ia any way to changing csc for quicker updates?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdjta:
You don't necessarily have to change CSC (this will wipe and reset your phone) because XSG is part of a multi-CSC (OJM). You can find more information on which CSC's are part of the multi-CSC of your device here

This means you can flash any firmware from one of the CSC's in the multi-CSC but chose carefully because the build and changelist should always be newer than your current firmware. Downgrading will cause issues and you should factory reset if you want to do so. My phone has CSC PHN which is part of the OXM multi-CSC and I flashed SEK over it (SEK seems to be updated most frequently for A70) with every update and didn't encounter any issues. You'll have to download the complete firmware you want (I used Frija for this).

After downloading and unzipping the file you can flash the firmware using Odin (version 3.13.1) by loading the different files in the right slots (CAUTION: If you don't want to wipe your phone use the HOME_CSC-file, not the normal CSC-file!) and putting your phone in download-mode (turn it off and while holding both volume buttons put the USB-cable in the phone. You'll get a green screen. Press volume up to continue). Check that the log in Odin says your phone is added into a COM-slot.

After you started the process wait for Odin to restart it at say PASS!. Now you can disconnect the phone and wait for it to restart, it will go through a screen to scan all installed apps (373 in my case) and than start as normal.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] ApexPrime:
Does anyone have any idea when the update will arrive in Pakistan?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdjta:
I'm sorry, I found that contrary to what I said in my previous post PAK isn't part of the OXM multi-CSC but is part of OJM as you can find in this thread . So you'll have to wait for an update from one of the CSC's that is part of the OJM multi-CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] robgee789:
OK mate thanks for clearing that up for me, I could have screwed up royally there.

My csc is XSG I have an Etisalat sim card in the UAE I want to change my csc to get newer updates can you tell me what do I do?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] marko1999:
I also have UAE "XSG" with OJM csc, but because OJM is multi-csc I succesfully flashed SEE-A705FNXXU1ASE4 (OXM) which is also multi csc without any issues with ODIN and CSC_ file (not HOME_CSC_). After flashing my phone rebooted and factory erased/reset.The process took about 10-15 minutes and everything from phone internal memory is deleted!

Now my phone is SEE/SEE,SEE/XSG and no more TRA ID(Telecommunications Regulatory Agency of the United Arab Emirates) in About Phone

OTA updates now works for Serbian region(SEE) and i recently got update A705FNXXU2ASF5

I choose csc for my region because of regional applications and security policies,some regional settings.. e.g for Serbia spotify app is unavailable-blocked(deezer work here), no samsung pay app in galaxy store etc.

Every firmware csc is for specific region/state

What's the reason behind releasing the update at different dates in different regions? Why can't they just release it for everyone at once?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] finac94:
Probably because some operators/countries disable some functions or apps, while others maybe add some things and so on...
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] wastedagen:
I agree if the phone was bought through the operator with the operators branded firmware installed.

What about us that buy direct from samsung with stock firmware. Surely we should get it straight away..... Idk..

Update: Oh Wait, you said countries too... Missed that..... My bad...
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] mintyx:
The best example of country wise blocking of features I have seen is the case of POCO F1. Poco F1 has Infrared Face Recognition. But in some of the middle eastern countries they have disabled. But if you choose some other country at the time of phone set up, you will get this feature. I have also heard about Sony disabling fingerprint sensors in US markets.

As you can see here Canadians (SM-705W) seem to have got the shaft when it comes to updates. Check out the Canadian version against the others. A few updates for the other models while only one for Canadians. Can't wait for some devs to crack this phone so we can manage it better than our carriers.

Almost 2 months with no security update on a brand new phone still on may security patch and it's august good job samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Exostenza:
It looks like Samsung has put out the updates... it is the cell phone carriers who are dropping the ball on this one. You can see on Samsung's stock images page that there have been monthly updates for the phone put out in a lot of countries while others are lacking the updates. I would chalk this up to the carriers lagging behind, wanting to put in their own bloatware packages or just being lazy rather than Samsung. This is why we need unlocked phones and some ROMs as soon as possible so we can skirt having to rely on our lazy/slow carriers to pick up the updates, customize, and roll them out.

Thanks AZ biker for cleaning up the thread. Far better now without the nuisance.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

I've been waiting for the new update on my version 705mn for 2 weeks now. Never got it. I don't know if the carriers are to blame since we really don't have proof. But would love to get night mode for the cam.

As for custom rom work you mentioned, I'm for it. The problem with it is that custom roms tend to break much functionality like the cam not working or more battery drain than usual. As long as these aren't affected I'm for it. But if these issues are present, custom roms are just a waste of time since they create headache and waste user's time in finding a rom that works 100%. A rom that works 95% isnt worth it in my judgement.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] James.Miller:
I've said this before and it went unnoticed - the A70 is on quarterly security updates. Don't expect monthly updates because that isn't Samsung's plan for the Axx devices.

If samsung do update more than quarterly then it's because they are adding missing features or fixing major bugs in firmware.

About

**********

I created this to make it easier for users of the H990 (single SIM) variant to downgrade to Nougat from Oreo.

This is untested on any other variant. If anyone does brave the unknown, please let me know the outcome.

This is particularly helpful when using LOS 16 with working fingerprint sensor,

as previously we needed to KDZ to Nougat and then reroot. This is not the case anymore.

How

**********

This is a tricky process, so I cannot stress this enough: BACKUP EVERYTHING. Your ROM, your pictures, files, Whatsapps, Internal storage etc.

1 - The Downgrade

Do not reboot out of Recovery at all during this process.

Put all these files on a USB OTG or External SD Card.

1. Reboot to Recovery

2. Install the "old" TWRP 3.0.2.1 (for some reason only this version wipes data correctly)

3. Reboot to recovery

4. (This will delete all of your data) Format Data (type "yes")

5. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System

6. Flash the downgrade zip

7. Flash SuperRom 4.1. Do not choose a kernel in AROMA. Do not reboot in AROMA.

8. Flash MK2000 BTTF Nougat kernel

9. Flash Magisk

10. Reboot

2 - Going to LOS 16

1. Reboot to Recovery.

2. Flash the latest TWRP

3. Reboot to recovery

4. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System

5. Flash LOS 15.1

6. Reboot

7. Check camera and rotation work

8. Reboot to Recovery

9. Flash LOS 16

10. Flash Gamma Kernel (if desired)

11. Flash GApps Pie (9.0) Nano

12. Flash Magisk

13. Reboot

3 - Going back to Stock oreo

Do not reboot out of Recovery at all during this process.

Put all these files on a USB OTG or External SD Card.

1. Reboot to Recovery

2. Install the "old" TWRP 3.0.2.1 (for some reason only this version wipes data correctly)

3. Reboot to recovery

4. (This will delete all of your data) Format Data (type "yes")

5. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System

6. Flash my Rooted Stock H990 Oreo ROM (this restores all Oreo partitions)

7. Flash MK2000 Oreo kernel

8. Flash Magisk

9. Reboot

10. (Optional) You can now flash the latest TWRP again and restore an Oreo ROM backup.

Hi JL

You have kindly help me rooting my phone ( I posted in Q&A and you gave me helpful answers. I have the DS version, and I am now now rooted with the 10B ame version. I would be tempted to install this, which seems straightforward. I will probably loose the dual sim, right? Anything I can do. I think I should backup EFS and modem,, and re-install them, right? (BTW, I am looking for how to back up these - the method I found doesn't seem to work with Magisk)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jl10101:
Sure, I can try help :)

My first question though, is what the aim is? If you are on Nougat, and you want to go to LOS, then you don't need this.

This is mainly to go from stock Oreo to Nougat again (or Nougat again, then to LOS).
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] henrylar:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Vats12:
Hi,

I have an android device and its kernel source code. I am able to compile the kernel source code and get "Image.gz-dtb" image file.

Now I need to flash it on my android device.

As per my knowledge the step required to flashing a kernel image on android device is as following:

Android Image Kitchen

Pull your device's boot image from the latest image available for your device (whether it be a ROM or stock)

Download the latest Android Image Kitchen from this thread.

Run the following with the boot image:

unpackimg.sh <image_name>.img

Locate the zImage file and replace it with your kernel image (rename it to what came out of the boot image)

Run the following to repack:

repackimg.sh

Flash the new boot image with fastboot or TWRP!

These steps are copied from:

https://xdaforums.com/android/softw...oid-kernel-t3627297/post72806131#post72806131

I am facing a problem in following these steps because the device I am using has two boot partitions i.e.

boot_a -> /dev/block/sde11

boot_b -> /dev/block/sde39

So I am not able to proceed with the first step to pull the boot image.

I can pull both image with dd command i.e. `dd if=/dev/block/sde11 of=/sdcard/boot_a.img` and `dd if=/dev/block/sde39 of=/sdcard/boot_b.img` but I don't know what should I do after that because I have only single image file generated from the source code.

I searched over the internet for A/B partitioning and I found that these are used for seamless updates i.e. One partition is active at a time and another partition which is inactive can be used to flash the update. On reboot, another partition will become active and One partition will become inactive. More Info: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/

If my understanding is true then I just need to follow following steps to find the correct image to be used at the first step of flashing the kernel:

1. fastboot getvar all | grep “current-slot”

2. dd if=<path to boot of active slot> of=/sdcard/boot.img

3. Continue with boot.img and flash the kernel with above written steps for flashing a kernel.

Anyone who has this knowledge, please confirm. I will be very thankful to you.
