You want me to go through 600 plus comments instead of just asking my question and get an answer right away....

Yeah ok.......

It's on the first page.

Not only you want to be fed, you want it spoon-fed too.

The exact condition is a Race condition caused by the AOD initilizing. Basially the normal screen turns on in AOD mode. Maybe once or twice a day. It happens when you turn the screen on right before the AOD starts. Hard to get timing consistantly

Whoa was there a thread cleaning? That's a 4 hour nap in posting and that last part looks as if it's a continued conversation. ??

So are you asking for help with the screen glitching it to weird colors every now and then? If yes, you've already found the solution which is to turn screen off and turn back on. It definitely has to do with AOD. I think there's gotta be a if else then check going on when the device is picked up.

Could also have to do with "block accidental touches." I got the glitches less when that feature was turned off.

Recently I've experienced horrible reception and little signal strength.
Can I upgrade just the modem file to try and get better signal? I am still on 1AQI5 and would rather not update everything.

Running the Verizon Note 8, on Samfail V1 on the Chimera V2.

I think (not sure) that Chimera has add-on csc's (modified) that can be flashed with rom....
But either way will work, manual install from my thread or flash with Chimera

Root Successful

Now that I root can flash custom Roms on my N950U Note 8

 

[MrMike2182]

As long as they're for the N950U then yes, but there's only like 2 or 3 roms available since the bootloader is not unlocked. You can't just use any Note 8 rom, it needs to be N950U specific!!

 

[whitehawk66]

God I love my rooted Note 8....

 

[accurate40]

I know that after SamFAIL rooting, it breaks the safetynet and can't use some app like snapchat.
If I unroot later, will I be able to use snapchat again? Or charge back to 100% battery?

Is there any permanent affect after rooting with SamFAIL?

Also, the reason I want to root is I want to recovery some deleted videos. But does SamFAIL wipe the data when root? If so, is there any other rooting method that I can use, so I can recover the deleted videos?

 

[butchieboy]

100% yes after unroot..yes samfail wipes data..when rooted try discdigger

SM-N950U TWIZtd Rom

 

[accurate40]

Thank you so much for your quick reply, butchieboy

Yes, Discdigger is nice. But can I still recover the video after root? Since samfail wipes data.

Also, just to reconfirm, can I also use snapchat after unroot? Meaning there is totally no harm after rooting with samfail. If yes, Thats super amazing ˆˆ
