[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joeymantia:
I have a Galaxy Note 8 from Xfinity Mobile that I'm trying to flash T-mobile firmware onto. Here are the issues:

Once upon a time I was using this phone as a home remote with no sim in it on airplane mode and made a random gmail account to set it up. It has been sitting in a drawer dead for 6 months, so without even thinking, the first thing I did was a factory data wipe only to be greeted by the FRP. I have no idea what the email was that I used to set up this phone (i remember making one that was along the lines of 'homephoneremote@gmail' but can't remember it exactly) and apparently did not use my real email or phone number as a backup. So the first issue is, I can't even get into the phone to see the current boot loader, or firmware version on it. Nor can I get far enough to even use a carrier unlock code (which i assume I'll need, but won't be a problem getting from xfinity).

Is there any way possible that given the current situation I can switch this device to tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joeymantia:
never mind, by some divine miracle (and after exhausting every other possible solution i could think of) i remembered the email used
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] menphis:
My Samsung S10e lost the IMEIs and was able to recover them using the chimera tool, but a patch should be made in the certificates and it works excellent with the original rom, but when trying to install a custom rom it is in "emergency call only".

Any way to back up the certificates to use any custom rom?

I can't install any without running out without running out of signal.

Please help.

Thank you

Hi guys,

I have been using Xiaomi phone for at least awhile and understand that there are certain benefits in moving to global roms. Things like inconsistent notifications, no bloatware, etc.. were all fixed.

I’m interested in getting a Blackshark 3 but I’m thinking is there any benefit to wait for the global release? Or flashing to the global rom when available? I understand that by unlocking the boot loader will also make Google pay now work.

Thank you for your response in advance.

So I just got my Note10+. I came from a S10+ and I'm loving it minus one thing. App notifications seem to stop at the camera and not go to the other side. Moving the clock to the other side helps, but it feels like a huge waste of space.

Does anyone know of a way to utilize both sides? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I never tried as I assumed that was a display limit. Oblnce you fill that space, u think there is a dot right by the camera to indicate more notifications. I will poke around to see olidni can change.

Hi everyone,

Just built my first Android app, DiffFinder: File Comparison Tool, and am looking for feedback!

App Link:play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=difffinder.lite.application

DiffFinder highlights the differences between two versions of a file (plain text, Docx, or PDF) or two versions of inputted text. It has the following features:

• Clean and intuitive user interface

• Lists the number of additions + removals made to the original file

• Adjustable colors for addition and removal highlights

• Adjustable font size

DiffFinder is an ideal utility for those who edit documents frequently and forget what document they have saved as v1, v2, etc. It is also ideal for developers and software engineers to check changes in their code.

If you enjoyed using DiffFinder, spreading the word through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. would be greatly appreciated . And if you have any comments on how to improve my app, you're more than welcome to post it below.

Best Regards,

Henry Zhu
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ahsan3803:
Hi respected members, I'm new here and I need your valuable assistance .

I bought S8+ and when I checked the model version in software it is showing SM-G9550 which is Chinese version not Hong Kong, but on the back of phone G955U is mentioned. For more confirmation I compared the IMEI and serial number which are mentioned on the back of phone and also showing in software information in about phone. IMEI and SN are same in about phone and on back side of phone. I also checked the carrier in downloading mode (after pressing Volume down + Bixby + Power Buttons) and carrier is VZW which is Verizon if I'm not wrong.

I'm foreigner in China and current Chinese version is creating problem in phone that no any update (current is 7.0) for my S8+ software and the latest security patch is 2017, some APPs like Facebook and Whatsapp don't show any notification etc.

I already used Hong Kong firmware in my GalaxyS7 Edge which works perfect and also have Google APPs, but Chinese version don't have Google APPs, and there is no any play store library. To solve this problem, I tried to install Hong Kong based firmware (9.0) but Odin shows error that can't create partition, after reading about this problem it seems that firmware is not compatible with current hardware.

So I want to ask these questions!

1: How I can install Hong Kong firmware in current situation or if I install G955U then will it work in China? and from where I can get unlocked firmware because I'm unable to find unlocked firmware. Reference (https://firmwarex.net/samsung-s8-sm-g955u-9-0-official-firmware/), from this link which will work in my phone?

2: If I used PIT file to install Hong Kong version then is there any security problem or my phone will work well?

3: I'm unable to find PIT file for my current problem. I also need PIT file if first option will not work.

Sorry for too long explanation.

Need your kind suggestions. Thanking you in anticipation.

My problem is seems to be same as https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/help/g955u-using-g9550-firmware-t3766862
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ahsan3803:
Problem solved

I have solved my problem. As mentioned in my question G955U model is using G9550 because processor is same but RAM and storage is different.

I downloaded G955U1 from SamFirm and installed it. Working fine now.

I used this phone in China and Pakistan. The main problem in G9550 I was facing, it was 4G signals strength that were very weak in China and 3G was not working but in Pakistan 3G was working fine but no 4G signal on same phone. May be that was due to different bands. But now after installing G955U1 the LTE signal strength is very strong even better than iPhone X.

Still I'm searching about it that how anyone installed G9550 in G955U as I also tried latest G9550 on same phone but I was failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
These guys will cross match the csc files to include carrier features for other country's. You can't out right install the 9550 firmware but can add bits of the csc to it. I've seen a bunch of "mutt" frankensteined devices. But don't like to get involved because stuff can go wrong real quick
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ahsan3803:
Agree with you. I want to add bit more that G955U is 4GB RAM and 64GB Storage but G9550 is 6GB and 128GB. Obliviously firmware check the right configuration. As per my knowledge that we need to provide right BL (Boot loader) file. I mean BL file from G955U but other files from G9550. May be I'm wrong because I didn't try for it. This combination will work?

i have a similar problem too. i have a sm-g995u, i know because it is written on the back of the phone and also in the software info menu. however when i get into the AP and CSC values it says my phone is sm-9550. im currently suffering from poor network and i've currently lost signal. i mean my phone has been displaying "no service" for the past 2 days. I'm currently considering flashing another firmware but scared not to brick my device since i am a newbie with all this stuff.

my device is originally a g995u, if i flash a g995u1 firmware would it work?

what g995u1 firmware did you flash? i need help asap, ive been offline for a while because of "no signal" problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ahsan3803:
Yes you can install G995U1 in your phone. In my case I was also facing poor network issue, no phone call history and no live location for maps but after installing the G955U1, everything is working fine.

thanks man. i was able to flash the G995u1 firmware. However, my problem still remains, i still have no access to network. i cant seem to toggle or change network mode. its stuck on LTE/3G/2G, i suspect when i was on the road the connection to the lte was lost and failed to switch to the 3G. i see alot of people have similar issues.

i sincerely hope it is not a hardware issue like a roasted network chip:(:(...

i just bought this device mehnnnn........ i cant believe im gonna have to sell my damn s8+ as some scrap phone.. Goddamnit
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ahsan3803:
It seems that there is problem with your network chip but yeah you should make sure that your phone hardware is based on G955U. G955U (USA version) and G9550 (Chinese or HongKong version) have same processor. As I already told you that my phone hardware was G955U (Verizon version) but G9550 firmware was installed because I bought it from China. I was facing many problems like slow speed, no live tracking of location using any navigation app, no call history and poor network coverage. After checking the phone I came to know that originally phone is G955U, you should also double check your phone version especially in downloading mode. After all I installed G955U1 (unlocked version) then everything works well. If your problem is same then G955U1 should work well. I installed Android 9 version.

Furthermore if you will try to install other versions like F (Global version) then obviously you will face other problems too.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ToshinoKyoko:
I tried to root my Oneplus 7 Pro with LineageOS 16 using Magisk

I flashed the Magisk zip file with TWRP but after booting into my phone, I couldn't connect to WiFi (like, it would appear that the WiFi was turned off but if I tried to turn it on it simply wouldn't) so I read somewhere that I needed to flash an stock OS img as boot on TWRP and flash Magisk again

After downloading an recovery img of lineageOS for the phone I went to TWRP. I had to perform a Cache/Davilk wipe since I couldn't find my files, but after doing so and booting into TWRP again, I could find the files for the img and the Magisk zip file.

I flashed the LineageOS img as boot and flashed Magisk zip file again and rebooted, but the phone went into a bootloop, so I had to perform a factory reset (gladly I had nothing to lose)

Am I doing something wrong? How can I have the WiFi again after rooting? (My phone is currently unrooted but I wanna try again later)

I have been using my Zenfone 2 Laser (Z00L) for quite a while now. Recently, it just froze up and doesn't respond even when I press the power button for a long time. So I decided to just take out the battery to restart it. But now it only goes up to the Asus logo then restarts again.

I have already tried to completely wipe everything in TWRP and have also tried to flash a new ROM. Right now, the ROM I have installed is AospExtended ROM v6.7 and I was able to get into the home screen while the phone is connected to a charger, but immediately restarts and goes to the boot loop when I unplugged.
