I'm brand new here. I don't know squat about my cell phones. Im trying to learn. I was recently hacked through my versa 2 on my moto g stylus which inturn ended up they hacked my moms phone and my 8 year old nieces phone as well, (she was using an old phone of mine that somehow still had my google account on it), from there they were able to find out that I was googling info about hackers on an 8 year old samsung tablet that we owned which had no SIM card or data, only wifi. They showed me screenshots they took of my searches on google. Needless to say, lost a lot of property, i should of had my phone protected, I know better, hard lesson learned. I bought a Samsung Galaxay S10+. I have Bitdefender on it along with Verizon Digital Secure and I had NordVpn but long story short, I was able to catch someone hacking my email as soon as I got my new phone, like 2 days after I got it so I factory reset and everything seems to be fine since. Or so I think. Thats where my questions come in. I re-download Bitdefender and NordVpn but I changed my email so I had to change my info with them. In doing so I realize I am not receiving emails from certain apps or websites. I checked to see if it was my 2 factor authentication, it is not, I checked my sync, my sync is on. I googled everything I cannot find an answer so needless to say I cannot get NordVpn to work because of this and Bitdefender I am running on an old email which is sketchy. Also, my settings change on their own. Ill wake up and my google account will be in dark mode but it won't be changed to dark mode in the settings then after a while it will just go back, then it will happen to chrome. I've noticed things in my clipboard that I didnt put there. I check my permissions and every single app to make sure that none off them have permission to modify system settings. Then, i found in internal files a file that read, ComposersBg, i found that strange but i didnt have an app that could read the file. So, i made a shortcut to my homescreen and by the time I downloaded one. This is what I found....well nvmd on that. When I try to upload the screenshot it says bad request, whatever that means. Anyway, the shortcut is still there but its all white and when i click on it it says its been deleted and its not in the trash and I didnt delete it. I feel as though someone is doing these little things to my phone somehow without being detected. Is that possible and if so what should I do? I'm sorry if this is off subject but I've been trying so hard to find ppl who understand and can help me. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey there. My S10+ G975U is running G975USQS4DTF6, One UI 2.1, wanna flash unbranded.

Tried a couple tutorials from here but nothing has removed the AT&T bloatware.

Familiar with flashing, odin, combo files, etc.

It's my phone, completely accessible. I just want to remove the system hog bloatware.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] E45_ion:
Is there a way for someone to be messing around with my settings on my phone, creating and deleting files and just being a pest on my phone without being detected by bitdefender? If so, how can I find him/her and get rid of them and make sure they are out. No accounts have been hacked its just some some settings keep getting messed with and I don't receive some of my emails.

Also, in my internal files I found a file named ComposersBg. I put a shortcut to the file on my homescreen the went and downloaded an app to open it. When I went back to open the shortcut it was white out and it said this file has been deleted. I looked and it was gone and it wasn't in the trash either. I certainly didn't download it. I then searched on google to see if it was a custom file and I couldn't find it anywhere. I find this very strange. I cant upload the screen shot, it says Bad request, or I would show you.

Ya, I guess, i don't know. Or maybe there's something wrong with my phone. Its only 2 weeks old. I don't get certain emails. My sms login texts for my fb account stopped coming. Fb is sending them but I'm not receiving them. I cant access my fb account now because I use 2fa. I chat with verizon and no one answers me. I get disconnected from tech support phone calls to verizon. I find mysterious files in my internal files then they are deleted and I cant open the shortcut i made now. Did you ever hear of a file "ComposersBg?" Dark mode turns on and off only on certain apps but in settings its turned off. Im so confused. Im new and i want learn. Thats why I'm here.

G975U or G975U1, any way to tell what it was originally?

Hi, I recently purchased a sort of 'new' (new open box) s10+ on eBay.

The phone software shows that it is a G975U1, but on the back of the phone it shows SM-G975U (FCC ID A3LSMG975U, so just our of curiosity, does samsung label both phones identically? or was this phone originally a G975U and someone flashed it to G975U1? Any other way of checking what this phone was originally? (does it even make a difference?)

And I really would like to flash this to G975U (so I can use AT&T wifi calling), but terrified to do it myself and risk bricking it. do the typical phone repair places like geek squad or similar do flashing?

Edit: Update, I did end up flashing to G975U firmware, see details here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83523439&postcount=1196

Changing CSC firmware to a different one (S10 Plus - G975U)

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this. But, I wanted to know if I can flash my S10 plus (G975U) with a firmware of a different CSC.

For example, the current CSC on the phone is G975UOYN2ASGC. Can I flash a firmware of CSC of G975UOYN4ETH7?

According to my research the first firmware is of Spint (cdma) and so is the second one.

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] varcor:
Changing CSC is gamble, swaping firmware is a gamble, buying a used device is also a gamble. Samsung is intentionally making it more challenging to mix and match per the major carrier's preferences. If you want full call functionality, warranty coverage and timely OTA's aquire a new device from your service provider. Samsung shares some of the blame since they offer far too many variants and SoC's but user's need to research options BEFORE purchasing a device, particularly if they're unfamiliar with Galaxy products.

Hi, I have a SM-G975F. I want to root the stock firmware which is Android 10 with security patch Nov 2020 (Can update to Dec 2020 patch). What's the correct version of TWRP to use and would I also need Magisk?

I've read that Magisk also helps with apps that don't work with root e.g. banking app, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

I flashed magisk on my SM-G975F (TEL) with Odin and all was fine, wanted to put LineageOS 18.1 on and got confused and I think I may have flashed TWRP to my recovery and now all I have is TWRP every time I boot. Was going to flash Magisk again the same way as I originally thought but decided I should ask what my next step should be

Hello all,

I'm trying to flash a stock rom to my Samsung Galaxy S10+ using Odin v3.14.1 but it shows me this message:

"Please be sure to delete your google account (samsung account) before downloading the binary. it is not possible to use the device without unlocking. Changing the partition without unlocking will cause problems."

My phone is soft bricked, and I cannot unlock my phone at all. nor remove my google account from my phone thru the settings menu. What are the consequences of going ahead with flashing the stock ROM on here? I'm trying to save my personal data on this device, and trying my best to avoid a full factory reset and wiping everything.

For context, The first time I flashed with Odin v3.13.1 it failed halfway and gave me this error screen. I think this error meant that my phone was bricked hard. So I decided to unplug my phone and soft reset it.

The second time I tried flashing I encountered this error screen while trying to flash with Odin v3.13.1, but I've seen people recommend using another computer and flashing again. I used a spare laptop but it failed again.

Now I’m contemplating using the newer version of Odin, v3.14.1 and trying once more, which brings us back to the beginning of this post. Will it even make a difference? Something tells me I made things far worse than before...

Hey guys,

I haven't been on here in years, so forgive me for being totally unknowledgeable about the current events of this device. And XDA looks so different now, that I don't even know how to navigate it anymore. However the news of the new beta for Android 12 got my attention, and I wanted to ask a simple question here, that I am really, reallllllllllly hoping has a positive answer. Does the US version of the S10+ G975UI have a rooting solution now? I always loved this phone as I have the Ceramic version of the S10+, but not being able to root it was such a letdown, and with every Samsung update it has just gotten worse and worse and worse. So I am praying it has been rooted, and I can take full control of it finally. Sorry, very busy at work, and don't have a lot of research time right now. Thanks for any answers you can provide me.

I've got a few devices that I'm working on making work for a wifi device for my daughter.

Samsung S10+ DEMO - probably softbricked, cannot get it out of download mode. I've tried flashing a few different stock roms, but no joy. This device initially did work but due to the stock demo software would only charge to 70%, hindsight shows I should have left well enough alone...

Samsung SM-G973U - wont accept a charge, stuck on empty charging screen. Will boot into download mode, but haven't done anything with it yet.

Another Samsung device, same size as the S10+ (little thicker) and also a DEMO unit - wont accept a charge, stuck on empty charging screen. Will boot into download mode, but haven't done anything with it yet.

Does anyone have the time to PM me and point me in the right direction on getting any of these devices working? I've rooted and installed recoveries and custom firmware before, but it was back on the GS4. So I'm not a newbie to Odin, ADB, and roms, but I've definitely been out of the game a while.

TLDR; I've got a few (demo) phones that might work with your help.

Greetings. I have US Moble and got an "unlocked" phone that had ATT splash screen (US Mobile is a Verizon MVNO). I couldn't seem to get data/mms working right, and APN settings weren't working. So I managed to flash the stock U1 ROM with VZW and I'm working ok. However, the APN is stuck on VZWINTERNET settings and I can't add anything else. I used a trick to get into the add settings, but it doesn't really let me switch to US Mobile APN. I'm thinking it might be worth it to flash the stock U1 ROM with XAA, but I'm not sure if that makes sense. Can anyone advise? I'd really like to just have the freedom to put the US Mobile APN settings in there. I would like Wi-FI calling if possible, and it looks like that might not be enabled if I use XAA, but I'm just not familiar with this stuff. I didn't root or anything, just used Odin and stock ROM download and flashed with device in download mode. Advice appreciated.

It really seems to be the stock messaging app, not the keyboard. With Swype as my keyboard I see the button for the AR emojis in the stock messaging app. I don't see the icon in either Android Messages (Google, my preferred app) or even in Chomp SMS with the same keyboard. I've searched around but I cannot find where on either the internal or external SD cards where the emojis are stored. They don't show in [stock] Gallery so the normal way to attach it just doesn't see them in other apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
OK. Figured it out. They changed it with the s10. After creating your AR Emoji. Hit the little pink house icon as if you were customizing it then hit stickers and then 3 dots on the top right then add stickers to gallery. You'll be able to send them with any app.

I have stupid question, often when i unlock phone maximized clock(one u get when u tap on clock on lockscreen) shows with only back key in bottom, i cant swipe it to remove or use fingeprint to unlock on usual spot until i press back which shows than normal lockscreen

Phone also wont directly unlock from screen off due this thing is over usual lockscreen.

How you deal with this?Any way to disable tap to expand clock, dont see such option.

Exactly, i pull phone from pocket, i hold touch area, noting happens i need to double tap to turn on phone, or it turns on but on that opened clock screen, than i tap back key, than put finger back on FP area.

Ahhhhh I see what you mean. It looks like you're affected by the touch sensitivity issue that people have been complaining about. Your phone is being activated in your pocket. If you have touch sensitivity turned on I would try turning it off. I find that it registers involuntary touches when my fingers merely hover over the phone. If you don't have it turned on then I'm as stumped as you are.

definitely nothing of the sort, i use a high performance 802.11c of all things mostly because the router i'd be stuck with as ISP supplied separates the 5ghz and 2.4ghz SSIDs instead of combining them for seamless automagical handoffs you have to manually switch and back forth and there's easily 20+ wifi networks showing in my apartment building, heck there's at least 10+ bluetooth, i never thought the range was that good on bluetooth.
