Yes, I did it. I've managed to download the lastest firmware, oddly the one that won't install via OTA or Smart Switch. I was wondering if I can flash an unbranded version from my country the next time, I couldn't do it the last time with Nougat. How can I do it if my phone is from a company? Thanks for your answer!

I hope this post help if someone has the same issue after updating an erroneous firmware from Samsung servers via OTA or Smart Switch. My company is Claro from Argentina. My solution was to download the latest firmware from sammobile's site and flash it though Odin. This phone with Oreo is amazing! Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] SnowFuhrer:
It should work to flash unbranded firmware, but I am not sure what would happen with your CSC. Personally, I would stick with the right one. But if you you want to change CSC to unbranded, there is a tutorial somewhere on XDA.

However it's no longer around... Anyone knows where it's moved or how should I control the behavior of LMK?

Please, help

I can't get Mogul to connect to PC in DIAG mode (##3424#)

I put it in DIAG mode (##3424#) a screen saying DMR v 1.87 pops up. Then I connect it to PC, but PC don't see Mogul as hardware. In ActiveSYNC mode I connect Mogul with no problem. A few weeks ago everything was Ok. I was able to connect it in in DIAG mode and work with QPST.

I'm choosing a cheap Mediatek tablet. There are multiple chipsets with custom ROM options and a root method for Android7 is probably easy. Is there anything else to consider when choosing a tablet for this project? Is there a checklist somewhere?

I'm going to take some risk with buying it but I'm prepared to risk that it might not work but I want to reduce the risk.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zohairkk:
My dad got me a Note 9 from the middle east (exynos, dual sim). Its Active CSC is KSA. I live in Canada and have been using it without any issues for the past few months. I was also able to recently update it to Pie since KSA is part of the OXM multi-csc.

I don't see an option for WiFi Calling, don't have VoLTE, and can't use Samsung Pay. I've been reading around for a few months now trying to wrap my head around all things Samsung (since this is my first Samsung phone...). I understand that this is due to my phone having KSA as the active CSC and being used in Canada? My provider (Rogers) has confirmed that they have WiFi calling activated on my line.

I was hoping someone could point me the right direction if there is any solution to this? There is no dual-sim version in Canada so I assume flashing some other Canadian firmware won't work (as it would be for a single-sim model).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zohairkk:
Thanks for the information. I'm wondering what CSC am I changing the phone? Canada is not part of the OXM Multi-CSC? The Canadian versions are also single-sim not DS. Can I use the method to change the CSC to a Canadian carrier's CSC and then still flash the Multi-CSC firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] megatooth:
You have Note 9 exynos variant, so you have nothing to lose . Because you will be in the same situation as the first time when you put the sim. If you change CSC ( THL) you will have wificall and volte and native call recording. That's what I did. The only difference is the sim , and I do not think it influences anything.

Dial *#1234# to find current firmware details.

ATTENTION! : after installing PIE Do NOT start the first setup with SIM. It changed the CSC back with sim!!!

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78673521&postcount=44
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zohairkk:
Ok - So I went through the process. I used RealTerm and changed the CSC to XAC (Canada, unbranded). Note that this is not part of the OXM Multi-CSC. After everything was done, the phone defaulted to XEU (United Kingdom). Trying the method again with SIM card inserted before restart didn't change this outcome. However, this whole time I was using the XSG (UAE) firmware to update the phone.

I will now try again with the THL firmware and hope that it works!

I'm assuming Samsung Pay will still be unavailable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] megatooth:
Samsung Pay will be available for unroot knox= 0x0! And Caller ID and spam protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zohairkk:
Thanks for all your help so far. Things that I've learned so far:

1) Changing the CSC through the method you shared didn't really work when it was outside of the OXM Multi-CSC. For example, I tried changing CSC to RWC (Rogers, Canada) or XAC (Canada, Unbranded). When I did this and flashed any of the latest SM-N960F firmware (whether XSG, DBT, or THL) -- the device would default to XEU (United Kingdom). I'm assuming this is happening because the manually set Canadian CSC doesn't exist within the OXM multi-csc.

2) I tested this out by setting the CSC to THL and flashing the THL firmware. This time it did indeed change to THL firmware. Unfortunately, things like WiFi Calling and VoLTE were still not available. Samsung Pay worked - but didn't let me add any Canadian cards.

Rooting is obviously not an option on this phone due to tripping knox. Maybe sometime down the road someone can figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] megatooth:
Or you can try to change for SM-N960W model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zohairkk:
SM-960W is the Snapdragon single-sim variant. I feel worst case it will fry the phone. Best case, I'll lose the dual-sim capability..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
Have u tried installing the Canadian csc going into recovery wiping cache and then doing a reset from there? Then reboot with your Canadian sim only installed (no other sim or second sim if dual). Usually this triggers the correct csc code
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zohairkk:
Seems like the only way to do that would be to root the device since there is no SM-N960F in Canada -- only SM-N960W. So all the Canadian firmware is for SM-N960F. My understanding is that I would have to root the device and then change the CSC based on this discussion:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/n960f-n960n-n960u-n960u1-n960w-n9600-t3833721/page18

If I follow the method explained earlier by changing CSC with RealTerm -- the device rejects the the Canadian CSC (e.g. XAC or RWC) and defaults to XEU (which is part of the OXM mutli-csc).

[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] Harani:
last night i discovered my phone was buzzing regularly in my pocket and when i checked it was going through a constant bootloop.

the last thing i did with it was simply take phone call. not been messing about with it.

it is an unlocked Huawei Ascend G7 model G7 L01 but had stock Lollipop on it.

it was showing the Huawei Ascend logo before buzzing and then resetting. It was not getting as far as the animated Huawei logo.

i could not turn it off and it continued to do this until it had depleted the battery.

when i got home and recharged it i found that i could not get into recovery mode. i could only get to Fastboot and rescue more.

plugging it in to a PC with Hisuite the software acknowledged it was connected but would not let me access the phones files system unless i turned up USB debugging on the pone ( which obviously i cant do)

when trying the system recovery option in Hisuite i was inform that the phone was connected but then that recovery failed as the model was not supported.

I have tried a stock ROM in DLOAD folder on a microSD card but could not get it to work presumably for the same reason i cannot get into recovery mode

I then tried Fastboot to flash a new recovery (TWRP) hoping that would let me proceed to flashing a new ROM

i tried flashing TWRP but although fastboot showed no errors it returned a prompt so fast it clearly had not worked.

F:\HUAWEI recovery>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0.img

target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes

OKAY [ 0.624s]

writing 'recovery'...

finished. total time: 1.041s

still cant boot into recovery mode.

Not sure what to try next.

Hi all

First post here so apologies if this has already been asked and answered...I haven't been able to find it.

I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit 1 for an O2 Orbit 2 to gain the remote sim access profile (rsap) that my VW Passat's hands-free system needs.

I also have Tom Tom Navigator on my Orbit 2.

Here's the question:

when my phone's paired with the car, I have no problems making or taking calls but when I switch on the Sat Nav, while the connection between the handset and the car doesn't appear to be lost, the phone signal is.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Did you find a solution ?
[Touch Cruise General] DALUEN:
Same problem as Lolo and did not find any solution until now.

Use McGuider

As far as the problem comes from tomtom and not from the GPS usage, we can use other navigation software like McGuider. I have tested, and it works fine.

I asked tomtom about this problem but no matter the problem is within their software. They did not want to know anything about it because their sofware continues working (is the rsap who goes down).

Hello every one ,

Im considering to get pocofone, and i wanted to hear some suggestions from you guys that are actualy using the phone.

Currently i have Mia1 on pie update , with google camera , and ota working , i did it back on nougat and since than i've been quite happy with this phone and still am , so i didn't play with custom roms with it . Before i had a nexus 6 , so i love stock android. My moms S4 jfltexx is dying , so i will give her my MiA1.

And the only phone worth it on a 350$ phone right now for me seems pocofone. Only concern for me is miui but im open to it ,as i've never tried it before.

How has been the experience to you guys. I've seen a lot of reviwes on youtube, and for me it checks most of the boxes, but hearing from users here on xda is always better :victory:

This guide will setup your Qualcomm Galaxy S9/S9+ for use on Verizon Wireless

I have not had any tester for the SM-G9600 but myself and several others have tested and confirmed this to be working on SM-G9650

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS GUIDE!!!

I am not responsible for any bricks, soft or hard, and not responsible for lost or corrupt imei/efs

Boot into TWRP and select backup.

Tap "Select Storage"

I recommend you backup everything to an extSDCard.

Select Boot, System, Data (if you want), and Carrier Configs

You can backup each one seperately or altogether.

Next select Backup again and select EFS only.

This backup is extremely important!!!!!

keep it stored somewhere online or somewhere safe.

If EFS gets broken and you do not have a backup you will not have a functioning phone. This partition is where your imei is stored.

Now, flash this file S9+_ODM_combo_ATTVZWUSCTMO.zip

Reboot to system and go through Setup Wizard if you have not done so already.

Now boot to TWRP again and flash this file Verizon_EFS_IMEI.zip

Do not flash both at the same time, you will be stuck in a ForceClose loop at Setup Wizard if you have not completed it already.

Now reboot and enjoy Verizon functionality with 2g, 3g, 4g, volte, and wifi-calling!!

If there are any issues let me know and myself and others will do our best to help resolve any issue.

Edit: Updating with a zip that is compatible with pie.
