CPW i think are fulfilling and have in the past fulfilled ALL sammy uk orders. Just means their own batch allocation has stock. Their stock indicator system is fairly accurate so if they promise 24th it will be delivered 24th.

CPW will not sell the Dual Sim version directly.

only way is to sit and wait ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
Ok thanks also can I ask is there no difference between the 128gb and the 512gb apart from the memory and 2gb more ram is that the only difference?

Also the dual SIM I'm assuming still has a micro sd slot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
Correct.

All models have micro sd

Finally getting the PREPARING DISPATCH showing on account.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] eVoHicks:
I don't think so, last year it was to the day specified on the pre-order status, which is looking like the same this year.

Some people have already got theirs around the world, tomorrow will be a big day for the Americans, looking at what they are posting, which is unlike last year when most of the US carriers and Samsung had delivered well over a week before us brits, and to be quite frank, I only got mine due to the upgrade program this year, don't think I would have ordered it otherwise, certainly not for the pre-order bonus lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
How does the Samsung UK upgrade process work ? I'm currently located in the USA and ordered from Samsung directly here and FedEx is delivering it tomorrow.

I signed up for the Samsung upgrade process when I ordered my note 8 in November last year from them. My understanding is that after 12 months of financing they take my old device in and replace it with the current model. The amount owed still remains the same I think.

I didn't wait until November to upgrade because Samsung was offering me a trade in of $400 off the price of the Note 9 which probably to my limited mathematical mind equates to the same sort of deal financially.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kathie1404:
Really? that's good to know. I googled and was under the impression that the dual sim was 2 slots to be used either for 2 sims or sim and micro sd and no separated sd card slot. Hope you're right on this one :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
To clarify. On the dual sim model as with all the last generations the second sim slot doubles as the micro sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kathie1404:
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: shame, so technically not a dual sim if you need to use an sd card.

Samsung despatch email received and DPD notification about delivery tomorrow. Now to decide if I go pick it up from the depot instead.......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] invisiblesense:
I've decided to collect it from the depot first thing in the morning. Wanted to ask DPD if I could pick it up today when it arrives at their depot, not sure if they'll allow it though?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kathie1404:
I phoned and they said parcel will be proceeded at depot overnight so couldn't collect later today or collect in the morning as you could only do that after 1 failed delivery attempt. Which I didn't actually believe! Why would you have option to do that under manage your delivery? Might ring again later and not get a jobs worth!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] invisiblesense:
That's disappointing. I also called their office and chap said I should keep checking the app for status updates as the items has not arrived at the depot yet. He said I should check before leaving in the morning. I had the option to pick 8-9am so I picked that.

Just spoken to a friend who works for hermes and he said that what they told me is correct as they would have to sift through hundreds of parcels to find mine.

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] FajnBrambor:
Hi, I would like to root my Moto Z2 Play but I don't want to unlock bootloader, because all of my data will be actually formatted and I don't really want to set up things again.

With that, I would like to ask if there is any option to root my phone straight from Android UI.

So I don't have to use any PC to root this phone.

Edit:

Actually with rooting come on place one important question.

This question is about: Is the phone able to receive updates released by manufacturer to moto Z2 play?

I'm asking because when I was rooting my Samsung phones on every single of them when they are rooted they are unable to receive updates by manufacturer so I literally had to plug the phone into my PC and Force updated it via Samsung provided program (Kies).

This was really painful so I am asking just before I will actually root it because I want the stock ROM and all of its official updates.

So I'll be really thankful with any answer on that question.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] victorhbm15:
To root you must unlock the bootloader.

And you will receive OTA's, but if you install those, the phone will most probably brick. So, don't even try to install them.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Artim_96:
As long as there is no vulnerability found in Android 8 that could actually be used to root, there is no other way than to open the bootloader which enforces a factory reset.

But if rooted properly with Magisk and as long as you only boot TWRP but never install it, OTAs should work. At least the only reason for bricking I know is when you try to upgrade after a downgrade since the updater seems to not check the bootloader. And with a downgrade to a version with an older bootloader something goes haywire which bricks the device on next update and you'll need a blankflash to fix that
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Blueoval24:
Just wondering if anyone has been successful with getting ATT Numbersync on their wearable to work on their LG V30 that has been converted via the Frankenstein method.

In my case, I have a LG Watch Sport with LTE on ATT as well as a LG V30+ LS998 converted to US998 (purchased this way). When setting up the NumberSync portion of the setup, ATT says my phone is not able to use numbersync. This is most likely due to an IMEI issue on the ATT server side as its reading the Sprint IMEI, but was wondering if anyone has had any success flashing over the ATT firmware or modem and allowing a successful pairing.

In the end, this is not a deal breaker, as I am more likely to cancel my extra line for numbersync on ATT then find another compatible phone at the moment, but just curious nonetheless.

Help me!

First off, I'm sorry, please understand that I am not good at English.

I tried updating Mate 9 from fRomFuture_Stock_Rom_B198_V1.1 to Oreo LineageOS Beta 5.

Since we originally introduced TWRP 3.1.1.0 we flushed Stock Recovery.

According to OpenKirin's guidelines Flash from the bootloader, we did a factory reset with erecovery at the first start, but it stopped at 99% (I left it for a long time).

After flashing OREO ROM to SYSTEM, ignoring the factory reset process will BOOTLOOP.

I did not start it even with TWRP.

Flashing TWRP 3.2.1 will result in Bootloader ERROR MODE.

I checked XDA and tried Flashing Oreo STOCK RAMDISK,

But, FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) has been posted.

Other than FLASH to RAMDISK, it finish without problems on Command terminal.

How can I update to LineageOS Beta 5?

Someone please tell me! ! !:crying:

It is also my first time to post here.

You need to update to Oreo. What you're doing is flashing an Oreo system image in Nougat. That's why you're bootlooping. Flash official Oreo firmware first.

Thank you for your reply!

Is it a link on this page?

And is the method correct on this page?

{Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

My model is C 636 so I tried following this page.

But "Software install failed!" Is displayed when EMUI updater starts up and it can not proceed.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
I would use Hwota to update: https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

And download firmware update.zip, public and hw data zips from: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ or through the Firmware Finder app.

You should even be able to install it correctly through FF since you're on Nougat.

Just search for "MHA-L29C636B3" and it will list all Oreo builds for C636, then you can tap on some and tap on Check Access, if approved you can install using In-App Proxy or DNS.

Either one will work.

If none are approved just download fw and use HWOTA to update
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] yudayuday:
I downloaded Mate 9 -> HWOTA_2017050101_MHA.zip according to the instructions of the link you taught and started update.bat, but the following error was displayed. . .

They're separate.

I put them in the same folder and executed, but it was the same error.:crying:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] yudayuday:
There was a little progress!

The error seems to be caused by Rebrand OEMINFO.

I tried updating according to the linked HWOTA that you taught me.

Although the command line was completed normally, it could not proceed to the screen shown below.

My model is HMA-L29B635, and I update it and use MHA-L29C635B361 (C635) - 8.0.0.361 in SDCARD for updating.

What is wrong?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
You don't need to rebrand if you're already on the brand you want to be on. The error just says it can't find update.zip (update_data_public.zip and update_all_hw.zip). The script should say if they are missing though. Make sure you are renaming them correctly and that they are on external SD.

You could also try using the Update folder option, by placing them (renamed) in the update folder in the HWOTA folder.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] yudayuday:
I finally accomplished.

I do not know the clear cause,

FLASH the Service ROMs, and then successfully updated to OREO!

Hello guys.

I'm using Fire 7(2017, 7th) now.

I wanna change language, so I searched the way to change locale.

I installed [morelocale2] with adb permission.

At first, I thought that it worked because it changed as Korean.

However, when I had rebooted, it stopped on loading screen. (orange Fire logo)

Is there any other way to change locale instead of morelocale app?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jess1313:
UPDATE: I was pointed to the Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-update-upgrade-assistant/

I ran the program, and it stated "RG2 is ready to install". I allowed the software to run, during which my phone rebooted to the "download" screen. After another reboot the application stated my phone was upgraded, but I still show 7.0 and when I connected my phone again it gave the same "RG2 is ready to install". Just to be safe I let it run again, but no change.

I would really appreciate any assistance or input anyone could provide.

Thank You,

Hello Everybody.

:confused:

I Need some help with my Lumia 950, it's in Boot Loop, Going to Windows Logo and Restarting.

I Already used many ways to factory reset or flash the device, using WDRT, WPinternals, Windows Phone Image Designer, thor2.exe and more.

All the times the flashing process goes well and it finishes the process showing a green screen after the flashing and starting the boot process, going to Microsoft logo, windows logo, windows logo again and just after, the screen goes black and the phone vibrates and restart.

I Really need some help, it's happens when i was recharging the phone at my workstation, it was with 8% battery, so i put the charger (from Sony Brand) and when i came back to check my phone, it was in boot loop.

My phone are really hot, sometimes the screen, battery and the enclosure are really hot, many more than other phones charging.

I already bought a new battery and checked with a multimeter the voltage of the old and the new battery.

So... i'm stuck... i really don't know how to solve this problem... I don't access to a official maintenance center at my country (Brazil), and the parts for this phone are almost impossible to get here (from official ways)...

So. Anyone knows how to solve this ? or passed by the same problem ?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Zacharee1:
Insomnia is essentially a remake of LineageOS' Caffeine Tile, but with a few extra features.

Caffeine is a feature that allows users to force their device's display to remain on for longer than the currently set timeout, but without actually changing that timeout. If the display is manually turned off, Caffeine deactivates automatically.

Insomnia works on the same principle. Through the use of a Quick Settings Tile, you can use Insomnia to cycle through predefined screen timeout overrides: 1, 5, 10, 30 and infinite minutes. However, if you want to set your own timeout (say 1 or 2 hours), or you want to remove some of the predefined timeouts, you can do that!

Simply long-press on the added Tile and Insomnia's configuration will appear.

Insomnia doesn't need root or even ADB commands; it barely needs any set up at all. If you download from the Play Store, it's completely plug-and-play. Just add the Tile to your Quick Settings and activate it!

Insomnia uses a display overlay (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) in order to work. The overlay is a simple single, transparent pixel that is positioned offscreen, and you shouldn't even notice it's there.

If you need help, watch this quick video which shows how to add the Tile: https://youtu.be/gPWAUzEJDkY

Your interface may not look the same, but the general process applies to all devices running Nougat or later.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are using an ASUS ZenFone, you may need to reboot after installing Insomnia for the Tile to appear. This is a bug in ZenUI!

Insomnia is open source! Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/Insomnia

If you are unable to pay for Insomnia (money problems, no Google services, etc), feel free to email or PM me and I'll provide a promo code or the APK as needed.

It is described in great detail how to do it - great description by the way.

Only I did not find what to do afterwards (or I just did not find it).

Should the following settings be made after successful completion (for safety reasons)?

- deactivate > USB debugging (?)

- deactivate > OEM unlocking (?)

And what is needed when flashing to a newer version?

- enable > USB debugging (?)

- enable > OEM unlocking (yes)

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] clearchris:
Don't take any OTAs. The last (and only) OTA I took on my rooted phone locked the bootloader, unrooted and worst of all, deleted EVERYTHING I had on the phone. This wasn't a normal factory reset that leaves /sdcard alone, this wiped everything including /sdcard. Take a backup via TWRP, but you MUST move it off the phone.

I have an OTA cable in the mail, I'm going to see if I can do TWRP backups to a USB stick via the OTG cable.

I have an OTG SD card reader and what I have to do it s make the backup then move it off the phone

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

The first thing you should have done before you did TWRP and root was figure out what you wanted to do with it in the first place. Seeing as how you are asking this question, I would suggest you fully return to stock and relock your bootloader. We don't do these things to our expensive smartphones for fun. We have reasons personal to our own uses for why we do these things. Messing with a $600 phone with no reason behind it is how people end up with $600 paper weights.
