[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] OrionSilver:
My Samsung Galaxy S8+ SM-G955U1 XAA factory unlocked version has been stuck in a recovery mode bootloop since I tried to follow the SamPWND root method for it, I followed the instructions but the flash failed at the very start, and since I ticked NAND erase like the instruction had said to, Recovery Mode has lost all it's data, there is no option to wipe, factory restore, ect.

I have contacted Samsung and will probably be sending it in to have them repair it, but I wanted to ask and see if anyone could help me with this issue before then.

I have attempted to flash the stock firmware onto it multiple times, making sure to leave the default flash options the way they are, and I can get CP to flash without a problem, but BL, AP, and CSC fail within just seconds and I don't know if I'm going about it the wrong way or if there's nothing I can do but to send it in, I've searched for other threads but haven't yet found anyone with the same phone as me with the same problem.

I did make a backup of my phone with Samsung Smart Switch, but when I try to use it to possibly restore my phone, it tells me that it's an unsupported device.

I appreciate any help and advice that you guys can give me.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] elight3:
For the past week or two, I've been unable to send MMS pictures. I am on T-Mobile and use Wi-Fi calling. Problem happens both with Textra (tried every MMS mode) and stock Messages.

Interestingly, if I turn on airplane mode and then turn wifi back on manually, MMS works. So maybe some sort of T-Mobile or mobile data conflict? I have Smart Switch off and also turned off the debugging tool option to keep mobile data on while on wifi.

I've tried manually adding a new APN, pulling and re-inserting my SIM, restoring APN to default... Anyone have any other ideas?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] elight3:
FWIW, I think I solved the issue. After trying every solution I could find, I got the feeling that maybe there was a developer option that was toggled that was causing this (I've certainly played with them in the past). So, I just turned all of the developer options off, and suddenly the issue is gone. I turned them back on (which apparently resets them all) and toggled the ones that are necessary - OEM bootloader unlocking, advanced reboot, USB debugging, etc. - and everything still seems good. Hope this helps others with the same issue.

The settings allow you to lower the resolution. I lowered the resolution to 2340 x 1080 and I don't really notice anything different.... Would this increase battery life? If so, how much?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] misal6666:
It will definitely increase battery life.

How much will it increase depends on your usage and your apps installed. It should at max give you 10% increase.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
It is well and widely known that lowering resolution won't give you increased battery life. At all

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] id3alistic:
Ah thanks. I come from an xperia z3 so been using FHD screens only. I was interested in the XZ1 compact back then and one of the key points from reviewers is that the lower screen resolution(720p) saved a lot more battery vs the XZ1 at 1080p.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
I think the misconception is lowering the screen resolution vs a device that maxes out at a lower resolution. Maybe it makes a difference for OLEDs...but for LCD screens, all if the pixels are still illuminated, so there's not much difference there.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] 20degrees:
Sounds convincing and makes sense. I wonder why they'd allow it on this device though?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
Because Samsung's can do it.

Nothing but hype for the misinformed and ill-advised.

[Dopey voice]"Bruh...look what my phone can do to save battery life. Can yours?" [/Dopey voice]
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Nirrik:
Using lower resolutions use less power bc they use less gpu computational power. Youre not saving anything really from the screen itself. Think of it this way does your computer/laptop use more power running resource intensive applications or running idle?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
As one said here it's from misinformed people.

Not that the resolution that saved power. If Sony could put their 3840x2160 resolution display into 4.3" size of XZ1 compact it still would run longer on battery than any 6.5" sized phone from similar battery even with 720p display. Because it's sheer size of screen that saves battery, not the resolution. 4.3" vs 6.5" is hefty difference. One needs more light to make 6.5" display emit light than to make 4.3" one hence one need more power.

Think about it this way, if resolution would matter then XZ Premium and XZ2 Premium would drain their batteries in a matter of minutes with 3840x2160 res displays. Right? But they work almost as long as say Galaxy S9 Plus or Note 8.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

It not works like that. When your phone renders picture in 720p or 1080p it doesn't do it sitting idle. It still consumes power when rendering picture 60 times a sec. And its GPU still runs at 200MHz, maybe it needs like 230 or 250MHz for rendering picture in 1440p but is 250MHz vs 200 MHz a huge difference? I doubt it

It's not like 1440 picture rendering needs full GPU power but 720p or 1080p can be powered by idle GPU. Never was, never will. Ask devs in http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking if in doubt
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
In reality ability to pick your resolution for battery life is a gimmick and doesn't really do anything.

There were no proofs that phones live longer from same charge when it's resolution lowered. Maybe it works for constant gaming, like playing games in 720p on a 1440p screen will bump battery life. But in other cases no
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] romeokk:
Taking only power consumption from the display alone, there is no different between HD, FHQ, QHD. The different is that if a game or any apps(or even system app itselfs) runs at HD, it will need less graphic computational power than running at QHD (once again, its not about the drainage from the display, its from GPU).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
in reality, it's bull****. learn how GPU works. Try to ask Google devs if you don't know. They do habitate here, at XDA

It's not like it renders something and then goes to sleep turning cores off as CPU does. Instead GPU renders frame 60 times a sec and uses 203MHz either your resolution is 720p or 1080p. It can't lower frequency to 100MHz magically because it's not designed that way. So it consumes as much power working at 203MHz either rendering 720p frames or rendering 1080p frames.

Hence no battery economy achieved

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikael1013:
Hi everybody. For this tutorial you only need a custom ROM with fling nav bar option to navigate. I use FrankenROM but can work in every custom ROM with Fling implemented.​

1-Go to navigation bar configuration in the settings menu and set fling like your navbar.

2-Open fling settings and set the follow configuration (or set like you want):

Swipe gestures

-Right short: last application.

-Left short: back (can't be changed)

-Right long: recent apps

-Left long: without action

-Right side Up: Nova Launcher: app box (optional)

-Left side up: without action

Tap gesture

-Tap right: without action

-Tap left: home (can't be changed)

-Double right: without action

-Double left: without action

-Long press right: Google Assistant

-Long press left: Google Assistant

In appearance you can set the pill icon that I leave in the attachment files. Only set it in custom logo image.

And it's done, now you can enjoy the new Android navbar gestures without install nothing and very customisable.​

Hey

I have a fire TV 1st Gen it's unlocked bootloader running latest pre rooted Rom. Looking to flash back to stock but don't know how to. Could not find any guides☹️
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razvanwin95:
Hello dear users,

I`m facing a very big problem with my g955f. For a while i had 7.0 on my device but yesterday i decided i should update to 8.0. I flashed the latest 8.0 stock (BL, AP, CP, CSC) from sammobile and everything worked great. Problem appeared when i tried to install supersu and it got into a bootloop. I flashed again 8.0, this time without BL because i've got the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIN(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1". After device booted up there was NO IMEI...s'o i think something happened with efs partition. Then i tried a fix from another thread and now i get "efs mount failed (invalid argument) after i flash a rom and the phone restarts".

I know i know, i should have made a backup...

The question is, does anybody know how to solve this problem ? Maybe from where to get an efs dump (even with IMEI 000....)

sorry, my english may not be so good

Thank you !

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razvanwin95:
Oreo comes with U2 version of bootloader. This means you can`t use combination files that have been made for 7.0 bootloader (U1). Yesterday i found a combination file for U2 version. I'll share the link with you but right now i'm at work and i don`t find that link. When i'll be at home(8hours) i'll post the link here(i saved it in bookmarks). Chances for recovering your imei are very high i think. Until then please don't make something stupid with your phone like i did....

LE: if the phone is booting up then i think your efs is just corrupted
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paolol788:
I hope you´re rigth i find this file to download https://shell.boxwares.com/Download.aspx?L=6583. i´m downloading it. So the thing that boot up can mean that is only corrupted? is there a way to be shure? and if it´s corrupted, can be fixed with the combination file? Sorry for all the questions but im desesperate
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razvanwin95:
Yeah....i`m desperate too....i messed up an expensive and a high end phone.....but that's it....we're learning from our own mistakes :)). I think that is the file i'm saying (check if it has "U2" in its name). Download it, flash it with odin (put the file in AP), wait until the flashing process is done and that "gears screen" is on, and wait. After that flash the stock 8.0 oreo and the imei should be back. Hope this helps you. I can't give you an exact method to see if efs is corrupted or deleted.....like you i'm a newbie with all this architecture of android...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paolol788:
I used the combination file and show me the imei so i think it was just corrupted. But when i try to flash stock in odyn https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444 this version, it says device 2 binarie 1 error. So flash without check BL. But then the device doesnt boot and gets stuck in first screen. What can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razvanwin95:
There`s nothing you can do. Your only option is to stay with 8.0. You can't downgrade the bootloader from U2 or U1 because U2 security policies seems to not be ok with this :)). I left my device at a service twenty minutes ago to reflash an efs dump from another 955f....hope they will make it.... anyway, congrats for reviving your device
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paolol788:
But how can i do to flash stock version? i need the last official version? what does the device 2 binarie 1 problem means?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razvanwin95:
This message means that your actual bootloader version is newer than the one you want to flash and because security policies you can`t flash an older version. You'll have to flash latest stock 8.0 (bl,ap,cp,csc).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paolol788:

Do not share efs backups as they contain device specific to you information...

Plus this would render his device useless modem bricked. As again the imei information is pendant on each individual device with a specific special certificate number bassicly. If it does not match his device it will not work....

Again I have been in this situation. And I used a paid service the first time to fix mine but I have my box and all of my info wrote down and I had a backup that would still not restore the cert file.

Your case sounds like a wrong baseband or firmware. Like mine was gone no backup or nothing.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Let me break it down for you. You cant use any other EFS files from other devices. The EFS contains things like IMEI and other device spicific things. Also as this deals with the IMEI, the only 2 acceptable ways to fix this on XDA (do to messing with the IMEI files being illegal in many countries) is restore the backup you should have made when ever you mess with your device. OR you send it in to the OEM at which point they will charge you for a new board.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Groenewaldt:
Reply

Is there a legal way to obtain a EFS file?

So flashing a correct EFS.tar wouldn't fix my problem?

I didn't make a back up of my EFS. What I did was erase my EFS through Odin V3.12.7 option, clear EFS. Thinking this would fix an oem block or imei block
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
The only people that will have it is Samsung and like I said, it is different from one device to another. I wouldn't count on them holding on the the files outside of a data base of imei numbers.

There is no correct tar as the correct one would have had to come from your device.

Sometimes flashing a full software will bring it back but normally not.

No there is no legal way (depending on country) (mind you there are other options but I will not talk about it as per xda rules)
