Did they block Samsung pay with rooted phones?

I can't get into Samsung pay now on my rooted Nexus 6 and it tells me it is because my device is rooted. Any workarounds? I know it used to work with my phone before while rooted....

S8 snapdragon vs exynos

Hey i want to buy a s8 and i m using onplus 3t..
I want root and roms.. Which one should i go for?

Exynos because they already has System-less root

Definitely Exynos for XDA mods and fun!

can you please confirm if the problem with the gpu performance of the exynos can be resolved..i mean if you want to emulate dolphin emulator, you basically can't because the bad driver implementation

This is probably a really dumb question, but i need to know... How do you make sure you order a phone that's got Exynos & not snapdragon?

[I wish we had] Root for s8 and s8+ (Snapdragon variants)

So it looks like chainfire has developed a root for the Snapdragon variants of the s8 using CF Auto root. Still no unlocked bootloader or TWRP but it's a start.

Check my screen shot below. This is for Snapdragon

I'm guessing it will block samsung pay from working?

This doesn't look like it's for Snapdragon... THIS IS NOT FOR SNAP DRAGON! Do not use this otherwise bye bye device!!

Root will be out by the end of this week. Don't worry about it.

The EngBoot.img will be released within the next couple days. That means that root will come soon after that.

Delete this thread. People have already talked about this so much. Those files were released by a bot that generates it for any device. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, flashing this will fail. You're essentially baiting people and wasting their time.

Not going to buy it not worth the hassle and if everyone look the the gsmfourm they have it posted for the open public I see no reason to use it because the bootloader are locked not point what so ever

So where is it...???

Root DOES exist on the S8 Plus CAN and US variants
I just went on Chainfire's website and the root DOES exist.
Just do CTRL + F or Command +F for Macs and type in the Model Number. In my case it was the G955W. So yes the OP is right and yes there is a root out for all S8 Plus devices for Snapdragon variants.
And no this is not a bot that generates it, this is the real thing.

:fingers-crossed:

Oreo for LG Flex 2

I found this link http://www.aosprom.com/2017/11/update-lg-g-flex-2-to-android-oreo.html
It seems to offer a way to import Oreo to LG Flex 2.
Can anyone tell if this is for real?

Fake

I'm running oreo right now on my G Flex 2

petraru1 is a senior member with 501 posts and 358 thanksmeter. I dont think he tries to fool anyone. Lets wait to see what he has to say. I have to admit that the site with the oreo rom seems legit (i have come across others that you could tell that they are fake).

Ok after waiting a few days i now have come to believe that petraru1 is full of s....t. Since bootloaders are still locked there is no way to import anything customized, as far as i know. So i guess there is no way this oreo rom is for real.

I was obviously trolling, forget about updates for this phone, it will never happen.
You can check for updates here http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/ just enter imei or search for your country or model. And i am not trolling now.

I've read the instructions, and the fact that is says "Don't bother to Google or search for this, because I have uploaded it for you." makes me thinking that it's not real at all. Also, it would have been posted on XDA before that article, so no, I don't think so, But you can try

These alphas have been out for a while.

Exynos?

Can I flash on SM-G9650 Snapdragon version?

ZRJ7 is up on firmware.science
You need to be on ARI6 to flash, and it has to be US snapdragon.

It's very smooth and comes with November security patches. Must be from the future.
