If you see KG STATUS: checking or if it's not there after the wait time then you shouldn't need to use the OEM unlock option

Original recovery post for the J7 2017

It should flash without issues as the bootloader should already be unlocked

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abbluiz:
Hey, all! I am very new here, although I always use this forum as reference, including for my previous smartphones: Xpera Z3 Dual and Galaxy S3.

But now I have a Pixel 2 XL (taimen) with the latest stock ROM (February 9, 2019 Android 9 Pie). I want a Custom ROM with no Google apps included whatsoever, could somebody help me out and give some directions? I have spent hours trying to flash a CarbonROM with no success. I don't want root, I just don't want Google Apps. A few questions:

- Is unlocking the bootloader mandatory to flash any Custom ROM?

- If I am on Android 9 Pie and the custom ROM is based on 8 Oreo, is it mandatory to flash the Oreo factory image from Google? If so, can I do it by simply using the OTA sideloading? I couldn't flash with the fastboot script.

- Is TWRP mandatory in this case? Is root mandatory?

I am really thankful for this community and appreciate any help you can give me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zenjedi:
- Yes

- Yes; No

- Yes, for flashing custom rom. Root is not mandatory.

I'm just curious if I can just block the front camera unit intentionally using a case that covers all sides and prevents the sliding mechanism from moving. I almost never use the front camera anyway. Only for video calls and for checking my face(Pink eye/dust/food).

Kind of a dumb post but I'm legit curious
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
I don't even use the selfie cam for any of those things. I'd love a case that locked the phone in tight and protected all the corners. I have a bad feeling if this phone falls in a bad way the whole things going to explode.

Actually having a moving parts may help reduce impact forces. On my old desire z the keyboard used to pop out when dropped and it was always fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Friedus:
I need this also!

I actually just created an account to say that this is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't need the selfie cam so having a case that blocks the slider, while protecting all corners of the phone, would be awesome. And if I ever need the selfie cam I'll just take it out of the case for a second. I've spent hours looking on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, GearBest, but wasn't able to find a case that blocks the slider. So any help would be truly appreciated...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Cheesaw:
Not gonna happen

I really don't think such a thing will ever exist. Think about it. If a company comes out with a case that blocks a feature of the phone it will be negatively rated into oblivion!

Use an iPhone XS Max Case it fits good trust me, the rear cameras hole will be a but bigger but it will lock the moving screen, by the way i throw it on the wall one day I was very angry nothing i swear happened i was so sure, and ut dropped on the stairs once nothing its really solid trust me.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
Add me to that list! I had high hopes for the modular movement, that they might eventually put the ffc in a module that I could delete. I did find a case that not only slides, it also protects the upper screen corners at the bottom of the phone. It's the case with the glass back, which is thick enough to protect the camera when you put it on a hard surface, and it has a thin sliding bead that runs all the way around the edge of the screen and slides up and down inside the case. Normally I carry the phone without a case, but I put a case on when travelling.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] sammjoy:
Oh excuse me i hate iPhones lol you were totally right, hope you got what i meant now
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] megazone23:
I got this case, it protects all corners. It was $3.99 when I bought it.

I do use front camera for photo, video call for family and work and this is the only case I found that protect all corners.

It makes sliding harder, most of the time I need to use 2 hands.

If it's not hard to slide enough for you, you can probably tape the bottom corners of the case.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Vpo...371.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.53524c4drKkFIH

But why bought a slider phone when you don't use it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Jaitsu:
Here's the same case on Amazon, in case anyone prefers (costs more, though): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SCT94RZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the same case, and it does make the sliding a -tiny- bit harder, but not so much that you'd notice that much IMO. I also kinda wish the material had a bit more texture to make it easier to grip; it's a little like the included case in that it's smooth to the touch, but I do find it easier to hold than the included one (that thing will slip right out of your hand!). Definitely a keeper, though, since it actually protects the bottom edge of the slider. I will say that the part that extends down there isn't really *attached* to the edge, it just kinda sits around it, but it still makes me feel more confident that the screen isn't going to pop out and break like it seems like it could with cases that just have the bottom edge cut out.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] IronBlossom:
Wow!! So I'm not the only one who dont even care for front camera!

Thank god someone asked the question !!

I found a workaround that stops the sliding. I bought Remax Magnetic Cable for Type-C from a near store (since, pulling type-c in-out causes connection issues later). The circular connector literally blocks the sliding. ??
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] konstantin77:
Redmi 7 soft cases fit well enough and allow nice fingerprint access and full camera access. You only need get used to the different position of the side buttons, but its not a prob...

Also you get full bottom protection.

I have one soft case with bumpers on the corners, works perfect!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brodyamc:
I've got a G965F that I've just updated to 9.0 (CSA1).

After setting up my phone I went into developer options, switched on OEM unlock and reset my phone.

Even after doing this, I still have a prenormal RMM state, however my FRP and OEM lock are both "off".

Has anyone experienced this, or know a workaround?

Or do I have to still wait 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] daviddema:
No workaround, wait 7 days. If you're lucky, it will clear. Depending on where you bought the phone, this might never clear though.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Joad:
Downgrade to oreo then wait 7 days after that you get normal Rmm
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] daviddema:
In my understanding, it's not necessary to downgrade to Oreo for it to clear after 7 days. If it won't clear on Pie, then it won't clear on Oreo either. If in Oreo, it was clearing for OP and OEM unlock was appearing after 7 days, then the RMM prenormal will also clear in Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Joad:
Ok my bad then cause i heard you have to be on oreo to get normal RMM state .
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brodyamc:
When I was on Oreo, the OEM unlock option wasn't even there no matter how much uptime I had etc.

But straight away on Pie the option was there.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] daviddema:
That's correct, but even though the option is there immediately on Pie, RMM state is still prenormal in download mode, and therefore still unable to flash non official binaries in Odin. In Pie there is also a "KG state : checking" line in download mode. I think KG stands for Knox Guard (guessing only). Anyone's guess what that is for... complete opacity on the Samsung side...

Where did you buy your phone? Please post your csc codes in settings -> about phone -> software information -> service provider SW version
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brodyamc:
Bought my phone in NZ, but I've since flashed the Australian pie update (TEL).

Not sure how much info you want from SW version, so here's all of it:

SAOMC_SM-G965F_OXM_TNZ_PP_0008

22b4d3d424027ece

TNZ/TNZ/TNZ
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] daviddema:
I can only guess that NZ phones are locked also then... if you can, check the phones of some of your friends in download mode and see whether they have the RMM prenormal and/or KG checking lines.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rafik25:
Hello and what about my phone plz ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] daviddema:
You bought your phone in Germany and use it with a UK SIM I think?

As far as I know, European phones don't have that problem. Your prenormal mode should clear in 7 days. Check it in download mode, if it says RMM state prenormal, then it's locked. If it doesn't say RMM prenormal, you're good to flash whatever you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rafik25:
Yes i bought it in eBay.de. this is the lastest firmware....

In fact im leaving in France i tried several Times with lastest XEF Oreo and pie firmware but Always the same issues with prenormal state still full 168h ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brodyamc:
Well I checked my friend's S9+ (of same model etc.); the RMM status wasn't there and his device status was Custom.

He says he hasn't rooted etc., and I believe him as he wouldn't even know what to do.

Either way it doesn't change anything haha, I'll just wait the remaining 5 days and hope for the best :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brodyamc:
Just waited my 168 hours and my RMM state is still prenormal.

Bit unfortunate.

Edit: I restarted a couple times and my RMM state had disappeared from download mode and I was able to flash TWRP!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] u0aol:
I had no issues with RMM or OEM Unlock on the 9650 8.0, since moving to Pie, RMM won't clear and OEM Unlock option disappeared.

Downgrade to the newest 8.0 firmware you can, switch OFF OEM Unlock, Update to Pie, then switch OEM Unlock back on and wait the 7 day waiting period for RMM - This in theory should solve the issue as long as your model is able to be unlocked and root compatible.

Hope this clears up your understanding! :)

[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] bubanj93:
Hello,

sorry if this was asked already before, but is anyone else having problems with Huawei stock theme app? To be more precise, I've encountered problems only with 3rd party theme apps, such as this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=emui.en.com.S9_UX9&hl=en.

In my case, mentioned theme gets applied only partially (color and style in apps like messages and dialer are changed, but status bar icons along with navigation bar icons remain unchanged). Running stock, without root and with locked bootloader.

My model is FIG-LX1C432

Currently on version 8.0.0.170.
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] Livi-Tech:
Hi, I'm actually a developer of a system called Pixel Platform that is based on EMUI 8.0.0 for the Huawei P Smart and this has also been a problem for me

To avoid confusion I would like to explain something

the end numbers represent different features ( higher number means newer features but not newest software released )

for example this month 8.0.0.146 was released before 8.0.0.137, but next month 8.0.0.137 could be released before 8.0.0.146 ( Huawei releases the same version every month but with newer security patches ) so even though 8.0.0.146 has newer features it is not the newest available software.

8.0.0.139 or 8.0.0.138 is where Gesture navigation was introduced but theming became broken ( started showing up around November/December so it has been around for a while existing through multiple versions )

As much as i'd like to update my software base to newer than 8.0.0.137 I can not as theming is broken on newer than 8.0.0.138/8.0.0.139

You are not alone in experiencing this and I am surprised it hasn't been reported as much
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] bubanj93:
Thank you for the elaborate and quick answer.

I see, it is good to know that I am not the only one facing these problems, but yeah it sucks...

While on the topic of versions, may I ask how did you downgrade/install version 8.0.0.138?

I've tried all methods I could find, and still nothing. It is strange that hard resetting phone with dload method cannot be done, as installation aborts at 5% with an error..

Thank you for you time once again.
[Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers] Livi-Tech:
I have an unlocked bootloader so I can use firmware finder and Hurupdater

DLOAD method does work but it is not as simple as just using update.app like it used to be

you could message my facebook page "Livitech development" and I could walk you through installing a specific version for your phone model through DLOAD
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabbit308:
Hi all,

I have an N910G in Australia. I have tried many different roms and different OS versions but always have the same problem of random shutdowns on low cell signal.

I'm currently running the Andycar rom because it's just a customised stock MM room and even uses the original CSC.

My phone has never been better but the random shutdowns are happening even on this room.

It can't be an EMMC issue because the phone is perfectly reliable on a stock factory rom.

My wife also has an N910G. I have the exact same issue on both device.

I just installed wakelock to see if it helps but it's too soon to know yet.

What am i missing?

Thanks in advance for any comments :svetius:

Battery. There is a topic about it out there somewhere.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabbit308:
Only with non standard roms? Multiple phones and batteries, all working properly with stock roms, all will work for days with a reliable cell signal. All will reboot or turn off with a low or changing cell signal.

I'm not ruling battery out but it doesn't sound right to me.

My gut feeling is that it's CSC or BL related but I've tried original stock versions with the custom ROMs - same problems.

The last rom I tried was a customised debloated stock rom - same problem.

I'm lost ...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabbit308:
Hi all,

I have stared from scratch with another fresh install of Andycar customised stock MM 6.0.1 rom. I can use it around the house perfectly for days on end. Battery life and performance is awesome but when I go to work the phone will randomly shutdown every 10 minutes or so.

It's definitely not battery.

It's not EMC.

It's not the sim.

I've flashed modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin from the stock rom (that works 100% reliably) but still I have the same problem that I've had with every single rom I've ever run apart from the stock Samsung rom.

Any time I go somewhere where signal is low the phone will soon shutdown instantly.

Is there anyone else in Australia running an SM-N910G on Telstra with a non standard rom?

:(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tattmann:
Hi, I am not in australia, but can say this.... for what its worth, I have an n910v galaxy note 4 on a custom rom myself. I have set up 3 others exactly like mine. I have not used the rom you mentioned but am using the modestrom instead. none of the phones I set up have ever had random shutdowns. It may be a random problem with the rom itself. I know it isn't really helpful, but wanted to state it anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabbit308:
Hey tattmann,

It doesn't specifically help me but I do appreciate the reply :good:

It's strange that i can produce the same problem on multiple (3) devices with so many different roms. I can't believe that no one else has had the same problems.

In every case I can restore a stock rom and the device will perform reliably - despite having horrible battery life, masses of bloatware and crappy performance... :(

Thanks again for the reply ;)

With custom roms my phone is shutting down completely when i either open gallery or do two or multiple things at once. Weird thing is once its shut down i cant power it on immediately.

This is noted as SOLVED, but what was the resolution? I have a similar/same problem. I have 3 S9+ phones, 2 of which do not have VoLTE and they no longer work with Cricket or AT&T. I bought all the phones from swappa or other, so unsure of the original carrier, but I assume this is either 1) a setting which is specific to the original carrier and I just need to affect a setting change or 2) a firmware specific to the original carrier and I maybe can copy the firmware from my working S9+ to the other two?
