Please explain - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Just a quick question and sorry ahead of time if I sound like a schumk, but if I rooted in Nougat can I do updates to Oreo without losing my root? Also can I change to the beta version of PIE without losing root? Please help and explain it to me thanks.

No. No root on Oreo or above. The bootloader we need for rooting is a nougat bootloader.

Hotspot issue after upgrading to 7.1.1, please help.

I have a dual sim reteu with locked bootloader. After upgrading to 7.1.1, my hotspot is not working.
Actually, I didn't check hotspot before 7.1.1.
Anyone with the same problem. Or Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks
You installed beta software, with that comes the risk of losing certain features. Android 7.1.1 hasn't been released officially by Motorola.

Sorry if I changed the subject, I'm still on android 6.0.1 (retla). You mean the OTAs that have posted are soak test? If so, I prefer to keep trying to get the official OTA. But I have the doubt, you mean 7.1.1, maybe the 7.0 that is in the forum if it is stable? If so, you can pass the official OTA link of 7.0. Thanks for your help

Installing Lineage OS 14 from Android Oreo

Hi all!
Maybe it's a silly question or it has been answered somewhere else.
I upgraded my phone to Android 8.0 and I'm experiencing the same issues a lot of other users mentioned (zero RAM available, random app reboots, 10 seconds to open an app, and random reboots).
I was thinking to install Lineage OS but I don't know if it's possible, considering that it's based on Android Nougat and with Oreo I guess the radio, bootloader and other stuff have been upgraded too.
Is it safe to do? Can I downgrade it to Nougat or Lineage?
Thanks a lot!
Nico
I tried it a few days ago... Didn't work
First I had to install stock Nougat then install LOS

None... Just download the Stock ROM from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
and install using the instructions provided
then install the LOS :good:
I think the factory image would be more appropriate. Full, clean flash.
Btw, if you're experiencing issues with 8.0.0, just perform a clean install of the Oreo factory image(or at the very least a factory reset after the update).

Moto z play back to stock with retail rom is possible?

Hello,
I'm considering going back to the stock ROM in my moto z play XT1635-02 retla1st but I would like to know if I would have a problem installing the RETAIL version when receiving OTA's or some other problem.
I currently have the bootloader unlocked and a compilation that is not the official one but I want to remove the root and receive the updates without any inconvenience.
best regards

I do not know if you can downgrade from a 7.1 ROM to a 6.x Stock via RSD and have your phone usable. With some phones if you downgrade to MM you brick it.
If it survives, you would then need to find a way to lock the bootloader.
In the same Android versión it's possible install a retail ROM?

I believe if your phone (bootloaders) is 7.x you can RSD 7.x and if phone is 6.x you can RSD 6.x .

I used this guide today, it worked without any problems. I went from rooted 7.1.1 stock september security patch to 7.1.1 stock november security patch with locked bootloader. OTA december security patch worked as well. I even unlocked the bootloader again and am now rooted with magisk safety net passing

Hi Nxkealen,
Why Do You Want To Downgrade ? Is There Any Specific Reason ?
Android 9 PIE Is Stable With New Look. There Are Many New Features/Improvements Like (Good Battery Performance , Digital WellBeing, ETC)
In Addition To That, I Read That, Downgrade Will Not A Easy Task. Someone Was Complaining That SIMS Issue ETC...

Do not do this, because if you do, you will probably make your device unusable. Read this before: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/help/help-mi-max-3-hard-bricked-anti-roll-t3834769 and mostly this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/how-to/anti-rollback-activated-mi-max-3-t3830448

It is possible to go to 10.0.1.0 Global Oreo or Even 8.11.23 beta Oreo, etc.
You need to unlock bootloader first and then have some flash the firmware by remote EDL. Meaning you have to pay money for that service.
The only Oreo version you cannot go back to is 9.6.6.0, its just not possible because the ARB number is not 4.

This version of Miui does not, because the ARB is active. If you try, you'll probably have a lot of work to do to fix it. Have you tried any rom xiaomi.eu or any GSI? Overall, they are better than the global stock.
