I'm also kinda confused with those versions of FW.

I've got US Galaxy S9 T-Mobile branded (960U), which I successfully "unlocked" right after purchase. I still had T-Mobile splash screen as well as their bloatware, but I could use my phone with any other US SIM. I didn't liked all that bloatware, so I just flashed 960U1 firmware, although I was not sure about all those "CSC" things (coming from HTC devices). Still can't find proper table with explanation of those CSC. Probably I've flashed XAR variant... At this moment my FW version (from FOTA check screen) says G960U1UEU1ARBG/G960U1OYM1ARGB/G960U1UEU1ARGB. Is it proper US unlocked version of FW or I've messed up something? I'm still using T-Mobile but I just want to get as stockish look as possible, without all carrier bloatware. Currently, WiFi calling works for me, but not video calling that was present on initial T-Mobile FW on my phone.

What is XAR in FW downloads? Why there are two T-Mobile 960U FW versions? Why there is also T-Mobile 960U1 FW?

Hey guys I note that OP states that if you have the S9 (G960F) then you should only use the OXM firmware, now I currently have that firmware on my phone but in the UK, EE does not allow 4g calling on that firmware.

Just curious if I'm missing something or is the OXM firmware the best apart from using EE and their 4g calling?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I've bought an 960U in the USA, and looking to flash the Brazilian ROM, but the variant used here is the 9600. Can I Flash It?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] bhxtyrant:
Hello,

I am very new to all this. This is my first Android phone (Galaxy S9 SM-G960F) purchased from an ebay seller to use with a T-Mobile account. It is unlocked but it is missing the wifi calling feature and volte. I was hoping to flash it to the T-Mobile UI ROM in post 1 using Odin 3.13.1 but it keeps failing. I have been reading a lot of threads so my question is am I doing everything correctly or will that particular ROM not work on the G960F model? Thanks for any help
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] vladmir:
You have a international model F with a exynos processor and you tried flash a US model U with a snapdragon processor.

Off course it will fail!!!

Is it okay if I install this OXM firmware to make it brand new? I'm from México so I use a mexican sim.

Another potentially daft question here. I have the UK Vodafone vodafone version of the phone and am unlocking it. I also would prefer to move over to stock UK unlocked firmware, which appears to be G960FXXU1BRF8 for BTU (although query - what is the difference between XEU and BTU - is it still just that BTU is for handsets that come directly from samsung?)

If I flash with ODIN, will I trip Knox and will I get OTA updates in the future?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] itskapil:
You can install XEU firmware. Your device's CSC will remain unchanged when you select HOME_CSC file in the CSC tab. Only when you select the CSC file in place of HOME_CSC file, Odin will install the XEU CSC.

Select HOME_CSC doesn't change the CSC, that is it.

So if I don't change the csc i wont be able to get ota updates from xeu right?

Flashed my UK '3' S9 with the firmware linked in the first post (SM-G960F (single SIM) )

All appeared to work fine

But now I have the dreaded 'no entry' sign rather than mobile network bars.

Doesn't even seem to know the sim is in.

Tried reflashing again.

Tried resetting mobile network

I have fixed the issue now by following this tutorial and downloading an alternative Firmware version.

Would be interested to know if the firmware linked in the first post is meant for UK, because it did not seem to work for me.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] whbisondtr:
Your bootloader number is the 5th to the last number in the firmware. So with the one you tried to flash, G960U1UEU"1"ARBG, the 1 is your bootloader number (in quotes). You can't flash anything below that number, for example if the last 5 are 3ABCD your bootloader would be 3. Either flash with the same number or higher, but you can never flash backwards.

[General Questions and Answers] poppatm:
I purchased an unlocked Samsung S7 Edge phone that was previously sold by Verizon model SM-G935V. I factory reset the phone and loaded the latest stock T-Mobile ROM using ODIN. The phone now reports the phone as model SM-G935T and loads the T-Mobile logo during boot instead of the Verizon logo. However, I did experience two problems with the T-Mobile ROM. The first, was trying to log into my Wi-Fi network. The virtual keyboard would not allow me to enter uppercase characters. To bypass this problem I created a guest account on my router using only lowercase and numeric characters. The second problem was two-fold. After the factory reset, Google insisted that to continue I must sign-in to my Google account. When trying to enter my username all characters would type on top of each other, the cursor would never advance so I could not enter a username. To solve this I answered that I forgot username and selected the option for Google to text me my username. I selected my username which brought me to the second part of this problem - password. Again, the cursor would not advance nor could I enter uppercase characters even thou when the shift key was active, the characters on the keyboard where displayed as uppercase but typed in lowercase. To get by this problem, I selected the option, forgot password, and had Google send me a text to allow me to reset the PW that I did in all lowercase.

The problems continued after booting. The four browsers I tried (Samsung, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera) all had the same problem. The cursor would not advance. To solve this, I downloaded Google keyboard from the Play Store to replace the stock Samsung keyboard. This fixed the problem of cursor not advancing but sites that required a password would not accept uppercase characters. Some sites were fixed after I downloaded Classic keyboard. To get by the password problem I used copy and paste from a notepad application to enter password for those sites that still had problems of not accepting uppercase or cursor not advancing.

Does anyone know of a solution to fix the cursor not advancing? Although in some respects security is stronger as who would guess that a person needs to copy and paste to type uppercase characters.

PS No problems occur when using a Verizon stock rom download. Note however that a T-Mobile SM-G935T download zip file contains only a BL & AP file, whereas the Verizon SM-G935V zip file contains BL, AP, CP, and CSC files. The keyboard only works after installing the CSC file, otherwise it exhibits the same symptoms as the T-Mobile zip file.

Hi all, I updated to the latest firmware to install Lineage 15.1. But after installing it I wanted to go back to MIUI so I restored a previous made backup with TRP. It is stuck in a loop it never gets out. I can install Lineage 15.i again so m phone isn't bricked, but i just want to go back to MIUI which I can't. Even a fresh installed MIUI rom will not load anymore, and so wont my backup as I mentioned. What is the case here. There must be something I am missing.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] predragiPredrag:
Save that backup on you HDD and try with older TWRP e.g. 3.2.1.0, since I don't know if flashing diff TWRP will damage that backup.

https://dl.twrp.me/capricorn/

Maybe MIUI wont flash using latest TWRP 3.2.1.1

P.S. Fastbook method always works :D but you lose twrp and get stuck with clean MIUI, so whole process with custom bootloaders needs to be done from the start.

[Nook Touch General] gino23:
So here's my issue. I transfered an epub file to my Nook Glowlight 3 using calibre, but when i ejected the device and started using the Nook. Not only did it not recognize my Epub file, the device slowed to a crawl! I restarted my Nook to see if this would fix the issue and now it's stuck at an infinite loading screen. I have tried hard resetting by holding the power button, but it keeps rebooting to an infinite loading screen. Could my device be possibly bricked? I think the issue might have been that I transfered a wrong type of epub file into the nook (the file was imported using calibre), which is incompatible with the nook software.

Any help would be appreciated, how do i get out of this infinite loading screen! I just want to be able to use my device again :/

Thanks.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
No, it sounds like you did something else.

Do you have ADB working? Do:

# ps|grep u0 [color="red"]<- that's a zero[/color]

Do you see a bunch of processes?

That means that the Android subsystem is mostly running ok.

Is your launcher listed?

# getprop|grep bootanim

What does bn.bootanim.exit and service.bootanim.exit say?

You can disable the bootanimation entirely:

# mount -o rw,remount /system
# cd /system/bin
# mv bootanimation bootanimation.bak
# reboot

Can you start stuff?

# am start -n com.android.settings/.Settings
[Nook Touch General] smokes2345:
I'm actually having a *very* similar problem *only* when i have a 'real' launcher installed. In this case i'm using ReLaunchX, a launcher/file manager built for epaper devices. During boot the screen seems to be stuck on the boot animation. Here are some of the values from the commands you've reccomended to the OP:

shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ ps|grep u0
u0_a2 2501 2080 321148 24152 ffffffff 00000000 S com.android.systemui
u0_a3 2517 2080 449348 87660 ffffffff 00000000 S com.nook.partner
u0_a0 2588 2080 319964 24852 ffffffff 00000000 S android.process.media
shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ getprop|grep bootanim
[init.svc.bootanim]: [running]
[service.bootanim.exit]: [1]
shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ am start -n com.android.settings/.Settings
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.settings/.Settings }

I have gone through the process of installing the launcher, rebooting, waiting for boot anim to finish (for up to 15-20 minutes), removing my launcher through adb, rebooting then re-installing the launcher. The launcher is the only thing that i've been chaning and it gets stuck on reboot *everytime* with the launcher installed.

P.S. I don't have root and i'm not interested in root, just the launcher and my safari queue app
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If you have something taking over the Home intent, then the B&N stuff doesn't run.

The B&N stuff has the bootanimation termination hijacked.

Therefore the bootanimation will run for ever.

This will stop the bootanimation (just as a test).

$ setprop bn.bootanim.exit 1

You could write an app to do this.

You could modify the Glow3 bootanimation.

You could replace the Glow3 bootanimation with the Glow2 bootanimation.

You could delete the bootanimation.
[Nook Touch General] smokes2345:
Wouldn't these options require root?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, writing an app wouldn't need any special privilege, but it would be a round-about way to do it.

There's root & root & root. There's different degrees:

Disable all security on your normal boot image

Install a "superuser" app on your normal boot image to allow some apps to run as root

Set ro.secure to 0 to allow root ADB access

Set ro.debuggable to 1 to allow ADB to reconnect as root

Use a rooted recovery image to allow modification of your normal boot image

Load a rooted image over fastboot to allow modification of your normal boot image

Use the hardware root console that's already inside the Nook case

I wouldn't do #1, #2.

The other options don't really undermine security.

#7 requires opening the case.
[Nook Touch General] dotancohen:
Hi Renate! I've tried to set these settings on a Glowlight 3, but as they don't seem to have effect might they require a pre-existing root to run them?

DESKTOP:~$ adb shell
shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ setprop ro.secure 0
shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ setprop ro.debuggable 1
shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ mount -o rw,remount /system
mount: Operation not permitted
255|shell@ntx_6sl:/ $

And just for good measure:

DESKTOP:~$ adb shell
shell@ntx_6sl:/ $ su
/system/bin/sh: su: not found

Thank you for pointing me in any direction.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
All the "ro.whatever" properties are read-only. They can only be set once.

They are usually already set in init.rc, default.prop or /system/build.prop.

ro.secure is in default.prop which is packed in the ramdisk of the image.

To modify it manually (vs. whatever scripts some people use), you need to pull the image, extract default.prop, text edit it, replace it, push the image.
