I WILL BE SHOWING MY LOVE YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT..I WAS READY TO GIVE UP...THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH.!!!!!

It WORKED!!! I am not "techie", but I followed the instructions step-by-step.I pressed pause and replay several times, but I got it. I did noticed that the working code for the US is *#0808#. This is my very first review of anything, I wanted to assure everyone that It does work. Thank you Michael Ocampo!
susan allen I really appreciate that you took the time to leave a review ensuring everyone that this worked for you, I appreciate that you're very first review was on my video, it's really nice from you! enjoy your phone! cheers!
Thanks a lot bro for this video it really work thanks for other android users out there yes this video really work you just have to have time and patients that's all
This shit worked! Thanks so much for sharing. My S8 was still on Android 7 and I could follow all the steps without issues. I will send you some $ via Paypal, you deserve it.
Michael Ocampo when i click the update their is a pop up shows.....update sasmung keyboard? The app will close when you update it.save any unsaves data beforr updating When u click that...its stuck already and after a minute is shows already installed latest update..help me please....
To anyone that has a hard time with their S8+ being stuck on "updates" on the samsung keyboard, you have to flash your firmware back to last years Android using Odin first and then you can follow the steps in this video.
Hi I've been trying to follow the tutorial but when I update the keyboard it updates without asking permission, I've cleared the cache and done another factory reset and it gives me the option to update again but still doesn't ask permission. Do you have any advice on how I can get round this?
Just tried following step by step but when I get to the "About Samsung Keyboard" it's not highlighted for me to use. It seems to me that this little trick has been patched.
Scratch that. I got around it by flashing an older firmware. I still have an issue with the keyboard update button. it does nothing and then greys out.
Hi, sorry about the late reply. I didn't have the mic button in the keyboard in order to get into the settings at the beginning. I then flashed an older 7.0 firmware though and I was able to get it. I still couldn't get passed the keyboard update screen though. It said there was an update available but pressing the update button did nothing. Eventually I got past it by using the bluetooth headset method mixed with your method here. Basically, you call an emergency number and quickly launch bluetooth to pair a headset. Once thats done, you can just use the bluetooth headset to prompt a voice action and say "Chrome" or whatever. It'll load the google assistant results and you can search in the top bar for the calculator. From there on, I was able to resume following your instructions and get past the lock. Thanks for your help. :)
It says the latest version already installed, even after performing wipe data factory reset through recovery. Any workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
when i put in the second code it does nothing I've tried both ##366633# and *#0808# when i put in ##366633# it just goes plank and the second code does nothing at all Please advise
@Michael Ocampo, if I can´t access the "about samsung keybord" there is not much to do right, the phone was purchased June 2018... please help if possible
Can you please help me .? When I setup up Samsung usb driver it just says it’s installed but when I click on the application it just takes me back to the setup part and I don’t know what to do.? Plz help me .?
Have the sg-955u. Tutorial works great, I just did the factory reset in the binary section and then continued on with the tutorial (like suggested in some of the other comments). Worked like a champ!
@@Carlos-ut1ki Sadly no, I traded the phone in for an Iphone 6s, really bummed out cause I wanted to use the phone but I guess I'll just buy a s9 or even the s8+ in the future.
This is outdated now, couldnt even get to the 'Verify your Account' part. After gaining internet access, it would go to next page and load for one second then say could not connect... multiple trys
I followed all your process, however my computer does not recognize the phone as a device and it doesnt give me the option on the phone to "allow USB debugging" . What should I do now? Ive already installed the driver for the phone and everything just as in your video. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Michel Ocampo sorry if this is a dumb question but what's the first command? I tried using both codes for us and international phone thanks in advance)
Mau Duran there is no dumb questions, we are all here to learn something new, the first command would be the text that I copy and paste in the minute 9:25 of the video. do the same and after that your phone should ask you if you want to connect to the pc. please let me know if you have any questions
Michel Ocampo I'm stuck at minute 8:30 as my computer does not recognize my phone as a device it just charges the phone but it is not "connected" as a device, as for the code the one for the US did work for me. ☹
Hey, Mike, thanks for your work! I am running into an issue as well. When I click on the Update button for the Samsung Keyboard, it updates it without taking me to the app screen. It just tells me that it has successfully been installed! Any chance you could look into this?
Hi. I have samsung s8. after I enter *#0808# i have option to select CP or AP. which one i choose. if I was to choose AP then few other options come up. Which one to select MTP+ADB or RNDIS+ADB or RNDIS +ACM+DM or RNDIS +ACM+DM +ADB or DM+ACM+ADB ?? FYI- i have tried all option still i dont get the usb debugging popo up. PLS HELP.
When clicking update the phone just stays on the update screen then skips to the frp lock screen. When checking the keyboard update again it successfully updated without asking any terms or conditions.. Reset and wiped in recovery mode and tried a second time to the same result twice. It's possible that your method has been patched. Know any other methods?
when I plugged in the phone to computer it just made a sound but did not give me any options on the phone like yours did in the video. what shall I do? Thanks in advance
Kristine Gavare i'm glad it worked for you! idk if you can help me and give the video a thumbs up and subscribe and let me know if you have any questions, thank you and enjoy your phone! :)
Michel Ocampo Hi, please help me, on the screen: AP or CP: MTR +ADB; RNDIS + ADB; RNDIS + ACM + DM; RNDIS + ACM + DM + ADB; DM + ACM + ADB, what I can do?)
mine is saying "Slow Charging" everytime I plug it in after I changed the USB Setting to "DM+Modem+ADB", Why is that? Could it be that I am using aftermarket USB C cable?
Robert Fuentes yes, the cable has a lot to do with that and also it could be the actual usb port of your pc, restart the computer and use a different usb port and cable
I am sorry that this method didn't work for you, I would like to emphasize that this method work only on 7.0, if you see the "about samsung keyboard" greyed out that means that you have a higher version. I will be uploading another method in less than 24hrs with a different method and bypass the greyed out problem, stay tuned, thank you
Oh no worries. Was just letting other viewers know ahead of time that it may be outdated for them. Really appreciate your helpful videos though! I got my issue sorted by temporarily resetting the email that was associated with the phone, signing in, adding my google account and then removing the existing account. Thank you for helping anyways though!

Hello, Boss, I tried both numbers and can't get to the DM mode any updates?
I have the Samsung Galaxy S8 for AT&T. I can do everything you can but it doesn't allow me to go to the calculator though. What else can I do?
Anyone else missing the Mic button in the keyboard?
What language/region are you using OP?
Thanks.
Cpt MishMash VonRandom is the mic botton missing whike removing the frp or in general?
Scratch that.
