Rogers Firmware Update - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Rogers has just pushed an Update - More than a Month after just about every other Canadian Carrier - We'll see if it includes the September Security Patch...
Edit: No September Security Patch - And it may not happen to you - But I had System UI has Stopped - Had to Boot into Stock Recovery and Factory Reset - Royal PITA!

That's great - I didn't receive it until 09/28 (the update also wasn't available on sammobile.com until 09/28) - And the update resulted in "System UI has Stopped" on my device (apparently I'm not alone) - And the solution to the System UI issue is now posted

The screen shot that I posted earlier was a reply to me from Rogers on Twitter... If that's what you mean.
You're the guy who had the System UI has Stopped... right?
Did you fix it by doing what I said was the solution?

There's no reason why the Factory Reset shouldn't work - It resets everything except for the OTA Firmware update from the Carrier... I'm not sure what you mean by "... I just make sure that my phone died...."?

after I did the update (which came from the Carrie) I've been getting that error. then I rebooted my phone the factory reset my phone thinking it would fix the problem it didn't. Cause every time I turn my phone off an turn it back on That same error comes back. So what i need to do is do a roll back to the update I had before.

No you don't - You need to Boot into the Stock Recovery - Volume key to select Factory Reset - Volume key to select Yes - Power key to Execute the Factory Reset - Volume key to select Wipe Caches - Power key to Execute - Volume key to Select Reboot.
Nothing that you changed from the time you got the phone will be left on your phone.
The Firmware version displayed in the screen shot below is working perfectly now.

Well I'm sure that you understand that I have no way of knowing how experienced you are - So I'm erring on the side of caution ?
You might want to call your Carrier's Tech support... There's no reason why you're continuing to get a System UI error.

Did you try this, it must work (use root explorer)
open file "factorymode" in efs/factoryApp directory, it probabely says "off", change to "on" (yes "on" is the correct setting to turn it off), then save
reboot

Its already "on"
Yes finally I'm deleting factorymode_fb.apk from /system/app and it works normally again
But still, everytime I reboot/turning off and on the device, the message "factory mode is on!!!" still popping out, but yeah everything still worked fine, just annoying message everytime I'm rebooting the device. Quite strange tho.

Did you manage to fix this problem?
I had the same thing happen to my i9500 after reloading stock firmware. I had a backup of the EFS folder and after restoring it I still got pop ups from the factory test.
I checked the factoryapp file and it was already set to on. I changed permissions on the file using root browser (basically selected all the check boxes), rebooted and factory test stopped coming up and my lock screen and reboot screen was back
If you already fixed the problem ignore post LOL

Camera GT-I9505 don't work!

Hi, the problem is that I can not use the camera of S4. The first day was fine but suddenly stopped working. When I open the app the screen stays black with buttons and options of the camera and when I press responds to 10 sec.
Occasionally the camera is perfect, so it must be a problem with Software ... I have restored the Stock Roms from Kies, Odin, etc.. donot what else to do ...
Any suggestions? regards
*#34971539# and try reflashing camera firmware, it's the first option i think, if that doesn't work then it's a problem with your camera module.
Hi, it seems that magically risen camera and goes all perfect and super-fluid, thanks for the interest.
A greeting from Spain

The bootloader thing sucks... Don't think I will be updating. They shouldn't force Knox on all consumers. Previously, I've seen it marketed towards corporate users for tighter security, but on ordinary consumers? It just doesn't make sense.

Visually I see nothing new or different. Performance wise it's responding quicker. I haven't factory reset it yet. Waiting to see if it is necessary.
Battery Drain
Anyone else, other than StaticMoot and myself, seeing quicker battery drain with 5.1.1?
Further research http://www.sammobile.com/2015/07/17...ting-you-on-your-galaxy-s6-or-galaxy-s6-edge/.... shows that plenty of people are suffering from faster drain now. Solutions? Factory wipe? Should I post a new thread? Any ideas?

So did you factory reset and keep the old/stock android version, or did you factory reset and then upgrade again? My battery life has been absolutely terrible ever since the first update back in like March or April. Maybe a factory reset would help with that.

Were you rooted or just on plain old stock?
Best way I know to fix is via a PC, using Odin to load stock firmware from Verizon.
Or, you may be able to get a company Verizon store (not a verizon reseller) to reflash it.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
It's on a Un- rooted stock Verizon 4.4.4. Going to Verizon probably out the question, finished contract and went to net 10. I can get phone in download mode (volume down, power, home button) I tried Odin but it failed also. But I may have been doing something wrong. Not real knowleable on these things. Does anybody have a link to stock Verizon 4.4.4? Another thing, my pc is not recognizing my phone now also.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.
They also have a link for Odin and how to use it.

I can't read your mind... Tell me what you did and tell me if you enabled usb debugging and what version of Odin and which "slot" you put the firmware and if you have unzipped the firmware so odin sees a xxxx.tar.md5 file

Odin does work... Apparently you don't.
I can't read your mind... Tell me what you did and tell me if you enabled usb debugging and what version of Odin and which "slot" you put the firmware and if you have unzipped the firmware so odin sees a xxxx.tar.md5 file

I wasn't getting smart... The comment "odin doesn't work" means nothing just like " I got it to work" means nothing.
Other people can't read your messages and learn anything, or give you any advice.
If you had said... I tried xxx and got this error yyy then someone reading your post can suggest changes to what you are doing.
If you had said... I now did this instead and it worked... Then some other user could read your post and learn perhaps how to solve their problem all by themselves.

This is what you said.
(Odin doesn't work....Apparently you don't.).That's making a smart remark at me.
Its no problem.
How I got it to work was to use the stock 01 lollipop Rom not the 06.I think that's what you call them.

Yes it's the U.S. variant. What carrier are you on?

I use the phone on AT&T although i have Google Fi (Tmobile, Sprint, etc) as well. the carrier makes a difference when updating?

Sometimes it does. Just a couple questions though:
1. Are you 100% sure you're on B138 and not B183?
2. Are you able to manually check for updates?
3. Are you checking for updates over LTE, WiFi, or both?

138 confirmed. Doing manually and auto, and on wifi and cellular.
I have tried on ATT and Tmo. At some point i was receiving the update but it would fail, After about the third time it stopped prompting me to update. I was wondering how to reset the update counter?

You may end up having to do what I did which was returning to complete stock. Are you currently rooted?

I don't think you can get OTA's when rooted.

I think i know what i did. during the process of rooting, once i acquired root, i was still @ 138 when i was prompted. I realized that the hardware and public zip i hadn't flashed as part of the process, and i grabbed the 183 from some site, and flashed them before the update. so it appears that the os thinks i'm at 138, i maybe @ 183 without the system img... how can i flash 183 manually thru twrp, as it fails when i try.

That I have no idea about. Flashing is completely different on this phone compared to what I'm used to. Ever since I used FunkyHuawei to restore mine I haven't even rooted it or anything.

I also cannot get fastboot to work which makes me suspect something is amiss somewhere... also the e-recovery doesn't work making this worse.
