[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Boblo:
According to many websites, it's very very likely this phone will have Pie. But the question is if that version will be the last one (not eligible for Android Q). It's well-known that Samsung do not care mid/low range models regarding upgrades (other than security patches).

Another question: does this phone still have the annoying FRP Lock protection? I would like to root the phone, but this protection is a pain in the ass. My old Galaxy Grand prime still has it.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Robert978:
If you want to root it you will lose the warranty... but then you can install a costume rom P,Q,etc...
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Boblo:
I think if I flash the stock ROM with Odin I will recover the warranty, right? I have already rooted my old Galaxy. The problem is the root access when the FRP Lock protection is still present.

When you root the phone, if you have configured any Google account (needed for Play Store), the phone does not boot when is rebooted (the bootloader detects an 'unofficial' firmware installed). In order to bypass it (and reboot your phone when is needed), you need to remove all your Google accounts first and therefore this is a PITA. So my question (to rooted users) is if this protection is still present, and if so, if there is a way to get rid of it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Boblo:
Hi,

I'm reading about rooting in this forum and I have realized that this model is not easy to root, specially if you already are in Oreo (very likely if I buy now the phone). I have found several threads about this question but it's not clear what is the 'best guide'. Also I have found the following tutorial HERE.

Can you elaborate a bit?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] catalem:
There's already a pretty good guide here on how to install a custom recovery and root this phone made by @corsicanu. I followed it just about a week ago when my phone was 5 days old and I had no problem whatsoever. I had OREO 8.0 and I was super scared about my phone being locked since I had never listened to that before. This phone is really worth it. Size, display and performance is 10/10 for me. On the contrary, the main camera is below average. I have yet to found a good version of the gcam since all I have tried are not working properly. My last device was a Xiaomi MI A2, but it only lasted two weeks. The reasons to replace the MI A2 are bad display outdoors, too big of a phone, super bad adio quality (headphone wise) plus no headphone jack, low lasting battery and no NFC. I swear to you there are very low options that are as packed as this galaxy a8 2018. It cost me 290€ on a retail store so I'm super happy.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Boblo:
Thanks. Is THIS GUIDE? And is your system stable with no important bugs?

Other than that... unlike older Galaxy models I cannot recover my warranty when the device is rooted, right? I have read that the warranty bit is changed, the bootloader detects an 'unofficial' firmware and there is no way to avoid this.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] catalem:
It is indeed. Flashing and rooting your device does not make it less stable. My galaxy a8 is working like a charm. I don't have my phone rooted but I have had it and the only problem for me is I have always a notificacion shown saying device is in danger, you must restart. Unlike some other devices, samsung smartphones are not able to be reverted. Once you trip knox, there's no going back. Even if you flash back an original ROM with ODIN, the phone will still known its been modified.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Boblo:
Thanks again. Where did you see that warning? Is it annoying? Can you hide it?

And a last question: I suppose you know the FRP Lock protection. With this guide, is the FRP Lock protection gone forever?

On a side note, I still have my old Galaxy Grand Prime (2015 model) rooted, with TWRP 3 installed and

the Knox counter has the value 0x0

(not tripped). So it seems new models like the A8 have a reinforced protection against hacking...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gingi999:
Thinking about getting the Note 9, currently on note 8, on black Friday. There is a deal via Samsung for the Verizon one for $600. I can sell my not 8 on eBay for 400. First, is it worth the effort?

Second, I need something that will allow me to freeze system apps. I used to use BK disabler, that stopped working, but I was able to get app freezer to work via adb on the note 8. So is there something good? The reason why is because I love the Samsung keyboard but also do about 50% of my typing via voice and the only way I found to get google voice input to work (permanently) with the Samsung keyboard is to disable the Samsung voice input app. I prefer not to root.

If you can get $400 on eBay for your used note 8 then go for it.

You can freeze apps with Titanium Backup (your phone has to be rooted).

I have problems with this twrp.

When i enter in recovery it ask for a password to decrypt the data storage. I tried everything but i don't know how to decrypt, So i can't mount Internal and SD Partition and neither root my phone

I tried to wipe data, but even in this case i can't navigate into internal storage.

Should i wait for an official TWRP?

same thing happened to me .. as I enter to the TWRP, I have being asked for the pin unlock password, which is not the one I have previously set on the miui. I rebooted to system, removed the pin protection and yet again it didn't helped with the TWRP asking the pass .. if I hit the cancel, I enter to the TWRP yet no any storage is mounted and can't do nothing further. So for a lot of us this guide is not 100% good.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] toni.pace:
I was finally able to root the phone, but i don't know exacly how.

BTW

My TWRP is V.3.2.3 v3 Special Edition mod by Mr-r00t

In TWRP just click "Cancel" to password request, then you should be able to see the content of the Sdcard.

From there i flashed "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018.zip" and "Magisk-v18.0(18000).zip"

Rebooted in system and did some setup in Magisk app

I did install also "Root checker basic"," Root Browser" , "Titanium Backup" from PlayStore.

In "Root checker basic" installed BusyBox too.

Finally root is working, and i was able to copy a new "Hosts" file in \system\etc, just to get rid of annoying ads .

Good luck
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] clemenza011:
Right, I managed the same last eve *with the other recovery to be honest) .. root after magisk works, and tapatalk is clean after adaway was installed .. yet my data is encrypted and I cannot for instance do the full backup from the twrp. I am concerning format data, as I understood that it should remove the encryption, yet I am not sure would I have to flash something (ROM?) after I format the data, or I could just reboot to the system, as is?

magisk manager shows ticked 'preserve force encryption' and unticked 'preserve avb2.0/dm-verify', I suppose that such situation corresponds to the fact that I am encrypted, and I have flashed disable_dm_verity, just like being said.

also, our (RN6PRO) devices have activated anti-roll-back (mine arb index is 4) so there should be no much space for mistakes.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] toni.pace:
Sorry i cannot help with that question about format DATA , my skills are limited.

My Magix manager shows the same " ticked 'preserve force encryption' and unticked 'preserve avb2.0/dm-verify', "

I am ok with my phone now, and don't want the risk to loose everything or to be forced reinstall all.

I hope someone else could answer this question.

Have a nice day.

for people that can't unlock his phone because to the error of chinese letters just download the mi unlock version 2.2 i tried AND WORKED,

AFTER THAT DOWNLOAD THE NO VERIFY VERIFICATION OF THE TUTORIAL DOWNLOAD MAGISK 18.1 WHEN YOU INSTALL TWRP FIRST TIME IT SHOW DECRYPT CODE TAP "CANCEL" AND YOU CAN RETURN TO THE MAIN PAGE.. AFTER THAT GO TO WIPE SECTION AND SELECT FACTORY RESET AFTER RESET INSTALL MAGISK AND THE OTHER FILE AND REBOOT AND IT'S DONE, YOU CAN USE INTERNAL MEMORY AFTER FACTORY RESET FROM TWRP BECAUSE I DID AND WORKED NOT NECCESARY TO HAVE AN SD CARD.. JUST GO TO THE MOUNT SECTION AND YOU COMPUTER WILL SHOW UP

Hi. Thank you for the guide, I followed it and it worked. I used the latest version of TWRP available on their website for this phone.

If anyone, in the end, has the phone on the boot animation for several minutes and the OS doesn't start, go to TWRP, go to Wipe and Format Data, reboot and the phone should finally start without issues. I don't know what I did wrong to face this problem :( I think I selected "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" when installing Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt, and maybe that's what caused this problem.

I have installed the latest version of Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt (https://xdaforums.com/t/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-disk-quota-disabler-11-2-2020.3817389/).

What does Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt do? Why is it necessary to install with TWRP on this phone?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KoronadalKid:
Previous day's I'm kinda disappointed with the battery life/SOT since I just get an average of 4-5 hrs. This time however, I can hit 6-7 hours. IDK what happened perhaps my charging habit? Or my habit of playing/using my note 9 while charging? Also I charge my phone overnight and I must say those did not hurt my battery but improved it. 2 hours SOT and I only lost 20%

So here is my issue.

While testing some thing. i did a remote wipe from my samsung account.

Now everytime the phone turns on its ask for password saying phone is lost found. I have tried couple of things. but it seems. It just wont remove or take any password. while it gives me the option to put a password. just doesnt like any password i put in.

I have a N960N korean 512gb Note 9

N960NKSU2ARI9_N960NOKR2ARI9_SKC - Firmware i flashed. Had to go to Binary 2 as . No options were available for Binary 1

*** looks like this might be what some ppl online call it. Please call me fix.**

No warranty in Canada. So out of luck.

I have tried wiping it and reseting it. But every time the phone starts up its ask for password. I try my password that i use. but doesnt work.

Mind you this is not google account . It looks like Samsung account password.

I cannot delete it.

I cannot change it.

Things i have tried.

1. Factory Binary. - Didn't help. Once i do and go about flashing stock ROM phone goes in a boot loop. I have tried flashing one file at a time. after flashing the binary. Then tried BL AP and Home CSC or Just CSC . phone goes in boot loop.

2. Then tried flashing different firmware from different variant - didn't work

3. then Finally. TWRP. Tried reset wipe cache. and adding OS. - Stock OS wont go. have to flash the whole thing. Then now trying Dr Ketans Rom. but same i can flash it. but as soon as the phone turns on . Its ask for password.

Also - I have a friend of a friend who works at Samsung Repair center here and they even tried to do what they call a kill flash. where it basically deletes samsung account and google account. but no available.

BTW my OEM and FRP Lock are off.

4. Someone Here suggested something about a EFS file. which i am not sure about.

Somehow this password seems like a Gate . where i can hop on flash and do anything inside. no issue. But in order to get the phone working i need the password. other wise the phone always boot up to that password screen and it wont let me bypass. I have tried all passwords that i know or use but non work. I am open for suggestions. I cannot send it for warranty as this is an International device and i am in canada . They wont warranty here. secondly i just lost my warranty by root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] willhemmens:
Was this the kind of Lock/Wipe you did from the Samsung site? It seems like whatever you chose to set that PIN to, will be the one to unlock your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] djkid:
Yup tried not working. and i cant access the wifi menu to even connect to wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
Hmm not sure, but I would try logging into your Samsung account (from your computer) and resetting your password. Then try that password on your phone when prompted. If still no luck, try going through the Samsung account (where you did a remote wipe) so you can do a remote unlock.

In the end your passwords should work though... otherwise this situation is no different than a 'found' phone (which we can't help crack).

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Wow. I had hoped I was heading in the right direction by using NookManager to remove all the B&N stuff and then gradually adding back just Library, Reader, and Home. Eventually it seemed I needed DeviceManager as well. Things worked!

But a logcat revealed constant (failed) calls for BNCloudservice and then infinite retries. All this stuff going on in the background.

So...I removed

all

the system apps I had added back, rebooted and ran another logcat. It's still doing it!!!! I tried renaming the jar file associated with BNCloudservice and this just wreaked havoc with the device.

I'm thinking that this is just impossible. Somehow they have the device so tangled and determined to "phone home" that you can't untangle it. Might as well let the whole system run in the background as it was intended and just ignore it with a new launcher and just use the Library and Reader as is.

Grr.....
