Flashing SM-G950F firmware to SM-G950U/1 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Is it possible to flash SM-G950F firmware to SM-G950U/1? I know they do have different processors but has anyone tried this?

No it will not work because of kernel difference

No, but you can change the CSC with a mod. But there is no possible way as they have different CPUs.

You cant flash kernel of another device however you can use the system of g950u you just need to modify a little bit to support your device. But I think it will be difficult for you to do that its look like you are new

I'd just like my G950F to have T-mobile bootstrapper so that I can get full network speeds. currently getting very limited speeds and missing some essential options.

[INT/Bell][CWM]Auto Ram Fixer for unlocked bootloader

Hi,
This is a small CWM zip to add the [email protected] line to your existing boot and recovery partitions to fix the ram issue with the international unlocked bootloader. If the second mem is already there it does nothing.
The point of this is you can have a regular recovery flashed and fix the ram issue without wondering what tegra part you have, it preserves your serial number as well. More useful with stock boot images than custom ones that already have this done.
To use:
Flash with a CWM recovery supporting edify scripting. That means you have an unlocked recovery basically.The program inside the zip can be used on it's own to list the cmdlines already in your phone, or to set them to something else.
As cmdline, it lists, as setcmdline it sets the entire thing, as addcmdline it adds on to the end of the existing cmdline.​Cheers!
Great! Looks like our bell friends are having good development as well.

So would i need to flash this once and then any ROM I install will have fixed RAM, or do I need to flash this after every installation?

You can just keep it handy on your sdcard and use when needed, it depends on the "rom" you flash, it may or may not have a ram fix solution built in.

It depends on the Kernel the Rom has within it, nothing else.
Furthermore, no offense. But this is kinda useless now. Did you not know we have unified Kernel's? If someone made a Rom without a unified kernel, they can basically shove that Rom.
I do not see a point in this at all. I guess maybe for testing old Roms.....

Hi,
I addressed this already in the OP. It's more for use with stock kernels.
Can you compile the motorola kernel source (pick one) and get a binary exact match for the stock Bell kernel?
No offense to the guys working on kernel's here, but I am not really compelled by the added features/bug fixes, and am concerned more about stability, especially when the source seems to be ATT based. Which is fine if you are running an ATT framework "rom/theme" I guess, even better if you have an ATT phone.
Cheers!

System Ram lists 816 total, so I should be in the clear or should I apply it anyways? Is there not a gig of ram on this thing or is some gpu/frame buffer dedicated?

So, if I understand this correctly, when I flash this it will auto-fix any ROM, kernel or custom recovery that I install?

[Q] Dual Boot with two roms

I'm curious, would it be possible to have dual boot on the Note, I don't mean Android & Linux, but have two different roms like RocketRom and Paranoid?

Max from rootgalaxynote mentioned something about dual boot in one of his videos. (paranoid review I.think )
Are you sure its not possible
The developer of the AOKP rom (sixstring) said something at one time in that thread (search for it) about dual boot. It is possible, but whenever he can get to it. We aren't paying for this development, so we can't be so picky.

Does anyone know if custom roms work on this phone? the rooting process seems to be far different so i was wondering if custom roms can be applied to this model as well. I want to update to 4.2.2 fairly bad.

your bootloader is locked, so no kernels. pimp my rom should work as long as you got root afaik

[Q] Wifi Error on Verizon original Rom

Hello,
I have a serious problem here.
After rooting my device (Motorola xt862), Wifi is no more working, always "Error".
But when I've installed a costum ROM such as CM10, it's working again !!
I thing that the problem is related to Kernel or wifi drivers such as wl12xx in the Verizon original ROM.
I've tried to copy wifi drivers from CM10 to Verizon original ROM, but this has not work. I didn't find boardconfig.mk to apply some modifications... :crying:
I'm a beginer in android developpment, is any one can show me how to modify this? maybe a tiny tutorial?
Thank you so much

Most common wifi issue is rom is built for different kernel, did you downgrade from system version 906 to 890, so you could root?

Hi,
whether i flash D3G-55 (890) or D3G-66 (906) It dosent' work. Because they have the same kernel I think.
But with a CM it is working ( a different kernel version).

[Fix/Patch] Flashable Call Audio Fix for T/W8 devices on Int' ROMS (920 F/I/K)

Flashable fix for call audio that is kernel independent and will patch International based ROMS to work on your T/W8 variant.
You still need a kernel that is T/W8 compatible flashed for this patch to work.
Code:
You can get it [URL="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952614440"][B]Here[/B][/URL] for 5.0.2
And you can get it [URL="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347831878"]Here[/URL] for 5.1.1
Updated 5.1.1 package to BOI6
This patch can also be implemented by ROM builders who wish to build a F based rom for their T or W8 devices Just remember to give credit where it is due. This was a bigger pain in the butt to track down then it appears.
Let me know if you find any issues that may be relative to the fix. Tested and working by my self and a few others.
This patch can also be implemented by ROM builders who wish to build a F based rom for their T or W8 devices. In that regard it *should* also work on Edge variants as well.
Rom builders: you can also use this to build a truly universal ROM one flash to cover it all.
Download my kernel and examine its structure. specificallt look at the scripts that probe device variant and then copy the required files and kernel. You can adapt this to work the other way . But always run it *at the end* of the installation script so anything it patches does not get overwritten by your usual installer code

Ah yes i should mention that!
this patch goes hand in hand with the above as well. will fix GPS with AOE3 based kernels >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608763
again feel free to rip / implement it as you see fit

What kernel are you on? You still need a kernel that is T/W8 compatible flashed for this patch to work. . I thought i had mentioned that, but it was in a different thread sorry.

Everyone.....I may have misses a variant , I thought I got them all. So there is also an A for att?
I'll have to patch up the kernel for that we should also be able to support it.

Gav, the A is a T/W8 variant but has a locked bootloader. don't waste your time they cannot flash kernels. But thy can flash roms and my fix will work since they will be on a stock kernel. well *work* hopefully lol
Edit: Never mind Google+ was keeping the device from sleeping. Please disregard.
NJGSII said:
Ive noticed that flashing either the full kernel with the fix or just the fix itself ontop of ktoonez's kernel, my device doesnt enter deep sleep. I did a test where i just reflashed ktoonez's kernel without the fix and sure enough the device enters deep sleep again.

I'd try chearing caches possible. as i have been flashing non stop for the past 12 days on the simpl kernel and my fix and have always verified deep sleep is working and it is as it should.

True. Found out what the problem was and it had nothing to do with this. You guys are good!
I've tried this on the G925T (The TMo S6 Edge), but it didn't seem to work with ktoonz kernel. Not complaining, just letting you know. Thanks for your hard work and assistance (both of you).
*Edit*
Installed Simpl Kernel with this mod and it worked. I'm using XtreStoLite ROM, but didn't work with ktoonz at all (with the fix). Flashing Simpl with with the fix worked just fine. Still need to get used to the Intl ROM.
My apologies beforehand, would you mind clarifying what this patch allows us to do. Can we patch Roms from other providers, I'm just a little confused.
