Backup your data with your favorite backup/restore method/s before using Odin. So have the data to restore later with your favorite backup/restore method/s afterwards.

So, I need to root to flash this, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Vish.N:
Nope. This is official Samsung firmware. No root needed and it won't break Knox.

I actually did this the other day but after flashing the U1 firmware on my T-Mobile Note 8 using the patched Odin I then used the regular Odin and just flashed the CP and Userdata from the T-Mobile U firmware and it enabled RCS, Video Calling, VoLTE, Wifi Calling and did not install any bloatware. Everything is perfect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Wicked68:
Oh, ok, cool. I have unlocked and using on T Mobile, I have wifi calling and the like already. Since the new update, video calling was removed again. I don't even use it, but I still want the feature activated. I expected the unlocked version to have everything, not be missing features. Thanks

Will this same method work if I have the unlocked Note 9 and I want to have AT&T features?? Do I just flash the CSC from the AT&T firmware and keep everything else the files from the U1 firmware?

I just flashed the U1 firmware on my Verizon note 9 to get the Verizon crap off of it because I have At&t but I realized that it isn't as perfect as I thought it was because I have no HD voice or Video Calling. Thank you!!

What else gets unlocked? I already have WiFi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] somemorestuff:
I'm considering doing this "franken-flash" with the latest PrinceCosmy Odin on my 935U, but have the following questions (I know it's a 950U thread, but should be similar):

1. Will I still get OTA updates & are they safe? Has anyone tried a manual update?

2. If so, what should I expect; would BL & AP eventually flash to the T-Mobile variant or would each component (BL, AP, CP, CSC) follow it's own upgrade path?

3. Will it also fix the problem of T-Mobile forcing OTA updates to be done over WIFI? (happened the last 2 updates)

Here's the features I'm expecting to fix:

Flashing 935T CSC - Enable Video Calling, HD Voice, & RCS (pros), add T-Mobile bootup splash (big con)

--NOTE: VoLTE setting is available & turned on but doesn't appear to fully enable HD Voice; WifiCalling is already functional

Flashing 935T CP - Enable 4x4 MIMO & 256/64 QAM (huge pros), possibly lose roaming use of a few bands (2G CDMA: CDMA800, USPCS1900; 3G CDMA: BC0(800), BC1(1900), BC10(800); UMTS: B8(900); 4G FDD LTE: B13(700), B25(1900), B26(800), B29(700), B30(2300)) (con)

Flash any mixture - possibly break OTA updates (con); accidentally take an OTA update while mixed & brick phone (huge con)

I first called T-Mobile & asked if they could edit the IMS settings to enable Video calling. After elevation to tech support & some further discussion I was eventually told "it's not a T-Mobile phone so you're out of luck - call Samsung". Of course that'd be a waste of time since it's probably T-Mobile that locked out the IMS settings in the first place.

In case anyone needs them - I got the latest firmware direct from Samsung using SamFirm (pretty fast downloads). T-Mobile is the TMB "region"; that works fine with both SM-G935T and SM-G935U models & set to "auto" to get the latest.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Oske829:
So I got my g6 from sprint and of course they have to throw their customers under the bus and give them a bazillion apps pre-installed on their phones that they can't get rid of. So I've been trying to root my phone because I'm pretty sure a superuser account could let me get rid of all that stuff. I think I'm somewhat familiar with what I need to do, unlock the bootloader, flash a custom rom, yadda yadda yadda. But to unlock the bootloader I need my devices ID to get an unlock key from LG. Problem is I need to be in fastboot to get that info with the application I'm using. Whenever I try to do 'adb reboot fastboot' it just reboots the phone. When I tried to do the thing where you power it on while holding down one of the volume keys it did nothing. I've tried looking around to see if anyone else has this problem or if the U.S. models are't able to access the bootloader menu but I can't find anything. Every tutorial I've watched and read uses the same process but it never works. What am I doing wrong?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] siggey:
Sprint g6 is locked. No way to unlock. In guide sections you can find a thread about debloat without root.
[Other SmartWatches] Grivus:
The idea was to do wireless charging for the clock. For the base took the Chinese charge from the Samsung watch, bought in Ali. The accessories for the receiving part were purchased at the nearest radio equipment store, the circuit there was the deformity of a simple coil, a diode, a zener diode and a capacitor, in total.

On the test launch "on the forehead" the circuit did not work, because charging the Samsung clock received feedback, which obviously I could not provide (I do not have enough knowledge for this). Good. We remove the "guts" from the docking station, and instead of the usual scheme we put the card from the universal wireless charging (also bought from China), only solder the transmitter coil from the station. The feedback from the docking station was realized simply at the on / off level, because of the reed switch (in the hours set by the magnet) that the charging will not work at idle, when there were no clocks, turned on the clock, switched off, turned off.

The receiver decided to connect not directly to the BMS battery, although I really wanted it, everything is available, take it and solder it. But with a high degree of probability, the charge indicator will not be excluded, which is not very good. Therefore, the eyes are afraid, and the hands are made, it is useful to disassemble the clock that will fall on the contacts of the power connector. In fact, everything turned out not so scary, you just need to remove the battery and carefully remove the black plastic frame that clings to both sides of the dog on the body. Very gently bend it to the side, trying not to tear off the loop of the pulse counter and the wire of the vibro and the microphone. Completely remove this is not necessary, it is enough just to raise, and here they have power contacts. We solder the wires and collect everything back.

I see our partition “/system/vendor” 1.3G size
[MENTION=6298645]erfanoabdi[/MENTION]
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'm curious. What good would some self-hacked Treble do unless LG gives it to us? LG isn't going to say, "Oh XDA users made a Treble for V30. We'll use that to give them faster updates." No, they will keep giving us updates THEIR way.

Tell me what else Treble is good for? Nothing for the V30, that I can think of.

Treble is designed to theoretically give faster updates from the manufacturer/carrier. Treble only affects custom ROMs and devs if you have bootloader unlocked device with a way to get root. And right now those are open market US998 V30, European H930, and European H930G -- because those are the ones approved by LG. And those already have ROMs, TWRP, etc because they are bootloader unlocked and have full flash commands.

So...

Self-hacked Treble won't help the variants that don't have bootloader unlock and/or full flash commands.

And Treble would only help the three LG Developer website variants by possibly giving them AOSP ROMs. At the expense of losing quad DAC and AI camera functionality.

Please tell me what I am not understanding or missing?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
We can, and we will, eventually ?

First need to find out what causes my los15.1 to be so unstable (the rest all works... cam, nfc, audio, ril, bt, wifi,...)

Have the same problem on all aosp based roms (tried LOS and GZOSP so far), so its either device tree, blobs or kernel fault

afterwards i can try to get a real vendor partition (repartitioning basically, possible on the g6/5/v20, so hopefully for us too)

And then some Treble, after i haxed some blobs that force link to /system instead of using the linker ... ? (e.g. vibrator has 2 libs that do that, and some others that search configs only in /system/etc )

Atleast thats the plan so far....

I personally dont care about the AI cam, but DAC is possible, with enough work, according to rashed atleast ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Is there a thread discussing, how and if the DAC is possible that you can link here please
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] liushangrong:
I own the US998 and I want to get high pitches to get AOSP ROMs (I believe many people would also like to get). I don't have the ability to get it. But I am looking forward to it! In the future there will certainly be an AI camera running on Aosp (perhaps not as good as LG). The DAC will also have a balance, maybe.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] liushangrong:
Looking forward, this means that there will be more AOSP ROMs. I am willing to pay for this. Because other people can do nothing.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
Working on this same ******* bug for over a month now, ask many other devs with more experience... Nobody has a clue wth is going wrong there xD

Logs are basically empty, theres no pstore/ramoops created either... .-.

all im doing is guessing here..... and that not really successful xD
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
This is EXACTLY what Treble is good for, but you misunderstand. On a device that natively supports Treble, it is insanely easy to build AOSP with everything working just like the stock ROM.

Now, on a phone that you can hack it in, if you get it working ONCE, then you can pretty much upgrade to new versions of AOSP and still have a fully functional phone -- THAT is why you would want to convert a phone to Treble. Hack hard once, and enjoy it for the long run ;)

You are correct that you need a rooted phone to take advantage of it. Even phones that ship with Treble are pretty much useless -- because as you said, they still don't ship updates in a timely manner, and if you don't have an unlocked bootloader with full fastboot, then you won't be getting AOSP.

Treble is awesome, don't think that it isn't. However, it is only awesome on developer friendly phones.

TL;DR: Hacking in Treble support on the H930/G and US998 is most definitely worth the effort in the long run. You can bet your rear that I will be hacking it into the V20 *IF* LG doesn't break the engineering aboot with the Oreo update.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
Exactly, and about the V20, i think (on discord) rashed mentioned something about treble for the g6/5/v20, and that its almost done

also something about repartitioning ?

Might wanna work with him?

btw, you dont have by chance a clue what could cause my issues stated above ??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You said it in a way better than me.

I'm very skeptical Treble will give much faster updates from carriers/OEMs to non-rooted phones, when they have no financial incentive to provide faster updates. In fact, one regional carrier I used to be with basically said "You want a new OS, then you need buy a new phone."
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Yep .. disposable phones.

Hopefully in Treble 2.0, Google will require an update mechanism be in place for users to pull (or Google to push) OS updates directly. Then having a rooted phone is just a bonus, but not needed to get timely updates.

If you look at the updates that are pushed to phones currently, the firmware is actually updated very rarely, and it is mainly the modem.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] n4rcus:
12 hours of SOT is now a memory of a far away past.

I used to score 4-6 hours of SOT in heavy usage, and even 8-12 watching movies, messaging and web browsing.

But now I can barely reach the 4 hours mark, it usually stays between 2 hours (just gaming) and 4:30 (Netflix, web...)

Sometimes I don't really mind getting just a few hours of SOT, but it is really sad looking at the past and remembering that plenty of juice I could squeeze out of this device.

Did also your device got this battery capacity decay? If yes, did a battery replacement actually did something (are the batteries available on sites like AliExpress good enough)?.

Is it really a battery problem or is it a crappy Oreo battery management thing?

PS: I've been using this device for about 1 year and a half.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] IchRocke:
I've been experimenting on Oreo and while Doze mode works really well (1% loss by night) I feel that overall battery management is awful, especially when browsing YouTube for instance where I also get 4h SOT max.

I also got my RN3 about 2y ago and battery decay is important due to my heavy usage, with Accu battery I can say that I have no lost about 1/4 battery (3200mah MAX...) But that alone can't explain the SOT loss.

Too bad there isn't any service center in my country I could use a new battery at least for the 1h more that it could give me.

I need to get a new phone. My current Nexus 6 can barley keep a charge and is very sluggish. I have a chance to get a PH-1 for $280 outright or $240 for sprint version vs getting a Pixel 2 XL for $600. Basically the pixel is more than double the price. I am on Verizon and don;t have many other options for phones that can be easily rooted and bootloader unlocked. I have been reading this forum and most everyone likes their PH-1 except the camera. Is the Camera that bad? How much better is it now with newer software? Google Camera port? Is their anything that would steer me clear from this phone? Money is tight and I really can't afford to spend that much more money if I don't to. Saying that I don't want to buy the PH-1 and hating it only to spend more money to get something else. As for the Sprint version of the phone, I have read it takes only 2 files to unlock it then I read you can't, which on is it? Should I spend the extra $40 to get the non-sprint version?

I know I asked many questions and all your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

A big factor is size. I came from the OG pixel (non xl) and I have fallen in love with the size of this phone. The pixel 2 xl I hear is a little tall. It's about as tall as the the nexus 6 actually. However for 280 I can't think of a better deal.. I got mine for 350 and it is a hell of a lot of phone for the price. Just use the Google camera port for sure though
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I'm on Verizon and the phone works great.

I don't have any real complaints about the camera and the ability to have a 360 camera is great.

People seem to want DSLR quality from a smart phone. I don't I expect smartphone/point and shoot quality and it meets that.

Is is better than the iPhoneX? I don't know.

Is it better than the Nexus 6P that I had previously? Yep.

I keep a mirrorless APS-C camera in the car. So for me, the phone is a last resort for pics.

Sorry OP, may I borrow your post and make a question too?

I have a Mate 10 Pro, I had the chance to use the Essential Phone for one day.

I know that we can't judge anything with one day but... The Essential Phone felt a little lagging compared to my Mate 10 Pro. One note I have to say is that the Essential was on 8.0.0 (I guess) and not the latest 8.1 update.

So I ask: Isn't the Essential Phone a little slow compared to the others flagships? The camera is a good example to say.

(And I've heard that the Pixel 2 (XL) is one of the fastest smartphone period.)

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
If having the bootloader unlocked and rooting is important to you what about ROM or kernel development? There is almost no development for the Essential. After a year on the market only two custom ROMs that I know of officially support this phone--AOSP and Carbon. Yes, you can unlock the bootloader but the development community is almost non-existent.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Twrp is weird on this phone, you cant install it permanently. You'll need to always be near a computer if you want to install anything. Screen has lackluster touch response, smoothness is hit or miss with the jitteriness. Edge detection could be improved. Don't have a pixel but I'd recommend it over the essential.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
TWRP is not weird on this phone.

The boot holds the recovery also.

This just means that the custom recovery must be integrated into boot image.

The phone has to complete boot/os setups. The makes sure that you can always recover and you can update the OS white the phone is running.

As far as jitter. A fix is in the developer options in 8.1.

I don't have any touch response issues and the overall device is much better than a Pixel (IMHO).
