[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Here's a link to another thread. There's an Odin link in the OP that you have to use to flash the firmware. Just make sure the firmware levels matches. Please do some research into how to flash Samsung phones. It's the exact same process for the Note 9(so far), as it is for the Note 8.

LINK FOR ODIN FLASHING NOTE 9 FIRMWARE: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/stock-sm-n960u1-usa-unlocked-firmware-t3833566

DONE

EDIT/UPDATE:

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING THE BELOW WRITING POINTS TO!!!!!!!

GUIDE YOU CAN CHERRY PICK FOLLOW:

Here's a guide on the process for flashing unlocked firmware. THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY IF THE FILES THIS BELOW INFORMATION MAY POINT TO!

Flashing Unlocked Firmware:

Disclaimer - Flashing Unlocked Firmwares will not unlock your device.

***Note - Using Prince Comsy's Odin is not blocked - End Note***

Note - If you are flashing Unlocked Firmware from Carrier Firmware you must use Prince Comsy Odin otherwise, use regular Odin.

All SM-N950U1 Firmwares are unlocked and you may have better connectivity by flashing your carrier's, ATT, CCT, SPR, TMB, USC, or VZW, version of Unlocked Firmware.

XAA is Factory Unlocked Firmware and will work on all US carriers.

Some carrier features may not work on Unlocked Firmware without modifications.

*Downloads are in OP*
​

Steps:​

Step 1 - Turn OFF your Galaxy Note 8.

Step 2 - Press and hold the Volume Down + Bixby + Power Buttons.

Step 3 - After the Samsung logo, you will see a screen with a warning sign. Proceed ahead by pressing the Volume Up button.

You are in the Download Mode. If you want to get out of it, simply hold the Volume Up and Power buttons for a few seconds (around 10 sec.) and your phone will reboot normally.

Step 4 – Navigate to extracted Odin or Prince Comsy Odin folder and right click on the .exe, select Run as administrator.

Step 5 – Connect your device via USB, Odin output should read "Added!!".

Step 6 – Add extracted firmware files (your carrier version of Unlocked or XAA) in the Odin sections appropriately, BL for BL, AP for AP, CP for CP, CSC for CSC (not HOME_CSC).

Step 7 – Ensure that only “Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are selected under the options tab.

Step 8 – Click log tab and then click the Start button on the bottom right.

Step 9 – Output should be shown in the log, take a break for a few….

Step 10 – If the flash is successful, the top left box will become green and will read PASS.

Your Device can be disconnected..*IT WILL BE ERASED*.

Errors - Failed, SHA256? - Try again after editing config file for UMS/patch from 0 to 1 for USERDATA to write as well as using Prince Comsy's Odin. If it keeps failing, re-download Firmware and try again. You may also need to boot to Recovery and perform Factory Reset before trying again.

*If you are going to proceed to flash carrier CSC and USERDATA files for carrier functions, please make sure that they are from the appropriate SM-N950U carrier before proceeding...*

**If any functions or system apps seem glitchy, you may benefit from a factory reset**

I did some searching around and found out what was needed. It has been awhile since I was on the samsung train. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Good deal. I was in the middle of editing my post. See above for more added information.

Technically from what I have seen so far, the process are exactly the same, just different file names. Good luck!?

And kudos for doing some research man, that's hard to find around xda these days.??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] badger101:
Yup very similar process. It is nice having all this bloatware off the phone. I ended up using a patched verison of odin.

I like to do my own searching around, I prematurely made that first post. XDA has a lot of information I must say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
So it did remove the bloat for you then?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] badger101:
Yep no Verizon crap along with the 100+ apps they had included. There are a few I will be removing with ADB including the Bixby crap. It is worth noting there is an app that supports the note 9 now so the button can be "remaped"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
I wish all users knew how to use the search feature on XDA. Lol.

Take your time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] badger101:
Right? Google helped out a bit too. Haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Nice, glad to hear it worked for you. I might give it a flash but I think I may lose wifi calling from tmobile. Luckily the only bloat tmobile puts on their devices is their app, visual voicemail, TV app, and name id. So not too bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] badger101:
May want to read up on that I believe I lost that on verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Xenshen:
You won't lose wifi calling after like 15 mins wifi calling appeared for me. I have tmobile and I flashed from us cellular

It's funny how the unlocked version has some small things not available , shutter sound can't be disabled, sms no swiping left or right option, Rich text message not available just a few that comes to mind.

[General Questions and Answers] [Lemmy]:
Hi,

I want to lock down a phone, so that:

- i have control over which applications can do data traffic

- which numbers can be called

- who can call

the first part's easy, root and afwall+ and that is that.

The part that right now has me stumped is the rest, I'd like to set something up so that only contacts from the address book can be called, and calls without caller ID get rejected. Also, no international calls at all.

I do not want to rely on "call barring" or the likes, that requires the numbers that are allowed to actually be on the sim card, which means I don't have the ability to add numbers to the list without having the phone in my hands... I was thinking I could use davdroid and an account on my nextcloud, then edit the contacts on the cloud web ui.

Is there a way to do it? The hardware in question is most likely going to be an older samsung. It can have lineageOS or stock samsung android installed, whatever is needed.

Cheers

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrissJonsi:
Device: LG G3 D8555

Android version: 5.0

I'm new to the rooting scene, but found magisk interesting so I wanted to try it out.

I had some issues rooting the phone, but finally got it working using "first method" of this post: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197

I then set out to install TWRP. I used this guide by xdadevelepors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZYwxBdPHxA

1. Installed the D8555 version of TWRP as seen in the image below, from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614 on to my phone

2. Installed flashify and selected the image recovery option. I chose the file from step 1.

3. Rebooted phone into recovery using quickboot, and was welcomed by a black screen and LEDs flashing red and blue. I tried going into the recovery manually by holding the power button and volume down button, then when logo appears releasing power button, and finally pressing the power button back in. This brought me the factory reset screen. I selected yes and confirmed , but this also brought me to the black screen with blue and red lights.

What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appriciated.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
Hello,

I bought a Nokia 8 Sirocco on 1st July. It updates to 8.1 with June patch right after switching it on but I'm still missing the July patch. Has anyone received the July patch OTA in Germany? If yes, which provider are you using? I'm a little bit upset because I thought Android One devices should get August patch these days. Nokia told me it depends on the operator when updates are coming. Is that true? When are updates coming to the device in general?

Best regards,

Norbert
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] MrMastodon:
I got August security update a couple of days ago. I live in Norway, but I don't see that my carrier has anything to do with the security updates..
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
I also could not believe, that security updates are provider related but that's what Nokia support told me. Did you also received the July patch before?
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Marmalux:
Hi,

I have the august security patch but i`m still on 8.0 ... weird.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
I'm still on June patch - getting more and more annoyed every day. If updates are not coming on time this device is completely overpriced and Android One is worth nothing!
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] MrMastodon:
Yeah, I got the July patch in the middle of July
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
Updates coming

Hi,

I have to withdraw my statement about the updates for the Sirocco. Nokia was correct they are provider related! My personal SIM card is from a reseller and uses O2 network (biggest Network in Germany by customer) and today there was still June patch the latest patch available for my device. Then I inserted a SIM card from Telekom (biggest network coverage in Germany) and received July and August patches just after rebooting.

I wasn't expecting that! How can it be? Are security patches still network provider related? I thought this is the big benefit of Treble that updates are provider independent? Updates are coming over WiFi - so why? :confused: Now I have to wait for the statement of my provider but I'm not confident about the answer. Maybe I have to change.

Best regards,

Norbert
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] propov:
My Sirocco is from Mediamarkt DE. I have used it with O2 SIM, and sometimes with SIM from Vivacom Bulgraia. Last week have no SIM card in. Today(7th sept.)I received August sec. patch. Android is 8.1 .
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
Mine is from MediaMarkt DE too (maybe same price deal ;)). I got a reply from my network reseller (Drillisch) today. They told me that O2 as network provider is responsible for the updates and so they couldn't help. If you search for O2 and Android updates you'll find a lot of entries with the same problem - not only in Germany, but a lot of Nokia devices. This is weird if you keep in mind that Nokia is a very small vendor today. I'm still investigating but if it remains like this I have to switch my provider.

Btw. is VoLTE working with you device?
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] MrMastodon:
VoLTE is active. I haven't noticed anything so I guess it's working...
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] propov:
And my Volte is active. But I dont now in depth what is Volte.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] MrMastodon:
VoLTE is just calling on 4G/LTE network. LTE doesn't support phonecalls over GSM and our phones will switch to 3G/2G with GSM when calling.

VoLTE is Voice Over LTE and uses data to transfer voicecall in stead of GSM.

Probably not a 100% correct description, but you get the general idea.

Just checked when calling, and VoLTE is working fine ??
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
If you see it in the options of your phone settings it should work. My settings have no VoLTE options - this means it's not available in the network. I don't know the situation in other countries but in Germany you won't get VoLTE with low price/prepaid tariffs. Only O2 is activating VoLTE for all SIM's but apparently not for reseller - even though they told the opposite.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] peddarson:
Got the August update last week too. Now the Bluetooth volume level is pretty low even though I enabled the "ignore max volume" in the developer options.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] glauner:
I just got September update - with my O2 SIM! :good: Now I'm completely confused! :confused: Big surprise for me.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Marmalux:
Yesterday i also received the september security patch. I will not install it.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
Why you don't want to install it please?
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Marmalux:
Beacuase Nokia (Hmd) refuses to unlock bootloaders. So if there will be a way to unlock it in the feature it will be based on a security bug (see the nokia 7 plus). But thoese bugs gets fixed with security updates and then you will no longer be able to unlock (again see the nokia 7 plus).
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
I see interesting!

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Didn't think that a promise of monthly security update can be something unwanted? I mean that's what draws people to buy Hmd phones no?

I currently have a HTC universal, however it isn't very practical for every day use for me so i am selling it - i currently have 4 phones in mind however i was just wondering which you thought i should get and why

Choices

xda orbit - htc p3300

spv m700 - HTC p3600 (trinity)

For their inbuilt GPS solutions (will save money)

xda trion - htc hermes - spv m3100 - vario 2

as i had the wizard and absolutely loved it

htc touch

as a last resort (imo) as i really like the phone but i've heard bad things about the screen?

anyway as i said which do you reckon and why?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
do you want 3g

do you want wifi

do you want microSd or miniSD

do you want keyboard

what screensize do you want

frontcam and back or just back

soooo many more factors to deside which phone is right for you
[General Topics] kingsizeriz:
see thats the thing

they all have wifi & bluetooth.

two have built in gps (which is a plus)

one has a keyboard (which is a plus)

just trying to figure out which people think would be best - as im really confused lol

i was going to go in today and get the first one i saw but im thinking that may not be wise :p

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
I would suggest a full wipe. Maybe something got botched during the upgrade.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] L00PST3R:
Alrighty I'll do a wipe whenever I get a chance and see if it fixes the issue.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stryver:
Maybe redownload/sideload the official image again for good measure while you're at it. If something got bonked in the system/kernel while upgrading, I don't think a wipe alone will work. Just my opinion.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] firemouz:
Hello,

how can i change the icons in EMUI 8 from round to square? In Android 8 (Oreo) must be an option to change this:

This i found in the www:

enable developer mode (on some devices)

long tap on homescreen, go to options, there must be an option "change icon shape"

On other sites there they tell about adaptive icons and that this can be changes on every Android 8 device (from round to square).

But on EMUI 8 it seems they do not have this option. How can i change this in EMUI 8? I dont want to install another Theme which square Buttons, because it looks not very good because not all icons the really square, they just have an square border and the icon is still round (see picture).

Can someone help me to change my Honor 8 with Oreo to square icons?

I didn't saw this option in my Honor 10 too. I thinking EMUI removed this possibility.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] rgbarnes:
Hi all,

So I am new to the game, I had an old(ish) phone and attempted to root the device. As some of you might have read on here before, I failed, I thought I had followed all the correct steps. I used the following steps as a guide: (from the unlockr). After attempting to install supersu I was left with a black screen. I can however access my recovery mode in bootloader, the thing is that bootloader is the only thing I can access. I cannot access my moto g4 plus via USB on windows, but for some reason I can access both internal and external memory on a mac. I can see the supersu version, my TWRP etc. I was wondering if someone could help me out, I know this has probably been posted before but I have not been able to find a possible solution as of yet. Thanks in advance
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Is your device running stock Nougat (7.0) firmware? If so, then attempting to root on the stock Nougat Motorola kernel may result in a black screen and failure to boot, which appears to be what you've experienced. What those guides generally fail to mention (as they're quite old) is that rooting on the G4/Plus running Nougat requires flashing a custom kernel before you root. Failure to do so appears to trip the anti-rooting measures built into the stock kernel. A more recent guide that I've used for a stable root on a G4 Plus is this https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918 Bear in mind you do not need root to flash custom ROMs whatsoever, just TWRP.

If you can still access TWRP, you may have a way out. One thing to try is to flash a custom kernel onto your device - ElementalX is a good choice. https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836 for ElementalX v2.0.1 for stock . Download the kernel to your computer, ensure your device is connected to your computer and booted to TWRP, and copy the custom kernel to your device. Try to flash the kernel and then see if your device boots.

If your device still fails to boot, you could try flashing the stock kernel from your backup (you did make a backup before rooting?) or if you're running a more recent OS build, I've uploaded the Feb 2018 and April 2018 security patch stock kernels here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-GUyOfb8OgzcUl1NUtHYWNIR2M To flash this in general:

a)Download the kernel boot.img to your device.

b)In TWRP, tap Install.

c)Tap Install image at the bottom of the screen.

d)Navigate to where you downloaded the boot.img and select the image file.

e)Target the image to boot (not recovery).

f)Flash, and wipe cache.

g)Reboot and see if that works.

If those don't work, restore your backup if you made one or you may have to re-flash your stock firmware - you do not have to re-lock your bootloader or wipe your device with this re-flash of the stock firmware.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] bruce7890:
That's very bad luck... I was thinking of buying this phone too...
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Laurilan:
Possible

Yes, you can still get the code and unlock your bootloader. But now you have to use third party software and pay some money. I got my code for 4 euros, that's about 5$.

You can find the instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903

You don't have to follow this guide step-by-step if you know what you're doing. And no need to download the hcu-client, as recommended by the poster. You can get your code by just using dc-unlocker.

Have a nice day!

Just to make my op more clear, I am not talking about choppy/laggy scrolling, it just just the scrolling speed which has been set to much slower, ie up until now if you made a fast swipe up the feed would scroll down really fast, now you have to make two three swipes at least in order to reach the same spot.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
If you're rooted, grab the magisk module "swap torpedo"

What this does is eliminate the usage of a swap file, which simply isn't required when you have 6GB of RAM, you can obtain RAM truth to see what's currently in use, after installing swap torpedo and a reboot it should read 0MB

This is something that any custom ROM cook would have implemented for you, but seeing as it's a massive ballache to install custom ROMs on the Pro, most people are missing these tweaks that would normally be taken for granted.

Not hard to root if your bootloader is unlocked so give it a shot.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] d4v0r:
Looks like noone understands what you wrote, but I do, and I feel your pain.

Scrolling is significantly slower, it feels heavy. It is more smooth, but it doesn't "glide" nicely, it requires much more effort.

I noticed it instantly after the .152 update (L29 C432) and I'm looking for a solution since.
