[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] CLKeenan:
I was trying to go through the Carrier Switching Process using the instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255

When I realized I was already on Bootloader v4, I got a little cocky/ahead of myself and managed to find a combination file that was on v5: G955USQU5ARF1 . When I ran into a separate issue in that process (https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/9diruu/only_have_gcf_as_csc_code_available_to_carrier/), I tried to flash back to my previous US Unlocked firmware and everything has been failing. Is this because the firmware doesn't match the combination file?

Is there any way to get off this combo file/factory binary without the matching firmware? I've been scavenging the web for hours going to all kinds of seedy websites in hopes of finding it with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I leave for a trip tomorrow (****ty timing....) so hoping to figure out something tonight. I am able to get into Factory Recovery mode and have tried factory resetting, but that didn't do any good.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Milkyskittle:
I have been trying to get an answer for quite a while and no one has replied so I'm going to make my own thread.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9(SM-G960F) 64GB, Running 8.0 Oreo and the current build number I am on is G960FXXU2BRGA_G960FOXM2BRGA_BTU.

My issue is that I cannot flash any custom ROMs onto my phone without it getting stuck on the "S9 secured by knox" splashscreen on boot. It does not bootloop or anything it just stays on that screen.

I have heard many things about the fact that BRE5 vendor is needed to flash custom ROMs but I cannot find anything anywhere on how I get this vendor.

Can somebody please help me?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Docmjldds:
Not sure what your specific issues is....but latest flashable vendor files are on this site. Plus....look for Soldier9312 development Discussions in Cross Device Devolpment here on S9 Forums.

http://www.soldier9312.de/#firmware

BRH4 is latest BTW...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Milkyskittle:
So if I installed BRH4 that would allow me to flash ROMs? At the moment I can only assume its the build that I'm on that is stopping me from doing so
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Milkyskittle:
I just flashed the BH4 software and it chucked my phone in a bootloop...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Docmjldds:
You are not giving much info. Start over. If you updated firmware, then you need to flash a ROM that is also using latest firmware. Just flashing a firmware update is not going to fix anything. Don't know what else to tell you. From your first post, you were on BRGA. I'm guessing latest firmware not compatible with your current ROM.

When my setups for whatever reason are in a really bad state, I do the following:

From TWRP recovery, I use the format tab and answer YES to the Format process. I then go back and under advance wipe, click on all the caches, data, system, and even internal storage. You can try without wiping Internal storage, but if you were coming from total stock, then I would also wipe that. Now flash a ROM and you should be fine. Not here to tout any one ROM. I have used a slew of them and again, not here to promote any single ROM as "the best".
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Milkyskittle:
So I'm now back on the stock firmware that I was originally on which is BRGA. Whenever I flash a rom I always format data just to be safe but I tried flashing RR and dotsOS and the BH4 rom that the other member suggested and none of them worked. I downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile it's the UK one
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Docmjldds:
AOSP ROMs IMHO have issues. Use a Samsung based ROM, and generally no issues. Your choice. I do NOT push any one ROM. I currently am on TGP...The Galaxy Project you can look up in Cross Device Development.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Milkyskittle:
Ok I will have a look. Thank you for your help

Ok, first off, I just want to let EVERYONE know that I'm VERY new to the WM6 platform, having purchased a T-Mobile Wing, just recently. The phone was locked when I got it, but I used a sim-unlock service to unlock it. I've been working on Motorola phones for years now, so I'm not a total stranger to flashing, too. I've already successfully changed my slider tones and added a NES emulator to my Wing(which was all pretty basic, really), but now I'd like to start flashing some ROMS, particularly Touch-IT. My question: By flashing a new ROM to the phone, will it RE-lock the phone?

[Wing, P4350 General] Kareen:
Ok. Now I'm kind of confused. I've gotten to step 6, but when I unRAR the ASerg Policies, there are 2 files found within: _setup.xml and POLICIES.000. I move those files onto my Wing and them view them via my file explorer, within the phone. They look exactly like that, 2 files, not a .cab. So, I'm not sure WHAT I'm doing wrong here, but I'm doing something. Anyone?
[Wing, P4350 General] kidnamedAlbert:
are you sure theyre not a cab?

the .000 files are usually in cbs oh and the _setup.xml too.

you might want to save instead of opening when you download it
[Wing, P4350 General] Kareen:
The ASerg Policies were in the TouchIT v2.3 folder, RAR'd. When I UnRAR them, all they are is the 2 files. Like I said, I know I'm doing something noobishly wrong, I'm just not sure what it is, LOL!!!

Anyone have problems using activesync? This is my third ROM install, each ROM being from a different developer... and activesync is still doing the same exact things to every single one.

To put a new ROM on I have to put the original T-mobile ROM back on, where activesync does work, then I repeat the new ROM install process. Still activesync refuses to work.

The grey circle turns green and when I click on activesync... It says connecting but eventually it will come up with the error and I can either press ok or troubleshoot. Basically the short error says no mobile device found.

Any help is appreciated thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeepkumar0153:
Hi people,

Im sure most are aware of the flicker in j7 2015 model. I have both j7 2015 and j7 2016.

It was last year when j7 2015 got marshmallow update. Within few hours, the backlit went crazy. It was impossible to dim the screen without seeing all disco pink lines.

There were claims that it was fixed but i still have this issue. Samsung service centre said no display available and warranty period got over this way.

Now just a few minutes earlier, i faced the same isssue in my j7 2016 model. The screen became dim all of a sudden. On closer inspection i found every alternate pixel line was missing vertically. It tried to turn off and on the screen a few times. Then the issue became severe and i was seeing all pink screen. I could barely see the text on the screen.

I had ampere installed and saw that the phone was using over 970 ma of current. So i switched it off and tried after 5 minutes and nothing changed. Twrp, offline charging and holding power button with battery out didnt work either.

I kept on increasing and decreasing the brightness to max and min. Some times the flicker stopped briefly and i could see perfectly. After about 30 minutes of struggling the screen became normal automatically.

I started typing this story when the screen got back normal and it hasn't done wierd flicker till now.

If you face any issue like this, please share over here.

Im also sharing this with samsung so they may or may not try to investigate. They are leading manufacturer of oled display and although the display is fine, im sure their driver circuit have some flaw.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeepkumar0153:
Screenshots , the white one is for low brightness. It goes reddish when brightness is high
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandeepkumar0153:
I managed to fix the screen by replacing the capacitor array used in the screen.

I did some research and found the 20khz PWM singal used for the screen was out of sync. There is a clock pulse that is controlled by small capacitors to keep it a square wave instead of sinusoidal.

Wont talk more about what and how that works, its there on the internet, just google pwm brightness control circuit.

The capacitor used are either cheap or not within specification or maybe even completely of wrong values.

PS. I know how to handle hardware and soldering, make sure you know what you are against.

Hi guys

So I have an iPhone 6s (yeah I know, been a long time android user but switched:p) and bought a thor pro. The watch is very good but connectivity is hideous...the wiiwatch app is absolute garbage. It keeps my iPhone awake to maintain the connection (cpu wakelock) and drains a lot of battery. And once I have to restart either my watch or my iPhone I have to pair it again.

I had an amazfit pace before and the app for it worked perfectly, never had these issues...

Is anyone suffering the same or have any alternative? Or am I the only one affected by this?

BTW just today my watch restarted out of the blue (I have very limited use of the watch, just for checking notifications mainly).

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] jup007:
I used sample file from this thread and just random from the web. From my testing, both Samsung Video Library and MX player seem to play HDR videos correctly on Tab S4. You can easily see that screen switches to different mode and in the overview/screenshot it looks different and not HDR. Funnily enough, it plays HDR even windowed under DeX, which is kind of cool.

On the other hand (and there was another thread about this) I haven't found streaming service that would play HDR. Netflix claims HDR on appropriate titles with appropriate subscription, but if that's really HDR, it's the crappies HDR I've ever seen. Nothing else even pretends that it can stream HDR.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsWeSpeak:
I tried a lot of rom's, from Android 4 to 7. A lot of them are great. The best rom's that works for me are Lollipop rom's. They are fast, stable. Such as:

cm-12.1-20151026-UNOFFICIAL-ms013g-ver_AIO-3.zip

cm-12.1-20151107-UNOFFICIAL-ms013g.zip

cm-12.1-20160613-UNOFFICIAL-ms013g.zip

The only bug that I have with all lollipop rom's is that, wifi will go to sleep if I loose range on the wifi and come back. If I leave my home, out of wifi range, and come back. Phone will automatically connect to my wifi, but it will fall a sleep after 1min or so. So I need to restart my phone, phone will connect automatically to my wifi again and it will stay connected until I leave my home again. So, I need to restart my phone every time when I'm connecting on same wifi.. or, my wifi will fall a sleep in the stand by.

This is the only issue with lollipop. 4, 6 and 7 rom's dot have these problems.

Is there any way to fix this ?
