In a firmware you've downloaded. In this particular case the SM-G960F_2_20200114090255_fqpv57iq4m_fac.zip archive contains bunch of .tar.md5 files which are nothing more than tar archives, among them is AP_G960FXXU7DTAA_CL17633310_QB28571021_REV01_user_low_ship_meta_OS10.tar.md5 which contains the boot.img.lz4, which is a boot.img you're looking for, compressed with lz4.

Nope I need my warranty for now have to replace the battery. Phone is cool now didn't reset it I will give it a day to see how it performs
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xMandy:
Can I ask which "tricks" you use to get these programs running?

I use TWRP to flash Magisk, renamed Magisk-Manager, in Magisk hided allmost everything - sure all the named apps - but still they don't work.

Any hint or instruction would be great!

thx so far
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hekarath:
I wrote a guide some time ago covering all these "tricks", you can find it here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/guide-stock-firmware-debloated-storage-t3961024

It's divided into sections, just find what you're interested in and follow the steps :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] marquelito:
You can still encrypt phone with root? Just doesnt install twrp?

And after you had to wipe data?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hekarath:
That is correct. Without TWRP encryption works perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] marquelito:
And need to wipe after the warning?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matthew_oreo9999:
Any visible changes from last beta?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hekarath:
Yes, wipe is required. Fortunately only for the first boot image installation - afterwards Magisk Manager is able to live patch the boot image (it has the root access at that point).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] marquelito:
So you have to flash boot.img again after the wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hekarath:
Wipe will be done after you'll flash the new firmware and for the final time after flashing the Magisk-patched boot.img.

The android 10 Update got released in Germany and (partially I think) the US.

Note to everyone Who got the update and experienced lag: it's only temporary. The lags disappeared on the next day for me. Maybe try clearing the cache.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Look the first lost under "from where to download the firmware". I used samfirm to download it and flash it through Odin.

I don't have any lag, but I did factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] And-rois:
You did factory reset before or after installing?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
After the update from the recovery, but after the boot, I got a weird message that the phone was forced factory reset and I need to confirm my identity. I guess this is some protection if is stolen.

The sad part is I maybe discovered a bug. When I try to use an intelligence scan I couldn't scan my iris. It gave me an error a few times immediately before to scan anything. Turns out it worked when I checked "Scan only one iris."

Can anyone confirm this? I shouldn't experience any of this since I did a factory reset. The weird part is I didn't have such issue on the beta :confused:

PS:

I saw people at Questions & Answers subforum opening a new thread for every issue. I think we can stick to one place, to share the problems, like here? Although everyone is free to do what he wants. Also, I didn't receive the update, I download it through SamFirm and flashed it via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
No Iris Problem here.

I also made a factory reset yesterday after installing final build.

Also the rest problem you mentioned was the FRP lock.

You either flashed clean with Odin, or did a factory reset in recovery and did not remove your Samsung and google account from the device before this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] crazybep:
I also had some strange behavior while using iris scanner. Had to try a couple of times for it to register. I have the exynos s9 +. With the latest beta6. That is the main reason why i returned back to android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
That's interesting. I guess it may take a while to polish everything though. Too lazy at the moment to do a second factory reset.

Correct, I forgot about that. For a moment I was feeling like I stole my own phone :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xMandy:
Thank you, you're my man! ;)

Google Pay works now, but Samsung Health still is complaining...

Do I have to uninstall that apps first and to re-install after using the script? Or no reboot after using the script?

And - do your Tricks still work with Android 10?

thx again!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hekarath:
I've applied these step by step on Android 10 - all worked fine. For S-Health go with the second method described in the guide (Magisk module). There is a small change at point 5. however, you should select 4th option instead of 5th in the latest version of 'props' tool. I'm going to correct this in the guide.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
You wrote a good guide, can't believe it has only 4 thanks. Maybe you should copy/paste it in S9+ Discussions too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] marquelito:
Strange thing, i cant edit wtv (build.prop/delete system apps/even rename in system) after edit something in system after boot it returns to normal. Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CamoGeko:
Judging from the way his Guide is written, and what its for... I'd suggest putting it in Android General. Since it seems like it's relevant to way more than just 1 or 2 Samsung models.

Feel like this would be a good place for it:

https://xdaforums.com/android/general

Obviously, if [MENTION=9891193]Hekarath[/MENTION] does post it there it would be worth mentioning that its for Samsung devices mainly. :good:

Definitely OneUI 2.0 is feeling more completed. I like how the widgets adjusting to the dark theme without my need to set them to be dark. This morning I noticed one more change. This is why I love Samsung, all the litttes changes that they made in the software which make you happy using their device.

When I reciced notification from telegram with link, I was able to open it through Samsung Browser (Which now is can be more personalized than ever! You guys should check it ) without to open the message.

Ps

I love also the new dynamic wallpapers for the lock screen.

I think is too early for that. I had pretty bad battery life before that because I have a lot if apps and I did the mistake to restore my back. Had to start on clean CD baka me. So I won't be the best example for this.

What I can share so far is that there is new interface in battery menu. Also I don't see SOT time and display battery consumption. But there is new option for batter saving, which can't be work with the old battery saving mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
factory reset is not a must...

only when you have problems...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
I see a conflict in your question :D You are running beta and asking to flash the stable or not.

To answer on your question I will say that... The battery life on this phone is bad for me on any android build since I got it :D The problem with all-the-time running in background apps is still there. It's not fixed at all. For example if I use telegram for 10 min, it will run on background for 3h more. I really don't understand what Samsung is doing. Putting apps to sleep is simply isn't working at all. Kinda disappointed by the final version, tbh.

If it isn't only me, probably Samsung duckin it up on purpose the phone so you can upgrade, just my thoughts there. I will do indeed at some point, I really love Samsung and everything that they have to offer to the users, but I may consider something with better battery life.

However, by heavily debloating the phone, disabled more than 170 stuff with Package Disabler seems to increase the battery life a bit for me. I can get up to 3.5H to 5H SOT, depends on the user.

It's not hate to the device, I really love it and as I said a few pages ago it is the best one that I ever had so far. Almost perfect - the front camera is where should be, it has 3.5mm jack. But the battery lfie could be better.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xMandy:
The method with Magisk and the modules worked for me - great help and great thanks!

Hopefully you can and will help me with this:

Is there by any chance also a way to "trick" the update function? It says something like "your system has been modified"... Is this caused by TWRP or can I somehow get around?

Till now I have to update manually via Odin and Frija (with HOME_CSC)... And I'm not sure if I can go this way from Android 9 to Android 10 without reseting everything? Any hint or is it safe?

And again - thank you for your help and your guides!

[MENTION=9891193]Hekarath[/MENTION]

Sorry to ask again, but this weekend I have time to fix/play/update my S9...

Your guide:

PART II - Rooting the device

Enable developers mode.

From the previously extracted Firmware copy the boot.img as well as Magisk Manager .apk files to your phone's storage, f.e. to Download folder.

Install Magisk Manager using .apk file.

From the Magisk Manager app select Install Magisk and point it to boot.img file.

Magisk will create the magisk_patched.img file. Copy it to your computer.

Reboot your phone to download mode again.

Flash the patched boot partition:

Code: sudo heimdall flash --BOOT magisk_patched.img

The device will reboot afterwards.

You will be notified that the integrity check failed and reset is required - go on with that.

... I'm on windows and using Odin. No experience with linux.

Where do I have to flash the created patched boot.img file? I guess it should be on AP. since the boot.img is part of it?

And the last one (at least for this time) ;) Till now I'm using TWRP. With your script I don't need TWRP anymore and nevertheless can root my mobile.

So it's the best to take the chance for a clean install of android 10 using Odin. Without TWRP, instead using your script to get root? And flashing patched boot.img as AP?

thx for your support
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] And-rois:
Its just for clean install you know, I mean best way for get everything set on right place just that.

do u see any changes? or its the same??
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mohmd.nagy:
My S9+ is on XSG

If I updated using DBT or BTU will it change my CSC or it remains the same?

and will be still receiving future OTA updates through my original CSC or the flashed CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Feels like everything is the same. Except I that I had an issue with iris registration that I didn't have on the beta. Also, apps seem to running all the time in backgrounds, which shouldn't happen. everything else feels the same..Oh, I can download Netflix from Play Store now.

My CSC reminds the same. Don't remember if its conflict with OTA's. I guess we are about to find out.

But in general, it shouldn't, because now the CSC, after Note 8, depends on what SIM card you are using. My advice is to use HOME_CSC instead of CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
Flashing a DBT firmware will not change your current CSC and you will still get updates from your current CSC which is XSG. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
But Updates will only come, if The installer Firmware package (AP, BL, CP and CSC Version) was Offical released as an OTA Update from samsung for the active CSC.

Otherwise there will never be an update via OTA/SmartSwitch again.

Both will show, that the newest firmware is installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
I'm gonna stick with this build for now, because this is the last big update for this device and from now on will be only security patches. Except for the next one I think if there is some bugs, the next one should fix them.

BTW:

Here is a mirror to Google Drive, in case anyone still needs it:

Device: SM-G965F(S9+)

Does anyone know if there is much of a chance that the S9 beta 3 to stable patch will be released?

I'm out of the USA so have been manually installing each beta.

Just trying to figure out if I should wait or do a full flash (loose all my stuff) to the stable release.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
No.

This won't be released.

Also you wound need every beta between 3 and final.

Just flash with AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC and your data should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 59ctd:
Is the final release of Android 10 still forthcoming for the unlocked SM-G965U1 in the USA? I am on T-Mobile network and have been checking every few days. I am on one of the betas but not sure which one - ends with ZTA1 I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
but were you offical enrolled in the beta program?

If not you will never get the update.

you have to flash manually then.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 59ctd:
I am unsure what that means. I did the sign up on the Samsung Members app on the phone and I also have the One UI Beta app on the phone too. I know I've probably installed the original beta and maybe two addl since then over the past several months. Is this "official enrolled in the beta program" way of doing it? I have not downloaded anything or installed anything other than when it has prompted for OTA install.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
yes, then it should be fine.

I compared my android 9 S9's camera to an android 10 S10+'s camera in direct sunlight, my S9 seemed much sharper in the foreground while the S10+ struggles and everything seemed like a painting, I'm afraid the camera will be worse after android 10.

Also portrait shots of the S10+ were much better with HDR, after the update it's so bad and noisy sometimes.
