[General Questions and Answers] arslan.murtaza12:
Hi there,

I purchased a note 8 SM-N950F few days back. It was working perfectly till I got an OTA notification. I downloaded it and updated my phone and boom there it goes stuck on Galaxy Note 8 Powered by android screen.

I waited for 20 minutes (long than usual) then restarted it forcefully.

It then started to boot to android with closed eyes [possibly missing recovery screen] and after that back to galaxy note 8 powered by android screen [the loop continues].

I tried many firmwares with no luck,

Then I found a way to start it up, by flashing everything except CSC. In this way my phone started and I'm able to use it normally but with these following issues:

Internal storage 32Gb instead of 64Gb

Codes like *#0*# or *#06# etc not working

Once I factory reset it, the same problem occurs and I have to flash again in the same way i.e. without CSC, if flashed with CSC it doesn't boot up and the problem with that android logo with `x` on his eye persists.

Need help pleaseeee. :( :(
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You flashed the wrong firmware, the firnware that you flashed was for the 32GB version of your device, that's why it won't boit correctly when you flash the CSC.

Find the same firmware version for the 64GB version of your device.
[General Questions and Answers] arslan.murtaza12:
I don't think there is a 32gb variant of note 8.

Besides I've try many firmwares :(
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The thread below discusses the same issue on that device.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/n950f-reporting-32gb-storage-t3680013
[General Questions and Answers] arslan.murtaza12:
The problem is that once I boot in recovery it never gets passed that no command error screen. :( and once it gets at that point there is no coming back.

Phone never starts again and I have to flash firmware again(without CSC offcourse as mentioned above).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try finding a PIT file for your model number, then flash the stock firmware along with the PIT file, the PIT file goes in the PIT tab in Odin. The PIT is what tells Odin which partitions to flash the various parts of the firmware to.

Place the firmware file(s) in their slot(s), then make sure the "re-partition" option in Odin has a check beside it, then go to the PIT tab in Odin and place the PIT file in its slot. Then click the start button in Odin.

If it still bootloops after flashing, try booting to recovery and factory reset then wipe cache partition then reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] arslan.murtaza12:
Can't seem to find the PIT file :( Can you please help ? How do I find the correct pit file?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
This guide has a link to the PIT file.

https://zfirmware.com/download-samsung-galaxy-note-8-pit-file/

Download the PIT then extract it, then flash it along with the correct firmware for your device, flash the firmware and the PIT at the same time, not separately, make sure it is the correct firmware for your region/carrier also. If you don't know your region/carrier code, I'll help you identify what your code is you tell me what country you live in and which network/carrier the device is used on.

I'm living in Pakistan, phone model is SM-N950F dual sim I believe it's unlocked. I'm using two sim cards both of which are working one is Jazz/Warid other one is Zong.

They are all the same firmware, it doesn't matter which one you download. They can be downloaded for free, but the free download is slower, just be patient and wait for it to download.
[General Questions and Answers] arslan.murtaza12:
Thanks alot I'll try later today and will update here. One thing, should I be worried about backing up efs folder? Oem is not unlocked as device is in prenormal state.

Can I backup efs folder without root? If yes how so? I can't find any method to back it up without root.
[General Questions and Answers] arslan.murtaza12:
So here is what I did,

I already had the same firmware downloaded, so I downloaded the PIT file extracted it and flashed the firmware with all files including the PIT file and checked the re-partition.

Odin flash passed.

Device reboots in recovery and starts installing the firmware same as it did for OTA update,

after installing it reboots again and goes to the same "No command" screen :/

I can only able to run my phone if I flash everything except CSC i.e. AP,CP & BL. [Same issue as stated in start of thread]

Any other suggestion please? :(

I recently bought a Galaxy Watch (46mm) variant and I wanted to change the region so it could support Samsung Pay as it's not available in India. I came across the "sdb tool" that could potentially change the region but can't find the download link to it. All the posts surrounding the region change lead me to "https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330" but the "SDBstarterKidv1" file is probably removed as I am getting error 410 when trying to download. Sorry, I am a total noob so I would appreciate if someone could help me out in changing the region so Samsung Pay could work.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] BlackCatO8:
I'm on mobile so It's going to take me a moment to find the link now.

Before you do anything you should check what region you want to add and find the code for it, because the region names are just 3 letter codes and it's hard to know what is going on when selecting the code and you don't want to spend hours guessing. And before you change the region write down the one your watch came with so you can go back if needed.

First download the zip from here on your computer.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330

And next follow the steps on here to change region (I know it says gear sport but I did it step by step on my galaxy watch)

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-sport/changing-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324

And that should do the trick.

I tried the steps but I am getting the error everytime I run sdb connect- error: failed to connect to remote target '192.168.0.185'

Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] BlackCatO8:
Are you sure you got the IP right? They are usually usually 192.168.1.x

Did you reboot after setting up debugging mode on?

I only changed the WiFi to always on and it worked fine, by the way I have fixed IP set on my devices on the router but it shouldn't matter.

Edit: I just looked into it, try the IP with the port too like this example: 192.168.1.10:26101
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] anmol112:
Hey. Thanks it worked just fine. I think I missed reboot step which was causing the issue. Also I downloaded Tizen studio (CLI) and installed it. Don't know if that helped but it worked so thanks a lot.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] vojopd:
After you download sdb 2.2.6, first open data/tools and run sdb, window will close. Then run CMD from same folder by holding shift + right click and open cmd. Then you need to type sdb connect (watch ip) and confirm RSA auth. On watch, pay attention to watch when it appears. Then type sdb shell and copy command for changing region.

I was getting same error, because I didnt pay attention to watch, it didnt wake up the screen to accept RSA authentication.

Changing the region on Galaxy Watch R800

Hi all, I recently bought a Galaxy SM-R800 and thought I would be able to use it with Samsung Pay in Australia. The app fails to connect to the watch (Samsung Pay Watch plug-in). From what I can see, the watch was made in Vietnam.

The software installed is as follows:

One UI version - 1.5

Tizen version - 4.0.0.7

Software version - R800XXU1DSL1

Knox - 2.4.0

Knox Tizen Wearable SDK - 2.4.0

SE for Tizen - 2.0.0

TIMZ - 3.0.0

Does anyone have a solution for this. I've tried what I could find online, which appears to have outadated firwares that dont work with the current firmware already on the watch. Hoping someone has a solution. Thanks in advance.
