I haven't updated my bootloader and modem per Dr. Ketan's instructions and ammisr's files yet, because I want to ask another question. I had a ferocious problem about a year ago when I almost bricked my Note 8. I had to install the stock ROM to recover, and I may have updated these two functions then. Is there a way to tell what versions of bootloader and modem I have in my device today, and can I determine if they have been updated already?

BTW, I updated DeluxeROM to v18 last night, and everything looks good. Even the DSB came back configured properly after about 15 minutes. I was astonished! :)

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

I installed v18 last night but went to sleep surfing the internet. This morning I read your post and checked mine. I, too, am missing the Magisk Manager icon. I know Magisk is installed, because my Note 8 is rooted per Root Checker Pro. I looked for it under Settings -> Apps but could not find it. I assume it has been deleted, so I'm going to hunt it down and install it. I needs my Magisk Manager!

Edit: I installed Magisk Manager v7.3.2, and all is well. I did have Magisk 19.4 installed, which is a beta version, but now it works well with 19.3. All's well.

Your Screenshot links are not working, actually you are still on OREO Bootloader and Modem.

The fourth last letter in the version is 'C' which was used for OREO Firmware. 'D' is for PIE.

Latest Bootloader: BL_N950FXXS7DSHC

Latest Modem: CP_N950FXXS7DSHA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Thanks for the info above.

Now, let me ask this. Can I use Odin to apply the latest BL and CP files to my present v18 OS without having to go back to stock OS, then re-applying v18?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joluke:
Yes. Flash the bootloader and modem via Odin and thats it

Hello,

is there a way to integrate Bixby Routines into the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
joluke, zappapp, everything went just fine. I used Odin -3 v3.13.1 to flash the BL and CP files in Note 8 Download mode. After it passed, it booted into TWRP, so I told it to power off. I then turned power on and it rebooted back into TWRP. This time I told it to boot into System, and it did. I turned power off and on to see how it would reboot, and it skips TWRP.

Then I checked Phone INFO to see what the firmware versions were. Indeed, they are now N950FXXS7DSHC and N950FXXS7DSHA. Thanks guys!

Mobile data internet issue

Airtel people inspected my location they have found that at my location have 4 bands and one of them have good internet bandwidth (15 to 30 MBps) which is Band 40 and it runs on 2300Mhz.

Could you please add option in the rom to change the band.

Please update

Or do i need to root the rom and install the app network signal guru for changing the bands?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joluke:
Band? Change it inside a router... Phone doesn't have anything inside to choose bands... You need to do it in your personal router.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] r2rajeev:
Dear, I am taking about mobile data for example you have 2g 3g 4g so if if u choose 4g that it runs on frequency.. like 800 2100 2300 etc...

Can it be possible if i can get the option in the rom?

If u root you mobile device and install app network signal guru from play store so this app will give u option to choose best band, and you can choose .

I dont want to root thatswhy i am asking.. if wouldnt be then have no option... will root it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joluke:
That can only be changed by the operator. Not you, not inside the phone

Source: I'm a mobile technician and trust me, frequencies can't be changed inside a phone

Hope I made it clear for u
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] r2rajeev:
Then i will say you do not have much knowledge..

Airtel engineer has changed in front of me and showed the bands and changed in his mobile with the mobile app....

And please do not interfare.. this msg was for devloper who have made this beautiful rom..

See the youtube videos and surf internet you will see have options to change band.. software comes for change band and i have seen thatswhy i am sure...

Please dont waste my time on arguments overhere time is priceless for everyone..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joluke:
Lmao. You are funny.

BTW the option to change this is the service mode on samsung devices: *#0011#

Go to YouTube and search: change band samsung DEVICE service mode

Can you please be a little more courteous? Joluke is a respected member and contributor on the DeluxeROM thread.

So if an Airtel engineer changed the band in front of you, why don't you go with his knowledge and also tell us how it's done. Time is priceless here, too, so tell us how to do it instead of referring us to YT or our surfing the internet for this information.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Juventus1897:
Us users don't go around saying which ROM is better than others out of respect for the Devs who created them. It's about personal preference. Flash the ROM and then you decide if it's the one you want as your daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] johnybravojr:
Each ROM has its own pros and cons. If a ROM is good for nothing, it wouldn't last long in this forum. And any issue with the successful ROMs will be discussed in that ROM's thread. Go through the first 3 or 4 comments on the ROM's thread, and decide whether you want to try it or not. And when you try a new ROM, give it some time, especially when it comes to battery life. Your newly flashed ROM needs to settle down and work for you. I prefer DeluxeROM because of a couple of things:

It gets updated regularly

New updates can be 'dirty flashed' over the older one

No bugs
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I agree with you other than #3. DeluxeROM does have bugs, as noted in posts on this thread. The good news is the dev is quick to fix as time permits. He's honed it into one fine experience. Several posters have come on here and claiming they've tried other cROMs and settled on DeluxeROM, which saves me time from having to test other cROMs. I do follow one other popular Note 8 cROM, and it's the same thing there - subscribers report bugs and the dev fixes them. It seems to have more battery drain issues than DeluxeROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Logel:
The note 8 (SM-N950F) supports this band's by default. It isn't possible to change them manually.

Also the service code *#0011# only show you on which band/ frequency you are connected.

* Normally the most important is to get an SMS with the correct settings (APN etc.) for the provider you want to use. *

On the Link you can see all the supported bands and frequencies of the device - simple scroll down a bit:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
NSG does NOT give the option to change band. Base stations determine what band a phone will use, not the phone itself.

What NSG does is force the phone to only listen to bands that you select. If there are five bands available in your area, but you only want your phone to communicate on one band, then NSG will tell the modem to listen only to that one band and connect to it when the base station allows it to. Like you said, NSG requires root to get to that administrative function, and most custom ROMs require root, if just to allow TWRP to be the recovery function and install the custom ROM.

Now I don't want you to get mad like you did with Joluke the other day. I'm just telling you how it is. If you want to restrict your phone to a certain band and it isn't offered here, I suggest you hire someone to make it happen for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Adel_2:
I can see that it didn't go thru completely at your end, the folder it is showing Red that is what you don't have wiring access. When you click on changing DocumentProvider Storage it should take you to your file explorer and should select your storage root then confirm select, once that is done right you should be able to see your folder green, my example below.

You can navigate back to your Titanium backup folder by hitting your back bottom from the screenshot you provided.

If you are sure you are doing everything right and still not able to get green folder, you might have issues with your root method. I am using Magisk.

You will not be able to backup till you get write access (Green). A work around, is to copy your folder to your internal storage that is usually accessible Green.

EDIT: Just for grins, I re-flashed v18.1, but this time I did not go through Use Last Configuration. Instead, I chose what I wanted and did not install Magisk. The reflash went through quickly like before, and it booted just fine. Then I chose to go into Recovery. In Recovery, I flashed Magisk 19.3 from my own file in Download. Then I rebooted and went into Recovery again. I flashed Magisk Manager 7.3.2. I rebooted, and it passes the SafetyNet check! This tells me that using the Last Configuration during Aroma causes it to install Magisk improperly.

Battery issue and confrontation

Like mentioned by previous member, out of respect you dont say which rom is best- true. But, you do have to mention the flaws in the rom so the developer can work on it. Developer should be always kept in loop. Like i said earlier have been using this rom for quite a year. Earlier used ketan, light, hades.. but this rom stood out of all. The only issue with this rom is battery drainage. Once the battery reaches 15% in few seconds it goes down to zero n off like a rollercoaster. After mentioning this issue i shifted to lightrom as i did not get any response from the developer and to my surprise they have improved, worked on their flaws unlike a year back. In lightrom, even when my battery reaches 5% i can use it normally and battery drops steadily. In deluxerom i have to keep my display to FHD+ to avoid rapid battery drop and in light battery drop is normal even in WQHD+.

Likewise in my previous post i also mentioned, as there is a new update released for deluxerom, the previous firmware battery starts dripping at much rapid pace, which shouldn't happen. This are my honest opinions so developer could work on this. All being said, i will get back to this rom once the battery issue is resolved. So every update of this rom i do check whether the issue is resolved or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rvkrishnakumar:
Thanks for this post.

Presently using LightROM. Once I tried this ROM.

My requirement is also battery life & all possible google apps replacements.

Pixel ROM was fine but the options are less (No aroma) and LightROM till now doing fine.

But I like the support & quick update of this DeluxeROM (Sep update released in weeks)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Not sure what the confrontation is, as you're just telling us about a problem that many smartphone users have - battery drainage issues. Having tested batteries for a living, I can tell you that no matter what cROM you use, you're going to have significant battery drainage issues more and more as time goes by, because you're discharging your battery consistently below 40%. You are what is known as a deep discharge user. Deep discharging any battery technology wears it down to where its capacity decreases. In other words, as you "test" your battery using different cROMs, your test is changing because the battery is getting worn down. You can actually test a cROM with very good battery drainage features 6 months from now and it will test worse than a cROM today.

I have no battery drain issues, because I rarely drain my batteries less than 40%, and most of the time they stay above 80%. Occasionally I do test the battery by purposely giving it a deep discharge cycle, then charging it to 100%, then monitoring to see what it's characteristics are. Since these deep discharge tests are less than 10 for the life of the smartphone, I barely see perceptible battery capacity decrease. I accomplish staying above 80% because I select smartphones that feature wireless charging. My phones are always being charged except for when I take walks, go into stores, etc. Most users think that constant charging ruins a battery. If a smartphone's Battery Management System (BMS) is designed properly, it will charge a battery correctly. The Note 8 has an excellent BMS.

If you test batteries using a significant constant current load, you will see the batteries' voltage drop as it discharges. Lead-acid battery voltages have a linear voltage drop, whereas lithium ion batteries have a fairly constant voltage until they are ready to kaput. Then the voltage drops like it's falling off a cliff. That's why you're seeing the roller coaster effect. This constant voltage discharge curve is really good for electronics until one considers the surprise ending. I'd rather discharge lithium ion batteries 30-40% and enjoy the constant voltage characteristic, then charge it back to what the BMS considers 100%. I NEVER have problems with smartphone batteries, but I've replaced friends' batteries several times. It's a delicate process due to the intricate packaging of most smartphones.
