If you are rooted and have TWRP, is there any way to flash a security update through TWRP? Or do we have to go through the painstaking process of flashing stock, re-rooting, and setting up the phone all over again?
[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Vibrato86:
Absolutely. I couldn't be more grateful for all the hard work done basically for me. I'm more savy then the average user but I am not at developer status yet myself. The work done by all the devs on this site has made my Android experience infinitely better countless times and first and foremost gratitude should be the go-to attitude when asking anything. I am owed nothing. I also think comme ts can be better served by being ignored sometimes. And btw thx for the update.bat file. Makes life much easier. Expecially since Android 10 will be on this phone soon! Thx again!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] kipdeontdekker:
Hi people, today i tried to install an aux cable in my brothers car, which is a Renault with a "Cabasse" central sort of media/radio

Long story short, the cable was attached to the Output instead of Input, which we never checked " cause the guy from the shop said it was the right cable"

Now, my S9+ has had many problems, the volume shoots up and down, and ALL media, be it youtube or my music player, even voicemessages in whatsapp stop playing after a second or so.

Ive tested ...a lot, and ive come to the conclusion that media WILL play back when i have my headphones plugged in (just NO sound whatsoever)

When i pull out the headset, media stops (as usual) but then it just wont play anymore.

All apps which play media, music or movie have the problem which is gone when i plug in headphones.

My question is this; since its a 12v circuit in a car, its possible my audiojack in my phone got a surge of 12v

How can i be sure that this is the problem? is there a way to test my hardware?

Before posting i of course wiped cache, factory reset and done all those things, ive been trying a 100 things before posting here but im all out of ideas.

Any help whatsoever would be very much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] kipdeontdekker:
Additional info; movies on facebook mobile DO play without stopping, but still the volume jumps up and down randomly

This was the reason i did a factory reset (which made it all worse now) and this is still happening too

Also happens in Safe Mode

Oh and what a nice surprise i also seem to have lost all contacts on my simcard. Can make calls but what a treat

There are a lot of Custom Roms for the Samsung Galaxy j5 2016 (J510fn). There are so many that I have no time to look at all of them. What do you think is the best Rom? I do not want ROMs that have been developed for gaming.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] halloo13:
Hey guys!

I recently read many Questions About downgrading the Galaxy S8 to 7.0/8.0 after we got the 5x Bootloader.

Well many of you say NO but What many of you forgot is that there is a way to Downgrade your phone.

I already had that Problem with my S6 back in 2016, where I wanted to Downgrade it to 5.1. All you Need for a Downgrade is a Combination File.

Combination files are basically used for testing purposes in the Samsung devices. These files are there to make sure that the functionality of your device is error-free, before making its final release. These files are created by Samsung company and are found in only their devices.

Combination ROM Advantages:

Its help you to repair imie number in some models like S8/S8 plus S7/S7 Edge S6/S6 Edge…

Its very useful in bypass samsung account in too many models.

Its very useful in bypass Google account in too many models.

Its very useful for downgrade in some models.

Its help you to enable usb debugging.

its help to remove any security FRP / Reactivation Lock from Samsung like 2016-2019

You can find Combination Files for Galaxy S8 devices here:

G950U with latest Bootloader: http://www.mediafire.com/file/j8xi2n73zhh37q1/COMBINATION_FA70_G950USQU5ARG4.zip

G950F (currently only for 4x Bootloader): http://www.mediafire.com/file/c37zq...QB19841686_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.rar/file

Here is a Video of Downgrading a Galaxy S6 Edge with Combination File : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOKJcHU1pXM Should work with S8 too
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rilley:
Hello, nice tutorial!

Want to ask:

"Combination files are basically used for testing purposes in the Samsung devices. These files are there to make sure that the functionality of your device is error-free, before making its final release. These files are created by Samsung company and are found in only their devices. "

So only Samsung releases these files to public? or are leaked?

I`m asking to check if I should wait or not, I had V4 bootloader but recently by accident with the latest update I got V5 :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] halloo13:
I would recommend you to wait till the latest Combination File gets public for the G950F/G955F. They do work very good and are also stable. Usually I think Samsung does not public These files online but they get leaked very often. I used the Combination File to Downgrade my S6 from 7.0 with Bootloader 6 to 5.1.1 with Bootloader 2.

Im sorry but I can only explain the function of a Combination Rom along with the Galaxy S6..

Once Cthe latest Combination File is available, do this:

1. Download your Nougat/Oreo Firmware you want to install

2. Download Combination File with the latest Bootloader Version

3. Downlad 7zip, since you Need to edit the firmware you want to install

3b) Extract the firmware you want to install to a new Folder

3c) Delete all files except for boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img and system.img

3d) Open 7zip from your Start Menu and locate the firmware Folder

3e) Mark the remaining files and press the green "Add" Button at the upper left corner and create a tar (Odin Flashable) file

4)Download Odin

5) First uncheck Auto-Reboot

6) Now first Flash the Combination File

7) Afterwards go directly again in Download Mode and Flash the tar- firmware File

8) Reboot your phone and do a wipe

9) Congrats! You now have Stock 7.0/8.0 Back!

Notes: Fingerprintscanner wont work, because it is a part of cm.bin, OTA Updates wont work as well, Dont worry if you see a green text next to the Phone logo while starting it. Thats normal and not an error.

Backup your files before you do that!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] halloo13:
I hope it helped you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rilley:
Yes, many thanks for response!

I guess I will wait until I get the combination of files, but until then I want to switch CSC, found a solution to use THAI sim card, but not sure, if everything goes ok, I guess the new OTA update will be the latest from THAI, there are no changes to get bricked by this method right? ( I will be able to get back to the ROM stock that I have now? )

Any idea if I can downgrade from pie on a S8+ on bootloader 6?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BossBGM:
I've tried this method on my S7 edge but I've stucked on step - deleting files.

After extracting the firmware I get 5 files- Ap, Bl ect.

When i extract the AP file (previously deleting "md5" from the name, and becoming rar file) there are only 3 new files (nothing for delete if i remembering correctly)

Files i need to delete are on other files from extracted firmware.

At the end I finished on unsuccessful flash.

I want to go back to nougat on my S8+ (955f), but i dont want to take risks, so I did flashing on old device with corect firmware.

I'm really mad at Samsung. Battery life become horrible at pie. Thats why I want to go back to nougat or at least oreo.

I will post some videos after day or two how is possible to downgrade android version on some Samsung devices with higher bootloader version. These methods didn't worked for me but may be they will encourage some of you to make possible the downgrade.

I found this if it can help : https://combinationfirmware.com/combination-samsung-galaxy-s8/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Kaloob:
Since you are on bootloader version 1, you don't need the combination files. If you were past version 2 they would be needed.

Once you update to a new bootloader you can't go back to software on the older bootloader without the combination files.

Someone find combination file for Booloader B?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] digheaditya67:
@Snowers96 Are you also facing problems with Bootloader B ? I guess it is version 11 of Bootloader. All my sensors stopped working after I flashed the october update with bootloader B . I did it on 9 April 2021 this year... and then even upgraded to january 2021 update with Booloader B ,but sensors have stopped working since then. Now, I am looking to downgrade without tripping knox.

If i am right combination file is that one which is a combination of those 4 files. I actually extracted those 4 files, kept the required ones (those given here) in one folder and am repacking to tar and see if i can flash them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] digheaditya67:
Ok, I got

Ok I got it, combination files are different, they are made for testing purposes, so they can be used to downgrade firmware without tripping Knox if I am correct. Have to wait then for some time...to fine the combination file
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Snowers96:
Yeah, we need to wait i think.

But my sensors work well for now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] digheaditya67:
That is a good thing for you, I got logs through adb, and something sensor process wasn't able to access some root partition, another thing was that the Iris sensor would start and then immediately give error. And Heart sensor can't be accessed by Samsung Health, but some of its test pass via *#0*# menu. So most likely os error for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] digheaditya67:
I had a silly doubt.... I got a combination File of bootloader B but for Galaxy Note 8, now except the ram size, and the additional camera on Galaxy Note 8, everything else in S8 remains the same.

So I was thinking if i can use that combination firmware to install and downgrade my s8 ... But seems a lot risky especially I shall not hard brick it. I guess people have ported ROMs too, I will check that once. But Odin(one inside phone ) and all depends upon it if I am right ?. Most Probbably Odin wont even flash it due to difference in model numbers, and using modded odin could be dangerous.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] digheaditya67:
I guess it would even trip KNOX, so have to weight for Binary 11 of S8 combination file
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Snowers96:
Where you get that combination file?
