ROM for Snapdragon? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Just won an auction on an N950U. Is the bootloader locked? Should I have gone for another model? Or are there some good pie ROMs for it? On Note 4, my favorite was Havoc for all of the customization.

Bootloader locked. Only way to root is if bootloader is on revision 1,2,or 3

Yeah and cant count on an eBay user knowing the BL ver. Ok so do you think an N950F would be able to access all Tmobile bands? Im not used to tmo locking their bootloaders

Might have issues with carrier aggregation. Again you can get those answers from searching XDA they have been covered numerous times. Good luck

You should not post questions in the development section, please bare this in mind for future posts. Helps keep the thread clean.
I have contacted a moderator to move your post to the correct Q&A section of the thread, just in case you think your thread has disappeared.

AT&T OTA

Pardon my stupidity if this has already been asked, but I couldnt find any info on it.
SIM unlocked and rooted my AT&T Moto X and am running it on my local carrier. Have 4.2 installed with SS. I just got the OTA notification for 4.4 (i assume from AT&T). Is this normal?
Also, if I were to take the OTA, it would break root of course, but could I just use slapmymoto to root it? Also, since I have never done OTAs, are there any disadvantages to it?
TIA
Don't bother taking the ota...the first step of slap my Moto is returning to stock 4.2.2!

Wifi won't turn on. Sim card isn't being detected.

Hi.
I ****ed up. I tried to restore my Moto X to factory defaults following the instructions found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657) and everything went wrong. My phone was soft bricked. I managed to save it using the windroid tool (flashed recovery, in recovery flashed CM12) but when I booted I couldn't enable wifi and my sim card wasn't being detected.
I don't know what to do. I'm in over my head. I need help. I tried reflashing the rom, but that didn't work. I might suck at searching but I couldn't find anything that worked in the forum. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Why are you following a guide for the moto G? What phone model do you have? If you're flashing moto G images that certainly won't work. If you have the PE then flash the images off the moto web page. The 5.0 images are posted so you shouldn't have issues with downgrading. If you have another model there are guides and images in this, the moto x, forum for that.

Thanks for the reply.
I found the guide in the faq stickied in the help forum. Guess I wasn't thinking. Do you thinking following a different guide will solve my problem?

There are a bunch. Is the bootloader unlocked? What country? What version were you on before you flashed CM? You need to find the images for your particular device.

You can convert your phone to a PE if you want. If not just use his instructions and flash your version you found on the previous link. Then you can flash back to CM.

you can flash all international rom,or just flash rom of N920C
when flash file via odin just remember uncheck the auto reboot

What apps have you disabled so far?

Is PDP still recommended to use for this? Looks more complicated to install now.
Noticed a disable option when selecting an app on home screen or app drawer.
I'm on Verizon btw.

I use BK package disabler. So far I've just disabled the usual suspects.
I was able to disable everything on the Verizon phone expect the Verizon security app. Why i turned around and installed the XAA rom to get rid of everything and just installed Verizon assistant app
Oh I might have to do this, didn't notice a rom was available for Verizon models.

I flashed the XAA fw over mine with ODIN. Is the XAA version for use in canada only? Im in the US and thinking i flashed the wrong one. Should i be looking for the U1 US?
Yea the U1 US was the first tom I flashed I live in the U.S.A. as well but it will say H+ and you will get carrier branded features.

Ok bc I flashed XAA over current rom and I keep getting an error coming up saying it setup not complete, can't activate service.
I can make calls just fine though. I still see Verizon security on my phone.
Should I wipe first then flash?
Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk
Yeah the unlocked roms the U1 version don't remove the carrier bloatware. It will stay that's why it errored out so I flashed the att one. Now you might can find the XAC one which will have a user data file in it I'm look around in a few

Just signed up as well Attaching some screenshots. Downloading right now, and will take screenshots after installed.
EDIT: Just a head's up, that I had a bootloop after installing. Not sure why as I disabled all Substratum overlays. Also was using Goodlock, and wonder if that could have messed up something. Be sure to backup your stuff just in case
If it is possible for any of you who have access to this to create a zip for others, including myself, to use. It would be greatly appreciated.

Will this work for an At&t branded Note 9 that is unlocked and running on T-Mobile? I can't seem to find anything in the Members app.
Worked on my sprint 960u(now shows as 960U1). running the unlocked U1 firmware XAA region.
Just had to check for updates twice.
You have to sign up through the Samsung members app first. Some have reported clearing app data fixes the beta invitation banner not showing.
AFAIK This is for unlocked U1 devices only.
None of the samsung good lock, navbar apps are working though in the 10 beta.

If you goto settings>about phone and your model number is anything other than SM-N960U1
Then I doubt it will work.
Pretty sure I'm going back to 9 today. The absence of goodlock and no dark mode in messages app is killing me.
Clearing my theme enabled systemwide dark mode
That works with messages.
Still feel like the additional features don't make up for the loss of goodlock and some of its modules.
I got it installed. Think it's pretty nice so far. Substratum doesn't work but #hex installer still does since it's been updated to one UI 2.0. so most the apps I like to theme are still able to. Over all for a first beta it's smooth. Few tweaks had to be hunted down in settings but got figured out. Over all I'm pretty happy. Just waiting for the goodlock apps to be updated.

Try to force the update by checking for system update. That's what I did and is was right after I registered.

If you're registered for the beta and not getting it, its probably because you updated to the December security patch (N960U1UES3CSK1) before you successfully registered for the beta. Odin back to the November security patch (N960U1UES3CSJ1) check for a system update and you'll get the beta (N960U1UEU3ZSL2) update. Worked for me.
