I want to ask, i flash android 10 dbt firmware and my phone is xme do i get software update ota in my phone or do i have to flash manually at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Excuse me but..What the hell ?! ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] brouwerchris:
Looks fine here
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
you changed the CSC?

or flashed the A10 Firmware that is not released for your CSC yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
I flashed CSC by mistake but didn't change my CSC. But I guess this can be the problem. Is okay for know, gonna think about it when there is a new update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mohmd.nagy:
My current CSC is XSG, flashed through Odin DBT before few days, but still showing in Software Details CSC is XSG

Am I gonna get future updates through XSG or DBT or will not get at all?

How did you flash Magisk without TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vegh_mark97:
I am interested in it too!

I was looking for a root method for the stabil 10 but I have not found anything yet..

The method I used for the 9 is not working the DM-Verity disabler cannot mount the partitions..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Piereligio:
I think I just managed to do it, by making a modded boot.img file to be flashed on Odin. Basically you extract the boot.img.lz4 from the AP file, you make it an img file with lz4 extract tool from github, then you copy it in your phone and install Magisk Manager. Then from it, you hit install, create edited boot img, you select the boot.img file. It will create a magisk_patched.img in download folder, you copy it in your computer, you compress it with 7zip in tar format, and flash it with Odin tool in the AP section.

EDIT: this works fine for Titanium Backup, but is it normal that I cannot write in system partition?

EDIT2: I can't recommend this method. It's very unsafe for data loss.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kruk07:
There will be another update soon. Samsung responded to my bug report and stated that this will be fixed on the next update and that the update will be available soon.

Probably with February security patch.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 59ctd:
Android 10 for the SM-G965U1 US unlocked were posted to sammobile yesterday. I just downloaded and updated via Odin. Looks good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leonardojt:
It is true, all U1 firmware all available at sammobile. But did it wipe when you flashed or you still have your data? who can upload it on faster site?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 59ctd:
I did not wipe and all my data is intact without issues. I followed the five file update process outlined on the page where the download is and used the HOME CSC file.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leonardojt:
Can someone upload the g965u1 OTA file? The full firmware is Huge
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
To give some feedback for the battery life. Even the most app still running in the background, after the factory reset everything seems better. Every day I managed to get around 4,30-5h of SOT.

I disabled everything unnecessary ofcourse and trying to keep it clean, like avoiding to install some apps like Alieexpress.

For me, personally is very good. At some point I had a lot of apps and had to charge it twice a day. The SOT where around 2-3H.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 59ctd:
I can do that but where would I upload it to?

Edit: My bad - I notice now you said the OTA file. I have only the full firmware file which is huge and took 4+ hours to download.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jamil aboudaher:
I should factory reset *after* updating, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
It's recommended to do it. This way you will avoid any issues after that and may increase the battery life.

Hey guys. So I can't use NFC payment with Android 10. My original csc is Turkey and it's still didn't get the upgrade. I really use it a lot so should I flash Android 9 to get it back or is it a 10 problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
NFC is working fine with A10 here.

What App do you want to use it with?

Here with Google Pay it is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Weuiwer:
It's a local bank app which creates virtual card inside for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
then it is a problem of the App with A10 !?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Weuiwer:
Other bank app doesn't validate my phone as available and doesn't install the virtual card. Probably you're right but the app is also available for Note 10 and other devices as well so wouldn't it cover A10 upgrade ? Also didn't have a problem on Beta 6
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] And-rois:
Should we do it form recovery or from setting? Any difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
I think is the same. However, when I did it from recovery when I start the one I received the message that someone force reboot it and I need to confirm my identity.

PS

Can anyone confirm if the one hand mode is working? Seems like I can't activate it.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] brouwerchris:
You'll receive OTA for BNG only,but you can always install latest updates through Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blud7:
Updated to Android 10 OTA. The update wiped my data.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kruk07:
I think that update always says to ensure that data is backed up as update potentially can cause data deletion or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Indeed. Never heard of such an issue. Any way is a good idea always to make a backup before such big update.

I received and installed the update on my S9 exynos.

I didn't do a factory reset yet because I have exams and I don't have a lot of time to do this stuff, but surprisingly everything seems smoother and faster, but I noticed that the transition of the clock between the always on display and the lock screen is a bit laggy.

Do someone have this issue? And will it become smoother after a few days?

I got the update and after that do the factory reset then let battery completely drain and after turning off the phone full charge it.

Now everything nice except i want uninstall lots of apps and customize navigation but can't just these.

I think we will get couple fixing update and performance improvements in next months so don't worry and don't forget factory reset helps you a lot

Thank you for your tip.

I just had some time and tried it. My phone could not even boot after flashing.. It threw me back to download. I flashed only the original boot.img as a .tar and fortunately got no data loss!

I hope there comes some solution soon. (I don't even care if I have to use TWRP.)

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I just tried it with Magisk patched boot.img, but no success.. My phone could not even boot with it. (See my prev. reply I just posted.)

I previously tried to root it with a TWRP method that worked on Pie, but it did not work here either.

Sadly I could not find a working way to root it just yet.

With this update missed call led notification is still not fixed but they managed to break another thing. After missed call if you go to the recent calls list, missed call notification is not disappearing. You need to go and clear manually from the notification bar.

Haven't modded a phone in years, but last night I got Android 10 on my Tmobile 965U (which Tmobile doesn't support for Android 10), and got rid of the Tmobile bloatware and annoying pink boot screen too.

Download and install Samsung Smart Switch for Windows (for the drivers on my Win7 PC, you can uninstall it once you're done)

Download and install Frija 1.4.2 to download firmware

Download and install Patched Odin v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD to flash firmware

Open Frija and start downloading Android 10 (4-5GB): I used "SM-G965U1" for the model and "XAA" as the CSC. Depending on what phone you have this will be different. You can get your phone's current firmware in the settings. Details on 965U vs 965U1; they are interchangeable but have benefits and drawbacks.

(I chose to install 965U1 instead of 965U because it doesn't have the carrier bloatware, and "XAA" is the version that is generic U.S. with no carrier branding). The list of CSC codes can be found here (note one error on the list, USC = US Cellular.)

While the firmware is downloading, connect the phone to your PC using original USB cable and perform any backups you need to do

(I used the SMS Backup and Restore app on my phone to dump my call logs and texts to a folder on the phone itself)

(I then copied the SMS databases, my photos, downloads, etc. off of the phone to the PC (always a good idea to backup your files before fiddling around with your phone, plus I wanted to do a clean install))

Now that the firmware files are downloaded from Frija, unzip the archive and load the individual files into Odin. First, run Odin as an administrator. Don't change any of the settings (make sure re-partition is not checked). Leave your phone connected by USB and power off the phone. Reboot the phone in Download Mode: push Bixby + Volume Down + Power simultaneously when the phone is off. Wait until you get a blue light in Odin, meaning that Odin recognized your phone. Add the firmware files to their designated slots in Odin (AP in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, "HOME_CSC" in CSC if you don't want to lose your apps and settings, or put "CSC" in CSC if you want a factory reset (I did)). Click the start button and it should start flashing. If not, google around until you figure out the issue with your connection between Odin and your phone. Takes a few minutes to flash, and then you're on Android 10!

Once you can get back into your phone, update all your apps, THEN uninstall or disable the ones you don't want. If you don't update first, the initial update will reinstall Samsung bloatware that you just uninstalled. I also used this guide to disable apps that can't be disabled or uninstalled from within the phone. Also if you want to block ads, check this thread.

Thanks to all the developers that made all this possible! We love you!

I haven't noticed any difference in the camera quality from stable 9 to stable 10. It's good.
