[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralrra:
Hi guys,

hope you can help because I have no idea left.

Follwing situation. I have an GT-I9195 (LTE Version) on an older Cyanogenmod version (don't remember which one exactly) and got recently the "encryption unsuccessful" error during boot up. Okay, I know that's quite simple to fix, just reformat /data in recovery as ext4. But my old CWM recovery (6.0.5.1.) is not able to to change the file system and can not access /data at all (Error mounting /data).

Okay easy to fix - I thought - just update the recovery to TWRP and your good to go.

But doesn't matter what I tried, there is no way to change anything on this damn phone. And I tried a lot:

-tried to flash TWRP via Odin -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1.)

-tried to flash TWRP via Heimdall -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1.)

-tried factory reset and the whole story again --> no change at all

-tried 4 files stock firmware -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1. and on cyanogenmod with the encryption error)

-tried Re-Partition with separate PIT file with 4 files stock firmware -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1. and on cyanogenmod with the encryption error)

-tried Nand Erase and Re-Partition (4 files firmware) -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1. and on cyanogenmod with the encryption error)

So it seems I'm not able to flash anything. Tried different computer (with different OS), different cable, different Odin version (use 3.13 for the most trials but also an older one -->same results), so now I'm running out of ideas.

Might have something to do with "write protection enabled" or Bootloader version 2 or Kernel lock on 0x0...

This is whats written in the download mode:

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

Knox KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know why my alarm widgets (ie. either Chronus or HD Widgets or Elixir) show up as 5 minutes delayed? The alarms work well and activate correctly, but they're shown 5 minutes delayed on the widgets (for ex. 12:00noon alarm shows on the widget as 11:55, or 6:00pm alarm shows as 5:55pm). Been since I upgraded to Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Guids:
I see the same happening on the pie beta 3 on my s8.

It happens using the weather timeline widget and the stock Samsung alarm.

However when I use a different alarm app such as sleep as Android it is displayed correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blu3angel:
Ditto... Same thing..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sherpa25:
Whoa, thought it was only in mine, as I've searched google and here, and found no one report on it. Is this a Pie issue? Should be in the Samsung forums, if so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Guids:
The issue still persists in the official pie rollout on s8 unfortunately. I've no idea how to solve this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Congaman:
Someone post the solution

This is driving me crazy.

Any progress regarding this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Bober_is_a_troll:
I had a similar issue where widgets, and other apps, were not updating or giving notifications correctly.

The problem was with app optimization- I had to un-optimize these apps in order for them to work properly.

Settings > apps > (three dots menu) special access > optimize battery usage

You can also search directly for 'Optimize battery usage'

The default display "Apps not optimized" only shows apps that have not been optimized. You will want to change this to "all apps". Then you will be able to de-optimize apps that you want instant notifications or updates from.

If the app you want to use needs data access as well in order to function (weather widgets) then you can go a step further and go to..

Settings > apps > *APP YOU WANT TO MODIFY* > mobile data

Then allow "allow background data usage" and "allow app while data saver is on". The former is more important, but the later insures the app will receive updates no matter what. Hope this helps.

That dosent fix the behavoir.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
go to an alternate apk downloading site and get the previous version of the app. Seems to be a recurring issue across several phones when running the newest version of chronus on pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rushmed:
Sorry man but when did we start to talk about chronus? Don't know the App even don't have it installed.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] blowingoff:
Although I'm new to GSI system, I am not a newbie on the whole flashing thing. But I just can't seem to boot any of the roms out there. I got to install one, actually, but then on device startup there's a point I get to a screen saying my device is not certified and I can't get past it, just can't use the phone so that id apk thing won't do.

I have a Moto G6 Play and recently forced upgrade to android Pie soak test. I do follow instructions as they are taught: factory reset, flash GSI image, flash GApps if wanted, but nothing works. And, you might know, my device is treble enabled...

sometimes it's hard to search something when you don't know what's it called. When I first started I didn't know it was called a splash screen. It's also hard to do other searches if you don't know if that product exist and what's it called. it's easy for the seniors because they already know everything. just give some of the noobies a break. just point them in the right direction and be on your way instead of flaming. or just dont post if it bothers you so much. be nice, everyone was a noobie once.

Yeah im waiting on it too, trying to not go the firmscience download route.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bignazpwns:
Looking like Verizon will be the last. Who knows how long it will take. Flashed it from my SD card on my note 9 a few days ago and no issues runs great. Probably won't be pushed out on Verizon until the end of the month. They are dragging there feet on this one
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
It hasn't been released yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dpalmer76:
Updated via SD card as well. No problems here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
Don't know what people are waiting for. You can update now at firmware.science. I did it last week on my Verizon Note 9. Easy as ...... Pie. (Edit: Unless it's an unlocked Verizon variant. Then you're screwed.)

The site walks you through the process. It asks what your current Oreo version is so it can prove the correct Pie version (CSAA, btw, same as AT&T and Sprint). And if it turns out Verizon goes off script and gives us something else, just Odin back, and then take the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jam2315:
(Cant remember and not sure how to tell if mine is unlocked variant or not) So if I bought my note 9 from Verizon its most likely unlocked and I cant update from firmware.science correct??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
I think if it's an N960U1 then it's unlocked. Just go to About phone in Settings.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to use this site for an unlocked variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rascal9:
We are all playing the waiting game.

Does anyone know if hotspot mod works for Verizon like it does sprint?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
The N960U1 is the factory unlocked version purchased directly from Samsung. You could also purchase it from Best Buy IIRC.

If purchased from Verizon, you have the carrier branded N960U. Verizon devices are also carrier unlocked, though that has no bearing on whether or not you can apply the update.zip from firmware.science.

If you're still confused as to what version you have...restart the phone. Do you see about ugly Verizon boot animation? If so, you have the carrier branded N960U.

As long as you are on N960USQS1ARL1, which you should be if you received the most recent OTA from Verizon in December, then you can absolutely apply the update zip from firmware.science. It's the same exact file Verizon will be pushing out via OTA. The same goes for ANY carrier branded device.

You can NOT use that update zip on the N960U1. It's different firmware.

With that said, you absolutely CAN use firmware.science to download OTAs for the N960U1...as they become available. As it stands, the only OTA files available for the U1 is the Pie beta files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ryant35:
I have an N960U and I ran the update and it worked!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gdad:
I sideloaded also. No issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bostonbassman78:
I updated it through the SD card and it was super easy and I'm absolutely loving pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TonyGzl92:
I ran into an error while doing this method, I downloaded the update to the sd card and everything was going well, but when it rebooted it stayed stuck in the Verizon logo, i freaked out because it was bootlooping, eventually it gave me a prompt to start the phone in safe mode, so I did and it asked me to perform a factory reset in order to apply the update correctly. Long story short, I had to factory reset in order to properly update. Thankfully i had just performed a backup the day before.

Issue with Firmware.Science Update Method

Hello guys, I've been trying to update via the firmware.science route with no luck. First I tried the sdcard method but for some reason in the recovery menu it says something along the lines of "could not mount /sdcard" and therefore fails to even start the update. Next I tried adb (my usb drivers and everything are up to date, I am running adb as an administrator and I know for a fact that this exact setup works for Odin to flash stock Oreo) but adb hangs around ~70%. On the phone it says "patching system image after verification" and neither adb or my phone have changed status for about 20 min now. Does anybody have any idea why I'm having issues with either of these methods? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------

Update: Re-downloading the firmware from the firmware.science website seems to have fixed the adb issue and I'm booted up into Pie now. Still not sure why my sdcard wouldn't mount in recovery though, but whatever :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nygbrad:
Root needed?

I have a new locked Note 9 without a root. Can I do this update on my phone?

Model # - SM-N960U

Baseband Version - N960USQU1ARL1

I got out of rooting phones but waiting impatiently for this update lol.

I downloaded to sd card. I am getting aborted when trying to update from sd card. Starts to unpack but then says update aborted? Any help???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Need more info:

1. What build are you currently on?

2. What update.zip did you download?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] EclipseGST20:
I'm on Verizon and installed Pie via SD Card. However after a few days I needed to perform a factory reset last night(don't know what my 1yr old did to it lol)and it automatically booted with Pie. Maybe the reset triggered something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Er...I'm confused. You said you installed Pie, but then you're shocked that after a factory reset it was still on Pie? What am I missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] EclipseGST20:
Let me help you then, I Installed Pie but I since I did the factory reset, wouldn't my phone go back to oreo(factory settings)? Only it booted with PIE not Oreo. So I assumed I got Pie from the Verizon server
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] puum1527:
No its first pie only way back to oreo is Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
LOL. No, that's not how it works. You can't just factory reset to downgrade. Once you flashed Pie, you're on Pie. You would have to flash Oreo through ODIN to downgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] im4man:
Do you need to do anything in the developer options before using the sd card method on a verizon note9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ryant35:
I ran the update.zip file and it worked great. I love Pie so far, however my phone keeps forgetting bluetooth pairings. I might have to factory reset and see if that fixes the problem.

I also had to clear data on a few apps to get the to work correctly after the upgrade. It was bank & CC software that used finger print login.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 3dmurphybeds:
No Note 9 listed

Did they remove the note 9 update? I dont see it as one of the choices.

Update found the answer to my own question...... The drop down and slide dosent work in chrome to get to the other choices... Had to go to website on my Phone.

Cant believe we are still waiting on the ota from Verizon lol. Not kool lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] krypto1300:
Yeah I couldn't wait. I did the ADB sideload. Working great here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I don't want the Pie update on my VZ N9 so I disabled the update services via package disabler. Just fine with my phone the way it is, don't want to lose functionality I actually use. If there are things in the update that actually improve the phone, then I will enable the update service packages. A wait and see approach for me at this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] barywsf:
I decided to upgrade to Pie too. The upgrade went very smoothly and so far, I like it. So far, I am glad I did it though it will probably be released any day now...

Update - I have been using Pie for several days now and am very happy with it.

I like the dark mode a lot. It works well.

I did lose my Bluetooth settings a day or two in and had to re-add them but no big deal.

TeslaUnread crashes a lot. I hear if you turn off Outlook, it doesn't crash. It seems to have been true for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wakko69:
Tell me if you have to factory reset or what you did to fix this! Mine is also forgetting bluetooth pairings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ryant35:
I never reset, it eventually stopped forgetting. Maybe after 2 or 3 days. So far no more issues to push me to reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] krypto1300:
Same for me. Initially, bluetooth pairings kept getting lost, the after about 2 or 3 days it stopped and now works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] wakko69:
I will keep from resetting it,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jam2315:
I tried it twice from firmware.science and got same error twice on installing from sd card. Made sure file was renamed correctly and moved to root of sd card and when I try to install from update screen it literally starts and says wrong footer and failed and aborted. Any ideas? One thing might be that it said the size of my file after download was only 1.66 GB instead of 1.8 gb. Idk

UPDATE : third time was the charm...file wasnt completely downloaded for some reason. Worked like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
Did you see this thread? Does not bode well for those of use who took the firmware.science plunge. Might be downloading Odin soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jam2315:
yea i looked it over. I know its coming soon but im not putting much faith in anything verizon says lol. Thats just me. Even if they do push it out today or the next few days my updates are set on manual now so i will be able to make prep before hand and be ready. What are those of us gonna have to do exactly tho......use odin to revert back then do the OTA or can we just stay with the firmware science build? I guess it depends if there are any differences
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
Well, I've already downloaded Odin, just in case. Just need to find the right version of ARL1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] krypto1300:
firmware science has CSB3 now.

I'm sure there will be a CSAA to CSB3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TonyGzl92:
Yeah, i just noticed that too. Do you know if it´s possible to update from the CSAA to the CSB3 with the sd card method?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] krypto1300:
I don't know, but I'm sure it won't work if it's not supported.

I might give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
File name is pretty clear... ARL1 to CSB3, so still might need to Odin back to ARL1 first.

So, I downgraded then upgraded. All went fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jam2315:
So now everyone is thinking that it's gonna be the csb3 file and not the csaa one that Verizon ultimately pushed out OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
I'd bet Verizon waited this long so to push out CSB3 which has the February security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] davec38:
I did the CSAA update with SD Card and it went smooth. However when I manually check for update it's says I'm up to date with the latest version and it's ARL1...... I assume I'm still on the OTA update path then? Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RGardner:
I doubt you are. Folks on T-Mobile who are on CSAA are not able to get their OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] drsky125:
Can you point to a reliable post/website with detailed steps as to how to downgrade with Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] davec38:
I guess that's where my question lies.... Why do we need to downgrade to ARL1 if we (Verizon) update to CSAA via SD card, are running 9.0 pie without issues, and manual updates say we are already on the latest version but it's (...ARL1)

I'm on January, 1 2019 security patch/

SD updated to CSAA/

Yet Verizon update says I'm on ARL1....

Does the firmware science method retain current build? Is it like a ROM over top of ARL1 build?

Sorry if this is simple and I'm just missing something. Im pretty sure in the research I did before I updated I read I would still be on the OTA pathway.

Since Verizon has yet to release the pie for the note 9, won't the next OTA build off ARL1?

Am I the only person who did the SD card CSAA update who's system still shows ARL1?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond

Verizon blows, LOL
