[Q] My exhibit 4g is not acting up correctly

Hello guys,
This phone is giving me headaches. Once I rooted the phone is not allowing me to to flash CWM and nothing at all but continue stock. Im looking like a paranoid for the Pit file and the flash rom for me to go stock 100% but there is nothing in the forum to well organized I guess that I have missed looking for it or getting lucky to find it.
Im on 2.3.3 right now and the more I do factory reset the more the superuser stays installed. Pleas advise how to successfully flash my phone from scratch for me to install one of the custom ported roms we have in the forum.
I came from Samsung Vibrant with an experience of more then 1000 flashes. I think the bad thing about this phone is that we have to navigate over 7 different forums to get the info correctly and is very confusing.
Guys I also dont have Network Signal meaning I cant use the phone.
Thanks guys very much for any help

I think you are in the wrong forum this is for the galaxy exhibit 4g aka the exhibit 2. I say this because I think the stock ROM that the exhibit 2 came with was 2.3.5

No forums, but there are threads. Just Google xda t759 stock and read around. I know that a stock Odin flash able package is available, but I don't remember where. Also post in their forums because although our phones are very similar I don't know the exact steps/files for your phone.

[Q] S Off and Updating ROM on GSM Unlocked One M8

Hey guys, how's it going?
Well, I recently bought an HTC One M8. It is the Sprint Variant I believe. So it was an unlocked version with ViperOne 1.7.0 installed. I checked for updates and found there was an update for 1.8.0, to which I instantly updated. I was aware that Viper 2.4.0 is available for the device too, hence my question is if it's okay to update to flash/update full ROMs to this unlocked M8? I am aware that I would lose the unlock on non Sense based ROMs though. So, is there anything I should consider/remember before flashing the full ROM to the device?
Another problem I am facing is with achieving S Off. I am aware about what all of this is as I have always been involved with such things but always with factory unlocked variants. Anyway, I tried the firewater method, for at least 10 times but everytime it says that it can't S Off my device. (Screenshot Attached)

Is there something I can do about this? Anyone who had faced this and resolved it?
Other than these two little issues, my final question is that IF in case anything goes wrong, would a Nandroid Backup restore my phone to the current state INCLUDING the SIM Unlock?
In simpler terms, can anyone tell me what all can and can not affect the SIM unlock on my device? Kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc?
I did a lot of search before posting this thread (two nights) and found answers to many other questions and doubts but not to these three. Sorry if these are all actually noob questions. Thank you!

Anyone?

Only way to achieve soff is sunshine in conditions like you. It works like a charm. if you would have problem with sim unlock, Then, flash Bad Boyz rom and follow the instruction at second post. Just past same path 4 days ago

I would definitely do all of this but now I have another problem. I attempted to change runtime on Venom 1.8.0 but now it wouldn't reboot. Doesn't go past "HTC One" screen on boot. Can't try any other ROM because my broadband is having troubles. *sad*

Their is a small zip to change runtime back to dalvik it's your best choice or reflash the Rom next time do a nandroid before doing that. Your phone will not boot because you have a tweak or theme/mod that art doesn't like.. good luck remember the zip is in the read me section of viperrom.

I had a couple of NANDROID backups but they didn't correct the issue either. In the end, I had to wipe system and flash the ROM again. Works fine since then.

Systemless Root benefits

Now that google has patched systemless root, are there any more benefits to it compared to the regular root?

If you're on full stock you can unroot and flash ota's. That's about it afaik

It's currently the only method to root stock rom and kernel. And leaving /system read only and untouched seems to be marshmallow's flavor if you will.

I have been on systemless for awhile now so perhaps it has changed but dont you need a modified boot image to avoid the corrupt phone message?

Nothing at all, I run franco's. But not having to mess with it if you are running stock is an advantage. A small one but that is what the op was asking.

not anymore, it doesnt since google shut it down for systemless root.

I wonder if you can use your google wallet card, within the android pay system and would it still work? I will have to test this...

few possiblilities:
1. You haven't received the rollout for the new safetynet api
2. Your payment wasn't checked with safetynet this time.
3. You lucky booger.

I was going to say, they may not have "updated" android pay yet. I wonder if you don't update how that will work. Tbh, the systemless root does seem pretty moot at this point unless you love OTAs.

It is gonna get to the point that people will have to pick either root/custom roms or using things like android pay. Not a big deal personally as all mobile payments are blocked in every store here

In need of a little guidance

So today I went out and got me a Note T-mobile Note 4 off CL. The jackhole I bought it from forgot to mention the phone was modded but anyways that's Craigslist right? [emoji16] so I went and tried to factory reset which took me to a screen I believe is a custom recovery but want to verify. There was no SU or any root apps installed. Since I was going to mod phone anyway I'm not too worried but would like an Idea of what should do as far as updating/changing since I'm new to Samsung forums. Attached pic of recovery and my about phone. Any help much appreciated!

Is that cwm? Don't recognize it. Since you are on DOK2, grab it from sammobile and use Odin to flash it. Will give you a completely fresh start.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

It's definitely modded since seandroid is permissive. That recovery though seems to be the stock one of build DOK2.

Perfect I was trying to figure out if that was the stock recovery so I would know where to start. I was also confused because it looks like CWM but I'm going to end up jus flashing full DOK2 .tar and start all over. Thank you both!

Yeah that looks like cmw and AEL is a custom kernel I believe.

Yea look at samfail page.
Verify what softwear version you are on and use appropriate version,
There is no root for 8.0 so you will have to downgrade to a older U3 bootloader to root if on 8.0

Ok Im on oreo 8.0, I have never rooted this phone but looking at the steps on samfail its 3 different versions of it and what im getting is you have to flash them in order but someone says just flash samfailv3, can some one please tell me what bootloader i need, the proper steps, just a complete walkthrough because i dont wanna mess my phone up and i wanna make sure im doing this correctly, thanks in advance or at least tell me what all i need instead of directing me to samfail thread, its alot going on in that thread and my brain cant process it all.

If I downgrade i can prevent bootloop for one, secondly there are many qualities to root, dual speakers, custom roms when they roll out, etc. Reasons y I wanna root it.

This is essentially a RTFM situation. You won't find much help unless you can actually demonstrate something. If you were stuck at a particular step, someone could help you, but you are asking for a walk through for just the first step.
Yes those mods are available to rooted note 8's but do you know how to apply them, or would you be right back here asking for a step-by-step guide for that as well?
Please don't think I (or anyone) is trying to be mean here. You just need to do your own research and figure it out, and if you brick your phone, you brick your phone. That is how many of us learned.
Come back with some actual questions and you will get actual answers. That said, your "how-to" has already been written here
Basically you need to figure out which firmware you have installed, downgrade via ODIN if not compatible, follow the rest of the steps using ODIN, and you'll have root. If you've rooted a Samsung device before this should not be difficult for you.

STAYING STOCK and safe.

Over the years, the only two reasons I would root my Android phone:
Get rid of ads
Hotspot
With the Note-8, you can modify the settings and get hotspot to work w/out rooting...........there's a thread out there for instructions.
I found an app that controls/eliminates the ads via VPN, runs in the background with very little battery drainage if any at all.

You can also download DnsChanger(Open Source) from the PlayStore and use these DNS Servers from AdGuard to block advertisements, tracking, and phishing globally on your phone.

Yes. That will always be a thing unless the bootloader gets unlocked.

that 80% thing definitely makes it a no go for me

There's no advantage to root unless you have a custom recovery. Also you don't need root to run custom ROMs, a custom recovery will do all you need, plus most ROMs come rooted.
Point is, I'd rather have a custom recovery over root. The custom recovery will fix a bootloop, flash ROMs, themes, apps and maybe one or two things I'm forgetting.
Lastly, I'm not seeing any custom recoveries for carrier locked Note 8s. Heck, unless I'm missing something, I'm seeing anything for unlocked ones.
