Australian (xsa) new update??? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

The Australian Version of S8+ (SM-G955F- XSA) had no firmware update ( AQG5), however, I just notice on Sammobile that there is update AQG7. according to the code of the update, it's more current than AQG5. and was released 2 days before AQG5.

at the moment there are no rooms or any updated kernels to support this. was wondering if the devs were aware of this

3 days ago i attempted to install twrp and root to an s8 950f in australia installed with that update, the AQG7. Needless to say all attempts failed, luckily it left the device unharmed. For the last 72hrs ive attempted to find a solution. Thankyou for observation. You have given me an answer. Patience, till someone better than i solves this hurdle.

Hi,
Same thing happened to me. There are 3 problems;
First is that you do not have enouch battery power to run RDS.
Second is that you have to load SBF file again with RDSLite.
Third is that you have to unlock your bootloader not to have the same situation.
But to make you feel happy, I can say that your phone is not bricked.
We shall go step by step for your problems. First of all, do you have second battery or can you supply it because it is necessary to overcome second and third problem ?

Hi,
Please use search.
Thanks,
I'm having the same problem "failed to boot 2". Minus the battery part.
I did all the following steps a few months ago to update to the new gingerbread firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
Claims I would have an unlocked bootloader, root, and CWM. Which, I have root, CWM, and evidently still on a locked bootloader per a post I read on androidforums.
I'm lost as I've been reading so much that I've done confused myself on what I should actually do, and feel worse off than I was before I started reading.
Overall, my phone works fine. I just wanted to flash a different ROM. I'm just not sure where to start to fix my problem (redo all the steps in the post I linked up, or flash a whole other SBF file). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Instead of using OTA, you can manually flash your phone to 4.4.2 using the stock Google rom.

You'll need to unlock the phone's bootloader and reboot before continuing.

ROOT S5 Mini Duos (Maybe working on other Samsung devices) with Z4root !

So, my friend got an S5 mini for chrismas and he wanted to root it so he tried everything. One morning he told me that he managed to root it with z4root but he restarted his phone and he lost the root. I didn't really believe him but I told him to continue trying and when it will be succesful send me a message. After some research a got to know that there's just one way to root to flash an older firmware with Odin, but as I read it can set Knox to 0x1 so I told him to stop trying. But this evening he sent me this picture:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And told me that he was just playing with z4root and it worked again.
After some hours of unsuccesful tries, we found the working method, to make something with it. Install SuperSU from Play Store (or if it's installed, then just run it) and let it install su with the "Normal" method and also let it disable Knox. And it worked! Proof:
But unfortunately it sets the Phone Status to Custom:
("Eszköz állapota" = "Phone status" and "Egyedi" = "Custom")
I am not really familiar with Samsung phones, so could you please tell me if there's a way to set it back to Official? (Maybe with Wanam Xposed)
You need an original firmware
You have to use Odin and the original firmware that you can find on the web
you flash the original firmware and everything will be as your friend bought the phone except for the root that you will lose.

ATT ota update today (10/9)

I am getting an ota update from ATT right now. It is 697.51 MB.
@rvb1, any details? Screenshots, changelog?
I'm also receiving the update hope it's 5.1
Downloading now, will update...
I can confirm it is the 5.1.1 update. The difference in how the phone is performing is spectacular!
It's 5.1.1
I took it this morning and can confirm the it is 5.1.1.
I've been slammed at work today, so I haven't had an opportunity to screw around with it yet.
Took 8 hours to download. It's 5.1.1.
Mine only took less than an hour to download.
THANK YOU & CONGRATULATIONS TO AT&T FOR RELEASING THE NEW LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 UPDATE FOR THE NOTE 4 & THE NOTE EDGE ON OCTOBER 9TH 2015, MUCH NEEDED.
GO GET YOURS & TELL US WHAT YOU THINK OF IT

I tried downloading 3 times. Each time it reboots and says install interrupted, unable to update. Seems many are having the same problem.
Yep, same error here. I wonder if the people having the problem have their phones encrypted? Mine is, and fails every time.. :crying:
So, once you guys get updated, I highly recommend doing a factory reset afterwards. My battery drain I had after the update is gone now. The phone isn't getting hot anymore either.

I contacted AT&T and they suggested it. If you have not been able to update, clear your cache and remove a few apps. I did that and now I have 5.1.1.

Yes, both models use the same TWRP. "jfltespr" is what is under I believe.
