Now into March and still no security update or any Android 10 update for the so called Samsung 'Flagship' Tab S6. Interesting how they take care of there 'Flagship' devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] meduza:
Yeah man! I complained via Samsung Members already ... . It's leak of security with the patch from last year. Irresponsible in my opinion.

No, we will have to wait for T860 update

T860XXU1BTC7 out for DBT
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kupferkopf:
My SM-T860 (wifi) is downloading the update ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharFalco:
I have a USA 860. What about us?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nrage23:
You can install the DBT version with Odin. As long as you use the HOME CSC it will not wipe your device. I just did it. All seems to be working fine. You then Odin the XAR version once it is available in order to get your normal updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharFalco:
Will using the DBT version break Knox / CTS / Safetynet? I can come back to XAR like I never left later, right? I'm bootloader locked, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cdkg:
I'm wondering the exact same thing!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CharFalco:
As someone who took the plunge I used Freja to download the firmware and then flashed CSC_home to keep my apps and data. Netflix works, Google Store works. Everything appears to work fine. Your mileage may vary.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techguy777:
What do you mean data intact? You also don't root your S6 but you use XDA?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stuart R:
Worked fine for me as well. I believe these are all multi-CSC images just like those for the Galaxy S and Note series smartphones. Anyway, my CSC stayed the same after loading it.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmwils3:
So I saw on sammobile that there is a different firmware for Chinese tab s6 WiFi models. Are these safe for flashing on other regions and does anyone know the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeltrah123:
I'm wondering this as well, I know with the Galaxy S and Note lines at least here in the U.S, you can flash carrier firmware on the unlocked model or vice versa without tripping knox and having issues.

Flashed DBT firmware on my XAR tablet

I just flashed my US tablet (CSC: XAR) with a Germany firmware (CSC: DBT). Put the firmware's HOME_CSC file in Odin's CSC section (this keeps my CSC as XAR).

Works really well. Safetynet is intact, for those who are wondering. I believe there's no difference among many of the T860 firmwares because they are multi CSC.

The new firmware feels a lot smoother/more fluid somehow:

Task switching feels closer to iPad than before. Better animation

Speakers are louder now

There's a Privacy section in the Settings

WiFi options are more intuitive

More consistent dark theme

Various icons have been updated

DeX window management seems a bit better, although still sucks

A couple of new features like Daily Board and Music Share

Overall, I'm really happy about this update. While not a ground-breaking update, it brings a lot of needed refinements to the overall experience. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeltrah123:
Knox status is still 0x0 after doing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CervezaPorFavor:
Yup, still 0x0. Everything seems to be in order. Secure Folder works, Netflix works, fingerprint works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeltrah123:
Ok, I went ahead and did this as well, everything is good! I'm going to flash the official build for XAR once that gets released to avoid issues with future software updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CervezaPorFavor:
Just an update: I flashed the latest Korean (CSC: KOO) firmware T860XXU1BTD1 on my US (CSC: XAR) SM-T860 device. No issue whatsoever as far as I can tell.

Prior to this, I also successfully flashed a German firmware (CSC: DBT).

These OXM (multi CSC) firmwares seem truly interchangeable.

Note: I downloaded the firmwares using the Frija tool. It's the fastest free option.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmwils3:
What’s the difference with the new firmware? Is it a different security update? Different features or bug fixes?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CervezaPorFavor:
Samsung's official changelogs page doesn't say much: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-T860/DBT/doc.html

It's supposed to be a stability update but I haven't noticed anything different. Still March 2020 security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] clarkrj82:
When will Samsung release Android 10 for the US SM-T860? This is the reason I avoid their phones, updates take way too long.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Husker Kurt:
Actually, Samsung has gotten quite good about updates for their phones. My S10+ got Android 10 way back in December; the One UI 2.1 update with April security patch came early April, and that's with the delay that always comes with being on a US carrier. Some Samsung phones have already gotten the May security patch. That's quicker than even some Pixels. They've been pretty good about phone updates recently, apparently that hasn't transitioned to tablets.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeltrah123:

Does German DBT have built in call recording inside the phone app settings
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yeltrah123:
I don't know
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arobase404:
NO !

If you want call recording you have to change your CSC with one of the Asian Countries or maybe a Arabic CSC that allow call recording.

If your Tab S6 is rooted then you can install a Magisks module called Firefdskit.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Cecil12:
I bought this phone from a friend, he warned me the battery life is horrible and that hes replaced it twice already.

Factory reset after purchase, wasnt too bad, ive seen worse. This week though it started what I feared. Today lost 40% battery while at work, never touched it once, no apps running, restarted before leaving the house. I even kept the sensor covered so no 2nd screen, but 6 hours of not being used, not even a call or text, I pick it up and see 60% remaining...

I'll buy a new phone before i buy 10 batteries.

Suggestions much appreciated!

Root if possible and use a custom kernel, should help battery life significantly
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] woldranger:
Replace the battery! Look through the battery threads in the "accessories" section for suggestions.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DelphinusMinor:
My V20 has terrible battery life also, sadly. Now I am using the Mi Max 3 which I only have to plug in once a week. I bought a spare OEM battery for my V20 and the battery never charged. I love the V20 for it's camera and the quad DAC. I can't use it as a daily driver tho due to battery going flat rather rapidly and it can't be rooted to test kernels.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Madmonk33:
I had terrible battery life and thought it was one of my batteries as i have 2, but it turns out that its the software i was running oreo but downgraded to Android 7 and the battery life is fantastic. I have tried custom roms but they are missing camera and fm radio apps which i use. Hopefully if we get Android pie it will have a better battery life.

HELLO​

I bought Umidigi F1 Play (MT6771) about a month and i want to try some treble project cause my phone Support A/B Partition support ,

the problem is that you need a recovery that support A/B Partition Support (if it isnt any Gapps you would install will not detect that your phone is A/B support so it will be installed in /system instead of /system/system)

so I changed the updater-script to install gapps automatically on /system/system

this is just a temporary solution waiting for a recovery fix

Download : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-Dguq8rs4k4W7eZKA2KnJxB5fKXCw2Y-

Gapps is a nano type OpenGapps so faceunlock and other features is included

try it and leave a comment or a question

I have not taken the plunge yet, but I believe any changes need to be done systemless now through magisk. There are a few threads so far that reflect this so maybe someone in the know will stop in here and give more details than I can provide you...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
This is correct, for now.

There were several apps and functions that didn't work once I clean flashed to 10 (Oct image) Monday night.

Toggling ON Magisk Hide in magisk manager and clicking the "systemless host" in magisk manager with a reboot solved all of that for me.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DeyEatDaPooPoo:
I've been looking for a good, inexpensive phone my partner can use on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon and I was able to snatch an unlocked VS995 in excellent condition for $70--it just needs the battery replaced soon which I also ordered. The main downside to this model if you're using it on AT&T and T-Mobile is that it doesn't support Band 12 and 17, but I know the US Unlocked variant does. I just received the phone today. I've been searching on the forum for an answer into if this is possible with the VS995 variant and I've seen people say it is using an LG V20 version of LGUP, but haven't found anyone that's confirmed they've been able to do it on the Verizon and not the AT&T variant and the steps they took to do so.

I want to stay on the stock ROM so I'm not looking to root and install a custom one. Is it possible to convert from the VS995 firmware to US996 so I can gain band 12 and 17 while removing the Verizon bloatware and staying on the stock ROM/OS? If so, would anyone one of y'all be kind enough to post the link to a guide or article that details how to do so? I reset the phone to factory settings so thankfully don't have to do a backup. After doing this, is it still possible to receive OTA updates and, if so, are they gonna mess anything up like reverting the phone to stock firmware or the phone's unlocked status?

Thank y'all so much in advance. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ezzony:
I have a vs995 and I flashed it with US996_usa and working great. You need to download the us996 usa version (2.3GB KDZ) at lg-firmwares dot com and flash it with LGUP PATCHED. There is video on Youtube giving detailed instructions. You will be able to find all these easily via google. I don't know how any of this works with the various US carriers or bands as I'm in europe.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
As far as I'm aware, cross-flashing firmware on the V20 won't give you any additional frequency bands unlike some other phones, so you're still limited to what the VS995 has from the beginning. From what I've read, US996 firmware works fine on Verizon except for a few features such as WiFi calling and video calling.

As for AT&T and T-Mobile, you won't get VoLTE or WiFi calling along with the missing LTE bands, so, depending on where you live, overall coverage could be significantly worse than having the H910 (AT&T) and H918 (T-Mobile) models, respectively. Not having VoLTE would be a problem if you were in an LTE-only area without roaming because then you'd have no way to make or receive phone calls.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DeyEatDaPooPoo:
Thank you for the info. :) Are you referring to this video? I'd watched it before but it's for flashing the stock ROM on a US996 variant and the links in the description don't work.

Hmm, where did you read that? From what I've read the hardware/modem in the VS995 and US996 version is the same and therefore the difference only comes down to the carrier firmware artificially disabling bands the device supports just like it is on many other smartphones. I could be wrong, but one way to find out would be to do it myself and then try to connect to a Band 12 or 17 tower.

WiFi calling and video calling I'm totally fine with not having. Never used or needed them. With AT&T and Cricket I've never not had service and with Metro the couple times I haven't had T-Mobile service roaming has kicked in and saved the day. Thank you for the info. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
Here's some frequency band info for both the VS995 and US996:

VS995

US996

I'm pretty sure this is a hardware difference, and no firmware change will be able to add more band support unlike some other phones you may have heard about (such as recent U.S. models of Samsung phones). Otherwise, there would have been plenty of discussions and guides around here regarding this (and FWIW, I happen to own a US996, LS997, and H918).

As for LTE Band 12 on the T-Mobile network, only phones that are certified by T-Mobile will be able to access it (more info on compatible phones here). So even though a US996 has the hardware for connecting to Band 12, you wouldn't be able to use it since T-Mobile has blocked access to it and only allows it for the H918 model.

Based on all this, I would expect a VS995 to get LTE Bands 2, 4, and 5 on AT&T and T-Mobile. Of course, since you already have the phone, there's only one way to find out. Just make sure you carefully read the guides/procedures about using LGUP for cross-flashing, and absolutely stay away from any H918 firmware (it will instantly kill any V20 that is not an actual H918). Not sure if there even is a separate guide around here as it is usually mentioned in the initial steps of different rooting guides for each V20 model, but you can find the patched LGUP that ezzony mentioned in this thread (you may have to move the DLL file to a specific folder location for it to work properly).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DeyEatDaPooPoo:
Yes, but the Frequency Check website only looks at firmware differences, not the internal hardware. I decided to do some further digging and went to the source that tests these (the FCC) and found that the VS995 and US996 have the same ZNFVS995 FCC ID meaning they share the same internal hardware. Verizon just decided they wanted to be arseholes and cripple the phone's band support in their firmware so it wouldn't work to the best of its abilities on T-Mobile's and AT&T's network. Similarly, T-Mobile decided to also be arseholes by artificially limiting Band 12/VoLTE support to their own H918 model only. I hate that carriers are able to get away with this BS. It is incredibly anti-consumer and infuriating. If the hardware supports XYZ then it should be enabled and capable of taking advantage of it. The FCC tested Band 12/17 to work properly on these and says regarding the device's capabilities:

Seriously, f*ck both Verizon and T-Mobile. Thankfully I'm starting my Cricket/AT&T service in a week so I'll be able to test if it can pick up and use Band 12/17. You happen to know of any app or way to force/limit the device to only using one specific LTE band? Thank you so much for linking to that thread for flashing these using LGUP. I'll make sure to follow it and to download the US996 (US Unlocked, not US Cellular) firmware and post a small update on my findings. Thank you so much for all the info. Really appreciate it. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
While I've never tried this, have a look at this old thread on LTE band selection from a hidden menu. The dialer code differs by model, so for a VS995 it would be *#546368#*995# and for a US996 *#546368#*996#. The code works for my US996 and H918 on Oreo but not for my LS997 on Nougat (for which there is a separate APK file to access the hidden menu). There are lots of submenus and items in there, so be sure not to accidentally change settings that you're not supposed to.
