This is not confirmed, but the current word is, updates with July and newer security patch do not work in DC-unlock.

Downgrading to earlier build should allow it to work . The problem is getting the downgrade to work.

Nobody seems to be able to get the desktop version of firmware finder and Hisuite to work together like the "many" guides say they do.

I have suggested to a few people to use one of the "service-roms" and flash it to a earlier build. The build will be as BND-L21C432 but seems to have worked, on bricked phones that already have an unlock code. Problem is sometimes this method leaves phone with "unknown model". And we don't know if this will work in DC-Unlocker.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Thanks. Unfortunately you confirmed what I have been finding. I'll just wait for something I can be more confident working. I ain't rich enough to start making $200 phones in to $200 paperweights. ?

Please don't qoute the whole OP. It clutters the thread. Please edit your post.

Just look at the compatible devices list on their website. I don't have a hauwei phone anymore. I switched to the Essential Phone.

You can also just try it. If it doesn't work no biggie. You won't brick it.

I have a honor 7x bnd al10(indian version) with the latest (august) update. Will i be able to get my bootloader unlock code by this method? (As some said bootloader code can't be achieved from july or newer firmware)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
I chatted with both DC-Unlocker and Ministry of Solutions, and they both confirmed that there is no unlock method beyond the initial Oreo release. I have a Mate SE, but clearly it is the same issue. Both recommended rolling back to Nougat with HISuite.

Thanks for the link. No luck for me. Other version button does not show. Update just shows that I have the latest.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Me too! I'm really only interested in rooting--don't mind EMUI 8 at all, as opposed to the gawd awful Samsung ****e on my previous devices.

I just want full control so I can debloat, add root firewall (aldeady using a real/paid vpn), and add a few of my favorite Xposed modules--nothing major, and I don't care about any future updates from Huawei, Safety Net, nor anything else I JUST WANT ROOT.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] helikido:
I'm having the same exact issue as you. Can you detail which version of HiSuite you used and Firmware Finder? The issues I'm currently having are:

1. Firmware Finder won't run, it just automatically results in a "remote server 403" error

2. HiSuite 5.0.3.22 automatically wants to update on launch and won't run otherwise, it quits if I select don't update.

3. I'm on the latest Orea update for the Honor 7X, trying to downgrade to 8.0.333 (same as you). The latest update apparently breaks all current bootloader code reading methods, and I need to downgrade as a result.

EDIT: Seems like many are having this problem. Please let us know how you managed to do it. Thank you!

Linked earlier in this thread, page 14 I believe.

Have to change dns settings before launching hisuite.

I didn't have any issue with it forcing an update. Maybe because of the dns change?

Regarding firmware finder not working, I'm not sure what is up with that, hasn't given me any issue. Maybe you have a firewall blocking it?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] R0tb3rt:
Hey guys!

First of all, have a great sunday!

I want the Nokia 7 Plus but the 4GB + 64GB offered here in Germany is a bit weak for my taste and I was wondering

if it is possible to get the Android One ROM from the european model for the higher spect asian with 6GB of Ram and 128GB of storage.

Any news on that?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] andrewsc:
IK had a widget "A sticky note" for 4 years. It shows a text which I can edit. When I was adding new text (i.e. things to do) then older text would shift downwards. The current entries would always stay on the top, and the widget was showing the top without having to open the application.

After the upgrade to Oreo and Emui 8.0.0.366, the widget still shows the top, but when I open it, the keyboard's cursor jumps to the end of the text. I tried with another widget "Simple Note", same result. Is there any way for the insertion point to stay on top of the text ? As it did in Emui 5.0.00 ?

Alternatively, does anyone know about a sticky text widget which can restore the position of keyboard entry to the point where it was left on previous session. My QuickEdit does that , but it is not a widget.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Ueihtam:
Hey guys,

My Nvidia Shield K1 died, and after several days doing comparison of what's available now, i decided to go for a Tab S3.

Great Super Amoled screen, hdr capable, but only 720p on netflix ? is that true ?

Even the shield k1 can do 1080.

Is it just a config issue or is the tab s3 really only capable of 720p ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
You can play HDR on the tab. I don't use Netflix so I'm not going to be much help. You need the right version of the apk and latest firmware version. If you're rooted use magisk and there is a module for Netflix.

See if anything in here helps, https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3711917
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Ueihtam:
Thx for your reply, but it has nothing to do with HDR, you can be in 720p and still play in HDR. And yes i can play hdr content, at least i see the hdr tag on some content in netflix, but this tablet seems limited to 720p. And i dont understand why.

And i want to know if anyone ever tried the test patterns on there tab, look at the upper right corner, it will show you the bitrate, resolution and framerate. The shield k1 shows 1080p at 30 fps and the tab s3 720p at 30 fps.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] keno_ro:
Dear all,

We have a great phone but these are the issues I have so far and sadly the responses of the Huawei support team are below expectation:

1. there is no way to stop the automatic conversion of a long SMS to MMS. That option was available even on the Galaxy S2

Tried reaching out to Huawei support and got this:

This feature is operator related, please contact them ! :))

2. in call notifications: you can not stop the phone from vibrating or making sounds when you are in a conversation. Its annoying as the vibration can be overheard by the other party or by my cranium.

The answer of the Huawei: this can not be disabled as we consider that you have to get the notifications in real time :))

3. linked volumes ringtone and notification

If you are in any groups on a messaging application then you understand the need to have different values for the notification and ringtone:

Huawei said that they didn't considered this option.

Does anybody have a solution to these problems?

Thank you,

Also Tried Getting Back to stock android rom

It Happens on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Version

But It Disappears on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop or at least becomes way less frequent and unnoticeable

PS* Rom Was Flashed On Stock 5.0.2

* I didn't Activate any kind of battery saving

*I Never tried using Mobile data so I Don't know if that happens

Please Provide any solutions that worked if you have the same problem or any video or link i can read

Hope I Gave All The Information You Need ..

Is there anyone who has the Combination Files,and Eng Boot or Eng Root for the S8 snapdragon Oreo yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
No. And from a history standpoint possibly won't be any. As they normally only release them with each incremented bootloader. V1 v2 bootloaders have one. But since oreo is still a v2 bootloader they technicly don't need a combo for oreo

It's been like this on the last few Sammys as well s7 at least. It's an observation I have made.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] davisdlrch:
I have the Korean N950N and I would like to try flashing the N950F firmware. My N950N seems to have issues switching between HSPA+ and LTE/LTE+ to the point where sometimes I'll have zero LTE bars, and I get no data, but if I switch to 3G only, I'll have no problems and full bars. I don't think it's the CSC so I'm guessing the N firmware handles the wireless frequencies differently, even though it shouldn't. What's also weird is my G935F (S7e) always has at least one LTE bar when testing from locations where I get zero bars on the Note 8.

How do I create a TWRP flashable firmware package to change the model number/firmware and test that variable? I already know I can't flash with ODIN because the signatures won't match. Also, is there anything else that may be causing this issue? My S7e should *not* be getting better reception than my Note 8, based on everything I've been reading about improved modems.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
You might want to check the supported frequency bands of the Korean note 8 and the band your carrier uses. Might be a hardware problem and cannot be solved by playing with software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] davisdlrch:
The N950F and N950N have literally the same hardware. They support all the same frequencies and have everything I need to connect to AT&Ts network. The only difference is the Korean N950N doesn't have the region lock and "jail" issues of the N950F. Additionally, I am able to get full LTE-A bars and speed in other areas and have no issues.

My problem is at my home I, at most, have one bar of LTE-A coverage. Sometimes that coverage drops to zero bars, and there isn't a switch to HSPA+/3G so I have issues sending texts and accessing mobile data until I either shift the phone and get a bar, or completely disable LTE and use HSPA+/3G exclusively.

Automatic switching between LTE and 3G is the issue, not support for the frequencies themselves.

EDIT: In addition, my SM-935F (S7 Edge) *never* loses LTE reception in the same areas and has never had this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Some providers operate on two lte frequency bands. Perhaps one is supported the other isn't.

Most n950f doesn't have region locking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] davisdlrch:
Actually, almost all of them are region locked if you're buying for use in the US. And again: the supported frequencies aren't the issue. Even if they *weren't* supported, I should be switched to 3G when there's no LTE reception, which isn't happening. I just get zero LTE bars and no data instead of switching to 3G and slower data.

Additionally, the same exact frequencies are supported by my G935F (S7e) and it doesn't have that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Aah.. american telco.. there is a reason they aren't selling n950f there but the sd variant.

And yes it's the frequency. I saw it somewhere but i can't recall.

Which telco are you on if you don't mind me asking
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] davisdlrch:
Yeah, the reason we have Snapdragon is some US Carriers use the CDMA network technology and It's easier to just use Snapdragons + their built in modem as opposed to gluing the Qualcomm modem in with Exynos (which was done only once with the S6 and Note 5 because the SD 810 was so ****ty). Either way, they'd have to pay royalties to Qualcomm for CDMA technology usage. But that's neither here nor there for my situation.

I'm on AT&T. It's a GSM based network and fully compatible. I literally have stated multiple times that I the phone supports all frequencies I need. I have the SM-N935F (S7e) which supports the *exact same frequencies* and I do not have the issue with that phone. My problem is handoff to 3G when there isn't good 4G coverage! It *never* hands off to 3G unless I've got a call active. If I have low reception, I'll just have zero 4G bars instead of switching to 3G. If I manually disable 4G I have full 3G reception. When I go elsewhere with better reception, 3G handoff is irrelevant because 4G is working with full speed.

Just to prove my point: Here is the frequency compatibility table for my International S7 Edge:

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...-edge-lte-a-samsung-hero-2/at-t-united-states

Here is the compatibility table for my Korean Note 8

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...d-lte-256gb-samsung-baikal/at-t-united-states

All the frequencies, minus one LTE frequency, is supported on both phones. My issue is I have *better* speeds/reception on my s7e and when I have low bars, it actually hands off to 3G where my Note 8 doesn't. AT&T is a fully GSM based network and compatible with the International Samsung phones. I've been buying them for years.

Frequency support is not the issue. If it was, I wouldn't get any 4G reception at all! I'd have to use 3G 100% of the time. I need to solve the 3G handoff issue when there's low/no 4G reception.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] morback:
Hi everyone

I'm using a Xiaomi mi mix 2 with last stable xiaomi.eu rom. It looks like MIUI has a problem with handling Bluetooth codecs with certain car radios. With Pioneer radios, the phone automatically sets codec to AAC, but no media sound is transmitted.

When I choose SBC codec, everything is fine. The thing is MIUI changes it back to AAC each connection.

(Actually AAC works fine with my other phone OP5T, I guess AAC is broken with MIUI Oreo)

Would it be possible with Tasker to force Bluetooth codec to set to SBC ? If yes, I would be grateful if someone could explain how.

I would say, the best would be someone who could write a little Tasker app which does it for me when I press the shortcut for instance.

Thanks!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] lauralbaby:
You probably need to change a setting, Secure Task can handle this with the Secure Settings option.

It's going to be device dependent so you'll need to do it yourself (see screenshot). Read the settings first, then change the codec, and then read it again, so you can see exactly what you want to change to.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] bringit8:
I have a Oneplus 5. but I had the same problem trying to upgrade. I just posted this in the oneplus forum last night. I'm currently back on 8.0. I must have flashed the phone about 20 times.. not fun.. so make sure everything is backed up. This is what I did to stop the blinking.

1. Download the 8.0 zip from the official download link on OnePlus.com copy it to root folder

2. Flash back to 8.0.. assuming you're on 8.1

3.Upgrade to 8.1 when prompted

4. After it successfully upgrades.. it'll still blink..

5. Either through developer menu advanced reboot or volume down/power go into recovery

6. Flash 8.0 original zip

7. Don't wipe

8. Reboot, normally back into 8.0, you'll encounter errors.. com.android errors and it'll force reboot back into recovery

9. In recovery, wipe all user data

10. Then just reboot

11. I reinstalled fresh.. without restore, and installed my apps one at a time.. I thought maybe it was an app I had installed.. but it would start blinking randomly so I still don't know what causes it..

12. Back to 8.0 but it'll stop blinking

13. Rinse and repeat.. reflashed like 20 times.. and now it hasn't blinked day 2..

Each time I try to flash to 8.1 it starts to blink.. not sure how to upgrade but I'm also all stock nonrooted as well.. I've never had any issues upgrading until now since new.

Pretty sure it's not hardware as it doesn't blink in recovery.. only when it boots into the o/s.

But each time I try to upgrade either from the phone.. or the official 8.1 zip from XDA.. it will start to blink.

Good luck..

You can root without PC, but to ROOT you need to unlock your bootloader which can't be done without PC. Also, if you're new to this and don't have a PC, I highly recommend against doing this because in case of you brick your phone or something similar you would need a PC to recover it which would be again probably complicated for you if we take in consideration that you're new to ROOT-ing.
