Use Magisk. Flash TWRP, then install Magisk in TWRP. This won't be possible if the bootloader cannot be unlocked

Depends on the binary version, the screen text in Download Mode should tell you. You can't downgrade the binary, so if it changed from 3 to 4 (for example) and is currently on 4, you can only flash binary 4 firmware, but you can't downgrade to 3.

I'll try to put this simply:

Enable OEM unlocking in developer options

Unlock bootloader (wipes data)

Boot device, set up Google/Samsung account, connect to the Internet

Perform a manual update check, do not download update

Check to ensure OEM Unlocking is still visible

Put device in download mode and flash TWRP; immediately boot TWRP, do not allow device to reboot into system, otherwise it will restore the stock recovery

Make sure you flash the Multidisabler in TWRP to disable encryption and recovery restoration

Flash Magisk in TWRP to gain root

Boot into system and set up device, install the Magisk app to manage root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I would leave it on Pie. Anything below that has nasty vulnerabilities like X helper.

If you want more performance optimize it with Package Disabler or adb edits.

If that doesn't get it, get a N10+, a huge performance and cam increase.

@V0latyle

> Use Magisk. Flash TWRP, then install Magisk in TWRP. This won't be possible if the bootloader cannot be unlocked

But the bootloaded IS locked on Android 9, thus Magisk/TWRP can't be installed. Or did I get something wrong?

And since @blackhawk just said to leave it on Android 9 - can anything be done at all?

I heard that Extreme Syndicate for S9 series may seem nice. (OUDATED THOUGH TAKE EVERYTHING NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Are you saying it can't be unlocked? Or simply that it is not unlocked?

The bootloader unlock has nothing to do with the Android version. Whether you can unlock it might though.

Blackhawk is a cranky old curmodgeon, don't listen to him. Totally kidding, he's a smart guy.

So let's focus on Step 1. Enable Developer Options, do you see the OEM Unlocking toggle?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] temuri:
@V0latyle

first of all, thank you for your time and patience.

nope, no such thing under Developer options. neither grayed out, it's just not there.

Your device is set up, you have a Google account added, and you're connected to the Internet?

Bad news but OEM Unlock does not exist on North American models. So you are out of luck unless you have a low bit number which then you can go to @afaneh92 for US/Canada Samsung BL unlocking

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Benefitssketch:
Hello, I have recently been getting Demo unit devices and re-flashing Android On them with Odin3.

I decided to Flash a Galaxy Tab S5e with Android 9, however, mid-download, the flash was cancelled!!

I was given an emergency recovery error and I am stuck in that error. First of all the obvious fix would be to use Samsung Smart Switch to recover the device... But I never installed Smart Switch on the tablet. Smart Switch On the PC now thinks that the tablet is a Galaxy A40 phone ( The previous device I flashed ).

then I tried to use Odin3 to attempt to flash it again, However, this failed (because It tells me the OEM lock is still on ).

After that, I attempted to use Heimdall paired with TWRP ( Team Windows Recovery Project. ) to recover it, But Heimdall wasn't accepting the TWRP file.

After trying for a couple of hours I called it a night ( It was 2 AM ) and went to bed. In the morning I found that now the device Only powers on when connected to The PC, and is stuck in a cycle of turning on and off every 4-8 Seconds ( However after leaving it for a long time Unplugged It'll stay ON about 15-23 Seconds when plugged in. And then return to the cycle of 4-8 Seconds. )

I'm at my wit's end. Any Ideas on how I can Fix this??

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] marioos2010:
Hello,

I have a S23 Ultra ( SM-S918U) - USA model with at&t boot logo and I'm using it in Romania, Europe. So far so good except a few settings specific (maybe) to usa firmware: the missing data icon on notification list, missing network mode ( I can't manually switch from 5g to 4g).

1. Can I flash an europe firmware from sammobile via odin (SM-S918B - I think) over the usa firmware ?

2. Will I lose e-sim doing the above ?

3. What are the disadvantages of doing the above ? I read somewhere about high battery consumption

Also, on Sammobile there is no RO firmware. What firmware should i pick ? This one ?

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S918B) - EUX - S918BXXS1AWD1 firmware

Fast download latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra firmware SM-S918B from Europe with S918BXXS1AWD1 and Android version 13

www.sammobile.com

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] V0latyle:
Absolutely not. If you try to flash the BL and CP files from a different device variant, you risk a permanent brick.

Since the phone would be bricked, yes

Again, you could brick your phone.

The best thing to do is use multi-CSC U1 firmware, such as OXM. This probably won't be necessary though as the US firmwares typically overlap with many other CSCs.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Flash S918U1 XAA CSC using patched odin. You can't flash S918B firmware on it, odin will fail right before it flashes anything. Use HOME_CSC to preserve data and eSIM.

Patched Odin 3.13.1

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

I'm facing an intriguing issue with the battery indicator on my Poco X4 GT cellphone, and I would appreciate some help from the community. Lately, I have noticed that the battery level indicator remains stuck at 15% for hours, regardless of how long I charge the phone. Only when the battery actually drops below 15%, the indicator starts to decrease.

I would like to know if anyone has encountered a similar situation or has any knowledge of possible solutions. If you have experienced something similar or have any suggestions specific to this model, please share your experience or advice.

Additionally, if there are any specific troubleshooting procedures I could follow to resolve this problem or if it is necessary to seek professional technical assistance, I kindly request that you share this information.

Thank you very much!

so i flashed a custom ROM and i must have done it wrong because now its bootlooping

basically first i see the "This phones bootloader is unlocked" warning screen, then it shows Samsung Galaxy M31, then it turns off for 1-2 seconds before it restarts again. i dont get any time in between to power off / go into download mode / go into recovery mode. any suggestions?

Did you fix it?

[Samsung Galaxy M31 Questions & Answers] TheMultiRounderG:
hi,

yes i managed to fix it.

basically i waited for some time before it completely turned off on its own (i think the battery died or something, but it stops after a while)

then i immediately went into download mode by holding the keys and inserting USB

make sure you are fast because if you aren't then it bootloops again and then you have to wait for it to stop
[Samsung Galaxy M31 Questions & Answers] TheMultiRounderG:
also after going into download mode you need to flash the stock rom with odin to fix the bootloops

I want to know how to flash custom ROM in my device.
