[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ABigMoustache:
I updated to Android Pie via OTA a few weeks ago and since then my phone in not able to install apps in any way, tried Play Store, Galaxy Store and ADB and nothing works, they always get stuck at the installation part.

What's interesting though is that if I go into secure folder and try to install from there, it actually works so I have no idea what is happening.

I cannot factory reset as I'm on a trip and I need the settings on my phone to be working fine.

Any ideas?

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. That should fix your OS issue.

Already did, does not work at all..

I was thinking about installing the indian update for the March security patch maybe that would help. I'm in a COO CSC is there a problem with that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
In that case back up all the data stored on your device and perform a hard factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ABigMoustache:
As I said I cannot do that.. Isn't there a way to troubleshoot this without factory resetting?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
1; Try clearing play store cache in

Phone Setting/app/ (3dots show system apps)/Google play store.

2: or clear data and cache on play store.

3: or remove your Google account and clear data and cache on play store and re-log into your Google account.

4: or Do a factory reset!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] darkavenger333:
Hello all,

I have a quick silly question that I just can't seem to crack. While the Pie update was nice and all, I can't stand the camera. The biggest issue, for me anyway, is that I can't seem to get a great manual focus on the new version. To clarify, the old method of manual focus that I never had issue with simply zoomed in on the center portion of the screen and then let you adjust the focus. The new method has all these green lines and nonsense... and while I understand how it's suppose to function, it never comes out anywhere close to as good as what I was getting with the old method. So I jumped ship and returned to Oreo... only to find that camera app, which otherwise reverted as well, still has this new method of focusing :mad:

I used the November firmware(BRJ6) for my T-Mobile S9(SM-G960U)

Any thoughts are very much appreciated!

I am in pie beta now . Is i am able to install twrp and custom roms????
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Update vendor + firmware for custom Rom use

Thanks to user Lurii G from 4PDA, when I first bought the phone I updated my knowledge by following his posts, the following is partly paraphrased from his original posts.

Install updated version of TWRP Recovery for the M8 ( AKA Dipper) : https://dl.twrp.me/dipper/

Update*vendor*using TWRP* :

Global and Chinese Stable Vendor files : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/#stable

Global and Chinese Beta Vendor files : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/#weekly

Certain Roms cause encryption issues and there is no way to resolve installation issues without first decrypting storage and then flashing the Vendor + Firmware files

Download the vendor and firmware either from the links above or my mega link on the OP ( doesn't matter)

If you want to know more about the most up to date vendor versions directly from yshalsager

Go here: Firmware update Sources : https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/firmware_xiaomi_dipper

Note that firmware is not a complete copy of the Miui stock ROM firmware, it is only a package of the most essential drivers, partition images all of which serves as a base for a custom rom.

Be sure to read the OP of any Rom that you plan to install, You may need to change the base firmware depending on what drivers that developer built the rom over. Use at your own risk.

I strongly suggest that you make a nandroid backup prior to making any changes.

I suggest using an OTG drive and flash the following files prior to flashing any AOSP Rom:

AOSP Installation Steps

1. Flash Vendor in this case : FSTAB-EXT4_F2FS-Dipper.zip it is the most current >

2. When installing the vendor file: Be sure that you select Mount and then Vendor , so that you are only flashing to the vendor partition

3. Next Flash Drivers: At the time of writing this post, I am using : 9.3.14 Firmware :

Note you may need a more up to date or older version depending on what Rom you flash. At the time of writing this 9.3.14 is the most recent firmware

4. Flash your Rom of choice ROM

5. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_v1.4.zip ( FYI: Magisk 18.1 includes DM verity disable)

6. Flash Gapps ( Only if needed )

7. Flash Magisk optional*

8. Reboot* to Recovery ( Check boxes to install TWRP Manager)

9. Reboot to system and setup

Lets Recap :

1. After installing the the vendor, be sure to flash the radio driver ( Firmware) Next you flash the Rom, the disable DM Verity file, Gapps if needed, Root if wanted > Reboot to Recovery, Reboot to system > setup.

2. Some Roms may already include the vendor, if you have a bootloop, try reflashing the vendor file only, and be sure to mount the vendor partition

Thanks a lot mate for the big description, its really helpful. What I do not really understand is , I got a chinese mi8 and doesnr it mean I would enable ARB by installing a vendor of 9.3.14 ?

The link that you posted is not working for me, it only goes to Google, with the link in the searchbox.

I found a video for you that should help clarify.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf44z8xbKH4

So to answer your question you should be able to flash the Global Weekly, granted that you have followed all of the preliminary steps, also be sure to back up your data with the built in Backup tool. Trust me is makes these updates so much faster and much more convenient.

Watch the 5 minute video to ensure that you have covered all steps.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The War Profiteer:
Mi8 supports USB 2, not 3. It'll have no effect on the performance rather than a placebo.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Really good guide, but my tool can't directly unlock the mi 8 bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Wow, thanks for pointing that out, it was left there by mistake.

I knew that it could not unlock the bootloader for the Mi8, since the Xiaomi Unlocking tool is needed.

But your All in One Tool can no doubt unlock the bootloader of other devices. A section the guide was copied from my original write up written for the Le Pro 3 almost 2 years ago. .and I thought that I removed all of the Le Pro 3 references and even proofread the post. I facepalm?

I completely missed and apparently left that part in. So thanks for letting me know, I will remove that part ASAP.

Otherwise your tool is amazing, and I hope that we can get more people to use it and then contribute something to you for your hard work, and building such an highly useful and amazing tool.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
No, You misread/misunderstood the post, or I didn't explain it well enough to be clear.

I actually only recommended using USB 30

flash drives

, because they are much faster than usb 20 flash drives and can take advantage of the high speed offered by the USB C Port.

The reason why USB 3.x drives are better is because you can keep a massive library of files, and more importantly large nandroid backups on the USB drive and as long as backups are stored with the correct folder hierarchy in tact, you can quick restore those backups quickly and from the USB flash drive itself instead of the storage partition.

Next, the USB 2.0 transfer speed is 480 megabits per second (Mbps) while USB 3.0 transfer speed is 4,800 Mbps. This means that USB 3.x is approximately 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

You can take advantage of this speed by using USB 3.0 drives. Plus they are cheap.

I bought 2, 64 GB USB 3.0 and flash drives for $21 a year and a half ago, after getting tired of waiting on transferring 12GB files to and from USB 2.0 drives.

The drives are in fact compatible, I use them in real life, so there is no placebo effect, usb 3.0 is dramatically faster, and the time difference transferring files is large. I am sure that there are plenty of whitepapers out there and videos to prove it., if you have doubts. In fact probably can find info here : USB C : 3.1 Interoperability Testing v0.95 w USB Type-C.pdf , to be able to use "USB C" there are standards in place about power delivery and transfer speed.

EDIT: I embarrassed myself, after spending a hour and a half researching this for myself, I found that the The War Profiteer was indeed correct, the Mi8 does not have Super Speed transfer which for me is I think very unusual to me since I have several other phones in my house with USB 3.0 compatible Usb 3.0 Ports.

This is one of the corners that Xiaomi cut to keep their prices low. So my argument above is moot, and I have no issue admitting my mistake..learned something new! At the end of the day, I would rather have amoled over USB 3.0 speed so no worries.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The War Profiteer:
There were probably an error on your side, at this point I'll consider that you are OK to export your backups/data from your phone over USB 2 connection, I guess. But USB C port does not offer any kind of high speed, Type C is only a different form of an USB port, like door handles. :) Just a different shape but nothing else.

Nice thread tho, there are a lot of things that I think newbies would learn about.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The War Profiteer:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eclipse1991:
So after reading all your stuff in this Thread and on other pages I guess that you can still flash n official.global rom on a chinese mi8 AS LONG as you do not lock the bl and you dont downgrade it. That should mean that in theory it should always be possible to update to the newest available version.

Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Yes, that is correct so just be careful and you should be fine.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Don't worry about choosing mount unless you are installing the vendor file., in that case you only want to install it to the vendor partition and it only matters If you are installing a CAF or AOSP custom rom. You can aleve yourself of confusion by rebooting to recovery after installing vendor and the mount points will automatically reset. Chose factory reset and then install your rom from within TWRP

Most Custom Roms have a script that will choose the correct partition for installation, if there is a problem you will get an installation error 1 or error 7 if the issue is storage encryption.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Thanks for comments and yes this thread is for new people.

Regarding USB C and door handles, I really thought you were joking? You say that are from Uranus, so I thought that you were surely just being hilarious and simply pulling my leg.

Absolutely manufacturers can indeed use the USB C shape, and even implement quick charge technologies and yet cut corners and choose to not implement USB 3 + speed.

According to everything that I read the Mi8 is rated for Quick Charge and one would assume high speed transfers as well.

Sadly No that is not the case, you are absolutely correct and I was completely wrong, I tested the speed and my old LeEco phones are much much faster with USB file transfer speed.

While I still love this phone, Xiaomi did not implement USB 3.X Super Speed Technology. For some reason! It's really disappointing because this USB C port also does not support USB C to HD video, while my Le Pro 3's USB C port does.

Thank you for being persistent. I ended up spending over an hour looking for information to prove my case only to find that I was flat wrong.

Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
You are right, so slow!

By the way, I off topic... 9.3.14 is a perfect build.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The War Profiteer:
You are welcome.

There are no obvious reason for this, but I'd say its about the cost, perhaps. There are some alternative options to transfer any data over ADB, always. It's way faster than MTP interface or any other software that can be used for this purpose. First of all, transfer over wifi will be the fastest and most convenient way when there's only a USB2 port, which will be done with a companion app that will let you use ADB over wifi. Here's the app I've been using for years for this purpose: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.wifiadb

On other conditions that you will not be able to use any app or network interface, like getting stuck on TWRP, it will still allow you to send adb commands.

After getting the recent adb libraries on your computer, all you need will be two commands and the path of the desired file or folder.

adb pull input output

adb push input output

These two commands will provide you way faster file transfer, without root. still, I'd recommend using them over WiFi.

The problem here is that if you will be transferring to a USB device, you won't be able to use them since there will be no adb interface. I guess using terminal emulators with native Linux commands should be fine, just in theory, but haven't tested it yet.

Hello so i just recently purchased a Note 9 model - SM-N960F, i did not know it was international before i received it today. and was wondering if there's any way to possibly change the firmware into a US model i was reading a lot online but so far haven't came up with much. someone did tell me i could change the CSC and that could fix it but i would really prefer if someone could explain if its possible or not. I am not even sure where i could possible download the US firmware i did find this website that talked about installing the US firmware. Sorry can't post the link. but i am not sure if it will work it does have my model number there but i am a bit iffy on trying it atm. So if anyone knows i would really appreciate it! also does anyone know what features i am missing from international and US version? doesn't seem like much besides the VoLTE and the VoWifi. but yea not too sure sorry! hope u guys can help i am new here also nice to meet everyone ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
Different SoCs, not possible
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sefrcoko:
You can't flash the U.S. firmware on your phone since it's a different model than yours. I believe you can change CSC if you root your phone though, but can't guarantee if the features you mentioned will work or not as that can depend on the carrier too. Rooting also has it's own limitations.
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] Mark RS:
I've got a P-Smart 2019 and the display has cracked around the tear-drop cutout. Only the display has cracked - The digitizer is still perfect. The phone hasn't been dropped or knocked or bent. The screen literally spontaneously cracked. I bet phone manufactures hear these types of stories all the time, and Huawei's repair centre in Finland are saying that the screen is cracked, therefore it must have been dropped and isn't covered by warranty.

The phone has always been kept in a case, and I replaced the film screen protector with a tempered glass one. When I saw the damaged display I removed the screen protector, and it's clear that the digitizer isn't damaged at all. I'm also certain that the phone wasn't knocked or bent in any way, so how best to handle this with Huawei? I've attached a photo, although from looking at it you can see that the display is broken, but you can't see that the digitizer is perfect.

[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryHercules:
P Smart 2019 - hairline crack developed near camera cutout

This happened to me too.

The phone is in a solid protective case.

It has also has a front screen protector.

I have not dropped it or impacted it.

I have not squashed it or scratched it.

A curved 15mm long hairline crack has developed that starts from the camera (or teardrop) cutout at the top of the screen.

I suspect the glass area around the cut out may be weak spot created during the manufacturing process.

I can see no other explanation as the screen was OK one minute, then not the next.

A small search reveals I am not the only person who has discovered an unexplainable hairline crack travelling outward from an origin point ond the circumference of the camera cut out.

The fact that there are multiple cases with the same specific details indicates a high possibility that this could be a common fault with the P Smart 2019.

A weak area of glass at the point where the camera cutout meets the main screen.

Could it be that this weak area could split after an unspecified period of time.

Hence the reason we are beginning to see a gradual occurance / increase of the same specific fault in this particular model since its initial release in approx late 2018 / early 2019?

The P smart 2019 - an otherwise excellent phone.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this model.

Note - accidental or impact damage cannot be included.

This crack developed on its own.

I will include images of the fault characteristic in another post.

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Amitie10g:
Let's tell my experience.

I had my Moto G6 Play for near two months. I've unlocked the Bootloader and attempted to root it but unsuccessful. So, I've rolled back to my stock rom via Fastboot (using the stock ROM linked in this forum). It worked fine after that.

Some days ago, the official Android Pie update has been available, so, I installed it via OTA. However, it failed. After trying installing again, the phone gone down and never powered on again (even entering the Recovery mode, even charging all the night).

Therefore, I left the device to the technical service, knowing the bootloader unlock voids the warranty.

Does this happened to someone else? In what scenarios?

Thanks for commenting.
