[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] :
Oh I'm not even worried about custom ROMs. Ever since my Note 5 I would just get root access and be super happy with that. Just that some apps from the play store require root and I want to use those apps again on my Note 9. If I can just get root and that's it I'll be happy. No crazy mods, just root.

xda just posted this article:

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-january-2019-security-update/

so some might ask wtf does it have to do with the discussion at hand?

update cycles!

if you read the article, it mentions how the thought to be defunct s6 line of devices just got an update. It also states how apparently only the exnynos devices got it. It continues to explain how the exynos is in house made and that enables Samsung to push updates to their devices easier since they don't need to run it through Qualcomm.( might also explain why android pie took more time to arrive to maturity on snapdragon devices versus exynos')

so apart from performance differences, software support might also be something to think about if you tend to keep your phones for a long time. this might ring especially true towards note 9 users since the device costs more and that these people tend to keep those devices longer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asbj:
Hi, I am new here in the forum.

I am still using a second-hand Galaxy S4 i9500 (ja3gxx) that my best friend gave to me some years ago. It used to have an old custom KitKat 4.4.4 ROM but I installed the official Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM from Samsung a year ago.

Now I want to try a custom version of Nougat with no bloatware so I would like someone to please recommend me the most stable ROM avalaible.

I am trying to decide between the Lineage OS 14.1 port from alberto96 (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop/lineage-os-14-1-modded-i9500-t3637504) and Resurrection Remix N 5.8.5 (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop/resurrection-remix-n-t3650856).

Must have root!

With a root capable file browser locate systen/etc/apns-conf.xml and open it.

Search for T-Mobile US LTE

Add dun to the APN type field and save.

Go to network settings/APN settings and restore network default.

Give it s second to reset and done.

LOL it WAS working for me. I havnt used my hotspot in awhile to notice any changes.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
It's been a looong time since I saw the thread somewhere on Reddit but someone had a guide. Basically, you have to modify something in the system that changes how many "hops?" there are. Like I guess if your phone connects, it's identified at 1 hop. Traffic on the network via tethering hops again, so it's 2. That 2 says you're tethering. I think you change the start to 0 so tethering ends up being 1.

It was something along those lines. I know it's so vague that this doesn't help. But hopefully it means something to someone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] c19932:
I think you are referring to the TTL. Changing the TTL value to 64 (or 65? I forgot) on the device being tethered to, along with adding "dun" to your apn, would give you unlimited tethering on the Select Choice plan. Once I switched to T-mobile One plan this stopped working.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] andrew776655:
Anyone found any solution to this?

I can tell you what doesn't work for T-Mobile One plan: Changing the TTL no longer works. Modifying the APN can't be done anymore. Setting tether_dun_required to 0 doesn't work either. Anyone else got anything?

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] andrew776655:
Thanks for the helpful suggestion. The hotspot is already on the plan, and even if it wasn't, there's an easy fix for that. And that wasn't even what I was asking. Because that's not even what this thread is about. I'm pretty sure the topic of this thread is to find a way to bypass the hotspot throttle with T-mobile. I guessed that because this thread is called "T-Mobile hotspot no throttle trick.(currently not working)". See the italicized words? Yeah, that should be a clue.

settings put global tether_dun_apn "Tethering,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun"

The vpn I am using is AirVPN with the openvpn app

Attached is a screenshot of my phone signal during the tests.

Here are my results with the speeds in Mbps (down/up):

phone 99/30

phone w/ vpn 92/31

hotspot w/ vpn 49/21

hotspot 0.6/28

hotspot w/ ttl master (set to 65) & vpn 50/18

-----------------------------------------------------------

pdanet hotspot 4/3

Looks like I will be using my VPN and the default hotspot for the fastest speeds from here on out. If anyone else has different speeds and setups, please reply.

I like the official Marshmallow 6.0.1 quiet a lot but I would like to try a stable custom version of Nougat with no bloatware. Could someone recommend me the best one available?

If not can someone at least tell me how to eliminate all the bloatware as I am getting mad of not having enough space as everyone else using this phone.

Well, basically, the first Samsung + MTK phone.

And when you get into ROM development (from source) this is A HELL of combination...

Because, simply Sam omitted lots of MTK Stuff for their implementation ones, and it just get frustrating times to times (sepolicy, additional static libraries, etc.) ;-;

So please don't expect any stable Nougat soon.

in the meantime, try ROM by ShaDis

You may want to try out AEX Pie, currently have it installed on my G900F, battery life is fine. Everything's working apart from the occasional WiFi (just unlock screen for it to turn back on automatically) or Bluetooth cutout (which is fixed by turning BT on and off). Barely happens, I'd give it a go if I were you.

Otherwise LOS 16.0 would be a good choice as well.

Camera's working 100% on both ROMs though I'd recommend the A2 camera (thread here on XDA) as it is nicer to use and the quality is slightly better.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] YoelKum:
Hey guys... after 4 hours of research and try outs, I decided to open a thread about my G930F problem.

I´ve bought a used S7 and the seller said, that for "no reason" the phone boots into download mode and it´s stuck there.

Well, I thought it shouldn´t be such a big deal. Flashing the stock rom should work... but, of course... it doesn´t.

So, here´s what I tried so far:

Samsung drivers are installed

Windows does not recognize the usb device and states, that it is malfunctioning (maybe that´s normal in that state?)

Restart phone in download mode

Odin recognizes phone on com (tried different usb ports, all seem to work fine)

Tried to flash the last two stock roms (for germany, open carrier)

- G930FXXU3ESA3_G930FDBT3ESA1_DBT

- G930FXXS3ERL7_DBT

Odin "Re-Partition operation failed"

Tried to flash home_csc

Odin "All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)" -> worked!

Though, stuck on download mode after reboot

Still impossible to boot into recovery mode

Tried to flash twrp recovery (twrp-3.2.3-0-herolte)

Odin "recovery.img, FAIL!, Complete(Write) operation failed."

Found a video on youtube where some guy solves the problem by some actions in the android settings... but I can´t boot into android.

So, is that the problem? How should I solve it then? And, is that the real cause? Maybe it´s something different!?

1. Windows can´t even recognize the phone model (that goes for SmartSwitch, too btw...)

2. Is the re-partitioning and the inability to write on the phone causing the issue? Then why did the home_csc succeed? (flashed bl, ap and cp, too)

3. What ist that "Secure Download: Enabled" thing mean in odin mode? I don´t know what it is and if that is causing the error?

Additional information:

Odin Mode

Download Speed: Fast

Product Name : G930-F

Current Binary; Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

FRP Lock: Off

Secure Download: Enabled

Warranty Void: 0 (0x0000)

RP SWREV: B:3 K:1 S:2

Hopefully you experienced people out there can help me out!

Thanks in advance! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok so first of all the phone doesn't just start randomly booting into download mode so the seller is lying. They've messed about with it and messed it up.

In download mode the phone windows won't do anything with it nor will Smart Switch, it's just a rubbish program unless the phone is working correctly to start with.

Odin recognises the phone so that a good start but please ensure you have checked the following:-

1. You have the latest and correct Samsung USB drivers installed, download again and reinstall just eliminate USB drivers from the problem.

2. Download another unbranded

Oreo

firmware from Sam mobile or direct from Samsung servers with SamFirm Tool which is much quicker than Sammobile. Try United Kingdom BTU firmware which is unbranded western Europe and generally works on most European phones.

3. You can only download and flash Oreo firmware since Odin reports you are on Binary 3 (B:3, boot loader version 3), which means you cannot install an older firmware like nougat via Odin.

All of the above is to flash official firmware via Odin and i just want to check, by "Download mode" you mean the Blue screen?

Now normally Odin doesn't care what state the phone is in, it will just flash official firmware and the phone is like new again but it has to be the correct firmware as I've mentioned above.

Sometimes it's a little bit strange but if the phone was not rooted, Odin can't flash the firmware, it shouldn't do this but sometimes it happens. There is a way to root and flash TWRP when the phone is on Oreo firmware with Odin but it is a specific guide you MUST follow.

https://ministryofsolutions.com/2018/09/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-root-oreo-8-0.html

Once you've done this it gives you option to install a custom ROM if you are still having problems installing the firmware. Generally if you install a custom ROM you can get access to the settings you need enabled to then (if you wish) flash it back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] YoelKum:
Thank you! I´ll follow these steps now...

... and yes, that blue screen, saying "downloading do not turn off target"

I´ll report, when I´m done.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] YoelKum:
OK, now I think, I´ve found the actual problem.

Flashing the UK stock rom didn´t work.

Then I started to follow the instructions to root the phone.

When I tried to flash the twrp, it also failed. But this time Odin reported, that there is no PIT partition.

So, I guess, I have to use a PIT file to reinitialize that partition?

If so, which one should I use and should I simply flash it with the Odin "Pit" tab? I didn´t use it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Yes flash pit file first
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] YoelKum:
Found this one on sammobile pit file thread. I guess that's the right one, isn't it? Just want to be sure:

sammobile.com/forum/threads/30609-galaxy-S7-G930-pit-files

SM-G930F OXA multi CSC ( BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO )

by default BTU

HEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] YoelKum:
Nope, that didn´t work eigther.

I have now tried using Odin 3.13 because of a new compression method, that can´t be handled below v 3.13.

But still, no chance...

If I try to use the pit file (from package or from seperate download), the error is "re-partition operation failed".

When I try to use the home csc, without any pit file, the error is "complete(write) operation failed".

Also, one thing that´s strange. After each failed attempt, I need to reboot the s7. Otherwise, odin will recognize, that the phone is connected, but gets stuck on "setup connection".

Any other ideas what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok so the nuclear option is to try is flash the firmware in Odin with "Nand Erase" ticked. The official firmware already has a PIT file in the CSC part. but just to be sure you can flash both PIT file and firmware but make sure the option to Re-Partion

IS

ticked this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] YoelKum:
OK, tried it now with NAND erase, 5 USB cables and a different pc... all the same.

Don´t know if there is anything left, but it seems like the hardware is faulty, isn´t it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
It would be the only logical conclusion.
