Any updates about this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
I recently bought a used Note 8, the previous owner sold it as "failed motherboard, for parts". Its a N9500 Hong Kong version with Snapdragon chipset with this CSC: N9500ZHS4CRK1_N9500ZZH4CRK1_TGY

The phone turns on but boot-loops. Sometimes it gets into Android and when it does all SYSTEM apps "keep closing" such as Play Store, Google, Camera, Settings, everything, I can't even remember all their names. All apps keep closing. After massive app closure, the phone enters boot-loop again.

So obviously, I entered recovery mode, wiped cache, wiped factory data, there are no accounts on this phone and it is NOT FRP locked. After wiped, the phone behaves exactly the same and it took a lot of bootloops to get through the welcome configuration screen, next next bootloop, next next skip next bootloop and so on.

I then opened up the phone (which was never opened before) because I suspected a faulty battery, I wasted more money on purchasing a new battery, I replaced the battery but it behaves exactly the same.

I then reflashed the same N9500ZHS4CRK1_N9500ZZH4CRK1_TGY soft in ODIN which was downloaded from sammobile.com and guess what, it behaves the same.

I reflashed a newer version N9500ZHS4CRL1_N9500ZZH4CRL1_TGY in ODIN but again it behaves the same.

Now in recovery mode I just recently noticed this:

#fail top open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#

#Reboot Recovery_Cause is [UNKNOWN]#

No Support SINGLE-SKU

File-Based OTA

Support API: 3

dm-verity verification failed...

After researching what this error means I discovered that it may have something to do with phone rooting!? Now since this phone wasn't mine I have no idea what the previous owner did to it so I entered download mode again to see the status of KNOX and guess what, it says:

RPMB fuse blown

RPMB PROVISIONED

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

FRP LOCK: OFF

CROM SERVICE: ON

WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

QUALCOMM SECUREboot: ENABLE

RP SWREV: B4(2,1,1,1,1) K1 S1

SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE

DID: 205EE0EE92FD

So WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 as far as I know means that everything is official? I don't know if you can actually root the phone without triggering Knox which should then read 0x1

I also find this RPMB fuse blown suspicious which I have no idea what it means.

So can anyone help me??? Is my problem just software? What can I do??? Or is the motherboard simply dead and gone and requires replacement? Motherboards for Note 8 are extremely expensive so I hope the motherboard isn't dead.......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] soyuz4u:
All the best

As far as i understand, ur problem should be software only.... Try flashing twrp in download mode and then root and then custom ROM....all this if the phone is out of warranty. And i hope oem unlock is toggled.... Knox 0x0 means not rooted previously.....try it out and share what happened
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
Is there no other way? I would prefer not to root my phone and install custom ROM, I would prefer to have an official ROM... also if it has everything stock, official, why is it doing this? Why is it bootlooping? Anyway if there is no other way then please provide me with a perfectly functional custom ROM which I should install. I need to mention that my phone is DUOS (DUAL SIM) if that matters. The phone doesn't have any warranty, like I said I bought it used, second hand. Additionally its from Hong Kong while Im from Europe and the previous owner told me that Samsung told him that they won't fix his phone because its from another region... BS if you ask me but whatever! Additionally to make things worse, like I said I disassembled it to replace its battery so definitely no warranty here.

I will return and keep you updated, no worries. Thank you very much for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] soyuz4u:
Best way to find out is to flash the firmware specific to ur device.... Try the pie firmware.... And make sure its specific to ur device.... Maybe try a diff csc.... Also flash bootloader separately and then try to boot...i had the same problem once with an older device... That helped... Make sure u know what u e doing before going for anything.... But since that device is already dead...u can try...no harm... Keep it charged...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
This is the exact model I have: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N9500/TGY/

Please give me a link to what I should install. Different CSC, bootloader, anything you think I should install. I don't wanna make a mistake and brick it even more than this... :eek: Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
RPMB fuse blown is normal. That's how they all come from factory.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
Ohh I see and thank you for clearing that thing up for me, but...... what's the solution though? Did you read my post? Do you have a guide or an advice for me? Please?? Pretty please??? I don't wanna spend more money on a motherboard and I really wanna keep this phone as my own, its so beautiful! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I have read your post and have no solution. My guess is your flash memory is bad, and you can't fix that.

Your best bet is to probably buy a working Note 9 with a broken screen for cheap. Swap motherboards. The back glass should have the IMEI on it, so keep the right back glass with the right motherboard.

Put both phones back together. Keep the working one, and sell the other one for parts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
Jesus Christ Samsung is becoming the worst brand in the world. First exploding Note 7 then Note 8 with flash memory fails. I think I this is my last Samsung EVER. My next phone will definitely be Nokia 9. I didn't had the chance to test Nokia out since they relaunched with Android and they seem like really well built phones.

Anyway until then, soyuz4u seems to have a solution for me so I will like to try out what he is proposing before giving up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
EVERY company has some faulty devices. It's electronics. They fail. My guess is the failure rate of the flash memory (if that's what it actually is), is minute. Just because YOUR decide failed doesn't mean Samsung as a whole is a bad company or make bad devices. You bought a device that you knew was out of warranty and had previous problems without knowing the history of it. To be blunt, that's your fault, not Samsung's.

Honestly, they handled the Note 7 issue as well as could be expected. They did everything they could to fix it and then finally issue refunds and incentives to owners.

But I'm sure Nokia has NEVER had a warranty claim on any device they've sold ever, so it may be a good switch for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Exactly. Plus OP bought a device being sold as "for parts" only, so it doesn't make sense to complain about Samsung as a whole :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
Guys guys this is going off the rails and totally off-topic! Anyone is entitled to their opinions, its freedom of speech, I perfectly understand this and respect your opinions just as you guys love Samsung, I have a few words of criticism for it but now please no more off-topic messages.

As a response to what you guys are saying,

1 - Why don't you come with an actual solution to the problem instead of talking about how great Samsung is? Why do you have to reply to my bottom message where I criticized Samsung but not to the first message where I ask for a solution?

and 2 - Does any of you own shares at Samsung? I've never been a brand fanboy, why would I defend a multi-trillion foreign corporation?? What would I have to gain out of it? Im not Korean, it doesn't benefit my economy, if anything it harms my economy, as they suck billions of euros out of my country. yearly You guys are too forgiving and forgetting about the people who actually got injured by Note 7. You forgot about the infamous Note 4 and Note Edge "mmc_read fail" mass failures which also happened with S6 and S6 Edge. Millions of customers got scammed by Samsung back then. Samsung even got fined 5 million Euros in Italy because of Note 4 mass fails. There are even class action law-suits regarding Note 4.

It doesn't matter I got this Note 8 used, as is. What about the previous owner? Does it make it ok to fail in his hands? Why fail in the first place? Why would a top 1000 Euro phone become "for parts" in the first place in only a year after production?? What if I bought it new and failed in my hands?? The logic you are applying here makes no sense. I can understand this for a 100-150 Euro phone but not 1000 Euro! 1000 Euros are a lot of money, with 1000 Euros you can buy a decent car, a Renault Megane 2006-2007 for example which will last you many many years so spending 1000 Euros on a phone to fail after just 1 year is ok? Anyway please please no more off-topic. All I said is that I don't think I like Samsung anymore and you fanboys came at me like lions defending Samsung which is a thing I can't stand. I don't hate Samsung, if I did, I wouldn't have bought this Note 8 but Im not a fanboy and I will never be a fanboy for any corporation in this world, unless I just work for them and its my job.

Now please lets get back on topic, does anyone know how to fix this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Wow. Ok, for one YOU started the off-topic conversation. Two, I'm not a brand fanboy or a share holder, nor was I defending Samaung. I have owned just about every single brand of smartphone made. I was explaining you were the one who bought a "for parts only" device then complained that it doesn't work and is out of warranty. Those are the risks you took buying it. For all you know, it wasn't a manufacturer defect, but physical damage from the previous owner. Third, I did offer a solution. Buy a working Note 8 with a broken screen and swap motherboards, then sell the other one for parts. I've done it many times on other phones.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
I didn't start anything, all I said is that I do not like Samsung anymore and its my business what I like and don't like and I don't want anyone to convince me otherwise. I can't believe a 1000 Euro phone fails irreparably! Of course I didn't pay 1000 but the guy who I got it from did and the principle itself is what pisses me off. What if I would have been in his shoes bought it new paid 1000 then total fail and unable to fix it just after 1 year!? If this was 1 in 1 million cases, ohh ok, tough luck what can I say? But this is actually extremely common with Samsung nowadays. It all started with Note 4. Note 4 was the first major Samsung disaster. Note 3 was a jewel of Samsung, the best Note ever produced. I not once seen a Note 3 with failed board even to this day after years of use, anyway avoiding more off-topic talk, I am aware about replacing the motherboard, I even mentioned it in my first post, even the title of the thread is "hardware or software" fault. This is from the bottom of my first post "So can anyone help me??? Is my problem just software? What can I do??? Or is the motherboard simply dead and gone and requires replacement? Motherboards for Note 8 are extremely expensive so I hope the motherboard isn't dead......."

Also the phone does not have any kind of physical damage whatsoever, it doesn't even have water damage, like I said in my first post, I disassembled the phone to replace its battery and it was sealed, never opened before, clean and no nicks and dents on its frame. Its like brand new.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Let me explain this:

You started a thread asking if your issue was hardware or software. You got some ideas and suggestions from people, including me. That's all ON TOPIC.

Then YOU went off on a tangent about how crappy Samsung was, brought up the Note 7, and talked about getting a Nokia because they look high quality. That's all OFF TOPIC.

You started the off topic conversation, so I replied to it. You don't get to go off topic, give your opinion, then get mad at others for going off topic WITH YOU and say you don't want people to try to change your mind.

Again, you bought a broken phone. We told you what could possibly be wrong with it. Your opinions of Samsung's quality control had nothing to do with it. You're the one who steered the thread off course, not me.

By the way, your last comment was all entirely off topic. This thread isn't about the Note 4 or Note 3 or the cost of the Note 8. Please try to stay on topic from now on. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Not worth arguing with some people bro because sometimes no matter what you say, it just doesn't register and they can't accept any other outcome or information except for what they've already settled on in their head..

Now, can I get some help with this phone that was sold for parts only? I swear it must be just a software problem, now you just give me the freaking answer that'll fix this parts only thing!!! J/K hahaha..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
:laugh:

LOL. I could not agree more. Good luck with your Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
Ok its my fault for daring to criticize Samsung! You're acting as if I have something against the seller, no, wrong! VERY WRONG! I know the seller, he's a friend of mine, not a close friend but still a friend. He was awesome and I feel bad for him and what happened to his former phone.

Now let's get back on topic and please kindly ALL of you who have no clue how to deal with this error, LEAVE THE THREAD and stop spamming it with your useless posts! You clearly have no idea how to fix this yet you waste time in this thread... You said you offered help? What help? You clearly have no idea, I already said in my first post that I know how to swap boards but I would prefer to fix this board if possible.

I'm not gonna reply to any more Samsung fanboys regardless of what you have to say. You have an actual software solution to this board? Please kindly share it, otherwise, just go and don't come back. The only one who came up with actual solutions was soyuz4u. Everyone else just time wasters!

Have a nice day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I don't care that you criticized Samsung. I truly don't. I'm not a fan boy. As soon as someone makes a better phone than the Note 9, I'm on it, no matter the brand.

I'm not blaming you for criticizing Samsung. I'm blaming you for going off topic and then getting triggered when someone replied to YOUR comment. I didn't go off topic. You're the OP, so you set the topic. You took the thread in a new direction, so I followed along, because I thought I was having a conversation with another adult.

And no one is blaming the seller. I actually never said anything about him. I was actually blaming you. You bought a broken phone, for parts, out of warranty. You don't like any of our answers or solutions, and you just want to blame Samsung for you buying a broken phone that you don't know the history of.

Instead of getting mad and offended by everything, take some responsibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] emisan420:
You are the one gone off-topic. You lost focus on your own issue. And the way you DEMAND for a solution makes you look like a 5 year old child. Behave man. Be a little, just a little more coherent. If you are further past "fanboys" then don't say a word to/about them. If you are so clever, you'd be owning a multi-millionaire company in stead of buying a faulty device.

On the other hand, you should be thankful that at least someone gave you solutions to try out considering your manners.

I've owned multiple Samsung's over the past years, and Apple's devices too, between other brands. Actually I'm rocking a Note 8 since 3 months past launch day, coming from an iPhone X 256gb first hand bought in Spain that 2 months after using it the touchpad stopped working (yes, a $1200 EUR touch device stopped recognizing touches, can happen), never insulted anyone because of that, just my freaking luck. Got it repaired for free btw, but still wanted to own a Note 8.

I upgraded to Pie 2 days ago, I live in Argentina, dunno why it took this long, but nonetheless its an awesome device, never failed me nor stopped surprising me (I found early this morning the 60fps 4k UHD workarround with the awesome "lgcamera" app), and technical service is great here.

I hope you can chill, and be responsible for your own mistakes, without mistreating people who tries to help you. This is a very nice place to spend time learning and asking, let's keep it like this. I also wish you good luck on your quest to make that faulty Note 8 work again, so you can enjoy this great device's features, and if not, I hope you get yourself one that suits you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Are there any partition files to repetition the phone memory for the note 8?

If so you can try that option in Odin.

Have you tried the nand erase option in Odin and the csc file (which factory reset phone)?

If that doesn't work them it's a hardware fault and NO software can fix that.

Have you tried talking to Samsung service center the cost of the fix is?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
[MENTION=7800173]myrunes[/MENTION]

In ODIN, go to the options tab. Check both nand erase and repartition. This about the deepest, lowest level flash and clean slate you can get. Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing a custom ROM isn't going to fix your issue.

If repartition and nand erase doesn't work, then you need a new motherboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
I didn't try erasing nand or repartitioning but I am willing to try it. After all I don't have anything to loose from it. In the mean time I have been experimenting with flashing a combination firmware, you know the binary one. I saw some guides on Youtube where some Indians claimed that if you flash a combination firmware and, enable developer option and USB debugging then flash a stock firmware over it, the phone should get fixed and the DM-VERITY error should be bypassed. I tried it but same problem. While I had the combination firmware installed, the phone functioned perfectly, it didn't bootloop once however as soon as I flashed the stock firmware, bam, the bootloops returned. I don't think the board is dead electronically. I think this may be just software after all but its so complicated to fix it that I'm close to giving up on it. It already consumed soo much of my time. The problem is that I just now noticed that the combination firmware I used was a 7.1 Nougat and then I installed a 8.0 Oreo over it and from I saw in the videos those guys used the exact same combination version and stock version and now Im waiting for download to complete from sammobile.com I saw that binary version needs to match or otherwise it won't work?

I will test the combination trick one more time, this time with the correct versions and if the phone behaves the same and its a failure then I will try your suggestion. I will wipe nand and repartition. I hope there is no risk in doing that such as affecting the EFS partion or something...?

If anyone is interested let me know and I will keep you updated if I fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
Don't I need a PIT file before re-partitioning??? I can't just re-partition like that without a pit file, it will mess up the phone even more. I can't seem to find a N9500 pit file anywhere...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
It should be built into the CSC_OYM file

You can probably try just a nand erase. If that doesn't work, try nand erase and repartition. Just make sure you use CSC_OYM, not HOME_CSC. You have nothing to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
So that means I don't need to add the pit file anymore in that pit tab? Or are you suggesting that I should add it and extract it from that file?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
I finished flashing it in Odin like this: NAND erase, re-partition, pit file, etc.

If I start the phone normally it goes into "installing system updates" then "No command". I think this has to do with some recovery or bootloader mismatch or something? I don't know.... If anyone knows please help. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
No. The pit file is built in. You don't have to add it. Just add the ODIN firmware as normal, then check nand erase and repartition. At least that is my understanding.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
I did that and it behaves exactly the same.

I don't know what to do with this phone anymore but here's the intriguing part I just noticed. Sometimes its even rebooting by itself in the combination firmware and that really shouldn't happen. Sometimes some green colors show up on screen. This happens mainly when the phone is under heavy load. Maybe the board is physically damaged. I am tending to believe 70% that the problem is hardware and only 30% software but I do not know I am not a technician. If the problem is hardware, what could it be? Is it fixable? A blown fuse or SMD or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
If it's hardware, you'll just need to do a motherboard swap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myrunes:
I have made giant progress. I managed to disable CROM and flash a TWRP. I flashed a bunch of stuff such as Magisk, SuperSU, no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 and stock ROM but I get the same problems and stuff. What does this mean? Is my EFS partition corrupt? Or perhaps my bootloader is defective? What do I do now? Should I just root and flash a custom ROM? Would that solve anything?

I know the easy way out is to swap the board but I can't find a board here anywhere for this phone.

With stock ROM I get a blue screen saying "No Command" when I try to enter recovery mode or when I just do a normal power-up. Would flashing a custom ROM fix this "No Command" error?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Well, you are now out of my realm of expertise. Hopefully someone can help you.
