FRP lock

(factory reset protection lock)

The main issue facing on roll backing is frp issue

FRP lock is one which forces device to check for update and stuck on it on startup

We can ensure that the device is in frp lock by viewing a lock symbol on statusbar(check attachment)

This happends because you are used roll back without removing your google account from settings

FRP erase is possible through ostla but it may cause brick on some device

So we have to go for another way

Instructions-

-Flash oreo using ostla (skip if you are in oreo)

-Reset device

-Update device to pie (recommend to flash 339B firmware)

-Add your google account

-Untick the backup to drive option on your first boot setup

-Remove your google account

-Reset

Go for the rom or gsi you want:laugh:

Hello all, I never thought I will be posting here.

I need help with my Oneplus one 64Gb version.

I am struck with No OS & Twrp 2.8.6.0.

Twrp is not able to mount otg-usb,

I have tried flashing rom through Fastboot via Bacon root toolkit, It gives error (

target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

sending 'boot' (7806 KB)...

FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))

finished. total time: 6.209s

&

Sometimes the error is too many links & sometimes its giving write command error.

error: cannot load 'C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Bacon Root Toolkit\data\Factory_Images\potato_bacon-9-20180818.Baked-v2.0.MASHED\emmc_appsboot.mbn'

I am even unable to flash new recovery, so that I can mount otg-usb drive.

I have also tried manually flashing the phone via fastboot but it just stuck there for hours on command window without any progress.

I will be really thankful to any one who can help me flash ROM to the phone.

Thanks

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FJMD:
Hello all!

I am having disconnects when playing music stored in the SD card of the phone. It is quite strange: if I create a playing list with mixed music from internal phone storage and SD card, everything works normal except when reaching the song before the one on the SD card. If I play it or the next one, connection is broken between the infotainment unit and the phone. Android Auto does not show any message and keep on working normally on the phone as nothing happened, but infotainment unit says connection lost. It happens only with music in the SD card with all the music players available. If I change the SD card into another phone everything works ok, so I suppose it is phone related.

My unit is ZTE Axon 7 android 1.3.0 B03 (Oreo).

Help please!

Installing V4A via Magisk v18 installs but then when run & checking the driver status on V4A it says "Abnormal" which does not let you use the enhancements at all to tweak your audio. Any help on this or if anyone has installed it fine or not?

:confused:
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] bbmaster123:
Yea I had that happen as well. Not sure if this is what fixed it, but try installing busybox. if that doesn't fix it, leave busybox installed, and uninstall viper and reinstall from magisk. I choose 2.5.0.5 material theme. I also got xHifi working in a stacked sorta config, great for a speaker specific profile.

If its still not working, keep playing with it, it will eventually :P

It should be: Turn Off Your device.

Now Press and Hold Volume Down+Power button for 2-3 Seconds Until LG Logo Appears.

Release the Buttons And Press and Hold them Again.

Hold the Buttons until the Recovery Mode Screen Appears.

Now You Are in the Recovery mode of Your device.

This may work too but the way I've done it and the way I've seen it explained is to "release the power button and press and hold it again, while leaving the volume down button pressed the entire time".

Hello,

I'm watching for rooting my SM-N950W (Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy Note 8)

Presently, I want try to have Samsung Firmware : little bit debloated, deknoxed if possible, with no Bixby and less similar duplicate Google apps with Samsung tags.

I want able to mask my root like 'Magisk Hide' apps, because some apps not like rooted phone.

I see on :

[ROOT][SNAPDRAGON] SamFAIL for Galaxy Note8[V3]

for Root USA Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy Note 8! (N950U,N950U1,N950W)

SamFAIL last rootable bootloader is V3...

But mine phone have already bootloader at : U5XXXX or S5XXXX=Bootloader V5

I want to know :

Do you know I can able to downgrade my bootloader V5 at V3

with Odin v3.13.1 (Comsey ODIN)

and full STOCK firmware V3 available on sammobile.com ?

If you have better option for my Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with Bootloader V5...

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

I know this doesn't help you AT ALL, but I unpacked my phone when I got it, turned it on and plugged it in, then came here to re-read the Sam fail instructions a last time because I had already downloaded all the software, and while I was reading the instructions the phone was updating to the v4 bootloader. I had no idea until I grabbed it to boot into Odin.

We're completely boned. I look every day for a new exploit, it ain't gonna happen ever unless the douchbags at Samsung toss us a bone, and I guarantee you if you asked an exec right now they would answer "note what? Aight? What's that? We have a note nineteen in the pipe, was it diesel powered?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
What a ridiculous reaction, just for not being able to root. I guess this kind of language/behaviour is against forum rules, hope so.

Funny thing is that one could have easily prevented update to BL4.

For OP, no root needed to do what you desire. Just disable the apps/functions you don't want with one of the available disabling apps...

And disabled it, but apps used space only for Bloat my phone.

Curiously, at same time this previous message, I receive notification for new samsung rom update... I not installed it.

Do you have recommendation for cleaning more apps (like samsung browser) and not using root for me ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Reminon:
I got tired of the cat and mouse game between exploits and samsung on their snapdragon variants. After the note 4, I switched to their exynos variants. The note 8 international version is compatible with most GSM bands, and is similarly priced to other variants. I have a note 8 duos and was able to root it within half an hour of receiving it. Most carriers of the snapdragon variants, especially all USA variants, require Samsung to lock the bootloader, and leave it unlockable to the public without exploitation.

I know this doesn't help you directly right now, but maybe in the future.

P.S. I know the n950w is the Canadian variant, I mentioned the USA variants because of their locked notoriety.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
Without discussing the impossiblity to root, and while admitting that disabled apps continue to use storage space, you are indeed able to disable Samsung apps. I use Package Disabler Pro (not affiliated whatsoever) to disable bloat/unwanted or unused stock apps without any problems. With Note 8's storage space no issue for me to have the apps not deleted.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Cool Person:
1- Rooting is pointless at the moment and too risky.

I just use

- Nova Launcher Now to get 6x6 Grid [Awesome]

- Enable Developer Mode [Enable 2D Graphic Rendering]

- Reducing Animation [Through Samsung One Ui settings]

This Fully Customizes my Phone.

Rooting wouldn't grant me any thing special, just risking my phone.

2- Why I am not interested in rooting?

Back in Time. During the release of Devices like the Note 3.

Note 3 Rooting was important because you could Get Note 4 Features [Screen off writing, Ultra power saving mode which was only in Note 4/S5]

Now The Note 8 Has the same OS As the Note 9. Even it has Emoji and Super Slow Motion Video.

3- Snapdragon users, Shouldn't really despair.

Because they are Lucky they Can Install Google Pixel Camera APK, But Exynos users cannot.

So thats an advantage, And boy it takes Amazing shots specially portrait mode shots.

4- The Note 8 is basically a Note 9 Minus 20% Extra battery and S Pen remote features [Which Note 9 users don't use any way], It has One Ui and Dark Mode So Why would we need Root? What could the Note 8 basically have? ALSO You have Package Disabler Pro Saves Everything.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

no offense but why are you here if your not looking for root lol??? i prefer superuser rights as i can get rid of that crap from tmobile as im on straighttalks att towers now, as well as be able to use twrp for real backups, as well as get custom roms in which thats one of the biggest things for an octa core phone, but yea i see what you mean, but still there are loads of things root gives that samsung is locking up in their firmware....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] trimixer451:
It really was kind of tongue in cheek. But I am done with these guys. It's not just because I want to do this or that with the phone, it's the idea that I can spend a grand on what is billed as a pocket computer that is running not just open source software, but Linux, code completely built around the idea of fair and free use.

To then have a Japanese mega-conglomerate say I'm too stupid to make my own decisions regarding hardware, and a Palo Alto mega conglomerate say I'm too stupid to handle the increased security risk, when the truth is the most likely thing to brick this phone is an unasked for OTA hardware update, is just too much.

If they shipped laptops locked down like this they would fold. "Sorry you can only have this wallpaper and use our approved software", no overclocking the cpu and you can't look at any logs. whatever.

What I want or need root for is moot, I might not ever do ANYTHING that requires root. That is none of Samsung's fu*king business, or anyone else's for that matter

whatever, they lost one $940 dollar profit margin, im sure that they are shaking.

It's just the idea that anyone thinks they can tell me what to do with something that I own 100%. It's just not as sexy a phone now, and that blows.

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

It was meant to be funny. Sarcastic.

You wouldn't be frustrated if you turned your back for a minute and got patched out of su access after saving up for a phone forever, sweating the model and timing, waiting for it, getting it, and losing it 5 minutes later because you didn't think to disable ota updates the second it arrived?

The fact that I would have bought something else had i known is a a good insight into how I feel; I got swindled out of $1000.

If sarcastic and pissed off is an unreasonable reaction to getting ripped off for a grand, than your way more accepting, not to mention wealthier than I.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Eudeferrer:
I feel you. Samsung lost me as a life-long customer as well. I bought a Pixel 3xl to try out and now there is no going back. I love unlockable Bootloader, root, and everything else that goes with it (and it doesn't even ruin your software or void you warrantee). I hear you when you say that it's your device and you should be able to do with it whatever you want with it. That's why I'm never going back to Samsung. I do love their phones but now only from a distance.

Just wondering because im not exactly sure. If these devices have locked bootloaders why cant they get custom roms the same way amazon devices do when they are locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Eudeferrer:
A locked bootloader means you cannot install any custom recovery such as TWRP which is then used to flash custom ROMs. ROMs that are not signed by Samsung cannot be flashed on locked bootloaders. Unlike Exynos variant international models, none of the US Snapdragon devices can be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zach61797:
Same with amazon devices but they work around the locked bootloader without unlocking it with "safestrap"

Hello all! I have a note 8 (snapdragon, bootloader 5). I recently had a factory reset due to too many attempts at the password while the phone was in my pocket. I normally wouldn't care that it reset but I lost ~3500 photos of my daughters and desperately want them back. I did not have google photos or Verizon cloud set up since getting a new phone (almost a year ago) I have found numerous apps to recover the photos but all require rooting the phone, which it appears is impossible.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get my photos back?

I went through the same thing and downloaded an app called Dumpster. It's a free app in the play store, doesn't require root or adb permission and it recovered everything. It even recovered photos that i deleted prior to installing the app. Furthermore, it recovered pics and videos I had lost (or thought were lost forever) due to factory resetting my phone.
