[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] NetVlad2009:
Hello everyone.

I want to go from PartCyborgRom to stock S8+ (Or maybe to flash a better rom if one exists for this damn AT&t device)

I know he mentioned his ROM updated the bootloader to v2 so I can't just flash what I had before.

Hoping some intelligent kind soul can help me avoid crushing mistakes.

My soecs:

Samsung Galaxy S8+

SM-G955U

Android 7.0

Baseband G955USQU1AQK1

Build NRD90M-G955USQS2BQL1

Any advise is appreciated thank you.

It's there a fix?

There is no file anywhere on the system named DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Fascinating assertion. Did you happen to look in /system/priv-app/ ?

Fully qualified fid: /system/priv-app/devicesoftwareota.apk
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmazak:
Try search with this line

adb shell pm list packages -f | find "OTA"
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Possible whatever tool/technique/hack you used to block updates erased/renamed DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk. Which is the proper technique.

Unfortunately, many hacks take a shotgun approach and discard, rename or change permissions on numerous other files which often bring side effects such as those you reported.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottIsMyName:
I will try again when I get home, but the command I listed above should have found it.

The only thing I did was follow the root procedures to root and unlock the bootloader. Perhaps one of those zips I flashed wiped the file. Indeed possible.

Edit: Looking at the update-binary script inside the "finalize.zip" file, it does indeed remove this already. Sorry for the confusion!

ui_print "Remove OTA apps"
rm -rf /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA
rm -rf /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts
rm -rf /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTAIdleOverride
rm -rf /system/priv-app/com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
# Not sure what this does but it spams logcat with errors so off it goes
rm -rf /system/priv-app/com.amazon.precog
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Also goes after three other items (why?) that are unnecessary to block OTA updates. Obliterating DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts is the likely culprit given reported symptoms.

Missing DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk is a non-issue other than not having a convenient fallback should you wish to resume receiving updates. Best practice is to move or rename system files vs deleting.

As pointed out in the recent XDA article and in the Pixel 4 product page, there is a footnote that says "Dual Band (L1+L5) or (E1 +E5a). Support - coming soon". What does that mean?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GraphicHealer:
WARNING: Little bit of a rant on my part. Been watching this happen for the last year or so.

WHY does no one understand that the second screen is NOT a notch? Its function is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

PLEASE don't tell us "The second screen is working!" when it is set as a notch. THAT'S NOT WORKING.

The whole point of the second screen is for it to act as the notification light on other phones, but better, because it doubles as an ALWAYS ON display.

If it's set as a notch, it's not ALWAYS ON. If I wanted a notch, I would get a pixel 3, or heck, even an IPHONE. (no! never! how could he say that?)

PLEASE fix your posts everyone. Tell us AT LEAST that it's PARTIALLY working. That would clear it up. I don't want people to say: "Yay! Second screen! Let me render my phone useless for the next week to get this new ROM! Wait, WHAT!? It doesn't work!? AUUGGHH!" And waste their time and sometimes lose their data just trying the "working" ROM.

P.S: Don't tell me Im overreacting. I mean this to be a rant. Not a personal statement against anyone. Please don't accuse me of this. This is just me trying to get my point across.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ID000001:
Wait a second, let me try and clear up something here:

I thought "always-on display with a notch on an LCD" and "LG V20's second screen" is the same thing. Because LG V20's "second screen" isn't actually a second tiny screen. It is the same LCD as the rest of the panel. Which means whenever it is set to always-on, it might as well lite the rest of the LCD since it consumes the same amount of energy.

I can understand that LG V20's implementation of second screen also aid navigation since it scrolls independently. However, as far as notification goes. The function between "always-on display with a notch on an LCD" and "LG V20's second screen" basically does the same thing, no?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GraphicHealer:
No. Its not that. LG has a second separate backlight section that lights the "notch" separately, allowing it to use practically no battery, yet still act as the "notification light" for this phone.

Edit: This phone has no other way of letting you know that you have notifications when the screen is off. That's why I have remained on stock this whole time. Heck, I'm even using it right now.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Dlions:
Hey if you want the V20's Second screen to work go back to stock. Why cant You just say thanks for all the hard work that's been put into development for the V20?

And BTW it clearly says the V20's Second Screen is now a defined notch that allows it to be active in the LOS 16 thread. I thinks there was some development for the second screen back in LOS 15.1 so u could look there.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dornz:
Never tried that, set screen as notch ,
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GraphicHealer:
I already know this. Did you not read my P.S. statement? Im not saying they didnt work hard. Im not giving anyone a bad rap. Im saying thats not a working second screen. They did work hard. They deserve the praise of even getting LOS to work on this phone AT ALL. Ive just barely gotten into the android hacking space, and I still dont understand fully how these custom roms work. All im saying is that without the AOD functionality of the second screen, you loose a HUGE feature that most people use on a day to day basis.

P.S: Ive even tried the second screen functionality in LOS 15.1. Its buggy and rather odd looking, without any of the crisp, clean interface like LG implemented. Id rather stay with stock for now.

Edit: It also still didn't have the AOD functionality. So, no custom roms for me.

AOD = Always On Display
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ID000001:
Wait a second, where did you get this information from? This is the first time I heard of LG V20 having separate backlight between the main screen and second screen. Also in my own individual testing, I was not able to conclusively test that the main screen backlight and the second screen backlight are separate. Can you provide some evidence on this?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GraphicHealer:
If you have a v20, just turn the screen off and look at it. If you turn the lights off in a room or cup your hand over it, you can see where the backlight from the second screen bleeds over into the main part of the screen. I have also been following the development of the custom widget support, and they have discussed the separate backlight there.

Also, the phone uses an LCD. You cant have anything displaying without having a backlight on. When you first turn the phone on, you know how for a second or so, the screen lights up but still looks black? That's the backlight turning on before the LCD layer has anything to display. If the backlight was not seperate, that is what the screen would look like with the second screen on and the phone asleep.

I hope this explains it for you and gives you some evidence for why it needs the seperate backlight.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ID000001:
What you said does appear to be true. Which means the LG V20 is better designed than I gave it credit for. I always wondered why the AOD on an LCD screen still has decent battery and never had any conclusive evidence that the back-lights are separated. Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lebatman:
Yes, exactly, finally a rant that expresses my frustration.

All due respect, and gratitude to different ROMs and the guys who work hard to make them; but the reason I haven't jumped to LOS 16 is that the second screen doesn't perform the functions that I bought the phone for- taskbar + quick contacts + quick settings (and others). And when LOS uses that space it earmarks all of the 100x1080pixels to a massive notification bar. Who wants that? It's a waste of all that space.

Obviously the modders aren't to blame for this, but LG. However it seems far fewer people here seem to care for that compared to people I've interacted with outside.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GraphicHealer:
[MENTION=6564491]ID000001[/MENTION] Your welcome. Honestly, LG was actually pretty brilliant when they designed this.

[MENTION=4651107]Lebatman[/MENTION] I know, right? I have set this phone up for my dad, my Grandparents, and a couple friends, and they all love the second screen. Its one of the first phones where you could just look at the screen and go, "Oh. Its a message from my game. Just ignore it" or "Oh! I got a text! I need to check that!" This didn't come back to phones until the AOD on galaxy phones with the OLED screens. I love it. Its cheaper than a Samsung phone. You still cant get even a galaxy S5 for cheaper than the V20.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ssunstone:
Hi All

Owning a Vario III and using Hardspl I upgraded to the latest incarnation of HTC's ROM (WM6.1). Having been caughtout with the freezing issue and after reading some posts about removing Hardspl I began to do so.

After reading the Idiots guide which stated :

'2. Flash the OEM ROM to your device (this will restore your OS but not the bootloader, we'll get to that below)'

I couldnt locate a proper T-mobile Wm6.0 ROM so thought as I'm just getting rid of the Hardspl I'd use the standard HTC ROM WM6.0 which went on fine.

This allowed to rid my phone of the HARDSPL.

I was then getting the Vender ID error when trying to load the new WM6.1 HTC ROM (which of course I would get as HARDSPL had been removed).

I then thought sod it and Ran SSPL-KAIS.exe and then began to run the latest HTC ROM. It started fine but bombed out at 15% and then I was left with a Tri-color screen and the message below :

In the Upper right hand corner it says RUUNBH

On the left side a little lower it says

KAIS1*0

SPL-1.56.0000

CPLD-8

At the bottom of the screen if I have USB plugged in it says USB, if nothing is plugged in it says Serial.

I cant seem to run MTTY 1.16 or 1.42 as I'm using Vista and the processes are slightly different (though I stopped what I thought were the relating ones to no affect)

Anyone on this awesome forum got any bright ideas as to how I can resurrect this one ?

btw : if I/we do manage to fix this one, do you think it will be possible to a) have a copy of the OEM T-mobile ROM ?? b) still upgrade to latest Wm6.1 ROM without the need for Hardspl ??

Cheers all

Steve:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
RUUNBH errors are from incomplete flag clearing after a flash. All that is needed is MTTY, 1.42 is best, & a few commands.

The first command is:

cmd>set 16 0

The second based on what SPL you now have (1.56) is:

cmd>boot

For use with Vista, you'll need to follow the dirsections used to flash via vista, & roll back the USB drivers. Do a search for Flashing with mtty and vista in google.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ssunstone:
FANTASTIC !!!

Many many thanks for your prompt help !. Magic.

Im back up and running thanks to you brilliant help .

Do you think its worth trying again to Flash the phone using SSPL-KAIS and the latest HTC ROM ? or do u think I should quit whilst I'm back up and running ?

Alternatively, is there a way for me to sidestep the T-mobile lock without using HardSPL ?

Apologies for the questions, but after reading the many many posts on this, my brain is deffo boggled !!

Big thanks

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] AstroDigital:
With the OnePlus 7T Pro coming soon.

Our device was released 6 months ago and to me it seems insane, for just a minor update.

But I wonder if some people do upgrade every six months.

I know it is a little sad and irritating not to have latest device, but really even if I had an extra $500 because every six months I doubt I notice any difference.

It would be a net $500 because I can sell my current device even still with such a minor update I can wait.

Smart phones you can never have that new device feeling long.... next week there will be something just a bit newer and faster.
