[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kukurodorae:
I have sucessfully rooted my phone with your toolkit but yesterday when i upgraded Magisk from 16.4 to 17.1 and then flashed lasted TWRP, my phone some how corrupted . :confused:

After that I tried to flash Factory Image and boot TWRP portable -> Flash ElementalX 2.05 -> Magisk 17.1 -> VerifiedBootSigner-v8 -> Reboot but my phone get stuck in bootanimation about 5 min and then reboot to recovery. Then it will always boot back to recovery when I reboot.

I have searched here but couldn't find any solution. :crying:

I tried to flash ElementalX and TWRP only and my phone booting normally. But anytime I flash Magisk it can't.

Please help me, I don't know what to do next, Thank you and sorry for my bad English. :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thereal_bigjake:
You probably need to flash the magisk uninstaller then flash magisk. I had to do that last month after flashing the factory image without wiping the device ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mataflakitas:
This is compatible for android 9.0 ..?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kukurodorae:
Yeah i did that too. And then I found out that lasted TWRP and Magisk 17.1 mess up my device if I keep flashing the August security patch factory image. I flashed the newest factory image and it work fine now :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] XiorgON:
I suggest to you to try bootloop repair and say yes for format user data. if that dont work try to flash factory image, and boot on, skip configuration, and retry to root again with the new magisk version. your error is probably due because you dont used magisk uninstaller. I will implement uninstaller in the next version of the toolskit. I have i lot of work right now , but when i have some few time to spend i will do update. For now try what i say , good chance.

If ist dont work try to flash the old magisk 16.1 and tell me if it work becaus eif it , the problem come from magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kukurodorae:
Yes. It probably Magisk problem. I think that Magisk 17.1 can't work with 180610.009 factory image. I flashed 180905.005 factory image and it work fine now.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Ry024:
I just got my px3 mtce unit hooked up yesterday and I've tried multiple times to get it to work with hotspot / tether using pdanet, it shows that it's connected but I'm not receiving any data. I thought it was maybe the stock rom that was just not working so I tried the Malaysk 7.1.2 rom but it's still not receiving data, I've tested the direct hotspot pdanet feature on my laptop and phone and it connects fine, but my head unit for some reason will not get data. Has anyone else had this problem or is there another app that I can use to tether data from my phone?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] tlyonstlyons:
Hi! Did you ever resolve this or find a work around? My carrier won't allow BOYD accounts to tether so I am looking for something else.

PDA.net works fine to provide internet for my tablet and laptop but on my PX3 7.1 head unit it will connect; report an internet connection; but all apps report no internet. I also have tried stock and Malaysk with no luck. For now I am using Easy Connect but it is unreliable.

Any tethering app would be better than what I am doing, even USB or Bluetooth but nothing seems to work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlowMode:
Hello,

I have installed the Lineage OS on my LG G2. Later I want to delete my data's on the phone, so I use the Factory reset in the Lineage OS. After the Factory reset it boots to the TWRP? And it don't boot to the OS again, so i have installed the Lineage OS again. After this the phone boots to TWRP again. I tested to installed the kernel again without success.

What can I do?

Thank you

Sorry for my bad english
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rileyjr:
I have contacted both Verizon and Samsung with no resolution. I have tried reinstalling FW in Odin but it always fails.

Model number: SM-GM935P

Android Version: 7.0

Baseband Version: G935PVPU5BQL1

Build Number: NRD90M.G935PVPU5BQL1

There seems to be software from the previous owner that is keeping the phone locked to the previous carrier. I am unable to edit the APN. Going insane, please help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Can't flash Verizon firmware because Verizon is on a lower version than what you have.

Is the phone domestic sim unlocked?

You should be able to add an apn under the settings to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rileyjr:
I have tried editing APN dozens of times and it still sticks on roaming. I am not trying to flash to Verizon firmware, I am just trying to flash to stock 935P in hopes that it will remove whatever network lock is preventing Verizon data from working (if that is the case). I am hoping that once I get the stock firmware back on the phone, it will automatically connect to verizon once I enter the sim.

Running On My Galaxy Note9 SM-N960U Wicked Venom
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I had that happen on one of the V2 bootloader roms for ATT. It gave the connection error for Samsung Pay. It had something to do with that particular version. I had to roll back to something else. When I called the S Pay support line, they claimed it was an error at my bank. My bank saw the like 10 attempts and flagged my acct. I went back to my previous version, factory reset, and suddenly S Pay worked again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidUser00110001:
Doing factory reset was the only thing that cleared it up for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
We found a fix for this. Before you use Odin to flash, go into Samsung Pay settings and reset your device (don't worry, it doesn't delete your cards, just removes them). Then go into Settings/Accounts and remove your Samsung account. Do the flash, and reboot. When you come back in, login to Samsung first, then go reactivate cards in Samsung Pay. Total process (with flash) should take less than 10 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidUser00110001:
Any new updates for September yet? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottBroker:
Is there anyway to get TWRP on SM-G965U? Dont yell at me, have not read all the threads, but it seems to me this will never have an unlocked bootloader, and therefore, no roms will be available?????
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
No, there is not.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesChilds:
I flashed this on my unlocked sprint S9+ and I've got no tmobile apps AND I do HAVE sprint apps. What did I do wrong? O.o it's activated but the sprint stuff is trying to activate too. No wifi calling. Etc...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
I'm confused. Your profile looks like you're on Sprint. Is that not correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesChilds:
Oh no, Its been YEARS since I've been here. I just recently left sprint however and brought my S9+ to tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Ah, so you're switching. Well, the S9 does not have BYOD yet. That means putting a different SIM in the device does exactly nothing, except keep you from using the old network. :)

You can wait for the U1 firmware to be updated to bootloader version 3. At that point, you'd flip from U to U1 and back to U.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JamesChilds:
So are you saying that basically the tmobile user data I just flashed just basically gets ignored? Thats rough... from your experience when do you expect Samsung to drop a V3 boot loader for U1?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
It's not really ignored. All the user data for all carriers is always there. But the active CSC on the device determines what gets loaded (that's only sort of true, but close enough). Anyway, there isn't a way to flip the CSC on U firmware, so you're sort of stuck...for now.

U1 will get updated later this month, according to the quarterly schedule. When you see carriers start pushing September patch (probably ARI1 or higher), then U1 won't be far behind, maybe a few days.

They are working on BYOD support right now. It's not quite fully working yet, but a leaked build showed it off, and they've been improving it. If you're patient, that will roll out, too. They didn't get BYOD fully correct until December of last year for the S8. Although, if memory serves, it initially rolled out a bit earlier. Some people needed to do factory resets to fully switch until the December update. That's where the current leak has us at, so it's really not far away.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sentrix27:
Is HA/H6 the one that includes BYOD support?

So technically updating to that firmware via recovery and update.zip method, and then using odin to flash U ARG8, would be a way to switch without having to ever flash U1?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Yes, H6/HA both have BYOD. HA's is improved over H6's. The method you described is absolutely the safest. Upgrade long enough to swap CSC. Once finished, factory wipe and flash back to ARG8.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sentrix27:
Great. Thank you for being so knowledgeable about BYOD/SIM switching!

Also - Would you happen to know anything about the I2 firmware that's on the firmware-science site? (I only ask because, perhaps, it may be improved on even HA with respect to BYOD functionality)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
BRI2 is probably even better than BRHA, but I haven't tried it yet. Since you don't intend to stay with leaked firmware and wish to go back to stable releases, I didn't mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sentrix27:
Understandable.

I suppose I could try it, but it would make no difference, really, since the goal here is just getting the CSC to change, right?

(And because once back on stable ARG8, there wouldn't be a need for SIM-switching/BYOD functionality any longer, it's just a one-time thing to switch the CSC)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Once your CSC has been flipped to where you need it, it would remain when you went back to ARG8. You really wouldn't need BYOD again unless you flip carriers again. Of course, at some point this will be released and all firmware will have it. Hopefully, by the time you change your mind on carriers again, that's released.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sentrix27:
Haha, great.

I plan on going back to ARG8 - but what are the issues with staying on HA? Just generally unstable from your experience using it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
It's good and you'd probably be fine. I just noticed quirks where things like Wi-Fi Calling and Video Calling may disappear. That's especially true if you actually use the BYOD functionality. If you factory reset they'd come back, but that almost defeats the point.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sentrix27:
I see. Thanks for the help!

I decided to give I2 a shot, and it correctly SIM re-configured, etc. etc.

So far, everything seems to be working.

I6 would be the newest and has the September security patch
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vick15o2:
Im using s9+ att. Its ok to flash ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yes would be ok, just don't flash TMOBILE Userdata, after you flash go to recovery and do a factory reset, then you be set.

Don't forget to do a data backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vick15o2:
Thanks for help sir. Im using a s9+ att and still not get a newest update via OTA. Im stuck with June update. But when im go to software update it said its up to date.

So can i flash this rom ? Is it ok ? ( im newbie and sorry for my bad english)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yes you can update with this, samething i tell everyone if your on AT&T, don't flash Userdata of TMOBILE, after you odin the other files just go back to recovery and do a factory reset, and you will be set, always make a data backup before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vick15o2:
Btw do i need to update a previous version or just update this rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Just Odin to this firmware that's it and you will be on latest AT&T firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vick15o2:
Thanks sir. Btw are u having a black crush issue ? I
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Huh Black crush what's that?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vick15o2:
When u see on the top left of screen u can see so radient. And when watching video with dark scene ( like black panther trailer ) the dark part of video will pixel and change to gray color. Many people use s9 plus has this issue
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
In the EU update thread, the "B" series firmware was supposed to fix black crush. There are 2 leaked B series firmware out for the Snapdragon version finally, you could try one of those. I personally haven't had a problem.

Edit: I'm on 3ARH3 and just played the trailer on my phone and I have no black crush issue. I havent ever noticed an issue on any firmware since I got my 9+ though. I also don't watch stuff on my phone much.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vick15o2:
Im now on current firmware 3ARG8

And it fixed a little. But i dont know why when i check on utube by using another devices it still see some of pixel. Maybe its a low qual ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
No idea. I watched the official black panther trailer on YouTube. Zero pixelization, and blacks were solid black. Not a single dropped frame.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] smittywerbenjaegerman:

Ok every flash attempt I'm get a SW REV Check Fail on the phone it's self. Not sure what I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidUser00110001:
Try this...Go into direct sunlight or turn the screen brightness to the highest setting. Load up a web page with lots of pictures...like Instagram or pornhub :) , start scrolling. Do you see jelly effect with pictures. I have noticed this on some previous firmware and and now I am on ARI6 but I do not think the firmware makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
What you quoted said the "B" firmware was supposed to fix the black crush issue. First your still on an "A" firmware, and second, this jelly issue your talking about isn't what I said was fixed, and this is the first post I've seen about any kind of jelly issue on this phone.

Edit: brightness at 100%,Instagram looks just fine. I'm on 3ARH3. I run FHD+ on High Performance mode. Even set to WQHD with +10% brightness. Again, Instagram is perfectly fine.

The Name ID app for Tmobile didn't work right for me. I tried to reflash this verion but still no help. (clear storage and data too). I subscribe to caller ID (or name ID) but no of ID show up when ppl call (Only work when i go to the Name ID app and loop up that number)

Called Tmobile but they have no Idea why
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hanwinting:
i have galaxy s9+ and recently switched to tmobile. i tried flashing this firmware. Odin said pass and rebooted. But after reboot the network is still trying to activate with sprint network. any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
You have to flash to U1 firmware first and then flash back to U firmware. Make sure to grab ARH7 or ARI1 for the U1 firmware.

U firmware is not carrier specific. All versions work for all carriers and the phone will not switch carriers simply because you flash a different U firmware. That's why the extra jump to U1/unlocked firmware is required.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hanwinting:
thanks for the reply. i am still trying to learn. so is ARH7 and ARI1 both v3 bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Yep. Those are the only two that are, for U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hanwinting:
thanks! that works perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dstealth97:
I'm still very new at this. I can flash either of these 2 to ATT v3 bootloader and get U1 firmware on it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Yes either of those will put you on U1. Obviously, prefer the later one if you're planning to stay on U1.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ModelCitizen:
Since I own the TMO variant, and the model number has a U in it, I would flash ARI6, right?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sweetboy02125:
Will this patch work as official for Tmobile? Just afraid when T mobile releases any update while i'm on this then i need to wipe everything back RG8?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Unless they end up releasing ARI6 you'll have to Odin with home CSC to whatever they release next. But you won't have to restore all your data and from then on you would get OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Typically TMobile will release ARI6 or something later. TMobile is where most of the Odin files come from, so you should be fine. We've seen Odin releases pretty much monthly. If anything, we are getting kind of late for an October release of Odin files.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jblazea50:
If I am on ARG8 and want to go to ARI6 (isn't that VZW?), do I use ODIN to flash the AP, BL, CP from the ARI6 and to keep my data from wiping, use the HOME_CSC from ARG8? And which USERDATA should I flash (ARG8 or ARI6)?

Want to make sure my data isn't wiped. Currently on G965USQS3ARG8 T-Mobile with everything working.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I forget which CSC wipes but you been leave that and userdata empty. Just flash ap, cp and bl.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
You could just run the update zip that goes from arg8 to ari6. It is on firmware science. Much easier than odin.

Ari6 is the current ATT and Verizon ota.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jblazea50:
Will this wipe my data?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Not if you aren't an AT&T customer. I use them all the time (like constantly), never had a single wipe from an update zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I'm on ATT, so if I don't want to wipe, I wait for Odin files.

If your on ATT, they have something that forces a wipe when sideloading an update.zip

If your on any other carrier, you should be fine unless something has suddenly changed.
