Guide to Extract Boot image file and flash via Odin Tool

First, download the preferred Samsung Stock ROM for your device model.

Extract the firmware zip file on your computer within a folder.

Now, the boot image file named as AP_xxx (similar kind of) file.

Recently, Samsung firmware files use a new compression type called .lz4 extension. You may see something like boot.img.lz4 file name.

Extract the boot.img.lz4 file via 7Zip to .tar extension and now you will see the boot.img.tar file. Download 7Zip - github (dot) com (slash) mcmilk (slash) 7-Zip-zstd (slash) releases

Now, open the Odin tool and connect your device to the PC via a USB cable.

Click on the ‘AP’ button and select the boot.img.tar file from your computer.

Click on the ‘Start’ button.

That’s it. Wait for flashing to complete and reboot your handset.

Hope this guide will be helpful to you. If you’re facing any issue, you can ask your queries in the comments below.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] tj103:
My phone started acting weird today. I think it may be because I left my phone close to the shower when I showered today, (water didnt get on the phone, but I did recieve a text and I typed on my keyboard with my wet hands..) It keeps clicking the start button by itself every 20 seconds or so, when I dont press it on the screen or keypad. What should I do? I've soft reset my phone about 4 times..and it hasnt stopped. Should I wait a day to see if it water got in the keyboard and it needs to dry?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] veloslave:
ALWAYS when ever you have an electronics meets water experience...

Immediately remove ALL power (AC & battery)

Wipe away any liquids and hold at an angle that will direct moisture away from the components.

Once the bulk of water is gone... yes typing with wet hands was a bad idea, put it in a very dry (as in not humid) and warm area... maybe a window sill or near a heat source... I hope I do not need to give any of the obvious disclaimers of what too much heat can do.

leave it like this for a day or more or less depending on how much heat is being used and how much moisture there was... over kill on drying it is not a bad idea as long as you do not over heat it. The type of moisture/liquid is pretty key... I have seen milk just flat out fry motherboards but water is not a big deal if dealt with properly/quickly.

Good luck

Hi, I have a oneplus 7t device, had it for about a month I would say, and I'm trying to receive the update by using the oxygen oneplus app it would tell me that my device is unsupported etc etc I'll post a screenshot below but does anyone have any answers they could help me resolve this issue? Edit ok nevermind file is too big.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] rob420p:
Being it's unsupported I would assume it's running tmo firmware flash all the Indian 1007 version then use oxygen to update to globel

Yea but I'm having issue trying to get the bin#. OnePlus and TMobile have me back and forth claiming who is the one responsible/ able to help me with the bin#.

It won't help him if he doesn't have the boot unlock code.oneplus claims litterly they have no control at all of this device.tmo holds all the cards.

Yup, when I click on that link it takes me straight to a referral page instead where it shows points and referral stuff etc etc, so it really seems like OnePlus can't help.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Grin59:
Let me see if I can help, I'm going through this right now. So I got my sim unlocked, and then, I enabled oem unlock and adb. Then, I rebooted with adb reboot bootloader, then, I did fastboot oem get_unlock_token

Then I put the two lines of the unlock code together and submitted it to OnePlus.com/unlock_token

Although when I went to the bootloader it wouldn't recognize my device but I installed a USB driver from the android sdk then it worked normally.

Then you just gotta wait 7 days for them to send you the bin, then you can unlock your bootloader
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] yellowman82:
Ok good this is what I did 2 days ago I wasn't sure if I put the correct code line but I put both lines together and submitted it, now I'm just playing the waiting game to see if I get the bin# thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BoxEstil:
Hi,

XDA Community

So my inquiry today, is that

i realised samsung has just roll out the Android 10 Update for S9 devices, on Feb 2

but my phone is not getting updated yet via OTA, like always

I had no problem getting Android 9 (Pie) when it released.

but now, i am so confused, why my phone is not getting the update.

Well, i looked into SAMMOBILE official page, and some carriers of my model [SM-G960U1]

have already the Android 10 Update,

so my question here is, wich one of those sammobile.com - samsung - galaxy-s9 -firmware - #SM-G960U1]

, is my correct update or firmware

i figure out is the Uknown (XAA) Version [sammobile.com - samsung- galaxy-s9 - firmware - SM-G960U1 - XAA - download - G960U1UEU7DTA5 - 314846], but i need to be sure

so here we are, i need some help to get the correct firmware for my S9.

The things is that the PDA and CSC are the same on each Carrier, and is difficult to identify

i never had that issue with previous phones like S6, S3 or S7.

also, i looked into IME PAGE INFO, and says that is : XAG Version -> IMEI.info: CSC XAG

so, that confuse me.

NOTE: AND not MY Phone is not Rooted, i keep it official since i bought it.

so for you, i have the ADB Lines: of my S9 Phone:

AND Thats all

very grateful that you can help me

I will appreciate it a lot ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
XAA is one of several multi CSC firmware sets. Just flash it in Odin, youll be fine. HOME_CSC to not have it factory reset and CSC to have it factory fresh.

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960U1/XAA/download/G960U1UES7DTB2/319745/

and samfirm or frija to download it at over twice the speed

very insightful.... posts like these are the glue that keeps this community together :: facepalm ::
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BoxEstil:
Thanks to all,

i just figure out, that my device support XAA and TFN Carriers, and i just get the Android 10 update, today.

for some one that this can help

to switch between XAA or TFN, just depend on what type of SIM you are using, both can work on this samsung s9 model, the phone will automatically reboot and swith the best for you (XAA or TFN)

Have a great day!

Everyone working with GPLed code, in our case the linux kernel which is under the GPLv2, needs to understand how the licence affects them, and the work they put out on XDA developers, to aid understanding a good write up of this issues has gone up on the portal, you can read it here;

XDA-Developers and the GPL

GPL compliance is taken very seriously on XDA, but at the same time I remind people to report anything via the proper channels rather than confronting anyone in public, which always does more harm than good.

A note to rom developers:

Using a non GPL compliant kernel makes your rom non compliant and subject to removal.

If you are using another developers kernel, linking to that kernels thread will make you GPL compliant (assuming that the kernel in question is compliant)

WhatsApp/Telegram Groups and Channels - Going Forward

​

Hello XDA family! Just notifying all members that posting certain links to Telegram and other sites like WhatsApp is now allowed on XDA.

What does that mean?

We will allow links to messages on Telegram and/or other platforms anywhere, as long as they provide content for a discussion, question, or is pertinent news. This is exactly like the guidelines for YouTube links.

What about download links?

Download links from hosts, platforms or other sources are allowed as long as they do not require registration. Some Telegram links require registration for downloads, so they will not be allowed. Please check them before posting.

What is NOT changing?

Only one link to a Telegram support group is allowed in the first post of a development thread on the condition that main support is still provided on XDA. This means you can mention Telegram group: https://t.me/abc in the first post as long as you're providing thorough support in your XDA thread.

What is NOT allowed?

Posts like For support, join my Telegram group: https://t.me/abc. This means you're not willing to provide support to users on XDA.

Drop-and-run posts/threads are still not allowed under the self-promotion rule. So posts/threads like "Come to my channel for xyz" or "Watch my video and like my channel" are still not allowed. Such links will be removed and the member will be contacted regarding XDA Forum Rule #5 for self-promotion (under bullet point #6):

We thank all members for their cooperation in this matter, and wish you a pleasant stay on XDA.

Your XDA Moderating Team
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Napilitan:
Hi all, my old phone's screen broke and excited with this phone (tencent version flashed to full ww, latest updates).

Wondering if we can make the fingerprint unlock faster?

If we disable animation does it make it go to the screen much faster?

Can we disable it? Been tinkering around settings and can't find an option to do so

Searching for similar topics show steps for a different phone(k20 pro) and was wondering if there's way to disable fingerprint unlock animation on rog 2s.

Just want a real fast unlock that's all. Thanks in advance!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] frozenfirevr:
The animation doesn't really affect the time to unlock. The sensor is just slow. If anything, the animation helps you if you're not touching the right spot.

And no, you can't disable it.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Napilitan:
Thanks, much appreciated.

Why would some phones claim that animation makes unlocking faster? To which extent I would like to agree only because it potentially makes it faster..

I would like to experiment to remove it; if only I knew how :laugh:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Santhonius:
Disabling the animation makes you as the user feel that the unlocking process feels snappier and hence 'quicker'. But in fact it doesn't affect anything.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Napilitan:
Well i sure would like to try. Android 10 unlock appears to be faster so that helps

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasper J:
I flash a lot of ROMs on my Oneplus 2 very successfully -- LOS, RR, Havoc OS on 2nd try, Liquid Remix, crDroid, etc.

But some ROMs -- like Dirty Unicorns and Omnirom -- flash without errors, but leave me with a whole new "unused phone" situation. There are 10 apps of my about 100 installed.

Google during the install never asks if I want to restore apps and data from a phone or the cloud. So the install is very fast, but nothing I expect to see on my phone is there. I have tried manually installing Google Drive to fix this and logging to get the backups it holds. But they're not there.

Of course, they are there, but after a fresh DU (or Omnirom) install, I can't see them. I go to another ROM to fix the problem.

What's going on here? Why do some custom ROMs leave me with so much data and apps missing?? Thanks.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] sunge:
Hey folks,

I did something and now nothing works anymore. Please help me.

Okay here a more detailled overview of what I did:

- unlocked bootloader successfully (incl. the update to ver 3.5.259ST as described in https://xdaforums.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/ota-collection-howto-zui-1-9-to-zui-z2-t3928693)

- flashed TWRP (latest) successfully (still working)

- copied some stuff (custom rom and gapps) into the root via usb

- wiped everything on my phone, since I didnt had access to /sdcard from TWRP filemanager

Well and there we go. I am able to:

- get into TWRP

but I am not able to:

- install anything because there is nothing on my phone (since I wiped everything)

- boot (bc Ill get stuck at the ZUK screen, since I wiped everything)

- import files to my zuk2 filesystem (I dont get any message on windows, that I connected something, if I'm not on a running ROM)

Sooo.. does anyone has any idea how I can solve this? I just need to get files on my ZUK so I tried to install drivers (unsuccessful) for USB connection. But maybe I got the wrong ones? (The ZUK driver I tried - no idea how to install the qualcomm one)

I hope you can help me with my broken phone. Thank you so much!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] ClaudioSandecki:
Come on.

Download the rom files, if you haven't changed vendos and factory, you can go with AEX with android 9, which I think is very good, otherwise it goes with android 8.

Download arm64, pico gapps, according to the android version to be installed.

I copied it to a pendrive, and with a usbc / usb cable, plug in the zuk z2 pro, access the bootloader, install option, select the OTG storage access, it will access the files on the pendrive.

Now you can flash the ROM and then the Gapps.

I recommend doing wipe cache, system before.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers] emilic:
Or qfil it and restart from a stock factory rom...

(then install twrp again and whichever rom u want.)
