Hi, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S8+ in Jingdong (in Mainland China) and I'd like to install another ROM so I can use Google Services normally. I've seen the guides and I'm ready to follow them, but I'm not really sure of what ROM should I install to achieve my goal. Thank you so much for your kind help.
Hi and welcome to XDA, @Archimboldi. Normally, if you click the red "Development" quick filter at the top of the list of threads in this section, you would find what ROMs are available, however, there are none:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But if you instead click the yellow "How To Guide" quick filter, the only thread there that I think can possibly help you is the third one down - [How To Guide]Your Average GSI Guide:
GSIs are very basic officially supplied ROMs. I am unfamiliar with where you get one compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/+/Ultra, though. You should probably ask in that GSI thread if a general internet search doesn't help.
Good luck!

Thank you so much. Yes, I have thoroughly searched the internet (Chinese and Western) with no luck. I'll give a try. And thanks for the advice on the forum rules, I'll follow them from now on.

First.. Why would you start new tread if you could post your question in the Energy ROM tread in which you would get much easier answer????
Second: reading and understanding before moving towards to possibly screw up your device is first thing to understand
Anyhow if you wanted ROM as same as in the picture then you need to flash Energy.BLACKSTONE.23542.Sense2.5.Mar.05.7z

Did you install hspl or use uspl to flash the rom? Read the following - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377.
ok, 2 users have responded to assist you.
Firstly, Bulldog, who quite rightly asked why you didn't post this in the NRG thread in this forum instead of creating a new thread
Secondly, ClydeB1, asked whether you used HSPL or USPL which looks like a good starting point, and he also directed you to thread.
I suggest you ask the question about rom in NRG thread and ask for flashing assistance in dummies guide thread (link from ClydeB1)

I'm about to save you a lot of time Rogers (Canada) Captivate users.
I spent the last 6 hours using http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html these directions to flash a rom.
Here is what they don't tell you.
This is for the AMERICAN version (AT&T) Captivate only. Yes. You will be able to install the rom on your phone... but the SIM card supplied to you by rogers will not work with this rom.
Also, after following the "excellent" tutorials online and via youtube, you will end up with a phone flashed back to "stock" (At&T) stock... with all their bloatware. AND your startup graphic will now be "AT&T world phone"
Who would have known how good we had it as Rogers customers?
Bottom line. Stay away from Serendipity, and possibly all roms. Launcher pro is better than 90% of them anyway it seems. And you can turn that off in .6 seconds.

I'm currently using Serendipty 5.2 on my Rogers Captivate with no issues what so ever. You're most certainly doing something wrong.
Nice to know. The latest version is 5.7, which I installed. I will not add a clever image showing your folly by responding to my post out of common courtesy.

How about explaining what I did wrong instead of a face palm? I know that's asking alot.
Are you saying the tut online doesn't flash to an ATnT stock? Are you saying I'm stupid? Are you saying your rom works no matter what? Tell me. Educate. Communicate.
At the very least refute my claims.
Do your self a favor and delete your comments. It is still early, not too many have read it yet. You need to read much more and gain a better understanding before you post something like this
It would appear that the statement made by the OP is false, in that the ROM works on various versions of the device.
If you need assistance, make a new thread in Captivate Q&A, without a title directing the issue at one particular ROM (how about something like the new title of this thread?)
Explain what you have tried, what isn't working (exactly), and someone might be so good as to tell you what you did wrong.

This post said the Their method is applicable to all of the Samsung machine locks BL.
They are already do this,and will not share the way..
It is said that ,the G935A,G935T,G935P,G935V cross bootloader flash Chinese Version ,and support ALL band(gam,cdma,wcdma ,tdscdma,lte) ,all carrier,all
country..
And I get a S7 EDGE G935V, It unlock and flashed, following the picture
I think there are three possible ways to achieve this effect.
1.、use odin flash the eng kernel,and root. then use Z3X or other box to change the Bootloader Recognized identifier
2、Making a special data line, to achieve strong brush the other version of the firmware. (The other phone use this way..)
3、Modify other editions Samsung firmware identifier,To achieve the bypass bootloader to flash the other version.
【I think this is the highest probability】
There are many experts in the forum, I'm sure you'll find interesting
I hope someone can share the way when he successful
Ignore my bad English...

I am very pleased to see so many reply.
I see the reply ,and generally do some answer.
1、The phone is T-mobile,It seems that it flash the Version Version frist
2、After flash Chinese version, the bootloader is still locked
This is really strange, the S7 and S7 EDGE ,US version in the US no one cracks, but it cracked in China and they started to do Paid services..
In ShenZhen ,they flash a phone ,charge $ 20

So, I rooted my hand-me-down Samsung A71, and enjoyed learning about the process and experiencing it. Now, here's the problem. I soon found out that it is just not worth it to root this obscure (*Ahem*) phone, and uninstalled Magisk through the Magisk manager. I checked that the phone had indeed unrooted, and then tried to lock the bootloader. I forgot to flash the stock firmware. And now I have a phone boot looping into recovery mode, and just not allowing me to access the OS. When I try to flash stock firmware through Odin, it freezes. ****.
I screwed up. Help. This thing is very dear to me.
I checked for ways to force-flash, and found EDL and QPST. But this method requires the damn firehose/.mbn firmware file for my A175F A71, which I just can't seem to find.
Should I contact Samsung to generously provide me the firmware, or what? Any suggestions highly appreciated.
P.S: Will soon attach a video of it.

Sorry to unintentionally violate. Will take heed.

I can't, and that is precisely the problem. When starting the device, it straight away takes it to recovery mode, and tries to lock the bootloader continously, but just can't because of the firmware. It doesn't let me do anything.

I managed to unbrick my A71! The above attachment is of it. I was such an idiot. Even in such a circumstance, you can go into download mode, and unlock the bootloader. I did so, set up my A71, and enabled Usb Debug and straight away flashed stock firmware, and THEN locked the bootloader. Damn was I scared. Thanks for your help, Ahmed.
