Hello, I have a Samsung S8, model G950W, on latest firmware which is unrootable and bootloader can't be unlocked. It had the Knox Enrollment "lock" on it and I got hold of someone who flashed a file from download mode, made me factory reset from recovery (which then bypassed the initial...

Any chance you could try and make this work with the Canadian model, J327W? It has the same Exynos chipset. I can flash it and it boots, but the touchscreen doesn't work. I can provide logs and probably help with building it you can give me a quick explanation on how to port touchscreen input...

Thanks man! Will def look into it.

I'm getting a weird problem with some ROMs regarding network. Tried crDroid, AICP and Firehound. I understand the version of vendor.img and other important files (modem, radio, etc.) is important for all features to work correctly. First of all, there is no OPM1 version for April: it's been...

If it's not cracked and doesn't have any major dents, you could get it repaired for free under warranty. All current S8/S8+ are under warranty since the phone was released not even a year ago. If you dropped your phone and it wasn't bad enough to damage anything, but touch doesn't work, then the...

The permission error is on a folder that's on the "data" partition. I'm pretty sure if you wipe data/cache from recovery you'll be good. Maybe try to wipe data/cache and then reinstall the FW through ODIN.

I got my S8+ (Canadian model G955W) and it was originally with another carrier. I couldn't enable WiFi calling and some other carrier specific stuff did not work. What I did was change the CSC to the carrier I am with. CSC's are responsible for a lot of things, like the quick toggles in...

Hello, I'm trying to use Android Pay on my Samsung S8+, model G955W, but I can't seem to set it up as default payment method. It doesn't let me enable it as default in the settings. I am not rooted, never was, running latest update. It always defaults to the TD app. I tried deleting the TD app...

I was looking at different articles comparing the cameras of both the iPhone 8 Plus camera and S8+. Both got pretty good reviews everywhere and were praised for their quality, but what struck me the most is this sample shot on gsmarena (link...

Went apple picking, this phone takes great shots on auto!

Try just one space, or just a '0'. If it doesn't work, one way I've found of getting the network ON when in "secure boot" mode is by doing an emergency call (Dial 112 or 911) and then hanging up. It should enable the network and data connection, but it won't be traceable trough "Find my device"...

Hello, I use different paid tools to unlock, root and repair phones at my shop. Recently, I've been using a MicroUSB to UART cable to execute certain delicate procedures and would like to get some explanations from someone knowledgeable. It seems like recent Samsung phones with UFS memory have...

Just want to add my 2 cent. I'm a technician in a repair shop and use different tools to unlock/repair phones. Most of these tools can (I believe) access and modify partitions through the serial port when in "Download mode". They can erase the /persist partition that is responsible for FRP lock...

Thanks :) Got it working with the LG Update Center. Honestly didn't think about it because I thought it was standard on the ROM, but seems like it needs to be updated.

Hello, I just got a LG V10 Model H962 (dual-sim, Taiwan version if I'm not mistaken). I do not have any FM Radio app on stock firmware. I sideloaded the APK that was uploaded in this thread, but it's not working fully... I can scan stations and record the radio (which plays fine with the Music...
