Hello guys, this is my first post here so I hope this is the right section.
I recently bought a samsung galaxy s8 plus live demo unit at a decent price.
I searched google and found out that usually these live demo units can't be used as phones as they don't have a GSM antena.
But I also found out that some of them can be used as normal phones.
So my question is if I can use it as a normal phone or how can I find out if it's possible to use it?
Thank you!
Anyone guys?
i have the same problem.. anybody can help?

Hi there
I would like to root my annoying Samsung Note 5. My usb port only charges it does not work with data at all. It has been replaced to no avail. What process / software (ADB?) can I use to root my phone? Once rooted I intend to install TWRP and use a custom rom.
I have tried Kingoroot but it was unsuccessful.
Thanks!

If the USB port doesn't work, the only possible way for you to root the device is by using one of the universal rooting apps like Kingroot and hoping one of them works. You tried Kingroot, now try all of the other apps that do the same thing that Kingroot does.
Other than that, you'll have to get the USB port properly repaired.

It actually stopped working 3 months after I got the phone. It melted the usb cable with all geuine parts. Samsung said tough luck as I bought it in Australia when my other note packed up...so much for warranty.
I have sent to two repair centres both tried genuine parts and neither worked. So it charges but that's it. They said they can't repair the IC. New motherboard $300 USD according to them. My battery life is hopeless with the Samsung bloat. I recently rooted my backup Note 2 and bat life went from 1 day to 2 days.
I tried Kingoroot not kingroot. Is there a list of others I can try? I am prepared to pay for a rooting solution.

Do a Google search for:
"Apps for rooting android without PC"
That will find many different apps, try them all. If they don't work, replace the motherboard, get a new device or do nothing at all.
What is your model number?
Do a Google search for:
"Motherboard replacement for Galaxy Note 5 (your model number)"
They are for sale for an average price of $50 USD(around $30-$90). It isn't that hard to replace the motherboard for yourself. You can find youtube videos that demonstrate how to tear down your model number device and replace the motherboard.

in addition to what @Droidriven had mentioned...
If your a bit Tech savvy...
The Galaxy Note 5 has a separate USB Charging Board that you can purchase from places like ebay from $10 - $25+ depending on who you purchase it from.
The following is an ifixit link with guides and such (including Pictures and Videos) that will give you a sense of the inside breakdown.

The following is an example of a Note 5 USB Charging Board that's listed on ebay (just for example).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Micro-...r-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-5-N920T-F/162676666900?
Just a helpful FYI... I can't guarantee anything either since I've never owned a Note device.
Good Luck!

hmmm....the USB port has its own board separate from the mainboard? That makes it even easier.

My apologies... LMAO!
I just noticed it after I had posted it with an "oh crapola" in mind...
Other than that, to be more cost effective, I can only think of purchasing another Note 5 (same variant of course) with a locked, bricked, etc... Motherboard and try swapping out the motherboards only.

I edited my previous reply, replacing the whole USB board will probably work.
I'm not sure if they tried having just the USB itself replaced or if they tried replacing the board. Replacing the board is definitely a viable option if they haven't already tried it.

With so many individuals, who were either Successful and Unsuccessful in getting this option to appear, this is a real challenge to easily answer.
Even though there's the 7 day waiting period that supposed to be the norm, I feel that Samsung really botched it up.
There's a conversion regarding this on the following thread (that's specific to your device) that may be one of the better places to go and search for an answer and ask if needed.

Hi there people!
I am a bit nostalgic of the old days of Android, and I installed this beauty on my Redmi Note 7 (see screenshot for reference).
However, I remember that back in 2010-2011, a blue version of Microbes.apk was circulating, instead of the version with multicolored cells.
Does anyone know where I can find the apk? It would be awesome to see those blue suckers float aimlessly on this gorgeous screen.
Thanks in advance guys, if you don't do it for me, do it for the sake of old days when bootloader unlocking did not require an email account and Cyanogenmod was still a thing...
Cheers from France!

I wish I knew what the Blue version specifically looked like.
I do remember what the original version looked like back in the stone age but, I don't remember what the blue version looked like (though I remember it being mentioned a zillion years ago LOL! ).
Good Luck!
