[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] K-alz:
These reps don't even know what a bootloader is, trust me. LOL

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Couldn't agree more. That's why I'm never buying any of these so called "flagships" anymore. I'll be heading towards those Xiaomi umidigi....etc phones. They're cheap and rootable. They look and feel premium, too. I think a lot of these great developers here on the forums should start working on these cheaper phones and leave these expensive bricks behind to bring back the fun of rooting and roming.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TWiiTCH:
Check out this thread... there IS some hope as you were stating, & others were criticizing you for having. Take a look see, start on page 1 & you will see this applies to the SM-N960W also.

I hope you are still active on XDA, there has been progress made but don't upgrade your phone to bootloader v2 firmware if it's released. Turn off OTA updates using package disabler for Samsung. Look for this package name.... com.wssyncmldm disabling this will prevent forced OTA updates!

Here is what I'm running, and how to tell bootloader version. I stayed on last v8.1.0 Oreo update, November release for ESK which is my carrier Eastlink mobility Canada, & I will not upgrade as I like & need the call recording feature that they took away when they released Android v9.0 Pie & I'm hoping for full root.

Circled in red, you see "U1" in the build number before "ARJA" at the end. Well That number #1 on my phone (Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960W Snapdragon) means I'm still on bootloader v1 which is what I was told in another forum I should stay with if hoping for root. If there is ever a #2 in the spot where their is currently a #1, then I wouldn't upgrade the phone as with each bootloader revision they fix exploits, loopholes & vulnerabilities, which will lessen your chances of being able to root your phone once it is 100% possible. We are on the way there now! ;)

Also read this thread to see how to disable updates, or even downgrade back to Oreo if you are on pie and didn't know how to downgrade & stop the auto updates. It's a pretty easy task.

If you need an older Samsung firmware to downgrade go to this site for Free high-speed Samsung firmware downloads, as they carry almost every firmware you could want.

https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model

Thought I'd shine some light onto what you & I have been hoping for. A lot of non believers out there who said it wouldn't happen, I say never say never. Just because one or two people believe it's not possible, doesn't mean there isn't someone more ambitious, persistent, & knowledgeable out there who can do things most cannot believe possible. Let's keep hope alive.

Cheers All!

The problem is I updated my phone to 9pie how to downgrade to 8 again?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
It's Snapdragon i can't find my firmware it's (Freedom mobile) which was wind mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
Here's my build number
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TWiiTCH:
Wind Mobile Was: (Globalive Wind Mobile) (GLW)

I don't know if you could use that firmware now, is your phone unlocked? You can check the provider code by dialing with your phone, the following key code provided, at the top of the screen you'll see after typing in the code with your phone dialer & hitting call button just as if you are making a call. the firmware you'll want will have the provider code listed at the very top. The string you type in is to see your carrier code is....

*#272*YOUR IMEI HERE#

Type in everything you see above, once you do the final character which is the # symbol, hit the call button like you would to make a call and you'll get this screen pop up with your carrier/firmware code listed at the top and it looks like this...

See at the top my carrier is ESK (EASTLINK) so I needed ESK firmware to downgrade. Whatever yours is, make sure to get the November firmware as it was the last Oreo Firmware v8.1.0

Yours will be one of...

Canada (Globalive Wind Mobile) (GLW)

Go here to see people are referring to freedom mobile as wind mobile so you will probably want GLW firmware.

https://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1902936-Free-unlock-codes-from-Wind-Freedom-yet

Get your firmware here....

https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=CB32C868F4D911E89F15FA163EE8F90B

If not you could use XAC firmware which is unbranded. Just understand the first sim card that you put into a phone with an XAC firmware is going to make the phone hooked/branded to that particular mobile carrier. So if you flash an XAC version firmware then put in, say my ESK sim card, the phone will be tailored to Eastlink, bloatware, internet browser home page, OTA upgrade dates, some phone options, and maybe boot logo, things like that. Make sure your active sim that you use goes in and no other beforehand.

Make sure to do your research on the topic. I've given you all I can info wise, provided you with the links for everything you need, and step by step instructions with photos. Sorry but if you need more it's time to start searching. It's not that hard to do, don't stress you'll get there.

Best Of Luck. Follow the steps & all will work. Tutorials are on YouTube also if you wanna see it done first.

Later yo!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:

Thanks man, it worked like a charm! I own the Nokia 6 Arte Black Edition (special edition on release) and it worked great without issues. It also fixed my problem with radio band inside this code settings: #*#*4636*#*#

A bit of advice: Guys, don't change the radio band because it will mess with the signal. For my case, I could use the 4G internet but couldn't make or receive calls/SMS , in other cases you can't have signal at all.

I got my phone from one of the carriers in the Philippines which is locked. So I decided to try out the unlock method of cellunlocker and here's what happened. First they tried to find an unlock code of my phone via my IMEI and sadly they didn't made it and so recommending me to try the software way and decided to give it a shot (desperately to unlocked my phone) and the procees went smoothly though and yes it unlocked my phone and be able to use any sim card, the problem is that it works only as for Call and Text but sadly Mobile Data isn't working :/ for other sim, mobile data works only with my phone's carrier sim. This thing happens when trying to unlock a device? Is my phone still has a possibility to do a full unlock since asking for an unlock code won't popped out anymore? Or I can't do more any unlock method with my phone? Is this good as dead? yay.

Can go to BL and "fastboot set_active a" then reboot to go from b to a. No problems switching a to b in TWRP or BL by set_active command. The real problem is that if I try to update and forget to go to BL I get bricked and have to run blankflash.bat.

Which takes me to a locked BL where I can't boot TWRP via fastboot...

I thought I got out the first time but I have not been able to recover without flashing stock which wipes or makes data partition unrecoverable.

Anyway... WTF did I do to BL to make it detect that it is locked when I have unlocked, and never relocked BL.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[Android General] Zillinium:
Originally founded in 2014 by Zillinium - an independent Android, Windows developer & creator from Australia

What you'll need

Similar scatter file ( MT67xx )

Working device with ADB Access

USB Cable

NotePad++ Text Editor

​

EXTRACT PARTITION IFO

Connect a working device to the computer using the USB cable

Enable ADB on the device

If you don't have ADB installed, I've provided one in attachments.

Use CMD to access the device shell OR use Terminal Emulator and just open it up.

Run

adb shell (- if on PC only)
cat /proc/partinfo

Edit Similar Scatter File

Open Similar Scatter File In NotePad++

Edit the linear_start addresses to the start addresses in ADB ( TermEmu ) for all of the images.

You may need to edit more stuff by finding the information on your device manually

You now have a scatter file with the correct addresses directly from your device, you will need to edit the platform at the top, and name of the file to correspond with your device.

Use ADB or Terminal emulator to run

getprop ro.build.platform

Put the Platform into the Scatter File, it's at the top of the file.

Rename the scatter file to the platform eg. MT67XX_Android_scatter.txt

Ok, so now you have a scatter file with corresponding addresses and platform you can give it a go in SP Flash Tool.

P.S

Try to get as much info from your device as possible, if you are using a similar enough scatter file, everything should work fine as you have the correct partition information & platform . ​
