SM-A505FN vs SM-A505F updates

Why is SM-A505FN still not receiving the april patch and the partial FP fix? SM-A505F has the update in numerous regions. How long does it usualy take for the updates to trickle to other variants?

romanian a50 update
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadow_khan:
Can confirm. Also received the April patch in Germany.

Noticed two things:

Fingerprint unlock is MUCH better. Now the phone unlocks as soon as animation finishes

The Selfie camera update they mentioned in the update, I have a feeling that they are "claiming" to add some kind of wide angle selfie mode but in reality the "wide angle" is what the default selfie cam from before and the default now is just a slightly cropped version of the earlier default. At least this is what I noticed from the selfie I took before the update and the selfie after April patch update.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

To add: I haven't seen a single FP unlock error after the update. Had disabled it completely in past weeks and added the FPs afresh after today's update.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] wild_one_ro:
so after the update selfie camera only in wide mode has 25 mp. in normal mode it has only 16 mp.

with the old firmware selfie camera has 25 mp immediate , now you have to swap between modes.

Funny thing. . Mine received same update but it uses CAC(Uzbekistan) product code. For some strange reasons when I bought my phone on initial setup it picked up CAC code despite having Vodafone sim card in it. Tbh not really bothered as there's no bloatware and Office 365 comes in full version out of box...

Find the original CSC of your phone ( settings, about phone )

Find update here according to CSC https://samfrew.com/model/SM-A505FN/ and download propper file

Flash with Odin

I got my phone with polish march firmware XEO CSC. Phone could not find OTA update for April. So i flashed April update with Odin . Next May update came OTA with no problem
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlospaco:
I can only flash the CSC file? Thats enough? Wil i still have all my apps and settings, or do i lose everything?

Hi all,

I have SM-A505F

Region: XFV

My lastest update is 1 March 2019? Why am I so far behind? anyway around this?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobandar:
The updates depends upon the region you are in. I believe for this device regions like India get the update first then it continues one by one region to region. If you want updates on time then you can flash the Indian firmware through Odin. Once flashing the indian firmware you can get updates when samsung releases the security patches.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoye:
Thanks for the reply. What are the pros and cons of flashing to a new region?

I am a bit worried about doing this. Do you think it is just best to wait for the updates to come to my region instead?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wasomaji:
If we change region with Odin for instance from europe to india, do we will receive next india OTA in same time that india ?

NFC problems with A50

Hello everyone, I bought from a week the A50 model with 6GB of RAM, I noticed with great regret the absence of the NFC antenna, which was to be integrated online in this model. My question is...... If I update the firmware i solve the problem or the antenna is non-existent and instead disable with I read in some sites . I thank anyone who can help me in this problem.

Thanks yakapa40 for the answer, but a but it is inactive, from the menu there is not, on the phone there is no option that refers to NFC, it does not make me install samsung pay, I managed to install google pay but tells me that it lacks NFC. I also installed an app that checks for the presence of the NFC antenna and says it is not there

Question

Dear Guys excuseme, I have a SM-A505FN D/S but not support Band 2/4 for Latam. There is a way to open this bands flashing or changing the firmware. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rexton270:
Yes. Just make sure you have FN firmware and not other(F,G etc)

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

If the phone is not officially released for your region not sure if you can flash different firmware. Also make sure what processor is in your phone. European and African countries usually have Exynos, while Americans and Canada comes with Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] samusfree:
Thanks for your answer Rexton270 in this model all the variants come with 64bits - Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 9610 (10nm).

But only the SM-A505G and SM-A505G/DS suports the band 2/4.

Hey guys! I'm trying to find the "SM-A505W" canadian stock firmware. Can't find it anywhere on the internet. Is it available somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Incase, A50 was recently launched in your region, it might take few days/weeks for firmwares to show up on the server and eventually on all these third party sites. Additionally, you check for the firmware in Smart Switch through Emergency Recovery option. Whats your region csc? Check in About Phone >> Software information >> Service provider SW ver. (XXX/XXX, XX/XXX)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] AliasGprime:
I think that would be "VMC/VMC/XAC"
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Nothing shows up on the server with these codes. Guess, they haven't uploaded them yet.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] AliasGprime:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] AliasGprime:
I'm just trying to understand how that work. Sorry , and hope you don't mind my possibly stupids questions. I've never put the effort to study those things till last week. As for the firmware files, Thanks to [MENTION=4583018]yakapa40[/MENTION] for giving it to me! But What would happen If I flash it? isn't there multiple variant of a firmware for each phone carriers? Mine's Virgin. What would happen if I don't flash a Virgin specific firmware file?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
You may loose any possible Virgin Carrier configs (VoWIFI, RCS, VoLTE etc). However, as a pros, you don't get the carrier bloat that usually comes along. If your carrier uses generic patches or you really don't care about VoWifi then you should be good to go. LTE or 4G+ would work as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Artemdroid:
Greetings, newbie here, can someone point out to the custom firmware for build A505WVLU1ASE3?

Do I understand right that after Bt and OEM unlocked, now I need to find the exact build for custom software?

How do you make sure that custom ROM has no spyware inside? I do trust the members here and I ask for the sake of knowing the process as my A50 is my first Android phone.

Greatly appreciate all the answers and guides the community produces

about SM-A505WOYV1ASE3.zip ( post 99 )

exact name : AP_A505WVLU1ASE3 CSC_A505WOYV1ASE3

this firmware is multi CSC :eek:YV as you can see in post 94 and 96

if i'm not wrong Virgin use Bell carrier

so if your active CSC is XAC ,BMC or VMC , there is a préconfiguration for Bell-internet Volte , VoiceOverWIFI and VideoCall

but not with PCM or SOL

I bought a Note 9 (SM-N960F) second-hand and it turns out it was rooted in the past. I wanted to update the buildprop so that S Health would work so re-rooted the phone, made the necessary changes, which worked fine and then started removing root, TWRP, etc.

I unticked OEM unlock, the phone restarted and now everytime I try to start my phone I get "Custom Binary Blocked by OEM lock" in red and that's it.

I can't access Samsung recovery (Bixby + Vol Down + Power) to re-flash a standard ROM and I cannnot boot into TWRP (Bixby + Vol Up + Power).

Have I bricked it? Is it now a £500 paperweight? Any ideas on a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oddbehreif:
Your system partition is no longer intact. Of course you should keep the OEM lock off.

Have you tried entering download mode by holding vol down + bixby while plugging your cable in, while the phone is powered off?

Thank you! That worked :)

If you had searched you would have found that you can get S Health to work by downloading and installing an earlier version set it up, then update to the latest version. I had the same problem with my S8+. Just can't remember what earlier version to download but Google is your friend there.

1- this is note 9 forums

2- you are attempting to flash OLD firmware on a newer based bootloader phone.

3- search and read.

so just don't flash old firmware. download the newest. search are read about bootloader versions so you don't get the SW REV error again and also search on how or where to download the newest firmware or at least one that matches your bootloader revision.

extract your downloaded firmware and flash it through odin.
