As far as I remember you flashed Oreo "in panic" and nothing wrong happened. But your choice :good:

In your exact case I can give you 99% guarantee that everything will be fine (I mean without waiting 7 days) ;)

.. but I can give you 100% guarantee that there is no other way. When you are locked with Pie bootloader and custom binaries (and at the same time NOT locked with Oreo BL) - you can permanently unlock your phone only with Pie bootloader and official Pie beta binaries

Well... IMO with RC8 it is safe. I'm on Pie BL all the time (see post #97). RC7 reportedly had a problem with clean install but for me it turned out that it was related to Magisk v18 (crash / random reboot at first boot after clean flash)

If you are scared a little - you can downgrade BL to Oreo first :) if "KG state: Prenormal" has not been triggered yet - you will be able to return to Pie BL at any time without problems

I would not recommend you to use older apps. No other ideas except dirty re-flash the ROM. Still no problem here. Even downgraded BL to Oreo temporarily because of no other ideas - all sounds work as expected

[MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION], I updated my bootloader as described in post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78379098&postcount=86, option 2. It takes time, but at the end ... It was working perfect .... :good::good: After that, I've installed RC7, without any problem and everything seems to working fine. Do I understand it correct that the only difference between RC7 and RC8 is the absence of installing the BL and the downgrade of Magisk v18 to Magisk v17.3?

If that's the case, I'm not going to install RC8 ...... :D:D

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AlexBrookes:
Just to make you guys aware, my OEM Unlock option disappeared after flashing this (No disrespect to OP, love the ROM) and I have to wait 7 days. Not sure how this happened...

Edit: I've worked out a way to bypass the 7 day wait period.

1- Go to system settings, click on "date and time"

2- Disable "automatic date and time" and manually set the date to two weeks previous to today's date

3- Go onto the "system updates" section, disable "check for updates automatically"

3- Click on "manually check for updates", wait a few minutes, it should say "registering device"

4- Reboot your phone

5- Enable developer options, and viola!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] _alexndr:
ZRLF build will contain full protection against such situation - side effect will be that OEM unlock togglle will show wrong state (see post #1 for details)

Thread has been updated :cool:

(thanks again to [MENTION=4128352]ASHLEY117[/MENTION] for G960F dump :good: )

I left Magisk v17.3 inside the ROM because of problem with 18.0 with clean install (strange auto reboot happens once, after performing initial setup, but this problem exists also in pure beta stock ROM after wipe data & clean Magisk install, so not ROM related)

In case you dirty flash ZRLF over ZRL5 - just update Magisk to 18.0 again via Magisk Manager

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] melonhead7007:
This post is to spread the knowledge about the recent software beta update android pie / one ui for the s9+ us( snapdragon variant ).

A lot of people including me faced a problem of not being able to use volte and wifi calling on us phones specially with Indian networks like JIO.

The update was manually installed using this link ,

https://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s9-plus-android-9-pie-download-one-ui/

There is no need to flash anything or change any csc , my csc status is still XAA but jio works just fine.

Volte automatically with the first boot itself was turned on.

Wifi calling keeps disabling but people update if your work !

Shoutout to all the people stuck with unlocked ( actually locked xD ) phones to use volte features.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rythym05392:
Your post brings new hopes for me. I have a Unlocked T Mobile Galaxy S9 with TMB CSC on it. I have a few questions

1) Is your original device 965U1 or you flashed 965U1 firmware to your 965U device ?

2) What was the CSC on your phone prior to Android Pie update you made ?

3) With Jio did you have a challenge where you couldn't make calls from direct phone dialler and had to use Jio voice ? But now Jio voice is no longer needed after android Pie Update ?

4) Did you have Jio SIM inside phone while doing update or removed it ? I see posts saying that SIM inside phone influences CSC Config

5) I assume Samsung Pay is still a no go in India with XAA CSC. Please confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] melonhead7007:
1. Original device - 965u1

2. Csc prior to update was XAA and still is the same.

3. Yes , i couldn't make calls before the update without the jio voice app. But after the update , normal dialer works just fine.

4. That really doesn't make a difference . Mine was in the phone during the update. The csc is still XAA , flashing pie didn't change the csc , only due to the beta nature or the update , samsung might have made some changes and a mistake served us as a boon.

5. Samsung pay works just fine for me , using in India.

There's a reason why wifi calling doesn't work on this beta is because the csc is only loaded with config supporting sim cards from US. Preloaded config are from companies like sprint , tmobile, etc. Hence , no change in csc means no change on config and thus wifi calling on jio doesn't work.

Another update , only update to beta 1 and stay on it , in beta 2 , they fixed this mistake making any volte carrier non working again .
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rythym05392:
It is bad news that XAA CSC no longer supports JIO volte. I thought Android Pie brought in a fix for this issue.

I have the S9, and not sure if the same bug in Beta 1 as in S9+ that you saw is true for the S9.

Hello. I tried to update TWRP by installing new version of TWRP, and now I am not able to enter TWRP at all. When I press "Recovery" it just come black screen. I was thinking to try to install TWRP again, but cant root OS (I am on Lineage 14.1 (7.1.1 or 7.1.2), which I can enter with outh problem). I tried to root with Kingroot, but it fails every time, and only other solution I have find on internet is with SU true Recovery (that I cant enter).

Question 1: How to root Lineage 14.1 with out SU instalation true TWRP (and is that possible solution on missing recovery?)

Question 2: Do somebody knows how to get to TWRP?

Thank you for any suggestion!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srpskiinat:
No answer on this post, but I managed to re-enter TWRP and to root Lineage. What I have learned from this is my phones recovery mod go black after updating TWRP above version 3.1.1. Screen is just black (instead of recovery there is black colour). When I downgrade to TWRP 3.1.1 everything works fine. Not being able to update to newer version of TWRP means that I can't install any Android abow version 7.1.

1. Do somebody know what is wrong with TWRP installation? Is that something common?

For some reason, my Galaxy A520w won't boot. When I plug it in to the computer/wall, it only shows the charging icon. It kind of starts at 0% and quickly moves to 95% and slowly goes up to 100%.

The power button doesn't boot the phone, and I can't seem to get into recovery/download mode with the volume buttons while plugging it into my computer.

If anyone has any idea on what to do, it would be appreciated. Thank you!

I didn't purchase the XZ2 because of the lackluster ROM development. I read that there were some issues with a DRM being broken that caused the camera to fail. Does this announcement by Sony indicate that the phone is easier to make roms for?

Yes, but the announcement is too early.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Warwickeo:
Recently I got my Mi 8 running MIUI 10.0.0.3.0 (Stable). It is a global version with a locked bootloader right now.

I got a few problems:

1) Camera shutter sounds within whatsapp/instgram even in silent mode

2) No notifications in the topbar (I heard that the beta solved this), only if slide the notification bar down

3) Camera quality, oh gawd. It's really awful and like two steps down from my S7 Edge. Red colors are shown orange and the details are missing. This is ridiculous. Saw a few reports about this.

4) Sometimes even with silent mode on I hear the notification sound

Most imporant point is 3) that I want to get fixed. Will a custom rom fix my problems?

Also got any recommendation for a custom rom? I want it stable, maybe a few tweaks (like accu percentage) and I need magisk for google pay.

Can you post camera samples? I"m curious to see what bad shots on the phone look like. Mine are excellent.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
Some if not all of these can be fixed after an update. You should also attempt to mess with the camera AI, HDR, etc. to see if your results change. Usually custom roms make it uglier, but IDK about the Mi 8. GCam seems to be stealing the show, try that perhaps?

He may be talking about the pixelation issues, especially when using some app's camera feature, or in poor indoor lighting conditions. In the beginning I broke my head as to how it scored such a high DxOMark when I took shots in my place, which is not that great. Then took some outdoor shots, shots at a friend's place (with better lighting) and some shots in very low light at night and was stunned.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Tseabra:
I also got the mi 8 since my S7 Edge is getting old and when playing with the camera on my office I noticed massive flickering (banding/white pulsing effect)s.

I know this is "normal" but I comparing with my old S7 Edge and some random colleagues iPhone 6 and the flickering was definitely much worse on the Mi 8.

I tried to change the band frequency in the settings but the improvements were minor.

Can this be a defect of my phone or does the Mi 8 camera just sucks on this?

Hello,

I acquired a HP Slatebook 14-p091nr recently and was hoping I might be able to get a newer version of Android to run off of it. It currently has the latest 4.4.2 update. I know a lot of today's apps need at least 5.0. I have attempted to find anyway to update or root to no avail. Any suggestions or is 4.4.2 the best option? Thank you for your time.
[General Questions and Answers] EnkryptedSpirit:
Hi. I know this is an old post, but root is possible for this device. You have to have a male to male usb cable to attach to pc to root. The right hand side usb is I/O data. There are no android update options for this sadly. I was part of a group once that was trying to make custom firmware and device drivers to upgrade the android os, but the proprietary hardware made it impossible.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Daha3ker:
Unlocking more bands (specifically band 12) is on the way, please be patient as there are a lot of bugs with having a modified modem firmware.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE! YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID IF YOU FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL!

This took like 2 weeks to figure out, I was about to give up, but then it worked. VoLTE on band 4 and 2 for T-Mobile in the USA!!

I have only tested this on my phone, but it should work on others (assuming it is still an A2). I have not verified if this works for phones converted to the 6X so if you want to try please be careful.

Alright, enough with the warnings and stuff.

1. First, enable usb debugging and plug your phone into your computer.

1. Download qpst and install it. You will also need this file . Just save it somewhere, we will use it in a minute.

2. run the following commands (note that you MUST be rooted to enable this. The mod survives returning to stock unrooted, and even survives OTA so you can unroot when finished if you want.):

'''

adb shell

su

setenforce 0

setprop sys.usb.config diag,serial_cdev,rmnet,adb

'''

3. once installed there should be an entry in your start menu. open the folder labelled qpst and select the program "PDC".

4. click the Device dropdown and select the Qualcomm device. (it may not show up first time, make sure you have installed the drivers for your device)

5. once you select your device you should see a lost of items, this can take a minute depending on the speed of your computer.

6. click the load button and select the mcfg_sw.mbn you downloaded earlier.

7. "Commercial-TMO" should now be a listing in the description. Highlight it and right click on it, hover over "SetSelectedConfig" and select "sub0". Let it load for a bit.

8. it should now say pending on the Sub0 column of the Commercial-TMO. Now click activate and let it load.

9. on your phone, you must disable reigon checking. To do so go to your phone app and type in the following: *#*#86583#*#*

10. reboot your phone.

This worked for me, I have not verified that it works for others yet, so if it works for you, please let me know. Also let me know of any bugs.

Could you also take a screenshot of 4g while on a call?

I definitely see that your method unlocks some options in phone info, in the screenshots, but it doesn't necessarily prove anything if you can't see 4g while in a call and see a difference in speed. I notice the difference in speed when trying to do things on a call while on 3g, so if I were to do this I would definitely be able to tell it worked or not.

If you want a specific screenshot let me know, I have been using this for a while though with no issues. The Band 12 has a lot of tuning data required and may not be compatible with all a2 devices without buying tuning equipment. (I used a friend's and hoped this was not the case) :/ I will keep working on it though. All is not lost yet.

As for the device not showing in the computer, it does require root as of the pie update because xiaomi disabled diag mode by default... :/

To enable it in the pie update you need to enter the following in adb shell for it to show up in qpst:

su

setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

Note, do not reboot yet, rebooting resets these values..

Then re- insert the phone into your computer and it should show up.

The nice thing is that this survives ota and root removal once put on so if you want ota you can have it, just unroot once you get the mod working.
