This is impossible without Samsung's signatures that's used when creating their proprietary firmware, including bootloaders. And this has NEVER been leaked or otherwise been made available to the public and never will be. Once a locked bootloader is flashed onto the phone at the factory, it is impossible to flash unofficial firmware, recoveries or bootloaders. Only official firmware with correct signatures can be flashed. If this was doable, there's lots of capable people out there who would have already been on top of this. The only thing that might help would be a leaked engineering firmware which is official but not fully functional and most likely wouldn't be unlocked anyway. Going off past experience with the leaked engineering bootloaders and kernels. which where problematic for daily use. I hope this helps you understand a bit more about this topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Unfortunately SOL....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] anasrocks:
Thank you for your explanation tx. Then our only shred of hope is a leaked firmware. Disappointing when you pay that much money and you get a locked bootloader, I which they had a dev version like HTC does sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
It's not disappointing though. You buy it knowing it's a locked bootloader.

You want to unlock the bootloader? By a N960F or a N9600.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] anasrocks:
I believe the lte bands are weaker on those models compared to the US version, at least that's what I saw on frequency check website. Correct me if I am wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I honestly have no idea. If you do some searching here, there's plenty of discussion of using the N960F and the N9600 on US carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDSL:
1st phone ive had where im not worried bout it being locked especially since im able to flash the u1 firmware which gets rid of all the carrier bloat..i dont need wifi calling or video calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup, last phone I unlocked the bootloader on was the S7 Edge Exynos. Well I bought it used and the bootloader was already unlocked. From there I switched back to Nexus 6P, then Pixel XL. Didn't unlock on either of those. Since then I've had an S8+, Note 8, Pixel 2XL, and now the Note 9. Didn't even care about bootloaders on any of them.

And WiFi calling works on T-Mo with the U1 firmware as does VoLTE. I use Google Voice and Hangouts, so video calling from the stock dialer doesn't work for me anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDSL:
I still had my 6P hehe...i dont even like talking on the phone let alone video lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramiss:
Honestly the only thing I miss now with having a non-rooted phone is the ability to do full app backups. It kills me, in this day and age, that there is no way in Android to backup/restore all app data. Everything else about rooting for me was about fixing issues (battery, interface, tethering etc), which are all kinda non-issues now. Would be nice to completely uninstall apps, but disabling them works too.

I'm also not going to buy the inferior Exynox just so i can root it to make it slightly better, but less great, than the Snapdragon variant. Rooting also kills a lot of features and apps.

My $0.02
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chetly968:
I have the U1 and it has WiFi calling. Is it different if you have to flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
It's not available for all carriers in the U1 firmware. As far as I know, only T-Mo supports WiFi calling on the U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ogretech:
Does the stock dialer not work with US carriers when using the U1 firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDSL:
with at&t? i think its because it doesnt have the at&t stuff for wifi calling and video
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes it uses the stock dialer, but it doesn't support video calling or VoLTE. If you have T-Mo it DOES support WiFi calling and VoLTE, but not video calling.

Am I missing something? Isn't this thread about installing a custom recovery and unlocking a Snapdragon Note 9?

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9...ecovery-twrp-galaxy-note9-snapdragon-t3845536
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You're missing that it's for the 9600, which is a Snapdragon, not the 960U. Samsung allows the 9600 to be bootloader unlocked. They don't allow rhr 960U to be bootloader unlocked.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] cokey77:
Have just realised Google photos back up doesn't back up Samsung motion pictures it just backs up as a normal picture is there anyway to fix or retrieve these pictures so that motion pictures work again ? It seems to back up pixel and iPhone motion pictures but shows no love for Samsung and yes I have the motion picture remover option turned off in Google photos which would only save motion pictures as a normal picture.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] proces:
Hi! I have similar problem with note9.

1. Live photos that made on samsung camera app on android version lower then 9 not recognizable as motion by google photos. So probably backup can also remove it. But backup in full format, download it back to phone and try to play it with samsung gallery. Not sure, but it should keep file as is, without reformatting. This works in this way on my wife's S8+ (still android 8.0)

2. After I got android 9 on my note9, with new samsung camera app, live photos detected as "motion included" in google photos.

But not playable in google photos (same via web), export to video of gif gives an error too.

Full size backup and restore keeps the motion.

Smells like google photos service bug, but looks like google don't care.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] proces:
Now, when I retested all this behaviour..

Now, when I retested all this behaviour, google photos restore live photos without motion!!!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sautzer:
Hi guys, I've got this smartphone just by two days and I've upgraded it to Oreo (G935FXXU3ERHC) and rooted with Magisk. So this are my questions, the first thing is debloating. Is there any aroma debloater so that I can choose what to debloat? Alternativetly could you suggest me a good debloater? For now I'm disabling services and app with Titanium Backup but if there's a safe way to debloat is better so that I can free space

Second question is about soundmod. On my previous S6 I had DivineBeats V10 and for me was the best soundmod. Do you advice me other mod or I should stick with the DivineBeats?

Is there anyway to get the advanced power menu so I can reboot to recovery/download mode or soft reboot without using the buttons?

Then I've seen some script that states to improve battery and performance, which should I install?

And finally, there'are magisk module that can never miss with S7E?

I'm sorry for all this questions but I haven't much free time in this period and I can't test by myself or do appropriate research, thanks you all!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herlgl:
I'm on Android 7 with a rooted phone.

I do not use any lockscreen protection like password or pattern.

An app I use now wants me to enter my password every time I open it, because it tells me my phone is no secure, because I don't have a lockscreen password.

How do I prevent this app from getting this information? I'm not really into some app telling me what I should do with my phone.

Thank you.

So, i have a question about an unlocked phone like the 8502.

I would like to buy an 8502 but would like to be able to cook roms. Does anybody have any resources for people doing dev work for the 8502?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ekerbuddyeker:
I have this device, but baed on the relatively few post on xda it doesn't seem to be very popular and there doesn't seem to be a critical mass to get a rom cooker. shame cos this could be a great device if it had a better rom. its not as stable a device as my other machine: samsung i780 but I keep coming back to it because it is the highest specified front keyboard device out there - better than the i780 and the Kaiser (had one of those for 6 months). I may have a go at extracting the rom and creating 6.1 if there is sufficient interest (and if I can figure it all out!).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] treoreloaded:
i just got this to because of the full qwerty keyboard! coming from tilt II this is a great phone! only thing is my microSD card (6GB) is not working:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] too.many.gadgets:
Anything to free up a bit more RAM please......

The support from imate is pretty ordinary to say the least. I have the Aus Telstra version and without any other software installed it is using about 65mb of RAM. I have installed MemMaid as a trial to recover some but with not much luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ekerbuddyeker:
anyone found an SDHC patch that doesnt mess the phone up? I have had stability issues ever since I had this device, did a hard reset and installed everything slowly. Turns out that SD cards over 2mb even with the patch eventually destable the device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ginloin:
If you want to free up some RAM, use MemMaid (or something similar) and disable the imate service from the startup routine. This takes up a whole bunch of memory. This will mean however that you can't use the imate configuration and security services, but not many people use this anyway I think. Up to you I guess, it's been worth it for me. It makes a noticeable difference to the speed, even improving video feedback considerably.

Also, it's not the cards over 2GB that are destabilizing the device - it's the patches. There is no patch that works properly for these devices yet, but supposedly imate are working on one to include in a new ROM. All the SDHC patches lock up wireless and/or cause other problems, so the most you can use is a 2GB card. Pretty annoying, but a lot of people are pretty agro about it and I've read elsewhere that supposedly it's a priority for imate to get it sorted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dinkydong:
How much additional RAM can u free up by removing Imate startup services?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ginloin:
I freed up over 5MB. With a couple of other minor tweaks I start up with around 40MB free. But that was the major one. You can free up another 4-5MB or so by disabling the imate operator skin in the registry, but this causes the keyboard to behave a bit differently. It no longer intelligently knows when you need to use numbers - you must hold the Fn button down every time. So for example, I use a simple PIN lock, and with the skin enabled, the phone knows that this input can only be numbers so that's all it lets you enter. Which means you don't have to hold the Fn button down to enter them. With the skin disabled, you have to hold Fn to unlock the device, which means you can't unlock it one handed. Another example is say searching contacts. With it enabled, as you start typing, it matches all contacts that have those letters in the name AND, if they are also number buttons, any contacts that have those numbers in their phone number. With the skin disabled, it only matches letters unless you hold down Fn, then it only matches numbers. And so on...

I also read someone else say that with the skin disabled, you can't make video calls, but I can't confirm that as I don't make them. I guess then with the skin it would be whether you'd prefer more memory but slightly less functionality. As far as I can tell, the phone works fine otherwise with it disabled, but I personally have chosen to leave it enabled. It does seem like an awfully bloated skin though...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mass1milian0:
so what happened, I had a request for hard reset for a spectrum mobile, which is surprisingly difficult because of the lack of any information about this phone online, since there was no recovery (no kidding there isn't any) and the only thing I managed to exploit was a little bug in the software that allowed me to enable debugging, the phone was pin locked, the guy who told me to reset didn't know the pin as he doesn't remember it, but i've made sure that it was his phone, anyways, what happened is that I managed to enable USB debugging, and I wanted to install twrp on that phone in order for a more secure installation, turns out, it has no unlock OEM in its configuration nor the command

Fastboot unlock oem

works, what I did instead i used fastboot to clear cache and userdata, hopefully resetting the pin, and what happens is that I'm now locked in a boot loop with a recoveryless phone that has literally no other combination than volup+power which now doesn't even work TL, DR:

I'm stuck with a Chinese phone in a boot loop without any possible recovery nor fastboot, combinations don't work and the computer doesn't recognize the phone

Storage: 8Gb

Getting BLUE SCREEN after flashing some ROMS

currently i am on CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-UNOFFICIAL-z2_plus-20180913-0919.zip

some time before all roms are working but now when i try to change i am ending up a blue screen which goes on boot and boot

i tried flashing stock rom using qpst and then flash other some roms but i ended up same problem

had this issue mostly with pie roms(pixysos and bootleggers)

but not having this problem with havoc os(pie) (Havoc-OS-v2.0-20180914-z2_plus-Unofficial) & Deodexed-Oreo-Stock-Rom-Zuk-Z2-Plus-4.0.233-ST (porting from ZUK Z2 PRO)

please help me

i found out that i need to update firmware

which zui i had to flash through qfil and links please
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Sareen279:
I guess that you cannot resolve the "blue-screen issue" without the QFIL method, which is required if the boot-loader of your device is too old, as it was mine.

I have already briefly reported how I did, but I will try to do it again in a more detailed form.

You need a Windows PC and Qualcomm QPST, read this carefully: https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/howto-flash-a-stock-zui-rom-zuk-z2-z2131-only.104/

You need a ZUI QPST archive above version 3.1 as reccomended by the OP, I used this: ZUI 3.5.389 [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xWGFtcMZhMeOAsmASj4fwJzzbHOZZwdj[/URL]

I failed to use the method 1:

using the command "adb reboot edl" (my device was just shutting-down and never enter into EDL mode as requested by QFIL.

I used successfully the method 2: using Volume+ and Power buttons:

1. disconnect USB cable and turn the phone completely off

2. press volume-up, and keep it pressed until further notice

3. press power button, keep it pressed for about 1/2 a second (yeah, that timing thing...)

4. insert usb cable (both volume-up and power still pressed at this point)

5. wait for short vibration - you should also see the ZUK logo flash on screen for a split second

6. now you can release both power and volume-up, you should already see the USB device coming up on PC

If anything different happens, just disconnect, power-off and start again... Have fun!

When you finish the flashing of the ZUI QPST ROM, you should reboot and set the

4G to extended capabilities

, in case you have VoLTE on your area.

Then you need to verify if your boot-loader is still unlocked (as mine was) in case it being locked you must proceed to unlock it again as you did the first time.

Then you have to flash the recovery.img (I used TWRP).

Finally you have to flash the TWRP with Treble support (z2_plus_treble-TWRP-3.2.2_kubersharma_v2.img) and factory_to_vendor.zip (factory2vendor_z2_plus.zip).

If all the above end up correctly, you can proceed to flashing AEX 6.0 official and Gapps*

* Note: I used older version of nano Gapps arm64 android 9 (open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181009.zip) because the newer release was not allowing to restore my Google backup.

Hope you could get some help with my description!
