No. Only turn on.

Just wanted to clarify something. If I change CSC, does Samsung Pay not work anymore? I was able to get samsung pay to work like it's supposed to when I changed CSC from Indonesia to the UK about 4 years ago with my Galaxy s7 Edge? Has samsung implemented extra security since then?

It's the main reason I want to switch my CSC now, as Samsung pay doesn't work in Indonesia. Really lame that they don't enable that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] amakuramio:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
Yes you can. But you'll need to factory reset your phone after changing.

Do you have a link to a guide on how to do that? I am currently using an Indonesian CSC which is not multi region. Can I change it to OXM or BTU? Also would I have to flash the firmware before or after changing the CSC?

Thanks man, and do I flash the new firmware before or after changing the CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
Indonesian csc is under the almighty oxm csc, and it's a multi csc for almost all exynos variant csc in it.

They're is no need to reflash firmware. Once you change csc code, you'll be required to reboot (you'll be forced to reboot) and once you restated your phone, it's already factory reset.

hi all,

It past 3yrs since my last root of a phone and i am guessing that pleanty have changed.

i would kindly want to ask you what are the main benefits of rooting a phone and especially a S20 lineup phone.

what brings more to the S20 lineup after root? what value brings to the phone if you are rooting it?

thank you in advance all for polite response and detailed.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
If you have no issues with your phone, don't root it.

My last rooted phone was years ago, the note 2. After that I didn't need to root my phone until a samsung update on my note 8 that disabled my ability to use dual sim and sd card on the phone, had to root and disable that.

If you have no reason to root the phone, don't.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] eyeatoma:
No it's not man. Indonesia's CSC is XID. Not under the OXM Mult-CSC. Because of that I can't just change the CSC through the phone dialer like many other people do.

Anyways, with that new information, once I change the CSC, then I flash the firmware too right? I think I'm going to use the BTU one from England or the one from Germany.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
Oh my you are right. It's not in omc. Odd..

You can try to flash in the csc of your choice from odin. Just the csc file.

Hello Everyone,

I really need help I was wondering if someone could help me. I just got my a Samsung S20+ (Unlocked).

i'm having an issue when doing step 9. I get a failure when flashing the "magisk_patched.tar" file.

I'm using Odin 3.13. My phone model number is SM-G986U1. I downloaded the firmware here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/ga...SM-G986U1/XAA/ .

If someone could help me out, it would be great. I haven't had a phone for a little while now.

Thank You so much

There is a thread similar to this by jesec in the S20 forum (sorry can't point you to it, not sure exactly where it is, though search for threads by jesec). Anyway, the instructions are very similar but there are some comments there that you need to unpack the boot.img on your phone (not on your PC), to avoid an error with the patched file. It is a little bit more work, but I did it this way with MiXplorer and it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Enddo:
this video shows you how to update a rooted Samsung phone with a new update manually with Odin (while keeping your data)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_2E-mfGX6Q

I don't see why the process would be any different. just grab the firmware for your version of the S20 and patch it with Magisk Manager before flashing with Odin
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] RXBeat:
Is the rooting method on the first page still up-to-date and reliable or is there a better one now?

And other question. Is there no one who can program something like this?

As soon as an update is released the AP is automatically patched via magisk and put online?

My programming skills have been stuck at Basics Press Play On Tape ?

…

what is magisk manager canary? I know what is magisk Manager but what is canary and where to find?

There is an alternative thread by jesec here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=82716935#post82716935, check out the OP

Scanning quickly through the differences, could be 2 things you may need to review:

you need to use a vbmeta_disabled file, that should stop data getting wiped during upgrades

possibly your boot image was not extracted correctly from the original tar file. Some users say that happens when using the PC to extract it. Try extracting it on your phone - a bad boot image will cause the bootloops you're referring to
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] know.i.dee:
cheers , I gave in & finally unlocked the bootloader. I'm not sure if my device is rooted!

I can access root with MixPlorer , so I assume I'm rooted but titanium backup has no access & I receive no prompt!?

any ideas
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] know.i.dee:
I'm using sm-986B/ds EE (UK) S20+ 5G

extraction of the boot file only worked using mixplorer (windows extracted a 19mb file vs. 60mb mixplorer extraction)

After rearchiving using mixplorer & patching as per canary magisk instruction I had to go to download / magiskpatched.tar & use that file.

This is as per Jesec guideline (obviously not relevant for certain variants) this worked for me.

Finally adfree & debloated

Netflix not working...

Hi,

I have rooted phones since 2009 on HTC.

Had Galaxy S2, S3, S4, S6 and S8.

S8 was the best phone ever and just because battery got old and screen broken, I gave a try on this terrible S20.

Samsung is going crazy with this **** of security, Knox, bla, bla, etc...

I will never buy a Samsung phone again

I just spent 30 hours by rooting this terrible S20, and installing everything again just to discover that Netflix don't run after unlocking bootloader.

Tried everything on net.... I have root working, magisk hide working, safetynet pass, did everything correct, I can find Netflix app on play store by passing the message "This app isn't available for you device anymore".

Netflix open, works flawless, but when I click "watch" on anything there it got stuck with "loading" message on screen.

I tried every solution avaliable on net and nothing works.

Just locking bootloader makes Netflix working again.

The unbelievable part is that my Google pay works like a charm, but Netflix app is making my hair fall.

Someone has any idea about what is going on?

I Have Sm-G980F

I can pay someone to help me by what's app if needed.

Tnx a lot for any help.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I love how people always say (is it a driver issue) lol.

Plus in usb cable to a usb2 port preferably on back of computer or if you only have usb 3 try using a usb hub, then go to control panel, system , device manager and look for port 9800 under com. is it there?

If so try using the flashall.bat method of restoring the phone with a stock fastboot rom.

Technically speaking, the first package was the Update and the second is a Security update.

I'm a little rusty on my Samsung naming convention, but I just went through my old files from my Note 8 days and it was consistent.

U for version update, S for security update.

Also the 4th letter from the end is another indicator of the version. A = OS at release, B = 1st version upgrade, C = second and so on.

So I have a feeling this new file is still Android 9, and is just a security update.

A505FDDU4BTC4 indicates Android 10 version upgrade.

A505FDDS4ATB6 indicates Security update for release OS version.
