my bl 5 file is failing md5 check in odin. ive tried twice...weird thing is 2 loads fine lol. also in fastboot my s8 is showing as normal samsung usb device. doesnt it require adb fastboot for odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bradical711:
Try restarting your computer and also make sure you have Samsung drivers up to date as well. Also, are you using regular Odin or cosmey/modified Odin? And is it the latest 3.13.1? Also I don't believe adb fastboot is required for Odin but I'll need someone else's input to double check. I don't think so because I used Odin before having adb fastboot etc.

If you are using the odin in the OP you are ok, other wise redownload it again.

Thanks for the reply, I haven't tried removing the md5 yet

should I use a winter type of tool to decrypt the md5 format or are you saying to just delete md5 from the file name

also have you been able to integrate magisk rom on the s8?

do you have any suggestions of apps or firmware I could flash on a sm-g950u1 that would hide the root

Is Dream Rom a Custom Rom or is it a Factory Rom that's modified to be compatible with the root?

you do not need to unpackaged or repackage the system.img

you then run the Recover_System and it should boot straight to the os

I currently have bootloader v1 (rooted via SamPWND). Will this method update my bootloader to v2 or do I need to do that separately?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Revision 1 is pretty out dated. This will knock you to at least 2. But this point in time no reason not to fully update to 5 if any thing you gain possibilities on 5
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:

Do not flash bootloader files.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] snippss:
Great, thank you so much for the reply. As TheMadScientist said, it is pretty out of date. Is there any point in staying on v1 or should I just update to v5 since this method works with that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Update to v5 can help you to switch between pie and nougat any time.

Finger print and iris scanner will not work any more with nougat on v5 also will stick with with 81% battery.

Pie is ok but you cant root but you can use safestrap by flashing combo bootloaders.

Re instal ROM SM-G955U/U1

Thanks for your quick response.

I read the title but I thought it would be something similar just using the specific ROM for my model.

In this same site I found the steps for my specific model but it doesn't work for me.

I am following the instructions in the post [Root] [SM-G955U / U1] [SM-G955W] [Snapdragon] [V6_Bootloader] [EDL_Method] [Safestrap] written by [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION].

I had worked and rescue my SM-G955U with ROM SM-G955U1, but I did not know that it is not necessary to update from the cell phone but from odin and when updating it it remained on samsung screen. and got locked.

So I did the same thing about the post again but this time it didn't work anymore.

Everything seems to do it after EDL loads the download odin method but after everything I try to flash it gives me an error fail of odin just before finishing the system step.

Odin mode download data shows me the following:

Much better than the current version of Android/Google Messages. Unfortunately, doesn't work for calls. I use Google Voice still for voice calls to/from all my devices. A while back, I ported my VZW number to Google Voice so I have more flexability on calling.

T mobile version works well
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] drjoe1:
So they have reactivated calling on the Verizon Messenger Plus app!

First, you need to specify a 911 address. The default is your billing address - which is my work office and needed to be changed to the home address. When you enable the calling function, you both receive calls to your cell (e en if the cell is powered off) and can place calls from your tablet.

The limitations:

1) There doesn't seem to be a way change away from the default ring tone. Maybe 8f you sync contacts with 6our phone?

2) There doesn't seem to be a way to independently set the ringer volume - it is loud and controlled by the multi-media volume. If you are listening to music or video and the multi-media volume is high, the ringer is high.

It is just a button push to turn the calling function on and off.

Hello,

I live in Switzerland and a few months ago I had the very bad idea to buy a second hand LG G5 sim-unlocked but tied to AT&T.

AT&T being AT&T, they don't release firmware updates (nougat, oreo or security patches) outside US ...

In order to bypass this "situation", I thought of 2 "new" solutions, BUT i NEED some advise and info by American citizens :

1) Buy a AT&T sim card that works abroad ... for updating a firmware which is 2gb ?

I really need someone to point me to the right "solution" in this case...

2) Buy a H850 "motherboard" to bypass the "h820" ?

Is this a solution ?

In other words, if I replace the h820 motherboard by a h850 one, will I be to upgrade my phone to Oreo and the latest security patches ?

Be kind, if you know the answer, just give me the info you have !

It could be a hardware fault, in which case there is not much you can do, except try a different battery (the battery is a common cause of crashes).
