tomorrow :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] investinwaffles:
and the text on that screen says:

Kais1*0

SPL-1.56.0000

And at the bottom it just says "Serial" but none is given.

This blows :mad:

Have you recently tried to flash your phone? Have you ever? If you never have flashed it or attempted to use Olipof's app, then take it to the store and demand a new one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
Do you see "USB" instead of "Serial" if you connect your sync cable to your phone when in the bootloader?

If so, I would download the latest carrier-branded rom and flash it to your device. As long as the rom is designed for your device, then you do not need to do anything special prior to running the file from your PC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] investinwaffles:
I have never flashed it but i have spilled water near it (on the counter, the phone got wet but that was months ago and has no relation to this).

Can they check if it has been wet before?

When i plug it into my computer it says USB instead of serial. Should I try to re-flash with an updated rom and see if it fixes it or just take it in?

Yikes, that happened to a friend of mine, but he flashed his and then had to reflash it. I think there is a place on the back under the battery that they use to tell if it's been wet. I would take it back, even if flashing it fixes it, you don't want it to happen again.

oh and it doesn't mean serial like a serial number, it is a serial connection.
