[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] timg11:
I had pretty much written off Samsung as an option for a new phone due to the locked boot loader and lack of root for the US versions of the phones. The last time I checked only the Exynos versions were unlockable.

I was visiting this forum and saw this section with Snapdragon has been added. But it seems to be limited to the SM-G9650. The US version from T-Mobile is the SM-G965U.

What is the current situation? If I want to operate on T-Mobile, can I purchase the SM-G9650, install TWRP, install T-Mobile stock ROM, and then Magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] klabit87:
Correct.

You can use the snapdragon variant sm-g9650 on us carriers.

Myself and several others are already running it on vzwy and TMO right now.

But you can't install a stock TMO rom without some work. There will be custom roms coming very soon.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not opposed to custom ROMs, but I have found that they are often missing Wi-Fi Calling, which I use extensively.

Thus I tend to stick with stock to make sure I have those features..

When you say "some work", what do you mean? Are there any guidelines? I searched this forum for T-Mobile and found this thread that said "you need a patched Odin". Is that all?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] klabit87:
By some work I mean you can't just Odin US firmware to a chinese model. You stand the risk of hard bricking.

So you would need a custom rom for sure. As fast as WiFi calling not working? I don't know what rom you've been using but it works on [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] custom rom [emoji41]
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] stang5litre:
Which ever roms you were running was obviously missing files. I make sure all my Roms have all features working. Otherwise it would bother me

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] timg11:
I wasn't aware that the SM-G9650 is a chinese version. I've also seen a model SM-G965U1 available on Amazon and elsewhere. They say "unlocked" but don't say whether that means SIM or Bootloader unlocked. If they were bootloader unlocked, then would they be able to use the TMO stock ROM directly?

I'll be watching for the [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] custom rom when it gets posted. That might be the best option.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] klabit87:
Yes but they're not unlocked in the sense of a bootloader unlock.

Anytime you see an advertisement that says Unlocked, it typically means carrier/sim unlocked.

Only the 0 model can be bootloader unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] timg11:
I'm still trying to make a decision on which way to go. I like the S9, but not happy about having to pay full retail price and not get a warranty. My track record for Samsung hardware is pretty bad. I'm on my fifth Note 4 - the first four had various hardware problems from power button failure to "black screen of death" failure, and were replaced under warranty.

I've been thinking about the OnePlus 6T. It's bootloader unlocked and has a more reasonable price, but I'm really turned off by the proprietary charging and lack of 3.5mm headphone.

One question I forgot to ask: Can anyone confirm Band 71 Support for the SM-G9650 and SM-G9600? As I research this question, I'm getting mixed results.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] timg11:
As far as I can tell, the SM-G9600 does not support Band 71.

I don't know which spec sources are authoritative, but I see it is

not

listed as supported at these sites: phonemore, gsmarena, bhphotovideo, and devicespecifications.com

I cannot find any authoritative source that says B71 is supported.

Summary of my research on the G9600 as the only known root-capable Samsung S9 phone:

Substantially more expensive (than S9 US versions, or OnePlus 6T) --- strike 1

No Warranty --- strike 2

No Band 71 (and many other bands missing) --- strike 3, you're out!

So I guess it's back to OnePlus and trying to hack a way around their fast charging issues....
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] shahinman:
Problems with rooting, loading ROM then recovery & download images -some solutions

I started with stock LG v20 T-Mobile H91810P and followed this step by step & the original threads. I loaded the latest stock Oreo from H91820H from here instead of latest Nougat H91810U - Pie & some other versions had too many things not working.

In the process there were a few problems -the major ones are following with solutions, some from here:

1) The file H91810p rom (H91810p_00_0717.kdz) downloaded from here.

2) I lost root several times, but had TWRP. So I used adb sideload like:

Boot/start TWRP and the start ADB Sideload

Download Magisk-v16.0.zip and copy to adb directory.

On Windows PC connect Cell with USB and in CMD window type (copy/paste):

adb start-server

adb sideload "Magisk-v16.0.zip"​

And never update migisk after installing from above or will lose root. Also no need for SU.

3. Camera did not work and people could not hear me nor could I hear them when I picked up a call - A reboot/restart fixed it.

4. No need to download UPPERCUT (that is hard to download), because LGUP works fine without UPPERCUT.

I have 4 problems remaining -any help for solutions here is appreciated - especially exact type help please:

1) On LAF/Boot (original download) partition: Vol+ & connect to USB caused the download mode to come on for about 2 seconds and then TWRP (however I am glad that TWRP is here) -Prefer this to be the original download mode.

2) On Recovery patition: Vol- & connect to USB causes fastboot to come up. Flashed the recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-18.img (renamed to recovery.img) to recovery partition using flashify and TWRP unsuccessfully. -Prefer this to be TWRP.

3) TWRP cannot access the Data partition. Rebuilt and reformatted Data from TWRP without success. -Prefer access to Data from TWRP.

4) At boot time: I like to get rid of the warning that my bootloader is unlocked. -I can live with this one.

After thoughts: Now that I am rooted on the latest stock Oreo H91820H -I am not sure what I want to load that I could not before?! overclocking the CPU or changing the hue on the display is not a big deal for me at all. & Yes I will uninstall some bloatware - but that is not so bad on this phone anyhow. Any good ideas or a better/later rom than H91820H that has all things working, do please let me know. I am glad that I rooted, ahh the challenge, but if I have no other reason such as to load a program then I think I will revert back to stock and unlock the bootloader & let the ROM updates come from T-Mobile & LG.

-Shahin
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
You can restore download mode by flashing the zip in the original lafexploit thread, but make sure you have twrp on the recovery partition. Make sure you are on the latest version of twrp, when you flashed twrp, you were supposed to format the data partition before flashing the rom.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] shahinman:
For access to Data in TWRP: In the original thread there is nothing about formatting, but in step by step guide there is and I followed - however it does not specify what partition to format. I also ran ./step2.sh script per instructions.

Anyhow as I mentioned above I rebuilt and reformatted the Data partition and that did not give me access. I am on the TWRP 3.2.1-3. What partitions do I need to reformat anyhow?

To flash recovery: I used TWRP and flashify to flash recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-18.img and it flashes but does not work - I get to fastboot with Vol- & USB.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] DenaByteNT:
Hello everyone !

I had a battery drain issue so I wanted to try and change the software before resorting to a battery change, but now my phone is stuck at L09 C900B300 build and it used to be factory L09C432B504. I tried downloading the full package for 501 but the phone does not want to install it as it was "invalid".

Any ideas how I can force the b501 update on the phone ? It's hard to use ADB since the USB-C port on the phone is very worn out and it only maintains data-transfer in a certain position, if it gets shifted even a little bit it breaks the connection.

Thanks in advance !

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] DenaByteNT:
Hey !

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried to follow the steps but I need to have the bootloader unlocked and it is discontinued by huawei, and in order to get the code from DC unlocker I need to invest a certain amount of money (id rather hand the phone over to a professional service and pay them and know that I have a fixed phone).

The other issue of the phone is that I cannot open the manufacturer mode on the phone using *#*#2846579#*#* since it does nothing, and I cannot use the calculator since this software does not have a calculator, it doesn't even have a camera app....

So I have contacted huawei support in hopes of getting the bootloader code but I do not hope for too much at this point. What are my other options at this point of handling this on my own ?

Looking forward to your response !
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
AFAIK, 'certain amount of money' for Bootloader code from DC Unlocker is only 4 Euros

If you search on XDA (various phones, just about Bootloader unlocking) you may find more online services (several months ago I've seen in some post), but they were more expensive

IMO, you don't need unlocked Bootloader if you are just following the first link, for dload-ing c432b182 without flashing oeminfo....
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] DenaByteNT:
Update:

Okay the b182 package does not require unlocked bootloader which is great, it took the update and started going up all the way to b395 but it stopped there, no further OTA updates... It is okay to use at this point but I'm still curious to know if there is a way to get to it to update to the b50x version. I did try to use the small update for the b501 but the phone declined it.

Still thank you very much for guiding me through this ! This is a huge weight off my shoulders !
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
In Firmware Finder they have a new method based on eRecovery and changing the DNS server on your local WLAN AP

b50x must be showing as Approved to you for that method

It does not require Bootloader unlocked but no guarantee it would work (I tried with P9 rebranded to AL10 Oreo, managed to change DNS server address, eRecovery connected to but failed to update firmware that way)

There HWOTA method (in few variants) to install FullOTA-MF from Firmware Finder, but unlocked Bootloader is required

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3

Btw, if you ever unlocked Bootloader on that phone, just use the same code again (one must save always save the code for future needs)

As of recently there are some Huawei service firmware installations available, that also install by dload (not needed to have Bootloader unlocked)

When you download, you will need to unzip

Find Docs and Software subfolders (you may need to untar and unzip Software subfolder again)

In Docs folder there must be Huawei official guide how to install, check if it describes dload method (and what must be un-archived and copied to SD card dload folder from the Software subfloder)

I didn't use it for L09c432 but I successfully unbricked a P9 rebranded to AL10c00 (back to AL10c00 firmware) by such a package, really easy by dload, just by following their HowTo doc from the Docs subfolder
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] VampMarcie:
I recently bought an unlocked OnePlus 5 128GB and decided I wanted to root it and install another ROM. So, I did the standard flash of TWRP 3.2.3 for Cheeseburger and also successfully installed Magisk and Substratum. I found myself in an infinite boot screen after applying a Substratum theme so decided to factory reset the phone and start from scratch.

However, I stupidly managed to wipe the phone's OS as well as everything on it when going to factory reset, so now I'm just stuck in TWRP. I cannot install the stock OP5 ROM from the official OnePlus website and have also tried several others such as LineageOS. I've tried all the instructions on this thread to get back to stock but I always receive the dreaded:

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

I get this even with the STOCK OnePlus 5 ROM, so there are no "assert" lines in the "updater-script" file like in LineageOS's ROM:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "cheeseburger" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "cheeseburger" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "OnePlus5" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "OnePlus5" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "oneplus5" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "oneplus5" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: cheeseburger,OnePlus5,oneplus5; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
assert(oneplus.file_exists("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor") == "1" || abort("Error: Vendor partition doesn't exist!"););
assert(oneplus.verify_modem("2018-11-06 18:11:36") == "1" || abort("Error: This package requires firmware version 5.1.7 or newer. Please upgrade firmware and retry!"););

I've spent the last 4 hours looking for fixes, but they usually tell me to do the following, none of which has worked:

- Update TWRP (I have the latest version)

- Remove "assert" lines from "updater-script" file (Which invalidates the .zip files in non-stock ROMS)

- Use Blu_Spark (Can only find zip downloads, not .img files like everywhere tells me to use; they don't install as recovery menus when fastbooted, it just stays on the OnePlus logo when rebooting into it)

I'm completely stumped and am left with a softbricked OnePlus 5 that's only functionality is booting into fastboot or recovery/TWRP. Can anyone help here?

3) fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img

4) Wipe system, data & cache using TWRP

5) Install 5.1.4, then Magisk, then format internal storage

[Asus Zenfone Go Questions & Answers] motoexe22:
Good day!

I recently re-flashed my Zenfone Go 5 Lite using a offical Asus ROM due to a bootloop issue.

After initial setup, ZenUI launcher says that it's not responding (returns an all-black screen with only status bar accessible). I can get away with it by restarting the phone.

However my main concerns are the following:

- After restart, WiFi doesn't turn on even though the switch toggles

- When I put the phone in sleep mode (locking the phone), it doesn't wake up by pressing the power button neither with the double tap gesture. I had to force restart it by holding the power button for about 10 seconds to access the home screen again

What could be causing this problem? Is it a software issue or a hardware one?

Any help or feedback will be deeply apperciated. Thanks!

Hello Community

I am currently searching through the whole web for a cheap lapdock solution for running dex currently on my note 8 with oreo (hopefully soon pie)

I already researched a lot and currently found apart fro diy solutions the following devices/ideas

-> HP Lapdock (preferred but seems to get more and more expensive and nearly not to be found with german keyboard layout) Currently about 250 Euro if found

-> Motorola Atrix Dock (seems like half a diy solution) and only supports 1366 resolution also not known if it works with dex

-> Raspberry Pitop (too expensive plus diy)

-> Mirabook (not available)

-> Sentio Superbook (available with 1080p but only usbc and not hdmi - seems to work with note 8 and dex on oreo but I do not know if on pie)

I would really like to exchange my laptop with my note running on dex but not be bound to a desktop place. also a small display with hdmi that can invoke dex would do plus a bluetooth keyboard. It should however be a stable solution that does not require to carry ac adapter, usb c adapter, lapdock, power bank, smartphone and display and all the time plug everything together before starting.

Any good Ideas?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AnjuRatty:
Every solution available just seem too expensive , I mirabook comes out soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] finbaar:
I've got a Superbook coming this week, with the HDMI dummy plug and a USB C hub the total cost is ~£115. The dedicated thread on this indicates that it is a reliable way to have a DeX experience on a lapdock for a Note 9 - no idea if it will work with a Note 8. As for Android 9 compatibility, we will see!

I would have favoured the HP lapdock but there are many examples of people struggling to get this to work although some have had success. The Exynos Note, which I have, seems to be particularly difficult. Given the uncertainty around the compatibility, lack of a fully working trackpad, audio issues and the fact that the HP lapdock plus a decent thunderbolt cable would cost more than double the price of the Sentio Superbook set up I decided not to take the risk.

The Mirabook looks ideal and I would happily pay the $299 that they want if it delivers on the promises. Reading the companies tweets they seem to be indicating that they will start shipping "soon". This has been going on for 3 years now so I am not holding my breath. It could be months before we can buy one retail. I also want to see the reviews and how it works with our devices. BUT I do hold out hope for it. The Note 9 coupled with the Mirabook and DeX (and Lininux on DeX) could be my only computer. Here's hoping that they do deliver.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] TMaLuST:
Hey, how's your experience with the Superbook so far? I'd jump straight in with my Snap Note 8 :)

Thanks,

Fabrizio
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Ezkhatvn:
One alternative solution, get this official dock, the "Samsung P5000BB Multi-Adapter" - with any other I've tried I've never had any luck where simultaneous use and charging of the Note itself is concerned, which is pretty vital to me, so the cost was worth it.

And as I'm sure you must have a monitor and USB keyboard already, with the phone acting as a neat little trackpad when docked, no need for any other expense beyond the hub.
