[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] ferchu91:
Just get the phone a couple of weeks ago, and i cant find anything about it. I just have to wait a little longer? :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] Pumpino:
Yeah, I'm surprised that it hasn't received much attention. It reminds me of the Mi Note 3 - that was under-rated too.

Can I ask a question? When you put your Mi 8 Lite into silent mode, does it display the silent icon on the right side of the status bar? If you receive a text message, does the icon appear next to the clock on the left side? I'm just curious, since the notch is smaller than on my Pocophone, and the Pocophone doesn't have space for these icons.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] ferchu91:
Hi. No, it doesnt appear. Just like the poco and the normal mi 8

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
The Mi 8 Lite needs a separate section on XDA in my opinion as the devices are quite different. Different screen size and screen technology, different processors, differences in cameras, etc. They may carry a similar name, but they are completely different devices. It is also quite new, so it will most likely take a while for development to take off, especially when the Mi 8 has been out for a while and is decently priced.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] malek_anas_97:
i bought this device on the 15th of this month (coming from my heroic nexus 5)

started the bootloader unlock request on the same day and i have to wait 15 days before unlocking (it feels like forever xD)

saw other people talking about this phone in other places on xda too but still no dedicated device section :(

i posted a request in the new device request thread, if you guys posted requests there i think it'll help our cause too

we even have a TWRP port already https://xdaforums.com/mi-8/how-to/mi-8-lite-twrp-t3850019

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gudenau:
I want to create a custom ROM for my Pixel XL that is based off of AOSP. I have tried to make this work, but it has never been stable enough to run as a daily driver, it has always been unstable and unusable for my day-to-day tasks.

Does anyone have any information on what I should do to create such a ROM? I don't have a second Pixel XL to develop on, needs to work fairly well out of the gate.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
You are not going to be able to set up a build environment, get sources, compile a rom, and flash it to your device in one go without problems. That's part of being a developer.

All roms posted here are stable not because they just came out the oven ready to play. it's because users provided feedback and pointed out bugs that the rooms creator(s) had to manually fix.

If you have compiled a working rom that can be flashed to your phone without error and boot, then you're already ahead of the game. Find a problem that makes it "unusable" and start figuring out why it's happening.

You don't need a spare device. Post your work in the dev section and see if our local members will beta test for you

Then either you can choose to use the home_csc and wipe, or not use any csc, and keep your data. I typically just leave it blank to be honest when I want to keep data.

If I flash this on my unlocked G965U1 unlocked version, will I get the wifi calling, video calling, and all the nice ATT bloat?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Yes and no. WiFi Calling and all of the bloat will be there and it will work as long as AT&T doesn't realize you are using a device you didn't purchase from them. Once they realize you didn't buy your device from them, they will disable your line from using WiFi Calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Thanks for the info.

Are you guys able to get LTE to browse the net while on calls?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
I'm not sure. I was never an AT&T customer.

After giving my girlfriend my S9 Plus and her fighting with AT&T over the WiFi Calling b/s, because they would keep disabling it on her after switching back to her S5 Active to get it re-enabled. I finally got her to switch over to T-Mobile. :P

Yes you can stays on 4G LTE on my AT&T Note9 and S9 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
I had T-Mobile for over 3 years. I just switched to Cricket Wireless that uses ATT towers because at my new job I got earlier this year, T-Mobile had very bad service.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
I can't complain about the service I have had with T-Mobile. In Virginia, it is better than most other providers. Blacksburg now has band 71 deployment and Hampton has pretty good band 12 service. In upstate New York and Canada, I haven't had any complaints either. Going up and down the east coast earlier this year, I didn't have any complaints, even after traveling through West Virginia. Obviously, other areas may vary.

On AT&T though, my girlfriend had no service in her Hampton apartment, no service inside of NASA Langley, and no service at her parents home in Itmann, WV. However, on T-Mobile, she at least has good service at home and at work now, including inside of the buildings.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Well I flashed this ATT on my unlocked 650U1 and nothing ATT showed up, not even boot logo. It showed the correct model as G965U and version BRJ5. Loaded everything in odin. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Did the flash say, passed, when it finished? Did you use the HOME_CSC when flashing instead of the correct CSC? Is your bootloader version of what you tried to flash the same or newer than what your device had previously? Did you have USB Debugging enabled in Developer Options?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Well, maybe I picked the home_csc. I'll try it one more time later. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The HOME_CSC basically prevents a proper conversion. A full wipe with the other CSC is needed to convert everything, including the available bands, APN settings, boot animation, and so on.

Does anyone know if this will work on my phone? I am using sprint unlock and using t-mobile
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
It will, but you will need to flash to the U1 firmware before you can flash the TMB U firmware properly. When flashing both, do not use the HOME_CSC's, because they will botch the conversion. You need to use the other CSC, which will wipe your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silentd3v:
Thanks for answering, how can I flash to U1 from U3?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Those are two different things. The 3 you are mentioning, is the bootloader version. You need to use a U1 firmware with the v3 bootloader or newer to flash successfully. The U1 I was referring to, comes after the model number. G965 is a Galaxy S9 Plus, the U after that stands for it being a carrier specific firmware, like USQU. A G965U1 contains a non-carrier specific firmware that works well with most carriers, like U1EU. In the 3BRJ5 at the end, the 3 is the bootloader version.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silentd3v:
would this work? I just don't have to use the home_csc file. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965U/TMB/download/G965USQU3ARG7/230014/
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Yes, as the second part of the conversion, but you should not flash directly from one U to another. Flashing to the U1 first is an important step in the conversion process. All ODIN umages contain 2 CSC's. You never use the HOME_CSC but you do need to use the other CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] silentd3v:

Well tried it one last time and I didn't even have a home_csc. Again, nothing ATT showed up. Its like it factory reset it, with just the software and model changed only.

Anybody else with an unlocked U1 USA version confirm you've been able to get full ATT bloat, etc by flashing this ATT firmware??
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Have you tried Updato?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
You need the non-home CSC. That's what supposedly forces it to setup from the sim. I'd also run the att userdata for good measure.

Edit: Also note that flashing fully to ATT won't give a U1 purchased device the things like WiFi Calling, Volte, etc. You need an ATT bought phone, because they go by IMEI numbers. If it isn't in their system, they won't add it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Ok got it to work finally. Didn't know I needed to have an ATT sim inserted before flashing the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jluxe:
I've been searching for a day and a half for this collection of links for my factory unlocked s9 (g960u1) to move to att firmware in order to get wifi calling (yes, I know the valid imei story).

Can anyone direct me to the latest ATT official files? ATT Website says ARK2 but I just checked an actual ATT branded s9 and it says it's on Brk2. I dont know the difference. updato has ARK5 which isnt the same and I want to be on official ATT version so i get OTA.

Have Odin, will travel ;)

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Use the BRJ5 Odin files in the OP. Then check for OTA. This is the latest ATT files available for Odin. Nothing else has the userdata for ATT, which you need for wifi calling, volte, advanced messaging, etc.

Edit: not sure why ATT went from B back to A firmware. Especially since the C leaks for Pie are based off of BRJ6 and BRK2. I'm wondering if the ARK2 is a typo and should say BRK2. Firmware.science is down so I can't check to see if ARK2 is a valid build.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
It's a typo my AT&T S9 Plus has as latest OTA BRK2.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jluxe:
OK the typo makes sense (I guess, haha), but my question is on files for the s9. If I understand correctly the OP is for s9+ so I should NOT use the OP files.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
The title of the thread mentions the S9 Plus, which is the G965. The S9 non plus model is the G960.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jluxe:
Yes you are correct, as I said I am grateful for the work here and I'm looking for the appropriate latest ATT files for the s9 (factory unlocked) aka g960u1.

I understand about the lack of userdata file but still looking for the odin files.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I don't think the U1 comes with userdata, which is the U carrier bloat. I have the 9+ so I don't know where to get the 9 files.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
AT&T doesn't release their files publicly, so you have to wait for them to be leaked. You can't flash the userdata from an earlier build with a different bootloader version with the current firmware unless you want some major issues. Flashing the AT&T firmware without the userdata in a conversion will leave you without WiFi Calling, VoLTE, and the rest of AT&T's features.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I think I am seeing your confusion. The U1 firmware is on Ark5 I believe, where as the U version is ok BRK2.

You will not get ATT features on the U1 firmware. The imei is irrelevant at that point. You have to run the U firmware with the bloat.

If you want ATT features, I'd look for Odin files for any v3 bootloader U firmware that has an ATT userdata. Use the CSC without the word home in it to ensure a full wipe. Make sure to use the patched Odin, and leave your sim card in during conversion.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jluxe:
Yes, this is what I'm looking for. The ATT files for the s9. I am already on the v3 bootloader. I would like to get the ATT firmware but I cannot find the correct files for v3 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I tried checking a few places and I didn't see anything for ATT for the S9, just the S9+.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronisham95:
From what I have been able to come up with and what I've seem on tons of forums arg7 is the only att Odin files I've been able to find with matching userdata (At&t) files.

And once you flash it. You will get ota's immediately. The first time I did it I received one update skipping straight to the latest firmware. The last time I had to update one by one. And I'm back on a firmware science beta build so I'm about to try it again.

Grab the G960U_RG7_3.zip and the 3rd file which says ATT userdata. That should get you to where you need to be.

The AT&T update that is. >_< hopefully its soon. I'm tired of having to run a custom build to use navigation gestures):
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I'm on CSA3 and Nav Gestures work fine. They worked fine on the last 2 Z builds also. I'm guessing one of the carriers will release a build very soon.

I'd say keep that official ATT build handy, and then when the odin files come out for any carrier you should be all set, just use home CSC to keep data. ATT tends to be the 3rd or 4th carrier when it comes to updates. They tend to release the last week of the month, or early the next month. So for a January level patch, I wouldn't expect to see an ATT release until the 26th or so, and maybe even the first week of February. If you see anything before that from ATT, it'll likely be a December patch which would be a CRLx release. Anything CSAx would be January.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jakeman19751023:
Ok here goes the question that has probably been asked at least a million times. I have Sim locked att. It's under contract so they won't unlock. Is there a way that I can unlock and then flash to ui. I want to get rid of att bloat and get to pie faster. However, I have some other questions as well? Will the international bands work with att? And if not to any of the above, I have 965u with 64G. Will trade for Pixel 2xl or 3 or 3xl. I seriously hate Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
You can flash to the U1 rom even though it is sim locked. You can also install the One UI for U or U1 without a problem. I'm on the CSA3 release on U with my ATT locked phone.

As for international bands, you would likely need to be on the U1 unlocked build. If ATT won't sim unlock your phone you would need to find someone to sim unlock it. I've heard it's not easy to sim unlock the S9 though.

Its odd they won't sim unlock it if your acct is in good standing. Last I knew as long as you had the phone more than 30 days, and your acct is in good standing, they will sim unlock your phone if your going overseas.....
