Don't get any Updates - need to flash?

Hello there,

i dont get any updates on my S10+ since i bought it so a friend of mine sugguested me to ask you guys here - hope you can help out.

If im reading the Main Topic, the FAQ and some posts here i guess im a bit more noob-like so im trying my best but pls dont be too hard. ;)

I didnt understand everything to be honest, its completly new for me, but i guess i got some basic knowledge.

I bought the phone from an official reseller online. Specially for update purpose and that kind of stuff i took the exynos version and without simlock. (living in EU/Germany)

Thought that would be the right move to be save but yeah. didnt get updates since 1 year.

Main Problem:

I dont get any updates (not automaticly, not by manually click the check button, not by Sync with Samsung Members as is read in another forum)

Questions:

1. Is there any simple solution without flashing etc? (Tbo im not that familiar with Odin, Flashing at all, Version, CSC etc. but if there's no other solution i would deal with it of course.)

2. If not, which (latest) file would i need for my phone/region and where do i get them? Best case would be to keep all data of course instead of a whole reset if possible

3. If i took your suggested Version should i get further updates automatically or do i "keep up to date and worry about all the time" by flashing myself each time?

Here some data, please let me know if you need any further info:

I've a German SimCard, living in Germany and so i would like to have the Europe/German DBT Version

- Samsung Galaxy S10+ Plus SM-G975F Dual Sim without SIM lock

- One UI-Version 1.1

- Android 9

- Android Security Patch 1. August 2019

- Software Version SAOMC_SM-G975F_OXM_DBT_PP_0016 | R58M76TWVLH | DBT/DBT,XEH/XEH

- Buildnummer PPR1.180610.011.G975FXXS3ASH1

- Kernel-Version 4.14.85-16487975

- Basisbandverion: G975FXXU3ASG8

Thanks in advance for your time and help, im really looking forward to hear from your.

Greetings

Hi,

Your phone is probably on a build that was never released for Germany, so it can't find an update file for it.

G975FXXU8CTG4 is the latest build for the S10+ in Germany.

Download Frija from here:

https://xdaforums.com/s10-plus/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910594

Enter SM-G975F as the model and DBT as the region code / CSC. Press check for update and then download the file. It will be around 5-6 GB.

Follow the tutorial in the main post of this thread to flash the firmware on your device. I would highly recommend a factory reset as you'll be upgrading from OneUI 1.0 all the way to OneUI 2.1.

Let me know if you run into any issues or have trouble while flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] oscillum:
Hello,

I know the last post was quite some time ago, but I got this pesky notification that there's an update available (currently I'm on Android 9) for my S10+. Updating is not possible though because I am already running Magisk.

Right now, my phone is branded (VD2) but I'd actually like to debrand (DBT) and update (Android 10/OneUI 2.5) it in the process. My question is:

Can I update via Odin (Frija says G975FXXS9DTK9/G975FOXM9DTJB/G975FXXS9DTK9 is the current update which I downloaded already), and have the AP file already patched with Magisk or should I first update from Android 9/VD2 to Android 10/DBT losing my data, and then patch the AP file installing Magisk on Android 10?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Successfully upgraded to Android 10/DBT. I just tried it out the way I pointed to above and it worked (I patched the AP beforehand on my Android 9/VD2 setup).

First I flashed it with the stock AP, then flashed the patched AP afterwards. Don't know if that actually was necessary, but I felt safer doing it that way.

Hello,

My SM-G975F is stuck on Android 9, amazon purchase, likely not intended for the UK where im based (a familiar story from the thread). My problem is my USB port has been broken for years but i've never needed to transfer data over wire so its not been a problem. But now i feel i'm hitting a problem...

Is it possible to update my android via an SD card? I explored using Frija to get the latest android but when i try to install it from recovery mode the SD card will not mount. I don't know if this is because i needed to format it as exFAT due to the file size (6Gb) or is its unrelated (when i start the phone normally i can see/browse the SD card so it seems unlikely?)

Is anyone able to confirm if, without the ability to connect to a PC, im basically stuck with Android 9? if not, any suggestions for help?

Hello!

What modules do you know for changing all device IDs and system?

There is an application in which you can not log in with 1 device, several times

The only thing that helped me was the flashing of the smartphone to another version, firmware, the only way I could log in to the application as a new user.

And what is most interesting, when I flashed the device on my previous firmware, the application again easily found me.

It turns out it looks and remembers some sort of system IDs. Unfortunately, I can not reflash my device every time with new firmware ...

I tried to replace Fingerprints but it did not help me...

The only thing that I could not change is the "Kernel Version" who knows how to replace the version without flashing the smartphone?

I apologize for my english.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] IT_Architect:
1. Why are Verizon's newest phones CDMA when it will be gone in 6 months? Their newest phones have CDMA, while Verizon is 100% LTE-A, and CDMA and non-HD voice phones will be shut down by the end of the year.

2. Does it make sense or do I need to buy a Verizon model Note 8 or 9 to work on Verizon's network? I will be living in the US and Colombia South America. I have a Verizon Note 3 w/o HD voice so I will I need to replace it before the end of the year. I will be replacing it with another Note series phone. The Verizon ones seem to support both CDMA and GSM and what I need for South America. With CDMA going away, does it make sense to buy a Verizon phone with both CDMA and GSM, or do I need to, to get it activated on their network?

Thanks!

there is a nice and free application for converting video formats. it is called XviD4PSP and you can download it here. i use this application to convert my videos to MP4 because some videos are unnecessary big in original format. this is the way to change resolution to only what is needed for tytn II (320x240). it is fast enough, it has a lot of options and it supports many different formats. you can find all instructions on their forum in "how to" section.

this is the settings that i use for tytn II:

Format: MP4 iPod 5.0G

Denoise/ Sharpen: Disabled

Brightness/Contrast: Disabled

Video encoding: XviD 1P 768k Turbo

Audio encoding: AAC-LC ABR 128k

there might be the way to get better results (quality and time to encode), so feel free to experiment with this settings.

[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] kkaya:
about 5): it annoyed me seeing that problem especially in YouTube when the notch suddenly is in the way of 18:9 videos. One fix for it is if you go into the settings for the notch and black out the space around it. I don't think it looks as pretty but the video won't be intruded so it's a fix for me atleast

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mquisuisje:
My Huawei mate 8 (latest firmware NXT-AL10 8.0.0.839) was purchased in China. I had no problem installing Google services without root. 2 days ago I could not connect to the play store anymore. I had a server error. After 2 days I thought it probably did not come from the server. I looked on the net and followed tutorials. I tried to clear the cache and data, delete my google account and put it back. Nothing works. After uninstalling Play Store, I wanted to reinstall it impossible :(. Whatever the version, I have this message: the system failed to install the package because it tries an authorization that it is already by some packages (in adb it does not work either). For info, all other applications google can be reinstalled without problems and I have no problem to create a Google account in the settings.

I figured if I redo the whole procedure using GSMinstaller, it should work. Big mistake, Unable to uninstall Google Play Services. The procedure stops there.

For info the application GoogleInstaller (version 2 or 3) does not work either. I have this message: "System failed to install the package because it tries an authorization that is already by some packages

So back to square one. How to reinstall the Play Store? I would like to avoid doing a factory restore because I'm not sure that on Emui_8, GSMinstaller works.

Waiting for your answers

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] eyeatoma:
My NFC toggle on the pull down menu is permanently disabled, and I'm not sure how. When I search NFC, and look at the app, the disable icon can't be pressed and it says the app is disabled.

However when I go to connections and choose NFC I am able to turn it on.

I don't think it's actually on though, because as I tap my phone to my SONY headphones nothing happens. I believe this is because the toggle switch is permanently disabled.

I have package disabler pro, and I removed all the apps that were disabled so everything is enabled now.

I restarted the device multiple times, but nothing works.

Not sure what is going on, but I really want to be able to connect to my headphones with NFC, bluetooth works, but it is the NFC I'm looking for.

Can someone please tell me how I can reenable it (so that I can press the button on the pull down menu)?
