Don't know why but my phone is kinda laggy with the newest version. Did a clean install.

I have currently no issues with n9...

Instructions posted on page 1 are same irrespective of your current rom.


Excellent, so if I am correct in my understanding per your OP instructions I'm on current ROM, should be as simple as downloading your latest build then flashing via TWRP after wipe. No OEM unlock concerns for me to be worried about then, since I'm already rooted and OEM unlocked?

Do it like in instructions written..... but in my opinion its recommended while installing rom to select Patch OEM to prevent a bootloop after rebooting if OEM unlock doesnt appear....

Do not try it since yours SM N9500 Model with snapdragon chip.... you can check all model versions here http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8/models/1665

This rom is for only SM-N950F or FD like in 1st thread in title already written

@xenix96,thank you for the advice. I'll follow through to flash and in addition flash the select Patch OEM. I'll be sure to take a Nandroid of my current ROM setup just to be in the safe side to recover.

Is it really necessary to factory reset before flashing this ROM? I'm coming from Renovate ROM and would like to give it a try. Typically, when flashing I've simply performed a NANDROID of my current ROM, then done a full Wipe in TWRP. Afterwards, I proceed to install the new ROM. I understand the whole OEM unlock issue plague of the Note8 and would be sure to also flash the patch included in the ROM to ensure no issues there. However, I'm a bit confused with the bootloader update and CSC selection. Any advice please on my above questions would be appreciated. I'm on the AT&T network in the US so suggestions would be helpful.

A new convert here coming from the Renovate ROM, which I thought was wonderful, but the developers dropped support!

Great work on this ROM!

I removed the pattern lock and fingerprint lock and installed the IronMan Kernel. Then after it rebooted reinstalled my pattern lock and fingerprint lock. Only weird thing is I tried the Ironman kernel and after a while, something went serious wrong and I could not unlock the phone via pattern lock or Fingerprint. TWRP restore back to before the IronMan Kernel cured it. IronMan issue I assume. I am still reading the hundreds of posts on this thread and not sure if there is a recommended kernel outside of the original.

@Flame Red, would you mind advising me of how you migrated from RR to Dr. Ketans ROM, properly please in steps to flash? I'm a bit worried in regards to the OEM Unlock issue and bricking since I've used nothing but RR since I first rooted my Note8 several months ago. In regards to a very good Kernel, I've had nothing but incredible performance and battery life using Xceed Kernel. Maybe give that one a try to test out.

@Flame Red, would you mind advising me of how you migrated from RR to Dr. Ketans ROM, properly please in steps to flash?

I pretty much followed the steps in the OP, but I'll summarize here how I did it.

• I did a full TIBU to the SD card
• I downloaded the ROM Zip file to the Ext SD card
• I did a backup to the Samsung Cloud under RR
• I did a full TWRP backup to SD card under RR
• Got the BL and Modem from the OP, unzipped and applied through ODIN as documented in the OP
• I did a FULL DATA Wipe in TWRP as documented in the OP
• Flashed the ROM in TWRP
• Let it boot.
• Re-established WiFi, Google and Samsung account as usual
• Tried to restore from Samsung, but it was not totally successful. It got most apps, and some settings, but not screen layouts as it usually does. Also, a few apps missing, and a few apps lost all their settings.
• I restored the Apps from TIBU that Samsung missed. just user apps - nothing from the RR rom!
• reconfigured quite a few apps that were still not setup from the backups
• Setup all the screens back to how I liked them since the samsung restore did not this time like it usually does for new rom swaps.
• There were a few settings I had to put back that Samsung restore did not.
• Let GPlay update any apps as it sees fit
• I am on T and somehow this phone set it self up perfectly for T and Volte works without any interaction.
• I customized build prop to get a few things I wanted.
• Changed the boot animations as I like
• redid all BT pairings, etc
• Enjoy! :laugh:

No bricking or any weird problems. The only thing that messed me up was trying the Ironman Kernel for some reason.

Would you mind detailing the steps you took to change the boot animation.
I have an OEM locked phone, and my phone was locked for seven days. I flashed a Spanish based original ROM and that changed my boot animation to Movistar, which has persisted even after I flashed Dr Ketan ROM.
Thanks

You propably flashed branded spain firmware with csc XEC .... if you flash unbranded spain csc PHE firmware you get rid of movistar bloatwear

Is it necessary to flash the latest BL and Modem if I am coming from Renovate in order to flash the latest Dr. Ketan ROM? If not I would rather just proceed with flashing the latest Dr. Ketan ROM.

I am not sure if it is required or not. I wanted all the latest updates since Renovate has not been updated in months.

You dont need latest BL ....

If you have no issues dont upgrade your BL cause samsung increasing in future the security and you will no more able to flash something with odin and cant downgrade to lower Revision of BL....

If we purchase the pro version does the floating messages and call recording work using the stock CSC files (Arent they encrypted) and do we need to re-purchase after each new ROM.

Thanks

Every tweak in pro works here including call recording and no you dont need to re-purchase for each new rom.

You purchase it 1 time for 1 device the licens is registered to your imei for lifetime ? .
This means if you got a 2nd device and want use tweaks pro there too you have to purchase license also for 2nd device.
