Wait, really?? I didn't know that and I set it up for in-store pickup.

There's no way I'm putting a SIM card in until I'm Bootloader-unlocked.

Hopefully, he/she lets me OEM unlock first and then not do ANYTHING else until I get home OR hope the dude or girl lets me connect to my laptop and unlock the bootloader.

It's a long shot but can be very persuasive
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
Yeah, at least for me its that way. My order says "In Store at time of pickup".....I doubt they will allow a computer to connect but GL!!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mzsquared:
Have you considered Amazon? I know there isn't a trade option there but they grant an ample time for returning the device if you aren't happy with and no interest pay period for a year if you use theirs Synchrony CC. You could sell your P7 on Swappa and get more $ then BB is offering.

That's what I've been doing since I have a lot of questions about P8Pro but no clear answers to feel highly confident about this new phone. I've used several Pixel phones before : 4a, 5, 6 and 7a and had never any major complaints about them, but there always was 'something' drawing me back to Samsung because Pixel phones need more hardware tweaks to stand against competition. Am using now S23U and S22 as backup and hope I could replace the 23U with P8pro for good - "if only".
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
Full amount of $1,122.54 will be charged on your payment method until you complete your trade-in. this is what my invoice says. So will take a shot of factory reset before picking up and not touching the new one until the trade in price is validated.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
This process is going to be a challenge for sure. But why wouldn't you put in a Sim card before bl unlocking? What's the difference and why not just unlock it when you get home? All you will need to do is connect to wifi to flip the OEM switch if you really don't want to connect to your network. If you want to copy all your stuff from your old phone after bl unlocking then you'll need to bring in your laptop and after unlock copy the data.

I'm not sure what they are going to do this time around. I'm not sure they have thought this through with multiple people sitting in a BB with their computers copying data. But then again how many really bl unlock these days? Perhaps the Geek guys will know your predicament and allow you to do what you want.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Yeah I read my email and it said bring the old device in. That's dumb. I imagine if I get it OEM unlocked before the SIM card goes in, I'll be OK, Heck, they might not even open the box and I can just handle it at home.

Normally, I get it home delivered but my P7P got snagged off my porch. My Nest Doorbell caught the guys face and the police had him in no time and I got my phone so this is the first store pick-up I ever did
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Some people have had the OEM unlock toggle get greyed out if they put the SIM in first. It's not common, but it's happened. Either way, all my stuff is backed up already.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
this happened to me when I got the P7P.....I believe the fix was to just set the date manually to a date further in the past. and then it is un-greyed......pretty sure that was the trick
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
You know, I've never messed with the date. How do you manually set the date?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
Just an FYI, I bought my P7 from BB and set it up in the store. I didn't put my sim in either but didn't connect to wifi first. OEM was grayed out and I was in near panic mode ready to return it on the spot. But it said connect to carrier so I figured what the heck and put in the sim card, Verizon. Bang, OEM active. And I don't even unlock the bl but I do flip the switch when I do any system updates manually. And it certainly came in handy when I needed to flash back to a previous monthly. So try it in the store with Wifi only and see what happens. Be our guinea pig. Ha. If it's the unlocked version, which I'm sure it is, it should be the same as if you bought from Google.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Oh yeah, it is unlocked!

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I might just be without a phone for an hour while I take it home and do it there, as long as they don't insist on talking it out in the store
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
I sadly do not remember.....but pretty sure that was the method I found when I struggled unlock

I think the method was DO NOT install SIM; Do a basic Setup of phone and somewhere in there we can set the date to unlock the OEM toggle, and then you can install SIM.....something along those lines.

GL TO US ALL!!! :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
They won't insist you or they take it out of the box. But they will try. I always say to anyone wanting to do that I'm germ-aphobic and I don't want anyone touching my device. They'll back off. But open it there, inspect it in front of them and if you're satisfied walk out of the store. Good luck, keep us posted! Exciting times, another day or so for most of us.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
Found a thread....

Open your device Settings. Click on General Management > Date and Time. Then turn off automatic Date/Time.

HTH!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
Interesting, but why would changing date affect anything in the system partition?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
Interesting thing about BB preorder. They put a temp hold on my CC but now that's gone. Is that common ?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 94b20gsr:
Same for me. From the BB pre-order verbiage it looks like that actual charge won't occur until the hardware is picked up in store.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
Mine was charged days ago. Pick up is tomorrow
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 94b20gsr:
Mine also had a hold days ago, but it has since dropped off. BB states my device is at the store ready to be picked up tomorrow, but the watch doesn't look like it will be ready until Friday.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
Same here
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
I can see if it was still on the pending but to charge it before picked up seems sketchy. What if you changed your mind or had to leave for travel? Nonetheless, you'll have it soon.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
Went to pick mine up today. I did wipe and factory reset my trade in. The clerk said you get 300 back. So I said no it should be 550 plus taxes. Never really checked the trade in. So I now have the full amount of the rebate back into my acct.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
Yeah it's funny the way they word the invoice. $200 trade-in device ... $250 trade-in promo. I mean really? So they just neglected to give you the promo initially until you called them on it. Good on you.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
For me I would rather deal with it in person. Just in case they try and cheat you out of the trade in value.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bouchigo:
I picked mine up today, along with the watch. I just told them I was in a hurry due to my lunch break and don't have time to set it up in store. They just took my P7P after factory resetting and I left without even opening up the phone or the watch packaging.

Yeah, I don't know why they separated it into $300 trade-in and $250 promo. Anyway, I got my $550 plus tax back instantly since I used my Best Buy card.

Side note: going from a Oneplus 8 Pro>Pixel 6 Pro>Pixel 7 Pro>Pixel 8 Pro, I had forgotten how much nicer it is having a flat display compared to a curved edge display.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi - I just powered up my U.S. Wi-Fi only SM-T970 for the first time, and successfully enabled OEM Unlock. My software build number is TP1A.220624.014.T90XXU3DWD3.

I haven't rooted my S7+, though I do plan to. I have all the tablet's firmware update capabilities disabled for now.

I have been poking around on XDA and other sites for information on my next steps, and I have a few quick questions for confirmation:

When I download the latest USA WiFi ROM for patching with Magisk, I plan on using Frija. Am I supposed to use a CSC of "XAR" to download the US WiFi ROM?

Can I use Odin3 v3.14.1 (unpatched) to flash the ROM BL, Magisk-patched AP, CP, and CSC files? That is the Odin I use with my Samsung S22 Ultra.

Is there any ROM development occurring for the Tab S7 series? I haven't found anything, and it would be nice if something is availably beyond Android 13.

Thanks!

¿GJ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Your CSC is local. What country do you live in?

I suggest you use this (3.14.1 unpatched) or this (3.14.1 patched). I recommend patched. It reduces errors. If you are sure your Odin is really 3.14.1 and not renamed, and you got it from a reputable site, yes.

No ROM development :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi @Arealhooman - Sorry I didn't respond to your post earlier, I hadn't seen that you replied back.

I live in the USA. My tablet is the WiFI-only version (SM-T970). I'm pretty sure that I should do the Frija ROM search using the "XAR" CSC, but I wanted to make sure before I accidentally brick my new tablet with a bad assumption.

When I root the tablet with Magisk, what features will I permanently lose? Are there any features that I would lose temporarily, but regain with some Magisk modules?

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Is your phone unlocked? If not what carrier? A incorrect CSC cannot brick your device, but can prevent you from using your carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
You would lose all features that require Knox. It is a long list, just google it. You will regain the features using a module are in pic below. The ones with the X you will not regain, it is just listed there because it is a popular feature request.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] ¿GotJazz?:
@Arealhooman - I see that is snapshot of a README.md file. What Magisk module is that for?

My SM-T970 has the bootloader unlocked, it isn't associated to a carrier (WiFi only). I see in my downloaded (via Frija) SM-T970 "XAR" ROM that it only has the AP, BL, and CSC files. There is no CP file. Is that correct?

UPDATE: About the Magisk Module - I Googled around and found the KnoxPatch Module on GitHub.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] cucumbersmell:
Correct. CP would be for phones or tablets with cell service.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Arealhooman:
Oh gosh, sorry, I did not see your qestion. Yes, as the user above confirmed, that’s correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks for all the help! My tablet is rooted and running great now.

I have successfully:

Enabled OEM Unlock on my SM-T970

Unlocked the bootloader

Patched the latest SM-T970 XAR ROM AP file with Magisk v26.3

Flashed the BL, CSC, and Magisk-patched AP files to the tablet using Odin v3.14.1 (unpatched)

Restored most of the available Samsung functionality with the KnoxPatch Module.

Disabled a metric butt-load of pre-installed Samsung apps I don't want or will never use.

If anybody needs details, I'll be happy to help out!
[Android Software Development] mediawiz:
I am at a company that is implimenting AOSP code for an embedded application. In many cases, we need to change the default behavior of Android, so that it does what we need it to do.

It is simple enough to rewite the AOSP code base (for a specific AOSP release) to do that, but then when we get a new release of AOSP, we have to add/port all of our changes to that new code base.

Is there a way to (not modify the AOSP code base, but) create new code modules that over-ride the AOSP functions with new behavior? I worked at another company where they seemed to have done this, but I don't know the mechanizum that they used to acheive it.

Anyone know how to do this???

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] carrot34:
Hi! I've got an old Tab S7 5G whose screen is going. (This white bloches issue, getting gradually worse.) I'm looking to replace it with a newer 11" 5G tablet, and ... the only newer option I see is the Tab S9 FE, since Samsung didn't make a 5G version of the S8 or S9. So I'm contemplating "upgrading" my S7 to an S9 FE, but ....

Is that really an upgrade? Are there ways in which the S9 FE is gonne be worse than the S7? Missing features? Worse performance? It looks like the Exynos 1380 chip in the S9 FE may be a slower chip than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ in the S7, though I'm not sure how much that'll impact the smoothness of the device in day to day use.

(I imagine someone must have done a comparison of the S9 FE with the S7, but I'm not seeing it anywhere!)

Thanks!

Alan
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] The Root:
I'd honestly consider the S9+ 5G, if possible. The S9 FE looks kind of unimpressive with a 90 mhz LCD display. The S9+ is also 11.24 inches so it's the right size.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] carrot34:
Thanks! Alas, the Tab S9+ 5G is 12.4", which is too big for me.

It seems like Samsung is done making 11" 5G tablets, which makes me super sad!!! (especially because no one else is doing that as well as they used to.)

That's a very good device.

So, I downloaded the Beta and it's great with one major fail for me......

There's a bug that means that any SIM based call, over VoLTE or VoWiFi, fails after 2-3 seconds. This ONLY happens if Bluetooth is switched on.

Even if bluetooth is NOT connected, it will still fail, so for example it was communicating with a keyring tracker.....call dropped. As soon as BT was switched off, I could make calls normally.
