[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Just a quick update on recovering my Note 8. I went to the following link, because your link is apparently not active anymore. Anyway, when I installed SamFirm v0.3.6.0, I entered SM-N950F/DS and TMB as my model and region. It didn't work, so I searched for the UAB CSC and entered XSG. That didn't work either, so I changed the model to just SM-N950F and used it with XSG. It was able to locate the correct file. It's hard to fathom the unbelievable work that predecessors have done to give us the capabilities we enjoy now. Once I download this 4147 MB file, I'll use Odin to program my Note 8 and get back to square uno. Then it's just a matter of time. I really appreciate your help here, and I know you appreciate your predecessor's help. I do too!

Edit: I was able to use Odin to download and install the stock ROM file I downloaded using Samfirm. When I rebooted, I expected the same OS that the phone came with. Instead, I can't determine what OS I have, because I get a GUI with nothing. I've been able to run apps, though, using the edge panel. However, I cannot get to Settings so I can turn on USB Debugging and transfer files so I can install TWRP.

Another weird thing is that it seems like I have all the apps and data from the previous DeluxeROM v9.3 install. I just can't call up the apps except a very few. I think I need to find a way to wipe the cache and other partitions from the internal SD card. I've removed the dual sim holder, which holds my MVNO SIM and a 128 GB micro SD card.

Edit: I fired up Odin3 v 3.12 and included BL, AP, CP and CSC (Home_CSC) files. Then I put my Note 8 into Download mode. I hit Start on Odin3 and it quickly flashed a bunch of messages, of which the last one was <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1/failed 0).

However, my Note 8 went right back into the loop where it tries to come up but instead flashes the message "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock." I can't seem to get my phone out of this loop, even when I download the stock OS image. Any suggestions anyone?

Edit: the problem was that I was trying to install the stock ROM image while the Note 8 was on my Tylt Vu wireless charger. It provides a 45 degree pedestal for easy viewing, so I was charging and downloading simultaneously. Apparently the downloader doesn't like this. I removed it and the download went smoothly; however, when I fired it up, it doesn't look like my original stock ROM! Instead, it remembers much of my previous data, like my SwiftKey Weatherbug and a few other apps, plus my PIN. I guess it got this from the internal SD card, which wasn't wiped. Now to go install TWRP and then DeluxeROM v9.3 full Restore.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
The Restore did NOT work. Using Samfirm, I downloaded the stock ROM to my Note 8. When I powered it on, it came up in a weird config where there were absolutely no apps except 2. That's not the stock ROM I saw when I first powered on my UAE Note 8.

So I did a factory reset and lo and behold, it came up with the stock ROM OS, but all of my apps were still there. I thought factory resets were supposed to clean the slate. I haven't done any type of wipe, but I didn't think I needed to.

So then I tried to download TWRP so I could Restore to v9.3, but I couldn't get the phone to do a proper recovery. If I VOL UP/Bixby/Power, I get a green Android and the message "Installing system update," then a fallen green Android followed by message "No command." Then it goes in to Android Recovery. It lists 10 functions I can do 1) Reboot system now, 2) Reboot to bootloader, 3) Apply update from ADB, 4) Apply update from SD card, 5) Wipe data factory reset (I did this earlier per above), 6) Wipe cache partition, 7) Mount /system, 8) View recovery logs, 9) Run graphics test and 10) Power off.

But at the bottom, I get the following status messages:

#fail to open recover_cause(No such file or directory)#

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#

Support SINGLE-SKU

File-Based OTA

Supported API: 3

# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0.00

remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttOqo_ATTIqi_ATT'(No such file or directory)

Succcessfully verified dmverity hash tree

When I select Apply update from ADB, it repeats itself by displaying the green Android and the message "Installing system update," then a fallen green Android followed by message "No command." I can never get it so that I can install TWRP through ADB from my W10 computer.

Any ideas or comments?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
1. That's the whole problem. I don't have TWRP installed anymore, and the recovery in the phone doesn't allow me to install TWRP via ADB. So far the only thing I think I can do is put it into download mode like how I used Sanfirm to install the stock ROM. If I can use download mode to install TWRP, then I can use TWRP to wipe everything and install DeluxeROM v9.3 on my external SD card. I'm dying to do that and then install v9.4, because according to Abraham's post, it comes with Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE!

2. I am not a Telegram user. I don't know what Telegram is but let me research it and get back to you. If you want to move this to another venue, send me an email to my bogus email address "henador_titzoff@yahoo.com" and put TELEGRAM in the subject line; otherwise, advise me here please. TYVM.

First error: odin v3.12

You have to use Odin v3.13.1 (wondering it really worked with v3.12)

Second error: home csc

For a full wipe back to stock Rom, you have to use the CSC ( the 'home csc' will make a dirty flash and leave all your data files and internal storage)

Third error: removed SIM card

You should leave your SIM card into the slot so the firmware will detect it on first boot and install the correct csc for your provider.

It's normal that your TWRP is gone. The stock recovery is a part of the stock firmware and you have flashed it.

You need to flash it with Odin again. Including the no verity opt file to decrypt your data partition. And the rm-state fix. (Or flash a custom kernel that includes that files.)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Okay, I did it again and used Odin v3.13.1. This time the stock ROM did come alive, but I didn't know I had to use CSC instead of home CSC. I again used Odin v3.13.1 and flashed TWRP successfully. After I booted into TWRP, I Restored a 2018/11/02 version of v9.3., but I had problems mounting the data partitition. I overcame it by formatting it from ext4 to ext3 and then back to ext4. After that, the Restore went well, and I got v9.3 back. I forgot about no verity opt file.

Now here is a new problem. My OS can't detect my SIM card. I'm still able to use my text app Signal Private Messenger (SPM), but it works through either cell data channel or Wi-Fi. Since the phone can't detect my SIM card, I assume it knows the number somehow and connects to the Open Whispers server to give me text capability. Can you think of any reason why my Note 8 can't detect the SIM card?

I really don't know why it don't detect your SIM card. Is your IMEI correct showing? Have you selected the correct CSC? Have you tried to make a format factory reset after flash back to stock firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
Which CSC code is ORX? Is it universal? I cannot get VoLTE to work with NEE CSC code, which I find utterly odd....

\Bud

EDIT: I found out ... it's Slovakia, so it's not universal. I'll try I go with the OXM code and see if it can bring me VoLTE to work :).

\Bud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rajec:
ORX is the unbounded CSC of my country. Slovakia, not from the operator. Free sale
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
My IMEI is showing correctly. I've been experimenting a lot and there is only one piece of good news. It is that when I flash the Samfirm provided stock ROM, everything comes up okay. It goes through the original set up, starting out in French, and I change it to English. It even updates itself to October 1, 2018. And it has tons of CSCs for me to choose from, just like when I got the phone virgin new. I have not done a factory data reset after flashing back to this stock ROM. Is there a need to - I am at virgin stock already.

So here's the deal. When I do a Restore using TWRP, I get a restore all right, but it goes right back to the same ol' no CSC, no Mobile phone connection. I've tried all sorts of things, like using TWRP to format everything except the ext SD card, installing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 to decrypt the data partition. I've tried to restore v9.3 several times and throwing several switches in TWRP with no luck getting back the CSC and mobile connection. I even tried installing v9.4 by doing a complete wipe, and it hangs up during the Aroma install. I can't remember exactly what the error is (twice), but it has to do with failure to syslink. I saved the log, so I can get the info, but after that failure, Aroma quits and it goes back to TWRP. At that point, I'm left without an OS, so I have to reinstall the Samfirm stock OS again. That's where I am now, because I need the phone for calls and texts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
Have you tried downloading cscselection_sm950f_v2.0.0_0_final.zip

Try to find that on xda and flash it in twrp.... Gives you tonnes of CSC's to choose from.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I haven't tried flashing cscselection_sm950f_v2.0.0_0_final.zip. I've been trying a lot of stuff to see if I can get back my CSC and in particular, the ability to use my phone. When I go to Connections, there is no entry called "Mobile networks." In other words, I can't even get into Access Point Names!

Right now I'm on the stock ROM furnished by Samfirm, and I'm getting phone and text service. I have to sit tight with this for a couple of days just to catch up with my voicemails and texts. My next goal is to quit ***** footin' around and load DeluxeROM v9.4 directly, because it has Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE. Before, I had to flash DETONATOR to get it. I would like to figure out why I got that synlink error during Aroma set up. If I can get through Aroma properly, I can load v9.4 and see what I get. When I installed v9.4, I did a complete wipe, but it still got the error.

Why Did DeluxeROM v8.4 Aroma Installer Fail?

I've been trying to solve a problem where Connections -> Mobile networks suddenly disappeared. I was on v9.3 when it happened. I've been trying to fix it for 4 days now, and today I again flashed my Note 8 stock ROM using a Samfirm file assigned to my SM-N950F Note 8. It all went well, and Mobile networks appearned, and I was able to choose the correct CSC (I chose the CSC file, not Home CSC file, when flashing the 4 files using Odin v3.13.1. I then powered down and came back up in Download mode to flash TWRP using Odin v3.13.1. In TWRP, I did a complete wipe, then tried to install DeluxeROM v9.4. This is where the following error stopped my flashing. The following lines are from the file whose link below points to. It is a log file.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AbrahamGC:
Make sure you have latest TWRP and check if that Read-Only is enabled on Mount (it shouldn't).

Using your amazing rom. Sadly missing spectrum support in ur deluxe kernel. Can you pls add that spectrum support into ur kernel and make a separate flashable zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
You can alternatively go with Phantom Kernel, mate ... just updated a couple of days ago with full Spectrum support!

\Bud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
The TWRP I'm using is "twrp-3.2.3-0-greatlte.img." I did make the mistake of checking Read Only when I got the symlink errors. It was a vain attempt to get a successful flash. I've tried many switches, only to fail each time. I suspect there is a switch thrown elsewhere, deep in my bootloader or somewhere that the stock ROM doesn't touch. I'm not really sure, but I'll try again this weekend.

Question: do I need an earlier version of DeluxeROM v9.x in order to install v9.4, or can v9.4 be installed fully with a complete wipe? I've tried installing v9.4 with complete wipe after I installed the stock ROM with no success.

I don't like that kernel as that has brightness issues. Default low brightness isn't what I want.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Okay, great. Now as I prepare to overwrite my Samfirm supplied stock ROM with v9.4 this weekend, I'm going to do a full wipe and not click on the Read Only switch that TWRP shows when it's first fired up. But do I have to install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 or any other files, and if I do when do I install them? Do I install them before or after I flash v9.4? I'm counting on v9.4 to supply me with a CSC or set of CSCs, plus Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE. If I don't get Wi-Fi Calling or VoLTE, I will install DETONATOR, but I need that CSC so I get Mobile networks in Connections setting; otherwise, I'm back to the SOS.

Hi.

If you follow this thread in detail, you will have no issues with anything. Also yes DO flash "install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0" - guide-how-to-root-note8-efs-backup

Another one is /data mount issues, if rom auto reboots after install make sure you boot it to recovery and install this then reboot to rom. - fix-twrp-data-mount-issue-oreo

If you read and follow all as instructed you will be golden as for the CSC idk.

I followed your instructions above and finally installed TWRP 3.2.3-0, DeluxseROM v9.4 and Magisk v17.1. When DeluxeROM came up after the Aroma install, it indeed did have several CSCs, of which my CSC was selected (by Aroma earlier). Therefore, I have one of three objectives accomplished, and the CSC install is very important as it gives me Connections -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.

I didn't get the other two objectives: Connections -More connections settings -> Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE. Abraham post on page 1 under ROM features says "-- Added toggles VoLTE, wificall, UHQ, DRC, SmartManager, user, Applock." I do not see it automatically under Settings -> Settings DeluxeRom -> DeluxeRomControl -> ?. Does anyone know where the toggles are?

I do have an out using DETONATOR if I have to, but I'd rather learn how to do it with Abraham's toggles. Thanks everyone for helping me out. I'm finally crawling out of a hole of which I don't understand how I got into, but ammisr, Logel, Abraham, BudHorn and FdeKlerk posts were collectively very helpful.

Question: In DeluxeRomControl, what is Speedmetter? I can select Information to show as upload, download or both. Should it be Speedmeter and Show in bytes (English version)?

Here is how it worked for me. 》》》

First of all i uninstalled the Samsung Weather app using Titanium (u can use any other system app remover app too) then downloaded the new Samsung Weather apk from Apk Mirror and installed it manually (I copied the new app and pasted it into Device》System》App folder. I changed the permissions like(rw-r-r). After that i rebooted my note 8.

Now i've not a single System UI Crash since i rebooted the device.

Hope it helps to the others too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Just out of curiosity, why are you guys messing with the Samsung Weather app? Why not disable it and go with a Play Store app? I always install Weatherbug and done with it. Is there something unique aboiut the Samsung Weather app that you appreciate? Possibly no ads? I'd like to know, because I have something called Weather in Connections -> Apps, but I don't see its icon in the GUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Blue.Child:
Its not about the Samsung Weather app. Its about the UI Crash issue, what I think could relate to this default app. You have two options either disable it or uninstall. You can use any other weather app too. Its depend on your choice.

The default Samsung Weather app is iconless, you can only find it with a system app remover app. Just type weather and you will see it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I found this app in my Settings -> Apps list, and I told it to unhide its icon. It was actually there all the time, and it hasn't caused me any problems. I now have two weather apps, the other one being Weatherbug. I like both, but the reason I use Weatherbug is because it can show precipitation maps, which is crucial for me to predict what the weather will be like. For example, if I see a cold front line of storms and which way they're moving, I can predict we'll have rain here soon, but cold dry weather after it passes. I don't think the Samsung Weather app has this feature.

I must have not Aroma installed Adaway app, because I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me where to find this app? There's a bunch of wannabes in the Google Play Store.
