I got a Droid Razr M for an upgrade, Worked great so i rooted it, Still worked great all that day, then i went to sleep and when i woke and the WiFi would not work!
The toggle switch turned a darker gray, When i tap it it turns on then in a split second turns back off.
I have done a Factory Data Reset and then i did a hard reset and then i wiped the hole thing out and re flashed it to its original state. Still would not work!
So as a last resort contact Motorola for support and they tell me that i had rooted my device and there is nothing they can do. I didn't say anything about rooting it so they must be logging all users data. (Invasion of Privacy?)
So i am back here again, Not being able to use WiFi, On a 2GB/M plan. f%$king peace of $#!+.
Nothing else is bad! Its just the wifi!?

It is probably your fault. A broken radio is your burden why do you think they do not want you rooting? The radio partition can get borked very easily. You need to renew it.
Do my restore. See my signature

Ok, SaturnsVoid... so, first, sorry to hear about the problem. Motorola/VZ is giving you BS... rooting won't break your WiFi unless you did something or installed something that would...
What's your current system version?
Have you taken any OTAs since you had it? If not, you may still be able to unlock.
Also, may want to try using WiFi Connection Fixer on the Play Store (requires root...)
If those don't work, try PMing me... I can help you work it out...
This may be a stupid question, but I recently reflashed my device to stock PD8 and I have this cloud icon next to the signal status. It never goes away. It is even haunting my dreams. Pls help

You have to Odin back to stock. You can't just wipe in factory recovery, it still leaves the eng kernel in place.
Well I was on official PG1 firmware , and followed the instructions on how to root I did it and nothing of my stuff got erased neither did I factory reset anything

I removed all traces of the icon in the imsservice.apk and it is still showing up. I'm going to dig into SystemUi.apk and see if it's in there. Will be busy until tomorrow catching Pokemon at a PG meet up, but I'll keep you guys updated.
Yeah that shouldn't be showing up if you're completely stock. IF you still have the eng-kernel then it'll be there no matter what you do unless you either edit the imsservice.apk file or odin back to stock factory rom.

There are threads throughout the forum about removing the rcs icon in the status bar. It shouldn't be too difficult to remove. I was able to do it but I was receiving an "imsservice error" every time I called certain people. Which lead me to believe it wasn't completely effective so I reverted completely back to stock (it was gone) then flashed the engkernel (which brought it back) and from there I simply considered it a small price to pay for root access. Wouldn't you agree?

Hi, here's something from our friends with a Verizon s7 edge, they've written a step by step on how to flash the U firmware and what to do afterwards. What You and us t-mobile users need to flash is SM- G935U (TMO region) firmware which u can find on sammobile.com. Please read the instructions carefully and best of luck with flashing. Cheers!

Keep in mind there's also a lot in here that doesn't pertain especially if you don't need root so be careful people, this as Mag says is for Verizon but the process is the same just make sure you have the T-Mobile files if on T-Mobile. You can download at SamMobile I have a SM-G935T which is now a G35U with the new modem APK1 and have wifi calling and VOLTE in my mobile network settings and ZERO bloat which is why U firmware is desired. It doesn't have any carrier bloat because it's not for any carrier so none have installed all their bloat so it's very fast. You will lose root and everything but can redo it and reroot also.. just make sure you're getting the right files and not flashing VZW on to T-Mobile etc etc. I ALMOST did then realized lol. I Got excited. I was never going to root so none if that mattered but I tried it and after all the suggested tweaks and fixed it still ran unacceptable for me so I'm not rooted at all now. Too buggy and too many weird FCs and errors/bugs so I factory rest and flashed U and new modem and my phone has never been faster even when rooted and CPU setting tweaked etc. (Too many bugs as stated)

No because you're flashing an official firmware not a rom. No root and won't trip Knox as other have reported. This is true for all variants since it's an official firmware.

Prob not. Many people including me have done ALL of the post root modifying to make it run better when rooted with very little success. I tried every single post root method to try and get it stable and nothing made a difference and if it did it sure wasn't stable anyways. So bad that I Reodined the entire thing and started fresh and didn't root. The root is very unstable and simply not worth it. I don't need root for anything I care about anyway and my S7 Edge is plenty fast. and running the U firmware there's no bloat except like 2-3 apps which I can live with and that was one major reason to root anyway (to delete the bloat) so meh to root for me.... If you read back many have reported this. I don't need nor want root and when I saw how bad it ran I immediately re did it all. Now it's lightning fast, I get amazing LTE speeds because if the APK1 MODEM and I'm in one if the 319 cities supporting the 4x4 MIMO LTE that the APJ1 Takes advantage of. My LTE is faster than most people's wifi. So I recommend d regarding the Odin and forgetting about root. It's just too buggy and I'm by no way a noob. Been here fir 10 years so I know what I'm doing and I couldn't get it stable enough even applying every single post root suggestion. It ran like crap and wasn't even usable unfortunately. No offense to the root team whatsoever they achieved root and kudos to them it's just not established enough to be a daily driver sorry to say.
My latest LTE speed abiut 20 mins ago. Not wifi....LTE..LOL it's amazing if yoyre in T-Mobile and you're in one if the cities supporting it. I imagine everywhere in the US will sooner or later it most cities. It's relatively new but I'm getting speeds unheard of. Before this I was getting like 10 mbps download and 8 Mbps upload
Not it's more like 6p-70 and 40-70 depending in where in my city I am. It varies deoending on how close to towers and what not you are if course. But damn it's fast.. wow

is there a way to install this U firmware and then simply root it and not install all the other junk? I love it running U stock with the new modem because it HAULS ass, but I want to root so I can edit the build.prop and since you have to be rooted that's hay I ask. But the root causes all kinds of issues and post -root stuff needs to happen to get it even stable which none worked for me, a few did but it ran horrible so I immediately returned to stock and redid the U firmware. so is the something like a way to just root for file access only without it modifying anything else? I doubt it but don't know much abut the U firmware except it runs amazing until rooted at least from everything I'm reading. a couple peeps claim there's is running amazing even rooted but I have doubts...mine ran like total crap even after applying all the tweaks and kernel settings with Trickster and the like (which I know how to use very well and bought it and have owned and used it for years....any ideas?

The answer to both of these is that since the bootloader is locked, you can't install custom recoveries which makes custom Roms a lot harder (but not impossible!) There's two that are in the Roms subforum (TEK and Echoe) but I've personally found stock U firmware + root to be the fastest/most stable.

Is your reason for "have to have root" for a specific reason or no? This root us really laggy and buggy as hell so if I were you I wouldn't do it. There's no Roms really. Well two I think but it's going to be more if a headache than the benefit of root. No one "has" to have root. What do you need that's so important by rooting. That's silly....

I'm not sure bud. I LOVE the U firmware and the APK1 modem for Tmobile have made my LTE VERY fast and the U firmware as well with ZERO bloat.

Hello, Smart people
I tried to search but couldn't find any proper solution. Is it possible to downgrade S8 running on Android 9, I want to install version 8 on it.
Thanks
i am also interested in doing this. i have had my phone for over a year, i was very careful never to download. the other day it popped up as i was taking a photo, and wham. normally i would have ripped the battery out of the back. but no such chances anymore.
the new os sucks huge. big stupid buttons, changes to the camera, the messages are pure misery.
i am on bootloader build 5. i have tried to use odin several times, only to discover this bootloader number thing on these forums.
im going to be furious if last week i was build 1.
at this point i would consider rooting the phone only out of spite to samsung for not letting me customize my phone anymore.

You can only go back to Android 8 if you have bootloader version 4. Use this code on your phone *#1234 # to know your version of bootloader.

If even OEM boot loader is downgrade is off, can I still do it? If it’s version 4?
Thanks

You do not need to shut down OEM to downgrade! Respect only the bootloader version, otherwise it will brikar the cell phone, downgrade before the April patch as it is coming with bootloader version 5.

how do i shut down oem?
also, i hit the code to get the bootloader version, and all i get is a ussd error.
---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------
damn my bootloader says a bunch of numbers then 5 towards the end.
so that means im on b5.
is there a way to downgrade this to the old software if i am at b5?

Use *#1234# or App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
You do not need to disable OEM to downgrade.
bootloader is
g955usqu5xxxx
again, freaking phone popped up the offer to download at the exaxt same second i clicked to take a pic. thats pure garbage there. now i am on bootloader 5.
this is an s8 i am using, but i have a brand new s9 i have been holding back to use.
i want to fix the s8 before i stash it into storage as my backup.
can i downgrade the os to the former?
if not, if i root the phone, can i downgrade the os?

You can not because Oreo uses bootloader version 4, forcing a downgrade will turn your phone into a brick.

He is right, I did not realize that you use snapdragon and there is yes oreo with version 5 of bootloader so you can do Downgrade normally.
thanks so much for helping guys!
what is the oreo version i have to hunt down.
im on t-mobile.
i tried to backdown using odin, it kept giving me errors. does odin protect the phone lol?
so if i get the proper oreo os, with the boatloader 5, odin will work?
thanks again for helping me out!!!

hey, which one is the one to use? android 8 is oreo?
i tried two 7.0's, and i might have tried the earliest 8.0 on this list.
do i just go higher up, and odin will just bang it in there?
thanks so much again!
I came back to the Oreo, well done system, with fluidity and great performance, Samsung Android Pie is crap.

Version 7.0 uses bootloader version 2, and there is version of Oreo that uses version 2, 3 and 4 of bootloader, do not use these, use this here to have no problems;
