On the latest 9 update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Yes. I found a similar baseband version of UK and flashed to my Ireland device.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

This is Oreo right before update to 9 for Mexico telcel.

Odin 3.14 is recommended

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
By the "latest 9 update" I meant did you downgrade to 8 from the latest Pie/9 update? Because i'm pretty sure Samsung released an update not allowing bootloader downgrades.

Yes...but I flashed the Oreo version right before the firmware update to the first pie. Look at sammobile link I posted. U will see
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
This is mine that I flashed. I was on 9. See right before first pie update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
Dude, I couldn't even flash Australia 9.0 firmware without an error saying I cannot downgrade the bootloader...

So I highly doubt I'll be able to downgrade to Oreo.

We can Twitter max Lee ... he could help
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I already returned the phone tho :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Which region u get this time?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I don't know if i'm going to even get another Galaxy S8, Samsung phones are too locked down :(

I bought the Exynos International model so I could unlock the bootloader and root, but it seems like this isn't the case :mad:

On Samsung you have to worry about RMM/KG state, Knox being tripped, the FRP lock, Locked bootloader, etc. etc.

While every other phone all you have to worry about is the Locked bootloader which you can easily unlock via fastboot. Samsung phones have so many locks that their just not worth buying anymore. :crying:

I'm thinking about getting a Google Pixel 3 or another phone that I can actually root. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Note 6 and down...and s7 and down are easy to root
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I would rather get the Pixel 3 :p

Even if you do get a bootloader-unlockable Samsung phone you still have to worry about a bunch of garbage locks :mad:

Plus, I have Verizon (Total Wireless) service, I just bought that S8 to root and to try out a Samsung flagship. (Although it's three years old)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Not with the phones I mentioned
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
Well those are older and don't get updates anymore :p

I don't know, I guess I could try one of the phones you mentioned but I am probably going to get a Pixel/OnePlus as those are the easiest/best for rooting/Custom ROMs.

I'm just so mad that I bought an international exynos S8 so I could root it and I couldn't even get past the RMM state lock. Even after waiting 7 days! :mad:

It's really sad to see the way Samsung and Android are going, you have to buy an old phone if you wan't root on Samsung! Or get lucky and have a GSM carrier, an Exynos international model, and the right reigon to be able to unlock the bootloader and root! :eek:

It just really sucks and I am so sick of these carriers/manufacturers locking down our phones with garbage locks. :mad: :(

Even with other phones that are CDMA/GSM unlocked (like the OnePlus/Pixel) carriers think they need to take them, lock the bootloader, and install all their crap bloatware that no one uses! When "you" buy a phone "you" should be able to do what you want with it. The reality is when you buy a phone you only own the hardware that is capable of using their software. That's it! :mad:

It's just so ridiculous!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
I totally hear ya. The T-Mobile note 3 is dope though. I have had this phone for over 5 years and I'm on Android q. This phone always has development going for it.

I made a thread on here asking people which regions of the phones that was able to obtain root after 7 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
Wow! I'm surprised a phone that old still gets development :)

Exactly my point, Samsung is locking their phones down so much that people buy old ones! It's really just dumb. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Just found that I can flash combo firmware and flash twrp that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
I think I did a boo-boo. I didn't have an active SIM card in the phone and waiting 7 days...ugh... I am just going to put my SIM card in it and wait the 7 days again. Did you have your SIM card in yours while waiting for the 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I don't have a GSM SIM card as I have Verizon service, I simply bought the phone to root and to try out a Samsung flagship..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Odd thing is, oem says unlocked but kg is pre normal. Earlier it said kg checking and oem lock off and still couldn't flash twrp

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

You want to hear another funny thing? whenever I access download mode to view anything my phone stops working correctly. I mean it boots into Android and all, but the sound settings keep messing up and it lags a little bit. Odd. I have to access recovery and clear cache, and sometimes hafta factory reset. I think who had this phone did something to it. Issues get fixed with a fresh stock Odin flash, but get awry when I boot to download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Did u try cF auto root when kg was at checking?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
I was also brainstorming last night. What if I wait 7 days for the rmm to be normal and then set back the clock 8 days instead of 7. I wonder if that will work. Did u maybe try that as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] chrisnice906:
Have u heard of the magic box? Did u try that by chance?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ITMASTER:
I have an strange situation I can see OEM unlock from developer menu end toggle it ON and meanwhile in download mode RRM state is "prenormal" how that can be ? and always getting Fail when trying to flash twrp with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hasson hmdan:
Please help me with the same problem😣💔💔
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] imagetm:
There is no help if you have Android 10 with the latest version of bootloader. Prenormal state, will be forever. I heard that samsungi M-series are different. Maybe this is the solution if you want to have root or non-genuine soft on a perfect device. Sorry.. 😔

I've done all that, it just doesn't work, the mi unlocker just tells me to set mi unlock status even though I've already done that, I guess I'll reset the phone or something before trying again.

dude .. if you done ✅ it then just connect your phone to the pc mi bootloader unlock tool .. if the miui unlock status unlocked he will give an time perhaps 168 hours then everything it's good and wait till that

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Dim)On:
Any news, guys? I have exactly the same situation! Requests linking, and the phone is already linked...

Who knows exactly when the firmware will be released for India?

They say like "India" (firmware) has already been released under the name of the model Redmi 9 Prime... It's true? I can't find any information about this...
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Dim)On:
Redmi 9 (NFC): Please add your account in MIUI settings> Developer options> Mi unlock

Today I rewrote detailed information on this situation (with the problem of unlocking Redmi 9 NFC), sent it by e-mail to the xiaomi support address: service.global@xiaomi.com:

We ask you to do the same! I ask personally - absolutely everyone, without exception, who is not indifferent to this problem, write to them in the same way:

Hello!

I, like a large number of users of the Redmi 9 nfc device, cannot complete the bootloader unlock process due to the error:

"Please add your account in MIUI settings> Developer options> Mi unlock status" (although this step has already been done and after I was unable to unlock the bootloader, I logged out of my account and logged in to my account again and tried to unlock bootloader again):

As for the rest of the unlocking steps, I followed them all:

As a result of an attempt to unlock the bootloader, the MiUnlock program offers to bind the device, although the device was previously tied to an account. To fix this problem, I also logged out of my account and then logged back in to my account and tried to unlock the bootloader again - that didn't work either.

This problem is seen by many Redmi 9 nfc users! Not only can I not unlock the bootloader but many other users of this phone (Redmi 9 nfc) too !!!

Please, solve the problem with unlocking the bootloader on Redmi 9 nfc (there are no problems with unlocking on Redmi 9 model without nfc)!

Postscript: Solve this problem, since a large number of people want to solve this problem (many have sent Redmi 9 nfc back to the place of purchase) and the question arises: - is it worth buying this problematic model at all!?

People are asking me to do a video review of this problem and post it on a big popular YouTube channel. And, apparently, this will need to be done so that other people do not face this problem.

Respectfully!

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Kiwironic:
Tips

Few points to make and please read carefully:

The steps mentioned in one of the replys is for Snapdragon devices ONLY, do NOT use it for any mediatek device please

DO NOT try to install TWRP on Mediatek devices, you can still rootvery easily without TWRP, just follow this guide

[Guide][Root] The easiest way to root without TWRP

Another more specific guide can be found here

There is no way to get to fastboot if you brick or your device gets stuck in a loop if it is a Mediatek device, so be very careful and double check before following any guides.

Unlocking the device can be done officially and is recommended to do it this way, it can take some time sadly but it is doable, sometimes changing the computer or unlock tool version works, but you will have to wait the "xxx" hours it asks you to wait before unlocking, trying to go around this might reset the hours needed.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

VERY IMPORTANT:

DO NOT follow this guide: Link to the guide

This will only work if your ROM is the same as the ROM the author of the Guide wrote, you can get lucky but once your phone is updated, DO NOT do it again.

Make sure you ask which version of the ROM the patched boot image file belongs to, and make sure it matches your ROM version.

Next was trying by using magisk with the patched boot.img like the usual way, but that also doesn't worked. Only Thing you geht ist a bootloop?.

Hi! I tried to replace the battery but... Mi 8 pro battery(bm3f) has the connector in landscape mode, but mi 8 battery(bm3e) has the connector in portrait... Its difficult to blend the cable to change direction. The cable in mi 8 comes from the right of the battery and in mi 8 pro from the left. I tried to connect the battery and the device started but the battery went down very quick... It started in 52 and in less than 5 min it was 46.. Strange... I can see different voltages between the 2 batteries maybe this is the reason of the quick discharge...
