[Q] NB4 phone with SS and installing ROM

I got the NB4 update and was able to re-root via an older version of Kingo. Got SS installed and want to install a custom rom on the device. When i'm reading through the instructions, it wants me to flash via ODIN some files.
Can anyone explain on why I have to flash via ODIN files to get the ROM to install on SS? I did install one before and it didn't need and re-flashing.

Was the ROM you are trying to flash a KitKat ROM? Maybe the ROM required updated firmware?

Because you are flashing a KitKat ROM.
You need the BL, AP and CP to be flashed in Odin in order for the ROM to boot and function properly.
You will also have to flash the ROM to the stock slot or it will not work correctly.

I went to the KINGO site and instead of downloading it from the website directly, I picked CNET download which had version 1.18

I used the most recent kingo 1.2.2 a it gave me root, I had to make sure the I had no virus software's activated during the flashing or it would just sit there and do nothing and also make sure you put 10 min. on screen timeout............. Now all I need is to look for is some custom NB4 Rom's ( I think) 4.3 JB to flash and play, I finding that untill the OTA 4.4 KK gets rooted I won't venture forward........

I was able to use Odin to flash these files without any trouble, longest part was downloading the zip lol thanks man. Anyone have a changelog for this update??

Is this newer than the G925AUCU1AOE2 that i got as an ota a few weeks ago?

Oreo beta/Gear compatibility?

Anyone in here updated to the Oreo update that leaked, able to connect to their gear devices?
I tried the update. But my gear watch won't connect via the gear app. I'm assuming because it's unfinished software.
Switched back to nougat for the time being.

Having the same problem on my Note 8 on that Oreo leak. Hopefully someone has an answer?

You're supposed to sideload the plug-in for he device

The Oreo builds are leaked and require you to be on specific builds of Android. I recommend that you do some research yourself and if you find yourself overwhelmed then you should hold off.

This was a while ago. I sideloaded the gear app and it fixed my connecting issue. But I eventually came back to nougat anyway for various bugs that I didn't want to deal with. I didn't use sammobile for anything. I used the links in another xda post. I believe it was the one about flashing carrier specific firmware. I used Odin to get back. Now everything has been as it was before I tried Oreo. It's been about a month, maybe longer since I've done all of this. I'm waiting g patiently for the official Oreo update. I hope that answers your question. If not, just ask.

. Open the root file explorer and go to the /system folder.
3. Open the file named build.prop in text editor
4. In the build.prop file look for ro.config.tima=1 change the 1 to 0 and save changes
The regular shealth app will work after that

If it is the snapdragon version you can't it is root with no updates or stock with updates. To uproot just flash stock firmware with oden warning that will wipe your phone and it will be like when you got the phone

If you have Exynos and want stock firmware/updates, then just flash the latest stock firmware using Odin.
If on the other hand you are rooted and want to stay that way, then just make the build.prop change for s-health and enjoy. You can't get ota updates while rooted, but you could flash new updates through Odin and then re-root, etc. (but make backups first).

Can I not root and then make build.prop change for s-health and then unroot via the unroot option in SuperSU app ?

Well until some one finds a way to reset knox , i believe no other way to update OTA on rooted device. Flashing Stockrom will solved OTA problem but S Health will remain unable to Opens.
If you wants to unroot, just choose full unroot from superuser manager app after editing the build.prop (still No OTA update though)
I Hopes it helps

The SM-T580 as well, but German firmware only.

Anyone on Bootloader 2 or 3, these fimwares will update it to 4. If you end up not liking 8.1 Oreo on the tablet and want to go back to your native country's stock 7.0 firmware, you might not be able to, so check before hand, or wait for custom firmware.
