[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jgowell:
I have been using a brand new Verizon Google Pixel XL 1 (not Pixel XL 2) since early December 2017. A few days ago, I noticed that my phone's speakers do not work and I have not installed any new applications, dropped the phone or changed any settings. If I plug in headphones, I can get audio through headphones just fine and I tested a few different ones to make sure. I made sure all my sound settings for media, calls, and everything else were to max or near max levels. I can also make and receive calls fine without any volume or sound issues, and people can hear me just fine.

I also rebooted into Safe Mode and even then I do not get any audio through the phone's speakers.

I tried blowing compressed air into my headphone jack in case some lint or dust got stuck but this didn't solve the issue, and I downloaded a separate app that notifies me whether the headphone jack is in use or not (also tested), and my phone is properly reporting when headphones are in and and when they are not.

I did download a speaker booster app to see if some other sound related application could recognize what the problem may be with my speakers, and the app reported that there is No External Audio Device Detected. When I plug in headphones and open this app, I do not get this No External Audio message.

For what it's worth, I am on the latest Android Security patch (4/5/18) on 8.1

Does this sound like a hardware or software problem (or possibly both)? Any suggestions on how to possibly fix it? Or would I be better off RMAing through Google? I bought the phone from Verizon in December but do not have any extended warranties so I assume I would have to RMA through Google?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kingfishcoons:
No sound for me either. I'm guessing it's a bug with the latest April security update?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jgowell:
I don't think it has to do with the April security update because I was facing this issue even before the update
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] shayneloyd:
No Sound Fixed

I restored to factory defaults and it resolved the issue; not sure if there is a better way. Nevermind my microphone stopped working, so I restored again and lost both. I guess; I will be hauling around some Bluetooth devices until I'm ready to upgrade.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Vadim Shved:
I have found the solution! Change your launcher, for example, on nova launcher, disallow permission to microphone for google app and never let him this permission, do not use google assistant.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gojeg:
OMG!! You are my hero!!!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Mad Dar:
hi. i already download the nova launcher. but then i do not clear bout the permission of the microphone.

in the microphone permission, which google apps need to disable? ( google, google play store or google services)

Has this been tested on s8+ g55u.?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sawixso81:
So far install goes as planned boots up tried flashing a zip that I have that works with flash fire it goes thru the motions of flashing but upon reboot my mods have not been applied, i did go into the mount option first and ticked system. So so far no flashing zips but that could be user error ill be so stoked once i get it figured out going to way cooler than using flashfire(got love that app it has been a blessing to us s8 owners) also will this run aroma scripts as well i love making me some aroma installers lol:good::highfive::good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Its almost the same, but here you go Galaxy S8 SM-G955U (dream2qlte)

Recovey uses different mount point, recovery log can help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MysticFTW:
Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirSoviet:
If the main OS becomes unbootable due to a bootloop or something of that sort, is it possible to get back to SS? What does it take to convert Odin-flashable firmware into TWRP/SS flashable firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sawixso81:
Thanks a bunch for this bad a#$ tool/utility this makes my life as an avid modder so much easier when flashing and modding system files awesome work and yes I did have to change the mount points to get my zip to flash and aroma is working as well!!!!!!!!! :good::highfive::good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Dang Ive been busy all stinkin day and just come across it.

Nice......
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iamnotexisting:
Whoa, this is awesome! So this isn't exactly unlocking the bootloader, right? It's just one of the first custom recoveries working on Snapdragon? This is super cool, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Just wait, I will start working on new ROM soon.

Also stock odin flashable including SS and ROOT (flashing ENG boot to enable them).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Xnin47:
Damn, I never thought I'd see the day :D So I the battery is still locked to 80% right? Anyway good job and best of luck in future developments man!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirSoviet:
Confirmed working on G950W. Great job! One nitpick I have about is that scrolling is incredibly laggy/stuttery, otherwise the whole package works fine other than the rom slots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Will try to fix lag issue soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DXander1337:
Does this work for all snapdragon S8s, or only the unlocked variants? I have the Tmobile version and would love this.

Also, any ROMs that come from this, will they still have the 80% battery life issues if the custom ROM doesn't use root (I'm not sure if all custom ROMs require root or not). Do the ROMs still have to be based on stock samsung, or could we see AOSP style ROMs with this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Support all snapdragon variants of S8. Unless they has different partition layout.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kekistaneerefugee:
How does this affect things like knox flag and safetynet? Do we have access to system and kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Bootloaders still locked. So Knox isn't tripped but as you have to be rooted to do this is say safety nets broke

I'm not getting the splash screen after multiple tries. Rooted with PartCyborg version QK5
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Read first post carefully, then make sure you installed busybox from the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yanbanan980:
I have BusyBox installed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Check if there /system/bin/e2fsck & /system/bin/e2fsck.bin
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yanbanan980:
Yes they are there
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Can you pull kmsg after reboot from terminal

cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg.txt
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yanbanan980:
It says no such file or directory
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Sorry my bad try again
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sacnotsack:
The apk installed just fine. Already had busybox installed. When I went to install safe strap, it would go through the motions, say installation complete, but status did not say installed at the top and when rebooted it rebooted as normal. After multiple reinstalls of the apk and reboots, same thing. I ended up trying multiple different busybox apps, and the one from JRummy seems to be the one that made the difference to be able to complete the process.

Hopefully with your tool, it will help increase development for us. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] highaltitude:
Worked great on my SM-G950U. Making a backup now.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iamnotexisting:
Wow, awesome! Will it be based off of Nougat or Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yanbanan980:
I got it to work and it's finally working. Thanks so much. Looking forward to ROMs and more!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
impressive. I hope this can someday be on the j3 Prime from metropcs and tmobile (SM-J327T & SM-J327T1) it has a locked bootloader and has root like the s8 snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Nougat for now, will be busy this week.

As I said above will be busy, without a device in my hand it will take longer time and it may not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] freak69ize:

So, we may, we will be allowed to install custom roms soon? btw Do you think that BL will be unlocked or that will never happend?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Based on stock yes, I already made 2 ROM's one based on latest 7.0 and one based on 7.1.1 from note 8 (buggy)

Based on aosp I dont think so for now, unlock the boot loader need a miracle or some magic.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Idk, jrkruse said its not working.

I dont have the device so I cant tell.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] twistedominoes:
Are you planning on releasing these custom roms?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thejackalsmark:
Hi, [MENTION=4770483]afaneh92[/MENTION]

Max Wienbach mentioned the ROM Slots in his write up but I believe you indicated that there was an issue with them in initial release.

Just wondering what the current status actually is on this. Thx and awesome work! keep it up. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
They are stock with no modification. The note 8 rom still buggy I had fixed wifi, but the camera is broken and broke flashlight I think this will take time to fix, gps is not hard to fix and maybe more hidden bugs.

Slot need permissive domain and stock init has selinux mount issue so we need hacked one, Hashcode is helping me but we dont need to bother him as he busy in his life.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DroidisLINUX:
You could look into the f.i.s.h project also might help to boot custom boot.img and system.img there is a thread on xda about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] perfectpitch:
Any word on this going to work with oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Hi all, users with status "Not Installed"

I have rewrote the safestrap app, cleaned it up and implemented internal busybox. So busybox not needed anymore.

If you have this issue PM me with device model and firmware build id, I will sent you test build same as B2.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigalbklyn:
I have a boost mobile Samsung s8 running partycyborg's rooted rom. I was able to install this without any problems and I was really happy to see the TWRP interface again. As mentioned in an earlier post SD card not integrated yet and is much needed.

I made a backup anyway and had a need to actually restore using safestrap a couple of days after. Unfortunately the restore failed, (sorry didn't capture the error messages), and had to use odin, etc to get my phone to work.

Anyone have similar issues or does it seem like "operator error" to you? I would love to be able to use this recovery option but only if I can depend on it working reliably.

Thanks to all who developed this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MalharB:
Are Rom slots working or not ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bradical711:
No. And don't ask for an ETA either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HighOnLinux:
Awesome work on safestrap! during the backup process (before flashing a bad file), it's very buggy to unlock the phone while it's backing up my files. Basically what i'm trying to say is, the touch response to unlock the phone during a backup process is very slow and takes a second or two to register my touch on the screen. Other than that, it's very good! Keep up the great work :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
will try to fix it when I got some free time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yanbanan980:
Can you flash boot animations? If so, are there any?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bradical711:
Yes. A simple search through some threads here in XDA will point you in the right direction. But this isn't the thread to ask these questions.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] barisgg:
Any developments you can share about the rom slots? Not asking an ETA, just been a while we've heard anything about them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
No working yet. Something block the boot process.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sokky:
When did ROM slots last work in Safestrap? Or have they never worked? I'm trying to use Google Pay since I switched to this phone and I'm trying to grab a non-rooted rom to allow for it to be used.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bradical711:
ROM slots have not been working at all since it's inception on our devices. And Google pay won't work because safety net fails so you would need to head back to stock. Not a rooted ROM. If you want to use Google pay you will have to go back to stock or you can patiently wait for ROM slots to be working on safestrap but do not ask for an ETA on that.

I've been trying to get TWRP on here for a minute. 950U1. Found this in a search. Great utility. After turning off SuperSu in the App so I could use an app that looks for SU.... I haven't figured out how to get it back without reinstalling everything. This allowed me to do it from recovery. Great job!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SamGuy2020:
In back up, what is the difference between system and system image and are they meant to be restored at the same time? Cache, system, system image, data, efs can all these be restored at the same time?

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

if you bootloader version is 3 or higher you can't downgrade any more
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zombyz:
Yes a have...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tfhavel:
Nothing posted here in a couple of months now. An update would be appreciated, including:

(1) Are the ROM slots working yet? And is it possible to boot up any ROM at all without them?

(2) Is there a rooted version of stock Oreo available yet?

(3) Are there any AOSP ROM's that could be installed?

If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," step-by-step download-install-boot instructions would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bradical711:
(1) ROM slots are not working but you can still boot a ROM yes.

(2) root for Oreo will probably never happen so no, the method for root was patched with Oreo etc.

(3) and no, because ROM slots have not been working since safestrap's inception.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tfhavel:
So, are there any possibly interesting ROM's out there at all that could be installed with safestrap? I'm using a Sprint G950U device and that forum has nothing in its "SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 ROMS, KERNELS, RECOVERIES, & OTHER DEVELOPMENT" thread!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Depends on what revision bootloader you are on 5th number from far end
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tfhavel:
FA70_G950USQU2AQK2, so I guess the answer is "2" ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
I think the only 2 are part cyborgs and the stock full bloated rom i put up for safestrap flashing
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tfhavel:
Can I get a link to a "cyborg?"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tfhavel:
Tried to format data in preparation for installing the cyborg ROM (AP_PartCyborgRom-G950USQU2BQK5_Part1.zip) but the format failed with a kernel panic and now the phone does not respond to holding down the power button or anything else (and on an S8 you can't just take the battery out either). The text that's currently showing on the phone is:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tfhavel:
Yeah, finally got that figured out, reflashed the BL/AP and got it back; but the question remains: why did a simple reformat of the data partition do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Safe strap or at least for me has been a bit buggy i don't use it for backup or restores. I get all kinds of errors.

I only use it for flashing a few things other than never even use it
