Thank you

U find it here

I love you
Thank you so much

Following on from my previous messages, I am currently running 2.0.0 oreo. I tried to restore my twrp nandroid backup (nougat 7.1.1), this time I unticked recovery and when rebooting I think it gets stuck. Is there any other steps I need to do? I have no idea about this kind of thing, would really appreciate the help as I kinda need my phone tomorrow heh

There are several options you need to check:
First one is: oreo twrp can only read data on oreo kernel and rom, this means before even restoring something from nougat, you need to make sure you are on nougat TWRP
Secondly: downgrade BL/CP to nougat

Nothing else needed :good:

I am just trying to remove the startup splash image, at least I think that's the splash image.

IRONMAN Galaxy Note 8

Luca Grifo

I have tried for so many hours now but I can't remove it.
I bet it'll end up being something super simple as well lol.

Please help if you could.
Thanks

1. Choose stock in aroma
2. Flash any bootloader via odin
3. Flash the rom with update BL checked, the file is stored in the bootloader. Each time it gets updated the file will be replaced by the stock one

quite disappointed, was looking forward for the 2.0 update, was using the Dr.Ketan ROM whilst waiting for the update. Flashed ironman and everything is SUPER slow, any reason as to why it is slow with ironman, after a clean install?

I'm quite disappointed that you haven't read the OP instructions nor the release post of v2.0, makes me kind of sad :crying:

I was worried that downgrading bl / cp would brick it but now I will try. Although I will be using the oreo/nougat backwards compatible twrp so I should be able to go from nougat to oreo and backwards

does this mean it is safe to restore nougat baseband from my nougat twrp backup once I have downgraded bl/cp?

Also I tried again and it didn't work, my nougat backup is ironman 1.1.0 which ends in BQK6 and I'm trying to flash the bl/cp for that but it comes up with fail. I can flash BRA8 but still gives me a bootloop. what do I do now?

Also if I restore my nougat twrp, everything in internal storage disappears, so I can't really restore my nougat backup if I'm on nougat twrp. If on oreo twrp or oreo/nougat twrp I can restore my nougat backups.

It would be really helpful if you could help me via telegram instead of here, since I can tell you real time. What times are you usually free? @Tkkg1994

There is not oreo/nougat twrp compatible in 1 file. At least that would make me very curious how this person merged the fstab changes into an android check

Anyway, move your backup to a sd card before installing the nougat twrp, then do the same thing again as I wrote previously

About the BL/CP you can change anytime via odin, I don't know how well the twrp version works though

Edit: just to make sure you use the right TWRPs use those here

I was sent this by @Logel , although I could be mistaken that it works for both oreo and nougat.

Update: I even tried your Nougat TWRP to restore nougat backup but when it got to data it said "cannot mount /data no such process". Like I said when I use any nougat TWRP, the entire internal storage and data partition disappears.

I had this problem too but after the rom settles in it runs quite smooth. Just be patient or wipe install again with out choosing root in the aroma installer then after the set up then boot recovery and flash your preferred root method

is it just me GPS is not working for me

Mine is working fine

I'm having issues, wiped phone several times and tried different options each time. Each time I flash I don't select any root methods as suggested by Luca, and only when phone boots up and setup I go back and flash magdsk
If I select every option as stock, phone boots up but can barely do anything with it without it constantly closing app messages and it is impossible for me to select developer options.
If I select iron kernal and modified UI everything appears to install correctly I can even select developer options however after 2-3 reboots the phone will not let me put my password in, it says wrong password and the only way to bypass is to re-flash. Can anyone make any suggestions? I really like Luca's Roms.

Thanks in advance

Yes the patch is included for that, I don't have a HDMI adapter and I assumed the patch will work fine (it's developed from the same author as on nougat)

I do and it doesnt go into dex mode by itself and there is no switch or app in the rom tools or anything... all good, the rom is awesome as is. I will just have to try the xceed kernel as that is suppose to support dex mode with any old cheap hdmi adapter.

Question, since you have the nougat backup on your sd card and nothing else is needed, why don't you flash stock nougat with odin and then the nougat twrp and flash restore you zip from the sd card?

It works fine, I'd never release a rom without working GPS!

Have you checked the md5 from the file you flash? If you followed all tutorials given here then the only possible option left is that your downloaded file is corrupted

He uses the same patch as I do, all use the same patch I guess. You can find it here on his kernel:

If someone like and if it's ok to Luca here is the fixed IRC

How to install it ?
When I ran the apk, it said cannot install

 

[Sineastra]

Finally! God. I am waiting for this ROM so much time. Thanks.

I guess you have root. Use a file explorer and swap this file with the one in system/priv-app/RomControl/ with the right permission 644.

Well if I did that, I have to wipe internal storage again and I'd prefer not to. And also not want to risk getting 1 week jail lol.
Currently downloaded N950FXXU2BQKG stock firmware but all my backups are N950FXXU1BQK6. Will I not be able to downgrade if I flash U2 instead of U1 firmware?

 

[mcn1970]

any plan to update to CRF1?

Thank you very much. It was the solution

The ROM is "EndOfLife", so there are no updates planed!

Hi is there a way to install the wallpaper and theme option menu?

You need to downgrade to the most recent nougat release, not previous ones. For example one that would work is this:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950F/AUT/download/N950FXXU3BRA8/207382/

(N950FXXU3BRA8 base)
You can't flash U1 or U2 with odin anymore so...

This rom is EOL mate

You could chose it in aroma, if you haven't done so you may want to reflash (dirty) and check it this time :good:
