Does this also work on a Note 10+/Exynos with Android 10? Anyone tried it?

In case of a bootloop etc., can I just flash stock bootloader via odin and undo all?

How can I flash the zip without TWRP ? I don't have a custom ROM just Magisk root!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] monicaONxda:
OK, I can answer it myself now:

yes, in a note 1o+ exynos, there is also an up_param.bin in the bootloader that contains (only) .jpg splash screen logos

bootloop happens if the new jpg-logo(s) is too large (~>400kB) and/or has different canvas size and resolution, but then old .bin or a .bin with correct jpg-formats can be flashed

the new up_param.bin (repackaged .bin with new .jpgs by e.g. using 7z (windows)) can be flashed with Odin (AP slot) as a .tar

Another question is, where is the vendor logo (Samsung) stored, that appears (for 5 sec.) just before the lockscreen pops up? its not in up_param!! Does anybody now?

Hello everyone,i really need help in here...

my galaxy s6 has been broken due to trying to flash it.(it is kinda like bootloop but not actually. it opens the the boot animation then after keep crashing with a black screen [SYSTEM UI stopped working] )

so I've tried to flash it with ODIN by having a new rom ( I'm not sure its a rom but I've tried to get a new software by using a [tar.md5] file)

the thing is .... it keeps failing ,and its because my usb isn't recognizing the device

i know i need usb debugging , but I cant do it because the phone doesn't open,and i've also downloaded drivers for Samsung.

PS * it did work now but still I've tried 2 different tar.md5 files now but it keeps failing for some reason....

this is the problem now

sorry for complexity of 2 problems

Hi, ive been on the AOSP Pie for quite a long time now and i still not satisfied with the sound from the Microphone when recording video or even normal audio recording. It sounds so muted, heavy noice cancelling and low bitrate. Any idea how to fix this?

i used to use AOSP Oreo and there is a fix for it from [MENTION=4702982]rocker00[/MENTION] on his thread here https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/themes/magisk-fix-bad-camcorder-audio-quality-t3828711

the fix worked perfectly, stereo recording and high bitrate. Too bad the fix doesnt work for AOSP Pie and the dev is closed the thread for unknown reasons (also i lose the fix file for AOSP Oreo and the MIUI one) :/

any help is greatly appreciated. thanks :D

Because the thread of the fix which is giving just a perfect quality and fix everything related to the audio on the camcorder has been rated with 1 star from some RETARDS because i refused to see my work here and there without even asking or mentioning me, let the people asking for help on the "well known" telegram channel which gives them just a messy patch and just doing nothing at all except breaking the audio. Sorry but i will never share anything else here again since the majority on this community don't deserve anything.

oof, that was kinda messed up. kinda hurt when you developing something for the community and for no reason people are just backstabbing at you. welp, cant do much about it though.

Hey guys!

So, is there a way to get the Android Pie Beta released by Huawei in mid-April to work on my phone?

I found it for my model (ANE-LX1C432) on FF, but it wouldn't let me install. Tried the eRecovery method, as well as the dload and the service menu method. None of them seem to work.

Any way to get this working, or am I out of luck?

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] yassine2217:
You need to unlock your bootloader then you will be able to to make upgrad until now you canot because your botlooder is lock

I advice you to waiting until you receive update from OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CW_texashack:
[Updated][ETH1]

If you only want the firmware and know what you're doing, then links will be at bottom.

If possible, Use the original charging cable that came with your phone, as sometimes there can be errors if you use an aftermarket cable.

If you don't know how to flash or convert from U to U1, read on.

As a precaution, I recommend removing your SIM card and SD card before flashing!

THIS WILL RESET YOUR PHONE!

Firstly, Download the modified Odin below as well as the firmware.

Step 1. Ensure that you have the Samsung drivers for mobile devices installed (which will also be linked below.)

Step 2.Extract the Firmware Zip that you downloaded, Open the modified Odin and click on the BL box, Then select the corresponding BL file.

Click the AP box and select the AP file, Do the same with the CP and CSC files by putting the matching file name into the corresponding boxes.

Step 3.Ensure USB Debugging is enabled and then shut down the phone. Then hold (In this order) Volume Down, Bixby, and Power button until you get to the Download mode warning screen.

Press the Volume Up button.

Step 4. Plug in the phone, and check Odin to ensure you see a blue box that says COM (also has a number at the end)

Step 5.Press Start in Odin and wait till you see pass, if it says PASS, The flash was successful and within about 10 minutes your phone will boot into the welcome screen.

If you are converting from the U firmware to the U1 firmware then you will have no carrier bloatware should have better performance and possibly better battery life as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
Call recording is only available on certain international firmware. It's a CSC feature that isn't available on the U.S. firmware. If you have root you can add the call recording feature to your CSC and that will be the only way to get call recording unless you find the specific international firmware that has it enabled but that firmware may not be best suited for your carrier/region. Also, enabling call recording will replace the call waiting & "add call" button which will make 3-way calls and ability to answer call waiting a problem. For this reason I always chose to not enable call recording. However, with root you can change csc anytime you need call recording and revert when you no longer need it. If I remember correctly, you also have to do a factory reset when adding the call recording in CSC because the csc/settings database is created on first boot only and adding this line in CSC after the phone has already booted and created it's CSC database will not enable call recording. It must be done on a fresh boot after a wipe/restore. I wanted to give you a heads up based on my experience so you know what to expect. Root is going to be mandatory unless you find the international firmware (rare) that has call recording enabled from Samsung.

- Actice CSC code: XAA

XAA/XAA/ATT

So can I use the firmware N960U1UES1CSD1 which is uploaded in this thread to flash my phone into 960U1 ?

Or should I use the firmware N960U1UES1CSD1 which is specified for XAA ?

I captured a bug report while the update was downloading that should have gave me the url of the update but I couldn't find it, sorry peeps. I may start over and try again.

Sorry for the long post.

TL;DR version

I want my sm-n960u to work on Sprint. IMEI works on Tmobile/Verizon/ATT and not on Sprint or Tello(Sprint service). Wondering if converting to sm-n960u1 would make it Sprint compatible. Odin flash failed going from N960USQS2CSI3(sm-n960u) to N960U1UES2CSI3(XAA)(sm-n960u1).

Hi I recently bought a used sm-n960u from a friend. The IMEI seems to work with Tmobile/Verizon/AT&T, but not Sprint. There is no carrier branding or bloatware on the phone. So I am not sure what the original firmware is in terms of region.

Well I wanted to try Tello on it or another cheap plan for now. I also currently have a prepaid red pocket sprint sim that I can't use. Tello is also Sprint. So i wanted to convert it to sm-n960u1 to see if that would then allow me to use Sprint. Is that how it works? Would my IMEI then work on sprint even though it currently says it's not compatible?

Well I did try to convert from sm-n960u to sm-n960u1. My build number is N960USQS2CSI3. So from what I gather from reading about it that would mean I have bootloader 2. So I went on samfrew to find a u1 firmware that has 2 and not a 3. So I went with XAA N960U1UES2CSI3 sm-n960u1 firmware. I wasn't sure if I could use the latest version of XAA since that had a 3 and not 2.

Well I tried to flash N960U1UES2CSI3. Tried Odin+3.13.1+Patched and Odin3_v3.13.3_3B_PatcheD. I had USB debug enabled. I had the samsung drivers installed. I rebooted to download mode and made sure the phone(COM) was detected in Odin.

These were the odin results.
