What do you mean by this?

What are the steps to upgrade the firmware without losing all your user data?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pixiebob:
i did not succeded update firmware without losing data because wipe data in stock recovery is needed.

I was successful patching the new September software and updating my G9730 without loosing data.

My only problem is that now I have much more random reboots than before. Sometimes it happens multiple times per day. At least only right after locking the device or trying to unlock it, and not when using the device. But I think that's the price we have to pay when rooting our Snapdragon device...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pixiebob:
i don't have random reboots.

i recommend you to use last twrp from here:

https://t.me/twrp_s10snap

before flashing it, you patch twrp.img with magisk 20.1, and after flash newly magisk_patched inside twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThomaSEK:
I use Magisk 19.3 without TWRP. Somewhere in another thread, I read about problems/bootloops using Magisk 20 with Qualcomm devices. That's why I do not update Magisk at the moment.

So you use the Canary 20.1 version without any problems? Did you use another Magisk version before?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pixiebob:
i use canary version since one week and no problem

New Magisk for Successful Root of SM-G9730 Running ASIK

For anyone else who was unable to root ASIK firmware while saving data and setup, there has been a new release of Magisk and Magisk Manager that works just fine. After unsuccessful attempts to root/install ASIK with previous Magisk versions, I had still been running ASH2 rooted with 19.3. I was just prepping to wipe phone and proceed with complete setup from scratch to get updated when I noticed Magisk/Magisk Manager updates. New Magisk is 20.1-5c7b5952(20003.) New Magisk Manager is 7.4.0-5c7b5952(248.)

I decided I might as well try before wiping phone and I am sure glad I did. I can report that these versions of Magisk and Magisk Manager work just fine and I successfully updated no problem. I will also let anyone concerned know that I had previously executed the random reboot patches though, I had removed them and this did not prevent updating. I B happy!

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mab06:
No it's not, the US model is the G973U and the G973U1 our tgy model is the G973O so if you do install probably you will brick your phone. The only firmware available for us is the Chinese one that has the same model name (G973O).

Do you experiences random reboots on rooted ASIK Rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bsam55:
I do. I rooted this phone when I first set it up so, I never "knew" it without root. It has always had reboot problems on all firmware/Magisk combinations. I use Substratum and this seems to aggravate the problem.

This brings up an interesting point. There used to be a term among android hackers called "settling" or a "settling period" which referred to a period of instability/crashes/reboots that would follow installing a rom or mod which would clear up after a settling period. It's like the phone or device had to adjust to the mod after which it worked well. I never quite believed in this. It just didn't make sense to me, not that I am any expert. However, this seems to be exactly what I am experiencing with this phone. ASIK with present Magisk is pretty stable right now but, I know I can expect more reboot issues when I get an update to Magisk or even Substratum. I'll bet this is just about exactly what others are experiencing.

Offering a Little Peace of Mind for ASJU Firmware/Magisk 20.1 (20004)

Hey guys,

For SM-G9730 TGY, I just patched ASJU AP file with 20.1 (20004) flashed all and everything seems to be working fine. In light of recent problems, I just thought I'd let you know.

Hi, apologies if this has already been covered or these questions are dumb but I'm new to all this - I've been an Iphone user for years.

My brother is currently working in China and I'm thinking of getting and S10. Looking at the prices they are a lot cheaper to get him to bring me one over from China than buying one here in the UK. If he does, will it work straight out of the box (I'm on "Three" network in the UK), or will I need to change the firmware or anything? It'll be the Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan version he gets.

No idea about whether I'd need Samsung Pay, but would want Google Pay to work. Also I'd need Play store and would like to get automatic updates.

Are there any differences other than the processor?

Thanks for any help. The more I read the more confused I get.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] willempost:
Not to much difference

I have used both versions

The only thing what in the Netherlands is not working out of the box is 4G+ only 4G

But in this forum you will find a workaround which is easy to do and than it works

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sly123:
I've experienced that too but I need a reliable phone so I gave up on booting with root.

Also the settle takes maybe one week or more. For me this is not acceptable.

And every update causes those problems again.

I'm going to install ASJU now. :)

EDIT: Somehow I can't install the ASJU firmware and got a soft brick. (Source: samfirm)

I tried it with patched-AP.

It stopped at

...

<ID:0/006> NON-HLOS.bin

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

Then I tried with the original AP:

...

<ID:0/006> Home Binary Download

<ID:0/006> Total Binary size: 6808 M

<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

...

It stopped at a very early state. I've got no data loss but I had to flash ASIK(w/ patched AP) in the emergency download mode.

So no problem but I don't know what's wrong with the update.

I would like to have the security enhancements.

Guys I've just ordered this variant SAMS10PG9750128PBLK from "Wonda Mobile" for uk use.

Incidentally when i enter that sku code in Google it comes up with nothing? I'm guessing it's the HK variant and would like to know a few things please.

Will i get OTA's in the UK out of the box, security and firmware updates?

I keep reading 4G keeps messing when updated, will 4G work out of the box in the UK for Vodafone?

I'm aware about Samsung keyboard and Samsung pay but I'm not bothered about either because i use Google pay and Google keyboard so not am issue for me.

Also i currently have an s10 plus exynos variant which I'm sending back because gcam in exynos is just **** and also I've been reading even the stock app on Snapdragon variant takes better pictures out of the box without even installing a gcam version.

Normally get pixels so always get Qualcomm but Samsung is just a pain in the arse for different hardware variants across the globe.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] willempost:
Updates do come ota

Doesn't matter where you are

Thanks I'm looking forward to it now, I'm not really sure what 4g+ is, I'm on Vodafone uk and never seen anything other than 4G, will it still work with 4g properly?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gitanitos:
You can use both but maybe 4G+ os needed if you want to use VOLTE (Voice Over LTE).

I don't have VOLTE so I can not confirm

Enviado desde mi SM-G9730 mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ady1976:
Thanks, I've just been reading VOLTE does not work on Vodafone UK anyway unless you purchase the handset from them which seems ridiculous, i always wondered that because on my current pixel 2 xl it drops to H+ when in a call no matter where i am, however the UK S10+ exynos version i just sent back says HD on the calling screen when in a call so I'm not sure to be honest, I'm not too bothered if that doesn't work for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliott2456:
I am with Vodafone UK (Contract) and VoLTE works and WiFi Calling. Sometimes WiFi calling doesn't work after I get an update but all I have to do is reinsert the sim or I will get a configuration message to configure it again. By the way I bought my phone from WondaMobile which is the S10+ Snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ady1976:
Oh right ok so that's contract, i wonder of that makes a difference because I'm sim free contract, does it display something different if your connected to VOLTE conversation? Only thing I've ever seen when in a call is the signal dropping to H+ on Vodafone, that's where I've purchased from also, I've just checked the IMEI number and it says exynos so contacted wonda and they say it's definitely Qualcomm chipset, these IMEI websites are not always accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliott2456:
Well when I turn on VoLTE it literally says VoLTE on the status bar next to the signal bar. Also when I call someone it does go from a normal call to a "HD Call" when VoLTE is enabled when connected to 4G. The only issue I am having is that WiFi calling keeps on vanishing and reappearing after every minor software update lol.

Also I doubt that its specifically a contract thing.

It should also work on SIM Free if you have minutes of course.

With my Vodafone account I can turn VoLTE and WiFi calling on or off although that's via my account.

However it has always been on by default.

IMEI websites aren't that accurate and regardless if you actually received an Exynos device instead of Snapdragon you can return it anyways since you are covered by PayPal and Wondamobile has a pretty good return policy.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ady1976:
Actually i did notice it saying hd on the call dialer when in a call just can't recall it saying volte at the top, maybe it was working and i didn't even realise because my pixel 2 xl doesn't say hd or VOLTE or anything so maybe that doesn't support it.

Right so maybe i need to check my account i didn't know you had to do it manually, I'll check that later.

Yeah looking at reviews wonda does seem good, I've already had dhl tracking from Hong Kong too so i expect it will be here this week, i did pay for that "smooth" express delivery too.

Will report back here when it arrives i suspect it will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ady1976:
Just to update the Snapdragon S10+ has arrived from wonda mobile, everything seems to be working just a couple of things I've noticed, when I turn my mobile data off it's still displaying 4G in the status bar, this doesn't do this on UK models, it completely disappears, also it does now say volte in the status bar and can be toggled off or on in the mobile network settings so that's definitely working.

Does anyone how to remove the 4G icon when mobile data is off, I've never seen this before even on the UK purchased S10+.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] willempost:
It just says you are connected to a 4g network nothing more

Why would you remove that?

When you turn off data the arrows under the icon disappear

So you can see you are offline

Fingerprint Issues

Fingerprint scanner had been working pretty well after first few security updates and removal of screen protector but, after November 1 update to ASJU I find fingerprint scanner to be as problematic, balky and generally effed up as it was originally on out-of-the-box firmware.

Sure hope next update (which might very well be Q) fixes it.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yunglira:
Nothing, it's dead silence. Samsung Hong Kong have no clue what's going on and beta 6 came out like 3 days ago for China so it's very unlikely they will be releasing it this year.

I hate to sound pessimistic but from how it's looking it'll probably end up releasing mid January, only two months after the exynos version, what a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sergmarin:
Why 2 months? Stable version fo Exynos was released in mid of december. One month as usually every year. S10 is my third HK version (were S8 and S9), every year is the same - HK version gets new Android version with delay of a month after Exynos versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yunglira:
Android 10 was released on the 27th of November in Germany followed shortly by UK, France, Sweden, etc. If we were to follow the 1 month rule then it should release tomorrow, which would be amazing, but I find that very unlikely.

It won't be exactly two months on the dot but it's looking to be closer to two months than one.
