To fix your internal storage showing 32GB left instead of 108 (128GB) you need to:

-Resize data partition in twrp.

-or Format data in twrp.

-or select all files in odin so it won't resize your partition

-or use pit file so your device will know each partition size and won't resize internal storage

Can I flash A705fn with a705mn
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
nope sadly you cant change to a region not shipped with your phone

Can I flash different region firmware but the same model code?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Carlosk1966:
Yes you can.

My Region SIM (Slovenia) Multi CSC: OVF

I flash Multi CSC: OVF from Region VDF (Netherlands) with no problem with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wings1995:
Can I ask some more info. You had flashed VDF over your old OVF right ? And after that what is your current CSC code ? Does it affect your SIM signal and KNOX ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Carlosk1966:
Yes i flashed VDF over my old OVF (SIM). My CSC code is the same like it was before and there is no affect on my SIM and Knox.

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!)

Boot the phone in TWRP, Back up the Boot partition, then go to install and press installation image, Select magisk_patched.img (it would be the recovey patched with odin) install to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work.

* If you experience problems after this, go to TWRP and restore the boot partition (BOOT) that was previously backed up. ok?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Italiandoitbetter:

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
To boot in recovery or boot the system with Magisk installed:

1. Powering up normally → System without Magisk

2. Power + Volume Up → Bootloader warning → Release all buttons → System with Magisk

3. Power + Volume Up → Bootloader warning → Keep holding volume up → Actual recovery

for twrp flash a blank vbmeta image that will allow twrp install

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Awkydee:
No I mean that theres no magisk installed... I thought I figured it out but it is not. I have flashed it over and over and doing the button combo and going through setup and it just not installed everytime

Edit: maybe I'm using the wrong magisk version?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
download latest magisk manager from there https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.5.1/MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk and it will prompt you to install complementary files to make magisk stick

Boot Loop

Followed this guide, and am now in a bootloop at the moment. Is this a known issue, and is there a way out of it?

It's an A705-MN and was on the J1 update before I proceeded.

P.S. Can't seem to get it into download mode or anything, just gets to the Samsung Galaxy A70 screen with the red text warning, then back to the unlocked bootloader screen over and over. No button combinations have been able to rectify this loop.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
you need to connect cable to laptop , then press and hold volume up and down together until you see download mode
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Please take this as just a suggestion, possible alternative sequence, if you are having trouble. Try plugging in cable *after* pressing buttons on the phone. I have not tried this sequence on this device, but it has worked on other Samsung devices.

Hi Bk, I finally resized userdata, according to you, just flashing:

1) Ap firmware patched in Odin with no autoreboot

2) Manually reboot in stock recovery

3) format data\factory reset

Now my question: when will arrive new firmware, obviously it will be patched, then May I dirty flash patched + HOME_CSC, without flashing new stock firmware?

I don't want to reinstall again all data nor backup with titanium nor install twrp, thx
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
your device variant is FN or MN ? an update is out since 4 days on A705FN (SEK)

you won't loose data if you don't flash CSC.

Hi, mine is A705FN ( ITV) variant
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] guinhill:
I'll have to assume that I'm doing something wrong.

I got the new update: SM-A705FN_1_20200109093929_009bv19g97_fac

Extracted the AP_A705FNXXU5ASL4_CL17532319_QB28287412_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar.md5

Put it trough Magisk.

And installed the magisk_patched.tar in the AP spot with Odin.

My Device was reset ( not a big deal, all the important data is on and SD, and Titanium backup got the app data. )

magisk_patched.tar\ contains:

meta-data

vendor.img.ext4.lz4

vbmeta.img

userdata.img.ext4.lz4

system.img.ext4.lz4

recovery.img

persist.img.ext4.lz4

dtbo.img.lz4

boot.img

Should I have removed the userdata.img.ext4.lz4 from the tar?

And the Internal storage partition size is off again.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
does a factory reset or resize data in twrp to fix incorrect partition
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] guinhill:
Yes, that was fixed quickly. By way of the default recovery Factory Reset.

Remain the issue that there is no way to install new patched firmware in "dirty mode"... :(
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] guinhill:
I wonder tough. would excluding userdata.img.ext4.lz4 from the tar? keep your user settings safe.

I'm currently not inclined to test, but next update I'll experiment with that again.

I did the last time, but I'm new to Samsung devices and flashing with Odin, So I was not succesfull. Just happy I have it working at all.

For now I know that good old Titanium Backup works just fine for the restore.

Flash o2 firmware for UK

Hello i bought a A705FN from a department store in UK England, unbranded.

I want to flash official carrier o2 UK firmware.

Is this possible without root?

Previously i have a Galaxy s9+ and it was on Three network firmware. But the process was: just put in my o2 sim and flash the latest o2 firmware via odin and it worked.

Is the process the same for the A70?

Just Want To Update Baseband/Modem/Radio Firmware

I'm currently using LOS17 20191203 (might try Havoc, or even go back to LOS16), but from what I've read it's a good idea to keep the Baseband up to date.

I think thought I understand the procedure (just flash the CP part of downloaded firmware, right?). I'm still researching, but if someone has any input I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Done

It booted just fine. Installed Riru - Clipboard Whitelist Android 10,

and when it 'Rebooted' to install, it never booted back up. Hooked up to PC and tried to go to 'Download' mode but does nothing.

BRICKED

if i unlock bootloader do i need to install stock firmware or can i just take the firmware thats on it and root it and install twrp on it?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
take the firmware that's on it? just download latest firmware or your prefered firmware.

(check cause you can't downgrade under U5 if you are on binary 5 for example).

unpack it and place the AP anywhere on your device (like download folder) and select it from magisk to patch it.

-or but you need a blank vbmeta.img zipped as .tar extension ;

after unlocking bootloader and downloading your prefered firmware, flash a vbmeta.img and then a patched recovery.img

(patched with magisk manager) to gain root access.

on recents galaxy devices you can't root by flashing magisk in twrp cause it's not supported yet.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] frajofa:
Q1 - In the bootloader (locked or unlock?) part or in the root part?

Q2 - If Samsung (in the A70) presents a new ROM, I update it directly in the A70, or wait to be disponible here to do again your Magisk process for root?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] BK☑️:
this question is way more clear and understandable, when a new firmware is available, download it and extract the AP file and put it in the download folder then patch it to obtain a magisk_patched.tar file to flash in odin. also for the 128GB fix, just choose the way you prefer.
