[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
It is not possible to root the US Snapdragon version of the Note 9. It's impossible to unlock the bootloader, and root has not and will not be discovered.

If you want root you need to buy an international Exynos version.

I made a sarcastic response, because this question has been asked about a hundred times on this forum. Yes, this forum is for you to learn. I WANT you to learn. But there's so much information here already. Either use the search function befotr asking a question (which is actually in the rules that you agreed to by signing up for an account), or use Google, which will often lead you to the relevant thread here on XDA. Teach a man to fish, or give a man a fish.

I guarantee if root had been achieved, it would be a stickies thread and the number 1 most popular thread on here.

As far as personal insults from you, they roll off my back. You don't know me. And Steve Buscemi who played Mr. Pink is one of my favorite actors, so that's actually cool.

Let's all remember that posting rude, disrespectful, insulting, and off-topic comments are violations of Forum Rules.

While I understand the frustration of dealing with those who ask without searching, or who start trouble, you can see how effective it is to remind them that they should first search; it just leads to more back and forth, bickering, and insults, etc....

I would ask that in the future, when someone is too lazy to search, if you do not feel like answering the question for the 100th time, simply do not respond at all, or if they become bothersome, simply REPORT their posts and allow Moderation staff to handle the situation.

As everyone can see, it went from a few lazy or insulting posts to nearly a page full with all the responses included

I appreciate all the members who use Xda as designed, who do their homework, search, and respond with helpfulness and respect.

Thanks!

Don't feed the trolls, become part of the solution (report troublemakers), not part of the problem (argue with troublemaker)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Truth. However, that is because Samsung allowed the international version to be bootloader unlocked. The US Snapdragon (N960U) can NOT be unlocked or rooted.

Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it!

I will laugh at you.

If you don't know what are you doing, just don't, turn around, shut down your PC and give up.​

This little gem that I ordered from Amazon and received 2 weeks ago, has been phenomenal!! I want to let you guys in on this secret, because it's the right thing to do. I haven't heard a single word about this screen protector in any forums including this one, so I thought I would share. It's essentially like the Dome, includes a UV light and is less than 10 bucks.

The one and only review on the product is mine. The review that I wrote a week ago still holds true, except that the nano-wax I've been applying to the protector is not longer needed. The protector is smooth as the factory glass now that I've applied nano-wax a half a dozen times. I haven't applied wax in a week or so and it's good to go.

Anyway, if you have any questions about the protector let me know, I will be glad to help. I'll post a photo of my post-install for reference here in a few.

Cheers!

I just ordered it, I'll trust you and update this when I receive it. I hope it fits with my OtterBox tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Tornlogic:
Last photo in my images link shows the protector with my case which is a TORRAS Crystal Clear. It's not very aggressive when it comes to screen coverage so I think it should fit most cases. It's also fit nicely with my Spigen Rugged Armor case.

I also ordered a second protector as a spare, that's how much I have faith in it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] gamekill:
Well I wish you had written about it five days ago. I had already spent money on a two-pack of cheap-ish screen protectors, and after they arrived I thought they did not look that nice, so I did not even try them out and ordered a two-pack of the Dome.. which is yet to arrive..

I hope it is good at least, as I have spent a lot of money already just for this matter!

Thanks for sharing, I hope it will help other Note 9 owners.

Yea, I know how problematic it can be to find a good screen protector for infinity displays. I'm happy with this protector, and I've noticed they don't sell one for the Note 8, which sucks because my son has a Note 8 and we are still looking for a good solution for that phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
The issue with the last one I bought like this...it was the JOLOJO 2 PACK...was after a day or two, a bubble appeared on the edge. Then it just grew and grew until both sides had completely lifted.

I noticed a similar bubble near your volume rocker. Have you had any issues with the edges lifting?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Gil Smash:
Says unavailable for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Tornlogic:
Your right, there is a bubble on the edge of the protector near the volume rocker. This happened when I was out hunting for the day in 20 degree weather, and the phone was kept in my jacket, so there was not body warmth.... I don't know if this was the reason the bubble formed or not, but I took it out of my pocket and it was like that. Anyway, it's not like other bubbles I've got from similar style protectors. If you press on it hard, the bubble doesn't change size or shape. The is no gap for me to put my finger nail under it and lift, but if I try, it doesn't change size or shape. The gab formed Nov 22nd, and it hasn't got any bigger. It's holding steady. Also what's unusual of this bubble is that it's not visible when the display is lit. It's only visible when the display is dark. I'll show a picture when I get a chance.

Also yes, they seem to be out of stock. :( Glad I got my spare while I could.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I was using the Cubevit PET screen protector and loved it, but it was a fingerprint magnet, and like all PET screen protectors got pretty scratched up.

I had put a QiMai TPU screen protector on my wife's S9+, and you could barely tell it was there. I have to occasionally pick up her phone and look really close to make sure it's still on there. But since it was TPU I worried about it having that rubbery feel, and the SPen leaving marks.

I decided to give it a try on my Note 9 anyway, and seriously, it's the best screen protector put there. It may not offer the drop protection of the OP's screen protector, or a Whitestone Dome, but as far as clarity and feel, there's no equal.

It is crystal clear. Matter of fact it covers the FF camera and all the sensors, but it causes no distortion or interference. And it's almost as slick as the factory glass. It has no rubbery drag at all. And fingerprints wipe away very easy. And no indents from the SPen, unless you really dig in. Even then they disappear quickly.

Ringke makes a similar screen protector, as does a few other companies, but I haven't tried them. Here is the link to the QiMai if you all want to try it.

North America variants should stay North America. There's plenty of North America variants you can flash on H931-- US998, AS998, H933, VS996.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You need to follow the Frankenstein instructions. There's a specific order to do the flashing and you use Dev Patched LGUP. To convert H931 to US998, you have to flash US998 Nougat first, do a Master Reset, then flash US998 Oreo. It's all in the instructions.

Hello!

Is unlocked H931 free to use on other operators without flashing?

What is the purpose of installing another rom if yes?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
If truly carrier unlocked and still H931 firmware, you CAN use on other operators -- but you still won't get updates. AT&T only gives updates to customers on their network and they don't publicly release KDZ. They only give OTA updates.

Bottom line: only AT&T customers want H931 firmware... For everyone else, it's useless.

By using Frankenstein method, you convert H931 to a North America carrier unlocked model which WILL receive KDZ updates. There are several North America carrier unlocked variants, but US998 is most popular.

Also, H931 doesn't have fastboot flash commands, so can't be bootloader unlocked and rooted as "H931". (But you can convert back to H931 after bootloader unlock and root, if you wish -- using a TWRP-flashable H931 stock firmware ROM.) Of all the North America variants, US998 has fastboot flash commands.

_________________________

I'm an att prepaid customer. Will it have adb after flash to us998 and bootloader unlock, and then flashing back?

Is it true that I want to flash back to h931 because there are two lte bands I need enables for full coverage?

I'm assuming there are no ways to enable those radios while on us998?

Will this work the same with the ls998 v30+? Ie., flash to us998, unlock, root, flash to h931 to get my bands?

Thanks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
If you read the part you quoted... of the North American variants, only US998 has fastboot flash commands. But if your bootloader is unlocked on US998 and you have TWRP installed, then you can flash H931 stock ROM (aka TWRP-flashable zip) to convert back to H931. Then you will have all the H931 bands.

With TWRP installed, you don't need ADB any more. We are only using ADB to unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I think it's fair to point out that once you convert H931 to US998 by flashing the US998 KDZ, you can never fully convert back to H931, as no KDZs are available from AT&T. You can flash the H931 ROM with TWRP, but not the full firmware.

For most people that's not a problem, as US998 is superior to H931 in almost every way.

Only concern would be that you'd never receive OTA updates again, even if you're an AT&T customer. All updates will have to be manual (which I prefer anyway, but some people may be different).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Right, but the AT&T customers (very few) are people who want unlocked bootloader and TWRP. They can get that, and with TWRP-flashable zip, can also get AT&T features and those two extra bands back, IF they are AT&T customers.

However, most of the people (like the person who started this thread) who buy these H931 are NOT AT&T customers. This person wanted an EU H930, but got an H931 because it was probably cheaper. :)

These 2017 H931 phones are being sold around the world on eBay or eBay type sites as "UNLOCKED" LG V30 H931. Yes, they are carrier unlocked by code -- but will not receive updates for these owners who live all over the world. The only way to do that is to convert to another North American variant and use LGUP to update. The best choice is US998 firmware. (And just converting to update has nothing to do with bootloader unlock and root -- which some people don't want to do, they just want updates.)

These people don't care they will never be able to return to unrooted, bootloader locked stock H931 AT&T firmware -- as they can just sell the phone as pure stock bootloader locked US998 on eBay or whatever. The same way converted LS998 V30+ are sold as US998 V30+.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I think you know I agree with all that. If I had an H931 myself, I would convert it in a heartbeat. If my H932 could be converted to US998 I would do so too (despite loosing band 71).

But not everybody is the same. For example, while I know it wasn't a concern to you, preserving my 2-year warranty was necessary for me in case of hardware issues, and held me back from rooting for almost a year. To others, downloading KDZs from a non-LG site and installing them with Dev Patched LGUP -- simple enough for you and me -- may seem rather involved compared to receiving an OTA update. And yet others may want to be able to sell their phones as complete stock to a user who has absolutely no idea what we are talking about on XDA, and who expects OTAs like if they'd bought the phone from AT&T.

So, everybody is different. Which is why I think it is fair to at least mention the consequences of procedures we advocate here. And I advocate them too, so I am in completely sync with you there :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
While what you say is correct, there are many reasons you cannot get an OTA on an LG phone...

* My wife can not get an OTA on her completely stock native B&H Photo US998, which has never been bootloader unlocked.. Others with B&H Photo (which is the OFFICIAL carrier unlocked US998) have come here complaining they are stuck on Nougat since 2018.

* Older India H930DS owners can not get an OTA update on their phones. (LG changed the supply chain for the newer India H930DS phones and older ones can no longer receive OTA updates.). These are people who bought India H930DS brand new, when first released in India and LG has abandoned them.

My point is: LG OTA updates are never guaranteed in any way whatsoever.

That does not prevent those people from selling those US998 or H930DS phones, just because it doesn't receive OTA updates. That's not important when selling the phone. It's a used phone, sold as is.

At some point I'm going to sell my wife's phone, and it's going to be sold as genuine carrier unlocked US998 -- and I'm never going to mention I had to MANUALLY update it to Oreo and probably to Pie (when it becomes available and is stable). I'm not going to mention it doesn't get OTA updates.. It's going to be sold as-is.

These H931 people come here looking for solutions because they cannot update their phone. So, I'm not going to talk about potential problems for potential future owners. ;) I'm going to solve the current owner's problem right now. Future owners will probably be glad that it's a carrier unlocked US998. ;)

Same with LS998. They HAVE to convert to another variant -- to not only carrier unlock, but to get updates. I'm NOT going to tell them they can't carrier unlock their phone because of FUTURE owners who may want stock LS998 on Sprint?

I'm not arguing with you, I'm just telling you why I will never ever talk about OTA updates for someone who doesn't own this phone right now.

Thanks to our friend [MENTION=7601808]hikari_calyx[/MENTION], who provided Internal OTA Update zip package to Android Pie for Nokia 8, we can test it before Nokia release it. The link contains two zips

1) December patch for Oreo for Nokia 8

2) Update to Pie for Nokia 8

Link:

https://mega.nz/#F!W50gzawY!nC8Yb9yE6n08gGafFi700A

Preconditions:

1) All must be Stock, no root, magisk, xposed, no mods etc.

Steps you have to do is:

1) Download NB1-488L-0-00WW-B01-488K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip - this is December Security Patch

2) Update manually (2 ways)

a)

- Copy the file on internal memory root folder

- Dial

*#*#874#*#*

and there will be possibility of update (this way you may use this guide https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md#ota-installation to keep Magisk)

b)

- Connect your phone to PC

- Go to stock recovery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmewL1i50c0)

- Choose Apply Update from ADB,

- Type

adb sideload path_to_zip/NB1-488L-0-00WW-B01-488K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip

where path_to_zip is a path to the location of the file

- Wait and reboot phone, you should have December Security Patch

3) Repeat whole steps froim point 2) for the NB1-5110-0-00WW-B03-488L-0-00WW-B01-update.zip

4) Since [MENTION=7601808]hikari_calyx[/MENTION] provided us next internal update, repeat steps for NB1-5110-0-00WW-B05-5110-0-00WW-B03-update.zip and NB1-5110-0-00WW-B07-5110-0-00WW-B05-update.zip.

5) If you want to root your phone, here you may find stock and patched with twrp boot.imgs provided by [MENTION=9309516]THMSP[/MENTION]

https://mega.nz/#F!r3RUnaiC!p8FZqNpiPLK8XNwYusJv1Q

Like I wrote at the beginning, it is internal update, so I would strongly recommend to unlock bootloader in case something goes wrong. Additionally it is not known at the moment whether it can be possible to update to official version when it comes, so most likely downgrade will be necessary.

As always, you do all on your own risk and I won't be responsible for any damage you do to your phone.

PS: Here is the proof:
