Does anyone know how to get your preorder bonus when you preordered the note 9 from t mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
I was just looking for that. I read about it in one of the threads last week, now I can't find it. From what I remember once you get your phone you must register it with Samsung then apply for the promo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] entropism:
You register with samsung, then get it through the Shop Samsung app on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
See pictures. I did it in the ShopSamsung app on my phone. Just attach a photo of your preorder reciept.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cherylbaker:
Got it thanks for the help. I will register and ordered. I will now the wait Hahahahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
wasn't any of this have had to be done before the 24th of August?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] brianlp:
You have until midnight on September 13th 2018 to register for promo from Samsung. The 23rd of August was the last day to preorder the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
yeah and by pre ordering you had gifts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Can you register for the promo without the phone? Mine isn't coming until the 19th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
think you need imei and proof of purchase
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
I'm sure you can. I uploaded the preorder receipt I got from T-Mobile which was dated the twenty-third, as proof of purchase. I believe it already had the IMEI number of the phone it. My claim is still under review since I just did this today.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I have my T-Mobile receipt. But where did you see the IMEI? I see a 12-digit SKU on my contract that was emailed me but I cannot find an IMEI.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
You don't have an IMEI yet. You don't get an IMEI until you have the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] eastsidebiz:
Got mine approved. Too bad it ships weeks from now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gyozaman:
To get the bonus, it is usually a 2 step process.

First you need to pre-register / pre-order the phone between Aug 9-23.

Second you buy the phone and must complete the bonus submission by late September. You complete the submission by going into your Samsung account Offers section and enter the date of purchase, IMEI, etc. Then Samsung will send you the bonus gift.

If you don’t pre-register and just buy the phone and submit the information through the website and not through your Offers section, there is a slim chance you will get the bonus. That’s how it worked for the previous Note bonuses.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
I finally read the receipt. It listed the IMEI of my Note 8 trade in. Sorry for misleading you. Still I'm sure this will be accepted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
Yep, no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
How did you start? I cannot find the promo in the shop Samsung app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sandythegenius:
I have pre-order my Note 9 on 21-Aug and got on 28-Aug. and pre-ordered phones to be activated before 31st Aug as per Samsung. After activation on My Galaxy app, the pre-order Gift -Gear Sport watch listed in next 2 days...

Here in india its price for retails is 23000 /- so I have Paid Rs. 5000 /- with Gift coupon code.

The sites tells that it will delivered in 10 - 12 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 3pcssuits:
I didn't have to write or show proof of purchase, it asked where I got the phone and it did the rest(shop Samsung app) headphones shipped two week earlier then it was suppose to
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
What I can remember is that first I had to register my phone with Samsung-(purchase date, IMEI), I bought from T-Mobile and it wasn't in their system. After that I was prompted to apply for the promo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] shawn326@gmail.com:
Yes, I got my headphones already. They accepted it on Samsung Shop and shipped it 10 days before they said they would. They are nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Hi all,

I am not sure if this is better in a different Thread, so admin please move if so..

BE CAREFULL !!!! If you plan to root you S9, do NEVER do the following:

Switch on your S9 for the very first time and once you are forced to set-up a new google account, REMEMBER the data you enter !!!!!!!

Even if you (like me) do not want a google account, do not enter anything stupid, a password that you dont remember...

BECAUSE, if you now do a factory-reset from the bootloder, the phone will be lost forever!!!!!

You will have to send your phone to a SAMSUNG Service-center for unlock...

Thanks to Google and Samsung, this "feature" is very close to be illegal...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tomiga:
That sounds like FRP lock. If you know what you're doing (and you didn't steal the phone) there are ways around it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
This has been the case for a long time, and the same with iPhones, don't forget your login, make sure you have a recovery for your email password and don't steal phones

Not sure why it should be illegal to protect people's personal info
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] oildale:
What's actually illegal is people "forgetting" their password for "their" (newly acquired) phone.

So yeah. Let's totally make it easier to bypass you forgetting your password. While we're at it, let's just get rid of all security measures because they can be inconvenient at times.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wpscully:
FRP is a Documented Feature

The online Samsung S9 documentation does document the Factory Data Reset process. While this is surprising if it happens to you the feature is designed to help make stolen phone less valuable. At least in theory.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
No, that's why they call them smart phones, you need to be smart to use them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Well, I do have the invoice from MY NOT STOLEN Phone.......

And an "anti-theft-feature" basically does not protect the phone from being stolen. It is simply not usable, but nevertheless the victim has a certain damage...

So, how can this kind of feature by advanced? VERY easy: In case of theft, the owner of a phone may log into his accoount from any other Computer and he ACTIVELY (!!!) has to quote his phone was stolen. NOW it can be locked.

I will send my phone to Samsung this week. I will expect thay RESET it for free...

Or maybe contact google... I remember the password but not the account... So maybe they can tell me the account-name if I gave the IMEA number...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Especially since I do have the invoice, a proof that I BOUGHT the phone !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
I already tried a lot of workarounds, so far with no success. Off course it is not stolen, I will make an image of the invoice later today if everybody mistrust me...

I will try that google give me the account-name I have created, because I do remember the password. I assume, that the account is tied to the IMEI of the phone...

If this does not help me out, I will se how far I will get using ADB. Luckily I activated USB debugging before I did the big mistake.

As last Option I will have to send the phone to a Samsung Service center...

Lets see...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
So OK let's reverse this scenario, you buy an S9, you secure it with your Google account, someone steals your phone, they use whatever method you are wishing for to unlock the device, and now they have access to all of your info, data, media, and also a brand new S9 for themselves

You are happy about this, right?

Or even if we say they reset the device, so your info is safe, they now have a brand new S9 for themselves. you are also happy about this too right?

Or how about the scenario when people already know it is useless resetting the phone because there is no way to unlock it without the original Google account login (Same as iPhone), now they don't bother stealing your phone because it would be useless to them, so now you get to keep your expensive S9 because they didn't want to steal it

Which scenario makes you happiest?

If you forget absolutely everything about the account you used for your phone, for some reason you do not have any record of it from other reset email accounts you should have added, then you have no-one to shout at other than yourself, you messed up, not Samsung or Google, YOU
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
I do not fully agree!

If my phone is stolen, I will ACTIVATE the anti-theft-protection after it has been stolen.

Normally someone would recognize very fast that it has been stolen. It does not matter whether the stolen phone is deactivated right now or some hours later. It will be unusable from this moment, the owner deactivates...

No one is happy about a stolen phone, but stolen is stolen, regardless if the thief can use it or not. The damage I have anyway...

Imagine you buy a Windows-PC. But you prefer Linux, format the HDD and try to install linux. But some geniusses decided that your PC will no longer be usable... Really a good idea??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] elbee222:
It should go without saying that having an invoice showing the purchase of a phone, if purchased from other than the manufacturer or cellular provider, does not eliminate the possibility that the phone was reported stolen by a previous purchaser/owner. I would much rather have my phone automatically rendered inoperable by anyone not having my password and/or Google account information than give them the opportunity to acccess it during the lag time spanning the period that: 1) I realized my phone is lost; 2) I successfully reported the loss to the carrier or manufacturer having the ability to hard lock the device; and 3) the carrier/manufacturer actually locks the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Well yes and no :) To me, the probability to "loose" my phone in a way I accitentially did is much higher than it might be stolen...

So do you mean, even I can proove the purchase, I do not have the right that Samsung unlocks it??? See, if it is stolen, I cannot use it. If I do 2 SOFTWARE based steps, I cannot use it. It is lost in both cases, so non of them is good...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] elbee222:
If you can prove the purchase, and -- if you are not the original purchaser - no prior owner has reported the phone lost or stolen and there is no related bad IMEI issue -- then I would agree that you should have the right to have the phone unlocked/reactivated by Samsung or the carrier. I suspect Samsung or the carrier will check to make sure that a lost/stolen phone report is not received in the interim.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Your argument is weak, it is a LOT more difficult to lose a PC than a phone, it is a LOT more difficult to steal a PC than a phone

Thousands (maybe millions) of phones are lost and stolen every day around the world, PCs not so much...

Why would you buy a Windows PC if you wanted Linux? Wouldn't you just build a PC and install Linux from day 1?

At the end of the day, for whatever reasons you are p*ssed because you are locked out of your phone, the reason you are locked out is your own fault, you are looking to blame someone when all you need to do is look in the mirror

Maybe Samsung will unlock it if you can prove proof of ownership, maybe... but by the sounds of it, you didn't buy it new, which leads us right back to the possibility of it being stolen, which is likely the same conclusion Samsung will come to
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Just talked to Samsung support. Will cost me about 35€ to get the security chip changed.

Ok, could have been worse...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Let us know what happens
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] oildale:
I'm not saying that you stole the phone but because you don't take making your account seriously the rest of us have to have security that is easily bypassed for our phones? I don't think so.

You screwed up and now you're paying the price. Hopefully you can get things sorted out and get access to your phone. In the very least though, you'll never do something so stupid again right?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Oel:
That's it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Exactly. At least, we know by now, that there is a physical security-chip inside the phones :)

I am just wondering, why this forum does exist.. I assume a lot of us like custom ROMs , rooting etc. because we like to get rid of google and other bloatware. At least this it what I personally like to... But if a google "feature" locks someone from his own phone, he suddenly is a criminal ?!?!?!

OK. [MENTION=465326]admin[/MENTION] - better close this thread as it does not really helps us.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bahmonkeys:
There is ways around FRP protection. I have been through this myself. You can easily find loads of answers to exactly what you are looking for here in XDA.

Also send a picture of your Download mode. I can help you fix your issue pretty easily actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Except you cannot here on XDA as the rules prohibit discussion about bypassing FRP and you have no way of knowing this is not a stolen device, regardless of claims of invoices *(That can be created with any PC)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bahmonkeys:
As long as you know the Google account you had on the phone and the password to it. We will not be bypassing FRP, more like not tripping FRP again.

This is a firmware issue. Not a bypassing FRP protection issue.

Send me a picture of your Download mode....
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
OP has already stated it is an FRP bypass he needs as he has forgotten his account details, read the main post ;)

This thread would not exist if he knew his login lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bahmonkeys:
He did say that it's his Google account. He should be easily able to verify that it's his account even without the password.

There is also ways of not tripping FRP protection.

Easy way is to get your Google account verified.

Hard way... Read a lot, learn and grow
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Uhh no, apparently he didn't want a Google account at all and apparently just made up a username and password, something that amazes me if anyone has ever had anything to do with an Android phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
Hy, sounds good, but I already sent my phone to Samsung yesterday. And for sure I will not do the same mistake again to test if your workaround does work :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
How did I get into the situation.....

for everyone who is wondering how I got into this messy situation...

As already mentiond, I dont like to have any google account.

All apps I need are located on the harddisk of my notebook. Unfortunately,

I lent the notebook to my parents this week and will get it back next sunday.

So I created the fake-account just for getting some apps to test the phone..

I had 5 Android phones before... But this was the first time I created a google account. After having finished all my tests I found the easiest way to get rid of all, was a factory reset... So I did.

The result, you all know..:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Next time remove the Google account from Android Settings first, then you can reset without this problem
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] bahmonkeys:
As I said send a picture of your Download mode!

If u were good with Android phones you would know how to get all apps without having a Google account.

For me your experience with Android phones seems very limited. You can fix this issue yourself if u had knowledge. It's not that hard to fix

Still waiting for Samsung repair center. Status: received... I called them yesterday, it will take

1 more week as they are quite busy these days... Maybe more phones thanks to Google??:rolleyes:

Ah and before I forget (although he said he is not a specialist) the "repair-center-guy" said it would cost around 62 Euro and not 35 as the Samsung-member said to me earlier...

And he said that they dont need to open the phone.. But he also admitted that he is not sure because he does not know a lot about this Google-shi....

Will keep you informed how things will be going.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] joe535:
The german repair-enter shipped yesterday, so I will receive the phone today. I had to pay 61,53 Euro...

Will forward a detailled repair-info and invoice to Google... And I will try and go to court because I still dont see any reason that Google has rights to lock anyone out of his own phone...

Dont mind if I win or not, but I did never ask google to spy me out, or to control my phone. This is not a feature, this is as criminal as steal a phone...

Any one tried substratum theme on Android pie open beta with success? If yes than explain how?

Edit: Works well now. Forget to uninstall Andromeda.

1.)Install substratum (uninstall Andromeda)

2.)Select theme (theming systemui and Android system should avoid it may cause crashes)

3.)Build & Enable

4.)Reboot

4.)Overlay manager

5.)Enable.

Enjoy Black Theme. (Or white or dark)

(Tested with Swift Black)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] justen7723:
AOSPui is working pretty good for me. Only quick settings isn't theming for me.

Open substratum

Install overlays

Reboot

Open substratum

Go to substratum manager

Enable overlays

Done.

I also have this problem, seems like it installs fine but after reboot nothing is there anymore. Swift Dark is what I'm trying to use right now
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] XAL2:
Happened to me on 5.1.11. All you have to do is go to the accent color. Switch it to something different then switch it back. IDK if it'll work for PIE but I would try that. Just flashed over to Pie and I'm just now getting up everything so I'm going to try myself.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] prins29:
Same here. Able to see overlay installed but nothing in overlay manager.

Edit : :o old post . OP edited.

What did you pick in substratum for android version? Oxygen OS android 8? Or "others?"

It's still not working for me unfortunately, did an accent color change and I've actually never had Andromeda installed at all. Coming from stable Oreo build...

1. Install latest beta of substartum i think it 1001

2. Disable all magisk modules!

3. Reboot

4. Install overlays that u need

5. Go to file explorer make show hidden files

6. Go to your main storage and there must be folder named . substratum in there will be all installed overlays

7. Copy them and paste into system/app

8. Reboot go to substartum app overlay manager and overlays will be there, enable them, reboot

9. Enable magisk modules

10. Reboot

Youre welcome!
