Hey [MENTION=8111960]engr.chachi[/MENTION]

Since you are the Mi8's threads most prolific rom maker, I have a question for you:

Have you considered building a Paranoid or Bootleggers Rom?

Anyone who has ever used either one of these two roms knows knows of its former potency and either one would probably be hugely popular.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] houdinifc:
Hello Everybody,

I’m new on this forum and sorry for my bad English.

My LG-H870DSU (LG 6+) with OREO, during the installation process of the last sw upgrade, (V20L, downloaded by OTA last 23rd of December) showed an error and rebooted, making many attempt s to start (at least 5) and at the end it showed the “Secure start up” screen.

I performed the factory hard reset and I imagine it went well since the language was reset from Italian to English.

Now, if I power on my phone, it tries to boot several times (the process takes around 5 minutes) and at the end it shows always the “Secure start up” screen.

LG Mobile support and LG Bridge on my PC recognize the phone but they're not able to modify/download anything.

Could you please give me support and suggest me a way to resume my phone?

Many thanks in advance for your support
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] houdinifc:
Some update: I was able to put the phone in firmware update, the pc sees the mobile through USB (COM 9 port), LGUP can't load the model from a specific path (probably I don't have the H870DSU dll, uppercut 1.0.0.0 doesn't run in WIN 7 (antiviruses and others related program closed).

Any suggest?

Thank you again

You could use apk extractor from Play Market. Nevermind, new apk doesn't provide AI mode without the necessary libraries that come with the update.

for those who want to check the new version of the apk on their phones, a user on the Russian forum extracted the file. As I mentioned nothing changed. We will have to wait for a complete FW update (if there will be any)

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
I've had a situation where RMM state has always been prenormal and OEM unlock been absent for months on Oreo. After updating to Pie, OEM unlock appeared immediately on first boot, but RMM state prenormal was still there and flashing twrp give me the " only official binaries are allowed to be flashed". Waiting again for 7 days didn't help. The same happens when flashing Samsung combination ROM ( OEM appears, but in download mode RMM lock is still there). After posting about my situation, I've found many users with the same problem wether here or on other Samsung devices forums.

I was hoping for such users to gather here and offer what they can to find any possible solution

Things I've tried untill now:

1- waiting for 7 days with Samsung and Google accounts logged in and SIM from my country put in place; didn't work.

2- flashing complete full stock oreo and waiting again ; didn't work.

3- changing date backwards and forwards trick; didn't work

4- Using miracle box to reset EE reactivation lock; didn't work.

5- factory resetting; didn't work.

6- I used ADB to uninstall rlc and kgclient apps; didn't work.

7- flashing combination file sometimes made OEM toggle appear, but RMM state still is prenormal.

8- I tried two different carriers both from my country and it didn't work. [MENTION=9627538]dames0701[/MENTION] reports that he did the same with all the carriers in his country and got same result.

9- I've contacted Samsung customer service and they are either ignorant of the problem or don't have a fix.

I'll start this bounty with 10 $ which is very little, but hopefully with donations from different users across Samsung devices forums it becomes a significant sum

Edit : I withdraw my donation as I sold my phone, but I'll leave the thread for someone to find a solution one day.

I'm willing to beta test whatever solution anybody thinks it might work, My device is SM-G965F dual SIM.

Cheers...

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
I'm coming from Sony too, xz1 to be specific, and I still believe that it felt snappier than S9. I was considering trading it with xz2, but the beautiful Amoled display on S9 is the reason why I reconsidered.

I got it because of the low 1.7 aperture selfie which portrays faces beautifully

Samsung apps won't work and shows this error as if my device has been rooted. Maybe it has something to do with rmm being always prenormal View attachment 4695986
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dames0701:
Hi Op. I thought I was the only one conducting the various tests as you did. Just to add a few extra things I have tried. As my country has various carriers, I bought a simcard from each. Flashed my phone with the manufacturer suggested firmware, signed in on all my accounts and left the phone on in the cupboard for 7days. This was done with oreo and Pie respectively. I went the combination file root to with no luck. My friend bought a brand new s9+ on the same day I asked if I can check it out. I discovered the following: out the box he had android oreo: Apon activating developer options his oem toggle was there. When I restarted his phone into download mode is RMM state was normal. He didn't even have to wait 7days. I took a screen shot of all his firmware and downloaded it and inserted the same carrier simcard as he had. I proceeded to flash the firmware oreo (I was on pie). I booted up just to have my oem toggle gone again. Although my BL was unlocked (done like you, when in installed pie). I booted into download mode and RMM stated was prenormal. I got a feeling our phones just don't check all the boxes for the RMM people at Samsung to send the RMM state change request.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
Waiting 7 days never changed a thing for me; not OEM toggle, RMM state or KG state.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dames0701:
Same here. I was hoping that mericlebox would work. I tried it on pie and oreo no luck. I even checked to see if my imei number was blacklisted and it's not. Ahh I want root

Not sure if your aware of it but have you tried flashing the RMM State bypass zip

The rmm state effects a few models not just the s9.

This is from the S8 forums

This is a bit more info about how the bypass zip works and the zip file which has to be flashed via twrp.

As for the OEM unlock in developer menu the date method works for me although I had to come up with a different variation to the date method.

With things like Shealth and secure folder not working is more due to you tripping your Knox and not root.

Hope this is of some help
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NekoOtoko:
Hehe, I just had a situation like yours - waiting week, two, no OEM. I've seen all those 'back 7 days' methods and NEVER got them to work for me, but this time I was pretty desperate.

Well.... it worked. Here is what I did, which is basically a mix of stuff from various threads.

Finish FULL setup (with all the apks downloaded and updated)

Enable Dev Settings

Disable Automatic Updates in dev menu

Disable time and date update

Go to date and set it back 7 days

Go to update, disable automatic updates and check for new updates

Restart your device into stock recovery and clear cache

Restart back to system and set the date again 7 days backwards

Restart your device once again

Restore automatic time settings (which will set up the actual date), check for updates

Check if OEM toggle is showing, if not restart once again

Check if OEM toggle is showing, if not - wait 5min, check again

Repeat until you get this to work. Good luck mate!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
I can't install twrp because the device blocks any unofficial binaries from being flashed ,and no I haven't tripped Knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
Since updating to pie OEM toggle appears by itself from first boot and I have it already enabled. The problem is RMM state not OEM toggle.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dames0701:
I can second this. Oem is not the issue anymore. Our bootloaders are currently unlocked. It's the RMM state that prevents us from installing "non-official binaries" like twrp is the problem. So for example in the current state of Prenormal, if we attempt to flash twrp it will simply fail and give an error on the download mode screen in red saying "only official Samsung binaries allowed".
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
I have been down this road . Only trying to help.

I have 2 phone's one on Dec Oreo patch one on pie beta3 (Feb patch). Both have the same issues you are facing..Both have TWRP and root and are working well.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] daviddema:
I am in the same boat, got my S9+ 2.5 months ago and RMM state prenormal never cleared no matter what. Got the OEM toggle after the upgrade to Pie, but RMM state still prenormal and KG state checking.

My next step will be to return the phone to Samsung. This feature is supposed to be an anti-theft thing. I didn't steal my phone so their stuff is malfunctioning as far as I am concerned, and I end up with a crippled device because of it. Not acceptable.

[MENTION=6909327]ASMstudent[/MENTION]

What is the full product code of your phone in the phone info app? What do you have in settings > about phone > software information > Service provider SW version?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
I live in Egypt and product key and service provider all ends with EGY country code. The product key is matching the one on the warranty card so I'm sure it's the right one. Flashing firmwares not meant for your region can change product key or software service provider into another country, but I noticed that and kept flashing my country firmware and resetting multiple times until everything confined to my country. If you think that's the problem, it's not at least not for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
You trying to help is appreciated, but you seem to be talking about another issue which is RMM state prenormal lock after flashing twrp not from the very start.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] daviddema:
When you initially took the phone out of the box, were you in Egypt and inserted an Egyptian SIM card, did the initial setup and used it as such for a week, making at least a 5 minutes phone call?

The reason I am asking is that I bought my phone in Saudi and did the region unlock with an unlock code I requested from Samsung instead of making a 5 minutes call in Saudi. Then I first used the phone in Europe with a Euro SIM card. Prenormal never cleared. Then back in Saudi, I factory reset with a Saudi SIM card. My csc is now saying ksa/ksa/ksa/ksa but prenormal is still not clearing...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
The phone has never been outside of Egypt or had another country's carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] daviddema:
OK thanks for the info... I wonder now if it could possibly be that Middle-East Samsung phones never get past the prenormal stage then... Do you have any friends in Egypt who do NOT have the prenormal state?

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Also, have you tried bringing the phone back to the vendor or to a Samsung service center, explaining that you need a "normal" phone, not one that is stuck in "prenormal" or "checking" state...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Just to clarify when I flashed twrp my RMM state was in prenormal mode before (from the start) flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
I haven't because I'm completely sure they will tell me that the phone is 100% functional and they will deny my request.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NekoOtoko:
Humm? I would say it might be the Pie issue. Pie is still very fresh, loads of bugs floating around I bet, might be one of them.

If you have an OEM toggle then turn it off (lock bootloader), downgrade to Oreo. Factory reset.

That will put you in a 'starting position' so to speak.

THEN, follow the steps and see if that works ;)

Worked for me on Oreo, even though I never got it to work before.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] daviddema:
I believe more and more there is something really fishy going on here. I have just checked the S9+ of my friend here in Saudi Arabia. He bought it almost a year ago and is still on Oreo (didn't install the Pie update yet). Checked his download mode and his RMM state is prenormal... no OEM unlock toggle in dev options...

So it looks to me like Samsung purposefully locks phones from this region in this forever prenormal limbo state. The reason why is anyone's guess, but don't forget that Knox/RMM is not just Secure Folder and Samsung Pay... it's also (mainly) what gives enterprises (countries?) control over the phone of their employees (citizens?), all the way to taking over the camera...

Awesome! Thanx for the update. The more info we have the closer we get to a solution. I'm going to give this a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Extreemator:
yea juggling and more juggling. Were you on oreo? When i updated too my s9 g9600/ds latin american to 9.0, oem unlock appeared right away so i guess for all s9 variations it it's like this, (btw now requires to factory reset to turn off/on oem unlock) but oem unlock means nothing by itself. RMM state has to be normal. And I have to wait 7 days, there is no other fix. So i guess you rmm was normal after a week and remained normal while you juggled out that oem that wasn't appearing?.. and you were able to flash then after. Why i have a constant urge to hit sung on his head, this procedures with devices getting to a point of difficulty and obscurity of toughest things in my life.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NekoOtoko:
Yes, Oreo all the way. Ofc the 'oem toggle' by itself apparently means nothing on Pie, from what you and others said.

I was 'prenormal' OEM: ON ofc, so that's why I couldn't flash anything, and that's why I was desperate.

After a week+ I was still prenormal and no toggle. Then I started juggling. Then... I was a happy man. :P

I suggest that if you see an OEM toggle but boot is prenormal then turn it off to locked.

Then downgrade to Oreo if bootloader permits (not sure what what is the current latest soft and if boot number went up, but don't think so) and give it a shake.

Many people say it works on their second try.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Extreemator:
why. As I said it appears instantly on 9.0 but still have to wait for rmm 7 days. I gonna finish and it should appear, this is my new phone. What is your model, from which region it is. Your case is an exception I believe, because cleallrly that's a bug due to sung's **** coding.

'Why? Oh nooo. Your case... Samsung this, Samsung that...Blaaaaa blaaa blaaaaaaa'

You boys keep whining and crying and cursing, but I just fixed friend's phone using exactly the steps I wrote before.

He had the same issue - OEM OFF but prenormal. After the fix - OEM OFF, normal state :D :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dames0701:
Please confirm exact steps. I will give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NekoOtoko:
Oreo ROM, no sim inside, connected to wifi (not sure if any of that matters, just saying).

Finish FULL setup (with all the apks downloaded and updated). I didn't add google account, just let it update apps.

Enable Dev Settings

Disable Automatic Updates in dev menu

Disable time and date update

Go to date and set it back 7 days

Go to update, disable automatic updates and check for new updates

Restart your device into stock recovery and clear CACHE

Restart back to system and set the date again 7 days backwards

Restart your device once again

Restore automatic time settings (which will set up the actual date), check for updates. It might take a long time, just click it once and wait until it actually says 'no updates' or give you option to update. If so, I pressed 'later'.

Check if OEM toggle is showing, if not restart once again

Check if OEM toggle is showing, if not - wait 5min, check again.

At this point, when I see OEM toggle (whether it's ON or OFF), I go to download mode and prenormal entry is gone.

Works for me, hope that helps mate.
