I just bought a galaxy s8 plus phone. The Wi-Fi keeps saying turning on, but doesn't actually turn on. It's not my router because I can get my galaxy s7 phone to connect no issue. It's a Samsung G955U and 7.0
Any thoughts?
You can try a factor y reset and or stock firmware
Reinstall. Sometimes stock can be broken as well.

First you need your firmware. Which can be found in about phone and baseband.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
This is for the U or snapdragon. If yours is differ click firmwares and type in your model select your carriers firmware from the list

Mine is Verizon. SnapDragonG955U. I found the firmware for my phone. Can you direct me to the thread where I can flash the firmware for this phone? Ive found a thread for rooting that is part cyborg. It looks like I can use that to root the phone. But I need to reflash the stock firmware first.

You put ap bl and co in respective slots in Odin. And I use the home csc in csc slot. Flash all together

Only other thing I know to do is try a couple firmwares and maybe one of the combo files around. If none of that works then a ram with Sammy may be the only option. As this is about everything you can try on your end.
Unless some one else wants to chime in with something I didn't think of.
Ps I had this happen on my LG g3. Camera could not connect. Flash many roms. Flash this that. Nothing. And all because they used apparently the same base I had. I bricked. Or something downloaded a new firmware from a new site and flashed and bam. No camera issue from there on out

So I am currently on the CM10.1 nightlies on my Canadian N8010. I'm now trying to reflash the stock rom back onto it, but I'm not sure which one to flash. samfirmware has stock roms for almost every contry, except for teh Canadian one. Does anyone know which rom i should be flashing, ie is there no Canadian one, and where i should find it?

you could try using a different language. but i dont know if it can damage your tablet.
Sock roms are interchangeable through regions. That's how most people got JB when it wa first released for Germany only....
Just be aware however that flashing a stock rom will change your CSC (region code), you will need to change back with the CSC Changer app available in app store HOWEVER, make sure to backup the contents on your Internal memory first or you will loose it.
I put the wrong (country version) firmware when flashing the device from a custom rom. I put a UAE firmware for a Vietnam device. It crashes multiple times and i loose data signal.
Now when i flash the device with the right firmware, it completely installs and when i restart the device, nothing happens, its still the same old UAE kernal in the device. CWM also wont flash. A thread already exists but i think the solution is applied only for the Verizon version. How do i fix this?

Sprint s6 edge it was boot looping only staying in Android for maybe 3-5 mins at a time. So i tried to flash it. I may have flashed 5.0.x to it. Now when I try to flash I can flash cm.bin, sboot and it always dies on boot.img. I really need some guidance on what i should try next.
Looking around shows boot.img not flashing is possibly the kernel but I am having trouble finding one that it will let me flash.

Since you were on 5.1.1 I don't think you would have any trouble Odining the stock ROM onto the phone. I've done it a few times and it worked OK. After you push the stock ROM you can root it if you want to.

Well the problem is it won't flash past boot.img
As soon as boot.img is started it goes a green bar on Oden about 3/4 of the way and then goes FAILED! and oden disconnects the device.

It worked for me. I have a friend who did the same thing and thought the phone was a gonner. I told her I'd give it a try and I was able to Odin (v.3.10.6) to OF7, took the OTA to OH1 and flashed Wicked One SS v.3.0 from @dazednconfused and she says it's running perfect.

the latest one. I've seen various other flashing posts saying you should use a slightly older Oden.
Also side rant. I did a chat with samsung support and they said the Smart Switch recovery doesn't work with the S6? I cannot get it to verify the serial number of my phone (s6) and the broken one (s6 e)

So far as I know, flashing stock samsung firmware will NOT trip Knox
If it trips Knox, then it will be up to the repair centre the phone goes to and the carrier, regardless of EU, UK or any other LAW as Knox trip does invalidate warranty. Just because you are lucky enough to get a phone fixed after it's had custom software on does not make it the norm. And if you're refused warranty, good luck challenging it, Europe or not.
As for going back to 5.1.1 I heard it wasn't possible without breaking Knox.

Have you had any luck? I want to as well because my battery is draining like 40% faster now that I upgraded. That and there's a few bugs that I can't get rid of that bother me quite a bit.
I've tried the various guides online using Odin3 and the ROMs from SamMobile but I can't get it to not fail. I've factory restored it multiple times and tried all of the updates to Odin 3.10. I can't get any of it to work and It's making me mad! I've tried two different PCs, made sure the drivers for reading the phones are updated and even multiple USB cords! I just want Lolipop back so I can enjoy my phone and not have it be dead halfway through my day!

Hi,
Flashing ROM from sammobile never worked for me. This is what I did.
Download the latest 5.1.1 bootloader, modem and TWRP 3.0 for your model. Flash them in odin after putting them in respective locations. If successful, the phone boots into recovery, where you can restore a 5.1.1 backup if you have any. If you don't have a backup, see that you have a ROM file ready in the phone to flash.

Somebody knows which??
Downgrade not work for me, bootlop, no recovery mode for wipe after flash, only download mode. Knox not trip.

Afaik you can only get back stock recovery by flashing stock firmware via Odin or Heimdall.
Everything will be wiped doing that.

Well, as you've already flashed TWRP you have some experience already.
Use Samfirm_reborn.0.3.6.3 to download multiple! (by checking "binary nature") part stock firmware.
Get device into download mode and flash the files (Ap to AP, bl to BL, aso) in Odin 3.14 and above.

Hi there again bmwdroid,
So I've succeeded on installing the stock recovery system on my Galaxy Note, but the main reason that i wanted to "restore" it was to recover Samsung Knox encryption and regain access to the Samsung Pay and Pass functionnalities. So do U know if it's possible to solve it without sending to a Samsung authorized support or that's the only way to regain access to those functions? And just one more thing I've downloaded the right files from Samfirm_reborn.0.3.6 as U said it and flashed the right files(AP and BL), but I've asked myself if it's needed to flash the other ones (CP, CSC_OWO and HOME_CSC_OWO) and if it's needed where do I flash the CSC_OWO and the HOME_CSC_OWO since I can't flash two CSC files in the same flashing port.
Once again thank U for the support and I hope U can answer these questions.

Well I probably can't answer all but will try to.
If Knox has been triggered there is afaik no way to untrigger it again as it's a hardware switch.
You only need one CSC.
Can't remember which of the 2 will let you keep your DATA .
Edit: found it. That was easy.
