[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pcriz:
I flashed to TMobile (flashed all files but userdata) from unlocked, no wipe. When I got into updates I get the following:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] stu5797:
I get that as well pcriz. I am assuming to get TMobile otas you have to flash all files including USERDATA. Flashing userdata will erase data so you should use the regular csc when flashing if you want true otas.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Nothing I enjoy more than setting up my phone when I should be sleeping.

I'll give it a try, maybe that will bring back visual voicemail in the dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] wolfgart:
guys can you confirm that FM Radio tuner is not more enabled ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pcriz:
The app fails to connect. Could be disabled. Could be gone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Flashed everything. No longer says my software is unauthorized in system update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] stu5797:
Awesome. So to get TMobile otas you have to flash all TMobile 950U files (not TMobile 950U1) including USERDATA. If you don't want to lose your data you can flash the other files with Home csc and just skip userdata.

If you decide to skip userdata then every time there is an update you will have to manually flash the same new files with home csc so you get the update and not lose data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] FordPrfct:
Well dang. I am also seeing the "unsupported software" message.

If somebody does a full flash, let us know if that message is still there? If not, I'll be deciding whether starting from scratch now is worth not having to hand-update for the life of the phone.

Edit: hadn't seen page 3 when I posted. Gonna get some sleep before making any hasty decisions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
This is the way it's always been. If you mix and match ODIN files, or only partially flash a firmware, it will break OTAs. OTAs check your system to make sure that 1: it's official firmware, and 2: it matches exactly what it expects to see.

If you want the T-Mo firmware and OTAs you need to flash the full firmware.

By the way, if you back up to Google, Samsung Cloud, and make a back up to your SD Card Samsung Switch before flashing and wiping, you can just damn near clone your phone if you restore from all three of those services. Not exactly, but pretty close.

Restore from Google and Samsung Cloud first. Once those are done, then restore your back up from your SD Card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] bupac:
So what's the benefit of flashing Tmobile firmware? I'm on Tmobile using an unlocked 10+ but don't want to go through the hassle of flashing firmware if it's just a marginal benefit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DeeXii:
Video Calling & RCS mainly. The rest is not confirmed. I was running unlocked for a few days and then switched to TMO firmware. While it could be a placebo but my speeds are faster and my phone feels more solid.

I am also getting better battery life which is for sure not a placebo. But I am not sure if that was the firmware's doing or just the fact that I rest and flashed a firmware from scratch.

Also, T-Mobile firmware gets "Carrier Configuration Version" updates (located in the software information).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DeeXii:
I was able to get OTA with all files excluding USERDATA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jkgao:
The only thing that I noticed that was different was that there was video calling but I didn't really care about that. What I was looking for was the native visualvoice mail but I couldn't get that to work. Also it looks like the T-Mobile version of the phone app also doesn't have the smart contacts or whatever that finds businesses and stuff for numbers you've called so that's a bummer. Flashing back to the unlocked version now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DeeXii:
Video calling and also RCS (Rich Communication Services / Enhanced Messaging) doesnt work unless on T-Mobile firmware. This can affect pictures that are sent from someone that has RCS as regular old SMS can only display downsampled pictures and less data.

Obviously it also stops typing indicators and delivered receipts etc. There are probably other network advantages as well but the ones mentioned are the confirmed ones. Regarding visual voice mail, the app backed into the tmo rom is the same as the one from the play store but just baked into the rom. Also just FYI, you can use the Metro visual VM feom the play store as well. I've heard this works better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jkgao:
Yea, I don't text much so RCS isn't of an issue to me. Mostly use Telegram or Messenger for my communications. For the VM I was thinking that it'd be built in to the phone app like some versions that I've seen. I know this works on the Google Pixel/Nexus phones that I've had but I've never owned a T-Mobile branded Samsung phone before so idk how it'd work. Just didn't want to use to the ugly T-Mobile app if I could avoid it but I guess not. It looks like the Metro app is similar to the T-Mobile one but with a purple instead of magenta theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DeeXii:
It is easy to disable the T-Mobile apps via either ADB or Package disabler.

Nevermnd lol after reading it again I understand. Ya the Metro looks the same but purple lol.

I have heard it works better. A friend of mine had some issues with the TMO one and he resolved it by using the Metro one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] coolest35:
Sorry to bump an old thread.

I have an Samsung unlocked Note 10 (970U1) trying to get to TMO firmware, using Frija, I can download the TMB FW and flash using ODIN directly right? Or is there a step I missed?

Do I still need to insert the SIM and do the whole "Reboot to provision carrier data"?
[Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite Accessories] chris.arney:
The screen and MPen are more slick than I like. Does anyone have a good screen protector recommendation improves the pen experience?
[Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite Accessories] lpinho:
Edit: One day after placing the screen protector, everything is fine, I don't understand what happened... Ignore my post

Hi Chris,

sorry for stealing your thread, did you manage to buy a screen protector?

I bought one but the pen doesn't work with it, it's like it doesn't detect the touch of the pen in the screen, although the buttons get highlighted when the pen is over them.

Thanks,

-- bit more friendly stock -> lineage instructions --

1. Unlock the bootloader

- Connect to WiFi network

- Enable OEM Unlock in developer options

- Turn off the tablet

- Boot to download mode manually by plugging in USB and holding all the buttons for few seconds

- Follow instructions on the screen

2. Connect to WiFi network and make sure OEM Unlock in developer options is still checked

3. Flash custom VBMeta image ( https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi/vbmeta.tar.html ) in Odin ( use AP slot )

4. After flashing VBMeta, boot to stock. It'll likely ask you to wipe data, if so do that

5. Connect to WiFi network and make sure OEM Unlock in developer options is still checked

6. Now you can flash TWRP ( https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi ) in Odin ( use AP slot once again ), for convenience you can hold volume up while flashing it so that you boot to recovery right after it's flashed

7. Install Lineage × whatever else you need ( gapps, addon-su, ... )

8. Format data

9. Reboot ( make sure to not install TWRP app when TWRP asks you to )

---

Also Odin download for those who can't find it on their own https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/Odin_3.13.1.zip

Damn @LuK1337 you're all over this thing. About to install (well, at least try to) TWRP using terminal, then I'll do this.

Perfect timing, too. I just did the whole 'prepare for imminent disaster' thing so I could do some extreme debloating/deleting of stuff I don't want on my tablet.

I'll report my experience here.

Wow! Great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RagingHarry:
Install twrp with odin..

1st recovery

2nd vbmeta

Vbmeta's install failed a few times for me, just reboot back to bootloader if you get stuck on getting connection, then try vbmeta again.

That also depends on what firmware your on, June firmware was a easy on installing recovery and using key combo go to recovery, just worked.

Latest update, Juli needs vbmeta to be flashed, otherwise you (might} get an error about non compatible vbmeta installed atm you use the key combos to boot to recovery from bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LuK1337:
1. flash vbmeta from twrp website

2. boot stock; it'll ask you to wipe data, do that.

4. make sure to connect to wifi on stock and that oem unlocking is selected

5. flash recovery, keep holding vol up while flashing

7. sideload lineage × gapps

8. wipe data

10. reboot

11. profit?

There is a Magisk module called MagiskHide Props Config https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228

According to this thread the problem has to do with the "fingerprint" of the rom and suggests replacing it with a different fingerprint. I am starting to wade through this 100 page thread. But I am also hoping that somebody has figured this out already and has produced simple instructions for the S5e.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] jackspeed:
You don't have to. As written in the first paragraph of the OP, there's a quite good documentation on github: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf/blob/master/README.md

There is no need for s5e specific instructions.

EDIT: In short, install, reboot, open a local terminal, type "props", and follow the instructions. S3 works.

Thank you. I can now pass the safetynet test. I've never done anything with magisk modules before.

I still cannot get Netflix. It does not show up in the play store. But it now shows up in my library with the "install" button. But it does not let me download and install. One suggestion was to wait 24 hours. Another comment said Netflix won't install on "unlocked" devices. Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: I also was able to install Netflix from APKPure.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RagingHarry:
Thnx for the tip, tab s3 works indeed.

Play store doesn't show Netflix but apkpure now finally installs properly, instead of ending in segmented download or errors like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RagingHarry:
Up to date Netflix, was before at 6.21.xxxx from Febuary

Didn't seem to have this problem on stock, guess we need someone to provide a valid signature of a stock rom that does updates to Netflix 7.xx.xx versions
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RagingHarry:
Could someone with stock rom and magisk installed and is able to update Netflix in play store to 7.xx.x versions instead of 6.21.x install this module in magisk and backup the device I'd signature..

This might help tackling down a signature problem for custom roms

Download the module here, install in magisk, reboot, open terminal, su, type "props" and follow instructions and save fingerprint, post that fingerprint file

I assume there is no way of getting HD Netflix to work as once the bootloader is unlocked Widevine DRM L1 drops to L3. Even with Magisk there seems to be no way around this. Same issue for HD on Amazon prime video.

Follow precisely the instructions from 2nd post of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] OhioYJ:
So I did something.... I pretty much immediately lost access to my SD card in LOS, it works in TWRP though. It did work initially in LOS. Part way through the setup it stopped working, and then from that point on LOS just reports it as corrupted and formatting it as portable does not fix it. I can format it in my PC and it works fine, and will continue to work in TWRP. Formatting it as internal, locks settings up and then crashes the storage option in settings. I can't seem to get a log, it says:

/system/bin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: Permission denied

The last thing I remember doing was changing the device finger print using the Magisk Hide Props Module (I know....). Undoing this change does not do anything. I believe it maybe time for a clean install, and try everything again. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] OhioYJ:
It seems changing the device fingerprint upsets things and makes it so I can no longer readSD cards. (Doesnt happen on other devices with SD cards, like the Tab S2). Clean install, delete the partitions from the SD card (it ended up with two?), and format it in a PC and it works again. That is until the device fingerprint is changed. The SD card could not be formatted in LOS or TWRP. TWRP would format it, but LOS wouldn't read it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] jackspeed:
Strange. Changed the fingerprint to s3 and after a few weeks back again to the original value. There was not a single problem reading sdcards here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] OhioYJ:
Appreciate the response. So Ive noticed the "root" guide has Magisk using the patch method. When I installed Magisk I installed LOS and Gapps, booted, and went back into recovery and then installed Magisk flashing it like most other devices (It wouldnt flash at the same time as Gapps, it errors out). I assume this was OK being a custom ROM and not trying to root the stock OS?

I guess its possible the SD card Im using is flakey, it was one that was included with the tablet from Samsung. Ive ordered a higher quality / higher capcity one anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] marvi0:
Probably a lame question but does appstosd card or adoptable storage work which means apps can be installed directly to sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] deezid:
Do you think stock rom is affected by that as well?

Do basically I can decide if I'm ok with a laggy tablet but great quality on Netflix and Amazon prime or smooth tablet with terrible streaming quality on these services?

Nice

Wish Samsung will finally fix their messy software...
