Then you should flash with AP, BL, CP and CSC_ again.

Most possibly it was 2 versions down that I need for the UHD 60 fps to be back on sd recorded, but I guess I can't go back to that, right? I've successfully downgraded to one down , but it can't go to G965FXXU1BRF8 for example, right? Because it is xxu1....
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pamarakos:
Does the firmware contain system apps as well like the camera app?

Or is it possible since the camera may have been updated once , then it wasn't downgraded with the fw downgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
It contains everything maybe not the download mode firmware, but everything else.

Even Camera firmware.

And yes that will be downgraded.

Because the camera firmware is not updated on the camera module it is loaded from the system firmware.

Hello

I have an unlocked SM-G965f. I am on T-mobile. Would flashing the TMO firmware give me VoLTE , or access to band 12? Just wanted to ask before I returned this for a T-Mobile variant

Thanks in advance!

There is no T-Mobile US firmware for the SM-G965F.

G965FXXU2BRH1 and Custom ROM

After I do the following to my unlocked SM-G95F:

Flash G965FXXU2BRH1 through Odin v3.13.1

Enable developer settings

Turn on OEM unlock, erase

Install TWRP

would I be able to flash a custom ROM and root a SM-G95F through TWRP? Any special considerations or tools necessary, such as G965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5.zip, or no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip? Has anyone done this and have any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Yes those are the correct steps to flash TWRP.

Need Help

Hi, I am located in Australia. I rooted my device 2 months back. Everything was going all good. But since last 1 week i started facing some issues. Most of the time the error will pop up on the screen saying "google services has stopped working close app or send feedback". And it will come only for google services like youtube, maps, play store etc. Many times it will be for other apps also like snapchat and whatsapp. So here are the things i did in last 24 hours:

1) Factory Reset - did not solve

2) Unrooted my device following h t t p s : / / highonandroid . com/android-smartphones/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s9-s9-plus-w-stock-firmware/ downloaded stock firmware from here https : / / www . sammobile. com/firmwares/galaxy-s9-plus/SM-G965F/VAU/ I accidentally flashed the wrong firmware (G965FXXS1BRF3 instead of G965FXXU2BRGA) successfully. So at this time my phone was in worse condition got just stuck at rebooting.

3) Opened Smart Switch in my laptop then updated the firmware with it. -- still it did not resolved the issue. Again i flashed it with G965FXXS1BRF3 (because i did not know that i have downloaded the wrong file).

4) Immediately I went to Samsung, the guy told me that "Warranty Void is 1 so it will not cover in the warranty and we have to change the mother board which costs around $400" but he said before that lets try with software first, so he flashed with G965FXXU2BRGA using his Samsung laptop and flashing software. -- Again the phone is at the same stage, working fine but the error pops up on the screen and some times while using the phone or even while not using it the phone restarts.

5) I rebooted in recovery mode, did clear cache partition and then wipe data/factory reset.--- Still in the same condition.

So do you have any idea that how can it be solved? and i have a very slight doubt that it might be because of a liquid damage because i recently bought the screen protector which can be only stick with the glue which comes along and UV rays (https : / / www . aliexpress . com/item/Nano-Liquid-Full-Glue-Tempered-Glass-For-OPPO-Find-X-Screen-Protector-For-Samsung-Note-9/32888973806.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.39124c4deTzHEt).

Not sure is it a software issue or hardware. Please help.

Unlikely that this was caused by 'liquid damage'. I had a LOCA glue protector on my S9+ as well, and it was not damaged or affected in any way by the LOCA glue or UV light.

On to the issue, I'd suggest doing a factory reset on the device. Set it up, but DO NOT install any apps from the Play Store.

Download this APK:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...3-2-80-090400-211705629-android-apk-download/

Install it on your phone. Reboot, and try using your phone with no applications installed for a few hours. Just use the stock apps, if the issue still occurs, then there is something seriously wrong with your phone, and if the issue doesn't occur, it's probably due to some app you have installed.

Also, worth noting that I think Samsung themselves and all of us were pretty satisfied with both performance and battery life after BRGA (August update), and so unlike all previous builds, Samsung has stopped making kernel changes since BRGA for the Exynos S9/S9+.

This does not mean Samsung will stop making kernel changes completely, but the main issues that everyone complained about during the release in February/March have been resolved.

Hi guys. If I reflash this firmware. With home home_csc, what gets overwritten? I ask as my phone is doing 2 stupid things.

So, if I re flash, hopefully it will work again?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
None of your data gets overwritten. In fact, if you flash ARCC over ARCC with HOME_CSC, it doesn't do anything. Odin will just make your phone reboot. Might re-flash cache.img but that's all.

If you're facing bugs or weird problems like that though, I'd recommend a reset with CSC_OXM.

You can't flash back to June because of a difference in the bootloader version.

TPH (Portugal) seems to be your active CSC, but ITV is the CSC of your SIM card.

Remove your SIM card and insert it again, if you get a popup about Service Provider change, then do a factory reset from the settings app and it will change to ITV, allowing you to use Samsung Pay.
