I was thinking of just doing a clean flash with Odin tbh, as a last resort but this is just awful I hope it gets addressed with the March update

Does anyone have a link for CSAG, I'm on Verizon S9+ and Updato and Sammobile are Soooooooo slow ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
Last night I ended up flashing over to the U1 pie since the at&t bloatware annoys me. This morning I'm back to what I was used to prior to the last OTA. Just in the little bit that I've had it unplugged it's already clear that my battery life is back to normal.

A factory reset may do it for you too but I can't say for sure. Something in the OTA clearly caused a conflict for some of us though.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
How's the battery life on CSAG?

So what all of this mean is that Sumsung is the new apple messing up with the galaxy battery so we have to buy the S10 hmmm I'm not upgrading
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I switched to U1, and so far I'm pleased
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
It means that the OTA didn't update as seamlessly as it should've. Something in it made my Android system process run too much and zapped my battery life. Doesn't appear to happen to everyone or we would be seeing a lot more complaints about it. But a clean flash fixed it. I just switched to U1 to get rid of the at&t bloatware.

Hey guys. I am Max Weinbach, the portal writer who covers and leaks this stuf. I just wanted to say you should all really wait for us to post these on the portal before installing them. He have safe and tested instructions that won’t cause issues and will but warnings along with a list of what is broken. We also link to a site run through the Samsung community with free downloads and uncapped speeds. It might be a little after they go up here but it’s better to wait.

With CSC7 is anybody else's front facing camera cutting off some of the picture after it's taken? for example when I take a selfie and I have the top of my head to my chest in it after I've taken it it will cut off half of my head :crying:

Try clearing the data and cache for the camera app, they changed the default view in selfie to a closer zoom level in the latest firmware, possible it has bugged out

it didn't work, this is kind of annoying lol I hope it gets fixed, I'll try another camera app

Hey guys, I went to CSA7 months ago before the official build came out for my sm-g965w. Is it possible to go back to stock from this? I'm racking my head trying to figure this out. I've odin'd idk how many files with no luck. Do I go back to brk2 first? Then flash whatever? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
What's happening when you try to Odin to the Canadian SM-G965W Firmware?

No you don't have to Flash back to any US Firmware!

I was running the One UI beta for my SM-G965W and once the Canadian Carriers had released the Stable version of One UI - I just Factory Reset - Booted into Recovery & Flashed the Canadian SM-G965W One UI with Patched Odin - Once it Booted I Factory Reset again and then setup... Really don't know why you would be having trouble? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jj icefish:
Isn't that version 4 baseband? If so cant go back down to ver.2 stock...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Beside the point - He doesn't need to Flash back to any US Firmware - He can go directly to the Stable Canadian SM-G965W One UI ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.interested:
Maybe it's the Odin version? Just to parody, what is that version? Is it the "b" version? Not the standard 13.1.3? Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. I shouldn't need to wipe my phone prior to a Odin flash, so idk what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's a ****ty file as I can't find the stock file anywhere..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Yeah you need to use the Patched Odin to Flash the Canadian SM-G965W One UI Firm & I'd Wipe & Factory Reset before you Flash it... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.interested:
Well when I use Odin I've been using 13.1.3?? Is the patches version with the "b"?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Yeah the Patched version of Odin is with a "B" and I'd still recommend that you Factory Reset Before & After you Flash the Canadian One UI Firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.interested:
Still no luck.. anyone had any issues with the cable before? I've tried everything except that. I'm using an aftermarket cable but it works fine with smart switch.. I've switched usb ports multiple times, factory reset, re-downloaded the firmware, tried comsys Odin, patched Odin, reg Odin. I have done flashing hundreds of times and don't recall having this many issues before. Maybe I'll just have to give up unless someone is positive that the cable matters..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Are you using a USB 3.0 on your computer any chance - If you are - They are known to cause issues - if you have a different USB port use it ?

How can I flash it back to G965W? I downloaded the Canadian FW but flashing via ODIN failed and the phone wouldn't even boot

I used PATCHED Odin to Flash the Canadian SM-G965W Firmware - I also Factory Reset before Flashing the Canadian One UI Firmware - Someone else posted that they had a problem because of the Bootloader versions - Just make sure that you are NOT trying to Flash backwards to an older Bootloader version & you NEED to use PATCHED Odin ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] lifeisfun:
Thanks for reply !

yes, I used patched ODIN but did not factory reset first.

How do I check/compare the bootloader versions?

Can I just leave out the BL, and flash only the rest?

This is my current BL BL_G965USQU3CSAB_CL15119402_QB21561315_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

and this is from the W package BL_G965WVLS3CSAG_CL15119402_QB21795574_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
The number "3" just before the CSAB/CSAG is the Bootloader version number - You can't go to a lower Bootloader version number than 3 in this case - So it's NOT a Bootloader issue since both are the same version & I would always Flash the full Firmware.

Factory Reset First (Backup or move whatever you want or need to your external sd card or computer BEFORE you Factory Reset) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] lifeisfun:
Thanks for the explanation!

Everything works fine, just not the OTA updates, so I'm hesitant to reset since it would take for ever to set it up again :(

Any idea why the OTA is not working?

I found new version using the FW downloader (SM-G965U_1_20190319143714_gymihhae0t_fac), so I presume there should be OTA available.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Did you Flash the Canadian CSC & CP?

It should be able to check for OTAs once you have done this...

Yeah I know that a Factory Reset can be a pita - But surprisingly it doesn't take as long as you might think - Smart Switch is actually pretty good for Restoring your settings AND I've been Flashing Custom Roms for the past 10 years! So Stock Unrooted Samsung Firmware is just something we have to learn to live with.... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] lifeisfun:
No, I did not :angel: ...so I can only grab the CSC and CP from the Canadian package and flash that using odin over the existing?

My problem is I got bunch of cameras, drones, Android wear, all this would have to be set up again. I don't think Smart Switch will take care of that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
If you want OTAs to work then yes you have to Flash the Canadian CSC & CP - Try with Regular Odin 3.13.1 & if it fails to Flash then use the Patched Odin...

As for Smart Switch... maybe not - But I was surprised that Smart Switch worked for my Tasker settings - I do have a bunch of other apps that need adb commands which Smart Switch doesn't work on - So I have to repeat adb commands for those as well as for the Mobile Data & Hot Spot Toggles - Anyway it's up to you to decide if you want to Factory Reset - If you experience crap battery life then you probably should ?
