[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zephirop:
I have an unlocked S8 from ATT currently on T-Mobile with Android Version 7, i would like to upgrade to 9 but the CSC version for ATT doesn't seem to be available in updato or SamMobile, for some reason the ATT CSC its only available in samsung version SM-G950U1 but my device apparently its SM-G950U. Not sure what to do I'm new at this and don't want to brick my phone any further assistance its gladly appreciate it ! happy V-DAY ~~
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
You can download any of the firmware. Use the oyn part csc. It will auto personalize off your att sim. The firmware are multi carrier now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zephirop:
thank you for the fast response what is the "Oyn Part ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
When you download any firmware it will have a home csc and a regular. I call that one the oyn.

I have a xfinity mobile s8. I swapped to cricket. Just like att firmware is nearly unheard of. Specially on bit 7. So I flashed the multi oyn csc and inserted my cricket sim. The phone reboots and will automatically personalize with all the cricket bloat ware all the cricket settings. Despite not having a cricket firmware released at the time. All the g950u s are the same hardware so you can safely flash any g950u firmware any carrier as long as in the build number 5th digit from far end matches. Like mines a 7. So 5th digit from far end in build must be a 7 or greater
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zephirop:
So in this case i just need to download a T-Mobile firmware and flash using Odin ? as long as is for the same model number should work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yea g950u and what ever bit number. Tmobile was the original so probably best but dont matter
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zephirop:
It seems that my build number 5th digit from the far end >> its 1

this phone was originally AT&T but has been factory unlocked i'm currently using it on Tmobile with no issues. I'm going to try with Tmobile firmware and odin and will give it a try hoping for the best :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
If you stay on 1 then it's super easy if you ever want root your phones pretty much never been updated then
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zephirop:
thank you for the assistance and your fast responses i appreciate your help !!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
No problem mate. I dont have anything better to do. ???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
How did it turn out mate?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zephirop:
It turned out great i downloaded latest tmobile firmware flashed with Odin like butter !! Seems all of the tmobile features work fine. Thanks a lot you made what i thought would be a sketchy process into an ease. Are all new samsung devices multi csc ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
pretty much

as long as its unlocked properly just pop what ever US carrier sim in and go it should repersonlize every time
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zumaka:
Similar - I have Oreo but I can't get Pie.

I have an unlocked Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U) and I'm using it on an Indian carrier. I can't get OTA updates since I don't have an AT&T sim. I checked SamMobile for firmware updates but couldn't find one for SM-G950U. I want to update to Pie and get One UI features but I couldn't. What should I do?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
Hello.yesterday i tried to root my OnePlus 7 pro.i unlocked the bootloader first and then I have installed the twrp on slot a and slot b.then I have installed magisk,from this moment the WiFi on my phone stopped working.(when I am turning them on the automatically turned off)I tried again to flash stock ROM and twrp but when I install magisk I had the same problem.Then somehow I accidentally bricked the phone and today I have the stock ROM with unlocked bootloader and I need your help to root.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] HermitDash:
You my friend need to learn how to write clearly xD.

Continuing where you left off this is how you achieve root with Magisk:

1.Boot into the bootloader

2. Using cmd (I assume you installed ADB drivers and fast boot drivers already if not Youtube a guide) use the following command:

fastboot boot <twrp image file here>

once you're in TWRP you can flash the TWRP install ZIP.

Once you're done with that Reboot -> Recovery.

3. Flash Magisk and you're done.

I doubt you're really bricked. Since you have the bootloader unlocked just do the button combo to get into recovery or the bootloader.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
Thats the method i did.the real problem is the magisk.are there stable or better magisk versions?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
The phone now is stock and unrooted
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] HermitDash:
20.3 is the latest version and works perfectly fine on mine

o.o

How is it not stable?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
I dont know if i did something wrong.the only difference from HermitDash method is that this comand (fastboot boot <twrp image file here>) not worked for me so i used this

fastboot flash boot_a path-to-twrp.img" and this fastboot flash boot_b path-to-twrp.img"
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] c3drik 67:
Can you Share a screen capture of your twrp file and your fastboot command
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
I will try again later and post screenshots
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] amaroney55:
Dont understand.

I dont understand why they say after you boot into twrp from fastboot to reflash twrp.zip file in twrp. I never do and it still works the same. And when you do flash the twrp.zip it says your now unrooted flash magisk. And when you flash magisk it actually then unroots magisk. The best way to root the oneplus 7 pro is using payload extractor and patching the boot.img with magisk. and booting magiskpatched.img then after installing the magisk manager go to modules and flash twrp from there. alot easier.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
Can you explain this easier method you said here to try it as i am a noob?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GeekMcLeod:
Okay, new to this thread. Where are you at right now? Booting? Which OS, TWRP, Magisk versions?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
I am at 10.3 stock rom without root and twrp(just unlocked bootloader)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dexterboy1106:
I am on the same version what I did was find the patched boot image with magisk for Android 10 flashed it using adb then installed magisk manager and I had root.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-twrp-install-t3940368

Follow this guide and you won't need to use the patched boot,img file. I've never liked using the patched boot img.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] panagiwtis90:
Thank you GeekMcLeod your method worked
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] HermitDash:
It's just easier than having to manually extract the boot.img

fastboot boot twrp is just to get twrp up and running then flashing the script actually installs it.

Yes it does say that it'll unroot you but for those that are unrooted already this step doesn't do anything.

After flashing you reboot TWRP so it works fresh post-script.

Then install magisk as usual and reboot to system done.

This is if you want both TWRP and Magisk all done at the same time vs booting the boot.img installing Magisk then installing TWRP where I can have it all done within TWRP which is the usual route people take to get to root.

My comment below in red font:

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

You did it wrong. Those two command do completely different things. So the difference in commands is a big one.

As I mentioned above, fastboot

boot

TWRP.img just remotely boots a temporary (one time) instance of a boot.img that has been patched to include TWRP. Then the correct way to install TWRP to the phone is (from the temporary booted TWRP) flash the TWRP installer zip, which properly extracts your phone's boot.img partition, patches it to install TWRP, then installs the modified boot.img back to the phone.

Fastboot

flash boot

TWRP.img does something completely different. It flashes the img to the boot partition. "Flash" is the action in this case, and "boot" is the location (not the action). The TWRP img is not meant to be installed to the phone. Don't know for sure, but I highly suspect that boot.img has some differences depending on your 7 Pro model. So when folks incorrectly flash TWRP.img, they are replacing the phone's kernel and breaking WiFi, and sometimes cell network and/or Bluetooth. Again, the correct way to install TWRP is to use the installer zip (as described in the previous paragraph) which properly takes your phones specific boot.img and patches it.

What folks should understand, is that A/B partition devices (like the 7 Pro) do not have a discrete recovery partition. Recovery is part of the boot partition, which also contains the kernel. So by doing "flash boot" you are messing with the kernel in ways you should not, and therefore results like broken WiFi is not surprising.

Magisk if fine. Your issues are due to pilot error, as I've described above.

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] skalnas:
I tried the android 10 system image on my moto g7 power. I tried wiping system and installing the system image in twrp.

Phone kept bootlooping. Ended up trying to restore my backup via twrp but data would not restore,and I ended up in a twrp bootloop. Eventually I somehow hardbricked the device. Luckily I was able to find a blankflash to restore the phone to fastboot and I used rsdlite to reflash fw. Maybe I should have wiped everything, not just sytem, but I'm not willing to risk trying again.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] 71evin:
Same to me with the difference I wiped all. But I don't pretend to be a guru of the phone's firmwares so it might be I did it wrong.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] robson_89:
Maybe it's not a good section for this thread, it's more like Q&A.

It's possible to flash Android 10 GSI, but it wasn't ready for a daily driver.

What was working:

-booting

-screen

-audio

-connecting to 4G network

what wasn't:

-connecting to wifi

-receiving SMS on 4G network

I did not test rest of it.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] Rondeau79:
Just wait a little while longer. The official stock upgrade will be released and Android 10 custom ROMs will be developed.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] flash713:
ut

Here are some notes about Android 10 gsi and Moto G7 power from the main developer. I believe there's a flashable wifi zip PHH made as a fix for the wifi somewhere on this page: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Moto-G7-Power
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] robson_89:
Yes, I've seen it.

I don't have telegram account nor do I wish to create any, so WiFi patch is not for me.

Besides, it's only applicable when your WiFi works with static IP but not with dhcp.

Mine wasn't working at all.

I'd be curious to hear their reasoning for not doing it. I have my assumptions (battery life impact). If it were to be added, I'd expect they'd probably put up a flashing red warning about the negative(s).

Depending on where you live. Pro Max 256GB is a bit more expensive than S20 Ultra and you get free Buds+ and fast charger. Maybe you live in the US where iPhones are cheaper.

In Europe:

iPhone 11: 800- 850,-

iPhone 11 Pro 64GB: 1100-1150,- 256GB: 1300-1350,-

iPhone 11 Max: 1250,- 256GB 1400,-

S20 4G: 899,-

S20 5G: 999,-

S20+: 1199,-

S20 Ultra: 1349,-

Still I think they're overpriced by 200,- and I think 64GB is not really an option.

If you want flagship specs at a lower price there's One+.

I sent mine back because it kept losing connection on cell and wifi.

Could have been defective, dunno.

And no wireless charging kind of sealed the dealbreaker status.

JMHO

120Hz is going to be a common thing.

My iPad Pro 11" has it and that display is smooth as Teflon.

The XS was brand new when it was released and it spanked it hard.

Even the mighty 11 Pro Max can't top the A12X SOC. A14X is going to be a beast!

I fear that refresh rate wars will start. 240Hz is next.

So even as one day we have a 10Ah graphene pack that can go from 5% to 95% in 5 min or less, full off charger experience is under a day because of mm wave 5G, 8K displays, 16K video capture with no less than 10 microphones for discrete positional array audio, etc. It's gotten ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] roadcabe14:
That will ruin the battery I think
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
According to german website chip.de they got the S20U to run for 12 hours of testing with 60Hz and WQHD+ enabled. After switching to 120Hz on FHD+ the phone lasted around 9 hours of testing so there is a 25% battery efficiency drop in their test. Sadly they did not give any specific information like SoT :( In my opinion it is kind of logical that they need couple months to make the drop as small as possible if the high refresh rate is coming to WQHD+ resolution. They could have just dropped it as Samsung Labs option in the settings and it would be a better move from the marketing point of view.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] kcodya:
What I want is the ability to manually select which apps use 120hz.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] katolink:
So running 120Hz on WQHD+ would theoretically mean even less time than 9 hours. Which means quite a hit on the battery. Imagine S20U lasting about 5-6 hours per day on this mode... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
I came to the same conclusion and for me, us here and Samsung too loosing around 50% of the battery effectivity is a complete no go that is why I understand that they need time to try to optimize that feature to the maximum. On the other hand we do not know how exactly the usage of the phone was in that 12 or 9 hours but that 5000mAh package will not have an easy life.

Maybe Samsung will make an exchange program for the battery like they did with the display on the Fold/Flip. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:

I was thinking about, mainly for the better screen and battery. The mi 9's screen is very dim, even Samsung Galaxy AXXs are better, and the battery is just passable. But the price of the mi 10 seems too high.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] sun_is_shinning:
well, with that around 600-700 bucks pricetag, i will say no...not even close for upgrade from Mi9 to a Mi 10, if you have a older than 2017 "flagship" phone, then i will say yes, for sure is a good update...but from Mi9 to Mi10, no, dont do that, is minimal updates, the bigger one is the cameras and battery, nothing much.

if you want a Mi10, wait like 3 to 4 months and you can buy it from 500, then, sure worth buying it for good.

My personal opinion having a Mi9, i wont update until 2023, only if they die on me, cause the phone is a beast, have everything i need, dont worry even in think of another phone while having this.

So, be aware, Mi 9 to a Mi 10 - DONT! - only if you have too much spare money, or dont know what to do about the money, just buy it.

If you dont have eighter Mi9 or Mi10, just buy the Mi 9, is cheaper, it cost even less than a samsung mid-range (like A70, around the same depending of where you buy it) and its a good phone, it will be "on top of the chain" for much time to come.
