[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] nickdearing88:
Hi everyone. I purchased a OnePlus 8 5G directly from OnePlus, running on the T-Mobile network. After trying to figure out why I didn't receive the T-Mobile 5G SA update (10.5.17.IN55CB), I realized my phone is running the international version of the software. I guess this is because it's factory unlocked but I didn't realize this would limit my access to T-Mobile 5G updates! I never travel internationally and don't really care about an unlocked bootloader, etc. as long as the SIM is unlocked.

Can I manually download and install the T-Mobile software so I will get the 5G SA update (and future T-Mobile OTA updates)?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] 42o247:
i was also wondering if that would make a difference. maybe someone could provide the modem.img from that update, if it changed. flashing the euro modem on the international rom definitely made a difference for me. not really with speed but overall coverage and stability.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
Right now you dont want it. It breaks incoming and outgoing phone calls.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Seems they pulled the update as well
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
Guys I'm on TMO but switched over to global voluntarily. Honestly check out TMO 5G info and you'll find it's not as great as you think. It's the beginning of a software change. Veteran modders know the beginning of updates have a lot of bugs.

If you really want it then get the MSM Tool, downgrade to 10.5.7 and let it upgrade you manually to 10.5.17. then you can get back to global if you'd like with the modem. Happy modding!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] nickdearing88:
Thanks, it sounds like it was premature. I live in a rural area and my main concerns are 1) better (not reliant on LTE) 600Mhz coverage and 2) lower latency.

Do you think the global software line will get an SA update down the road? Are there any other difference between the global and T-Mobile line of software that would affect my coverage performance with LTE or 5G?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
Great question, This is my first OnePlus phone so I can't tell you if and when gonna will get the update. What I have heard of that TMO is rolling out 5G in several layers. This first one is pretty low key but it had some books already. Second and third would be better. I guess check around here to see more about it. If you are absolutely sure you want this update then you can use MSM took to downgrade then just let the TMO servers do the work for you. Happy modding!
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
I would be surprised if the global version got an update for SA 5g. That's TMO specific and OnePlus would have zero care about a specific carrier of all the world's carriers .

There are differences in modems according to TMobile. I can't remember specifics but I think it was carrier aggregation on band 66 ( I don't remember much so I may be way off)
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] nickdearing88:
Yeah, I figured that was unlikely with the global version, although I'm sure carriers across the world will begin deploying SA 5G at some point.

I was going to start a new thread but after you notes about the modem differences, this might relate to another issue I've noticed: When connected to Band 2 (1900 Mhz) with LTE or 5G, I was getting really good speeds (~30Mbps Down/5Mbps Up). Now, when I test using 5G or LTE (by turning off 5G) my speed tests are horrible: ~1Mbps Down/0.7Mbps Up. I have tested with "Smart 5G" on and off, and also removed and reinstalled the SIM card. If I pop the SIM card out and put it back into my Pixel 2, I get 30Mpbs Down/5Mpbs Up with LTE on Band 2. My Pixel 2 was purchased directly from Google and is factory unlocked/direct Google updates.

Do you think this is because of the carrier agg issue you mentioned? In my area Band 4/Band 66 is only used for T-Mobile 2G/3G, to my knowledge. LTE is offered on Bands 2, 12, and 71. 5G NR seems to only be on Band 71 here at present.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Scott:
Josh, not often this happens, but I disagree with what you say here. Normally I agree with everything you post. However, this time I have to disagree.

5G SA is not at all T-Mo specific and is a standardized implementation for carriers should they choose to go that route.

However, OnePlus caring about it is up in the air, lulz!

See here: https://ibasis.com/what-is-5g-sa-nsa/

5G SA means stand alone. This means that the device will only ride on 5G and not aggregate with 4G.

If I am wrong please correct me. Thanks!

I and many others posted that they cannot get the update. Those that did said they had connectivity issues. I suspect that T-Mo pulled the update. I don't know this for fact, however I cannot get the update. T-Mo site says check back after 8/31. That's crazy weird. Others also complain. I think the update is borked hence the lack of wide roll out. . Again, dont know this for fact but just speculating...
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
For sure. I do stand corrected here on SA. I was referring to the specific bands that TMobile uses for SA 5g vs world bands SA 5g but who knows if that's impossible but I, like you, think that OP will not care about it or would screw it up.

As for the modem differences, I was referring to an older post from TMobile on their forums during the 6t launch days so I can't really remember exactly what it was. I think if you searched my posts from way you could find it

Speaking of, I am incredibly disappointed in tmos 5g. I'm lucky to get 20 dl. Are you having any better luck
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Nathan.7118391:
Yeah I think you are right. As soon as it was available it became unavailable. They will roll it out when those bugs are fixed. This is one of the reasons I don't like TMO stock. They are buggy and slow to update. Not to mention all the bloatware.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Scott:
I am EXTREMLEY disappointed

History of my observations...

When I first switched to T-Mobile with the 6T the speeds were great. Well, decent. But around the time the S20 series came out I noticed extreme sluggishness with the 6T. Compared it to the people in the store and there's wer the same. A massive down turn in speed. I suspect it had something to do with the implementation of 5G in the area. It was my guess... Anways, moved back to T-Mobile two months ago and got this phone. The speeds are even worse. So this phone on 5G is just as bad as LTE. I disabled 5G and tested. Same results.

Long story short, T-mobile did something and slowed my connection down.

Your lucky. Very luck. I routinely get 2 to 5 mbs when I am home. In town I dont think I got over 25Mbs. AT&T has the best network in Fargo. 200MBS down on S20U all day!

Hello

i was opening pubg in my BS2 and suddenly the phone turned of and never open again, i tried to long press on VOLUME - and power but no way, changed and pressed VOLUME UP + Power but still same , also connected to charger but the screen doesn't respond, always off.

The only response when i connected it to my laptop and found its driver in device manager as "QUALCOM HS-USB QLOADER 9008 COM 3", i searched about this and found that the phone turned into EDL mode and need to be flashed with full firmware but i don't know which firmware should i download or which flash tool should i use.

my phone was rooted and i really don't know what to do to solve this. even support respond to my message every week and week and they will never help i know.

I have a big hope to get a help from XDA folks and i'd also mention [MENTION=4355701]KM7[/MENTION] as he is active in BS2 things might be he can help me in this matter.

Please check attached images.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] KM7:
Hello bro, sorry to see you in this situation but I don't have BS2 anymore, as I upgraded to BS3Pro recently. You have to try to boot into Fastboot mode. What I've tried last time is disconnecting the USB cable and keep holding down Volume Down button + Power button for at least one whole minute. This might help you, otherwise you will have to send your phone back to get fixed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] soraxd:
Wondering how many out there plan to get the bootloader unlocked Snapdragon edition? It seems the Snapdragon will be 2 generations ahead this year, as the Snapdragon is a model above the S20's while the Exynos processor (which was already inferior) will be the same.

Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Korea, (and South America?) are the regions so far that seem will offer Snapdragon bootloader unlocked Note 20 Ultra's.

still doing my own research on where to buy, anyone else doing this as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I'm going to pass and just get the US SD version from Samsung. Honestly, I haven't flashed a ROM on an Android Phone since the LG G3 days. Android is just too mature and feature full for me to worry about it at this point. I spent waaaaay too much time flashing ROM's lol. Was fun when Android was still very green, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] soraxd:
I definitely feel you. while I'm stubborn to give up root because I like to feel in control of my device, my list of root uses gets slimmer and slimmer each year.

it's basically ad blocker, screenshot Netflix so I can picture message with friends about shows we're all watching, and then 5 other root apps to hide the fact that I have root lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] force70:
FYI the HK and Korean snapdragon versions 5g bands are not compatible with the 5g here in Canada, likely the same applies to the US (don't quote me on that).

this may not matter to some, to others it certainly will.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
Does anyone know of any Snapdragon versions that DO offer compatible 5G bands in the US with Tmo and also have an unlockable bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cezeff:
Purchased the HK version from WondaMobile after being recommended by another user. I cancelled the Korean version due to concerns with bloatware and the single sim. Not interesting rooting, yet it is nice to have the option. I would think the the HK version is the most well round one the available versions if you are looking for an unlocked device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] force70:
if there is such a thing Im buying one, havent seen one so far though.

dont have any info on the latin america version, dont even know yet if it is still snapdragon this year.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nighthawk29:
I'm with you on that one. Last phone I actively installed and played with ROM's was the Note 4. Note 7 we know how that went and Note 8 onward in Canada had locked bootloader so I stopped since Android as you said is more mature now. I miss the ROM's too sometimes but I'm happy with the OS now for the most part that I'm not worried if I can ROM or not either anymore.

I'm just getting the Canadian Note 20 Ultra 512GB and will be happy with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Brava27:
Definitely rooting. I've rooted every single note I've owned. It's become easier and less stressful. Magisk makes it simple.

Viper4android, ad-blocking, changing system emojis, removing volume warnings, disabling or uninstalling apps, backing up and restoring apps, etc.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] soraxd:
I completely forgot volume warning was a thing.... gosh it's been almost a decade since I had to be subjected to one. there's also enabling call recorder, removing camera shutter sound (for non US), and some other ones I take for granted and can't think of right now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] metalb00:
having order the us unlocked version im hoping to a way to unlock the bootloader will become available. i loved roms on my note 3, nexus and nexus 6p. was super disappointed there weren't many ROM options when i had the pixel 3xl

I wouldn't hold your breath. Hasn't happened for the last few Notes I've had.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
I feel you on adblocker. Do any other versions have full USA bands though??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] force70:
our only hope is latin america and I have zero information on it thus far
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kangi26:
The bootloader has been locked down on Samsung Snapdragon devices for quite a few years now and it's very likely that unlocking them in the future will not happen. You would need to purchase a Exynos powered device for that (for now ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] force70:
For USA since the S7 I think, for us in Canada it started on the S8 (our s7 was exynos).

So yeah for an unlocked its either the sub par exynos 990 or a HK, Korean or Brazilian snapdragon.

5g likely not going to be compatible with NA bands..for sure not with Canadian bands on rogers anyway .

This whole 5g thing has thrown a new variable on many of us who generally import our devices, it has definitely screwed up my plans for the Note 20 ultra at any rate

Is HK version best?

For me above + Dual SIM
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] TheUndertaker21:
Looking for the HK version currently have the note 10 plus HK one.

Rooted.

Rooting is a must for me.

Don't want the exynos because it's really bad with battery and doesn't seem like sammy cares for it.

But the ultra is going for 1599 now.

Too much :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] soraxd:
[

I wouldn't be too concerned about 5G, it's mostly marketing hype.

There's 2 types of 5G, the first (millimeter) is ludicrously fast, but if a leaf falls in front of your phone the connection breaks. and you can count on 1 hand the telephone poles (not towers) that have it.

The second more realistic 5G (low band) is near the same speed as LTE.

According to Ookla Speedtest Intelligence, AT&T 5G tests on Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G phones averaged 78.21Mbps down, while LTE tests on the same model of phone averaged 70.47Mbps down.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] McGooley:
Yeah I messed up, bad. So I'll give as much info as I can. First off I am incredibly newbie at all this. I have a samsung galaxy j7 sm-j700p (j7ltespr) through virgin mobile. I originally had my phone rooted with the most recent version of magisk, and twrp. I attempted flashing smalipatcher and got stuck in a bootloop. I first tried recovering my backup, but was still stuck in a bootloop. My dumbass then went into twrp and did an advanced wipe ticking all boxes, thinking this would fix my issue. Whole OS gone. So I tried using Odin to flash stock firmware and everyone I tried failed. After that I tried flashing lineage but got a kernel is not seandroid enforcing error or something like that. So I'm lost at this point, I've been up and down the web, these forums, anywhere i could find, And everything I tried has failed. Can anyone possibly help me out, or point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] maazuera:
Do you still have accesss to twrp? If yes, wipe internal storage and system, dont wipe RECOVERY, that is twrp, then flash a custom rom, later if you want, you can install a official rom with odin

Edit: system means OS,sorry.

After the last official update, my device died, didn't initialize anymore.

So I tried to flash my phone with the last stock rom (jasmine_global_images_V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM_20200724.0000.00_10.0_79e67f3105) via EDL Mode, because my bootloader is locked.

It flashed, but still didn't initialize.

Then, I replace the files "abl.elf | prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf | prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf" from a GUIDE here.

Doing that, I think I triggered ARB4, because I can't flash the stock ROM anymore... MiFlash give the following error: "Can not read from port COM3".

Any idea about what can be done next?

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to unlock bootloader on my P40 Lite E. I tried brute-force method from github: SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader. Unfortunately it seems, that on Emui 10 the command used to unlock it with fastboot was disabled. Does anybody know if there is a way to somehow bypass it?

I though about downgrading to Emui 9, since I found some articles saying this used to be the pre-installed version on this phone, but again, no luck. Neither could have I found any Emui 9 files for this phone, nor was I able to downgrade using HiSuite.
