I have for US SM-R815U these files:

COMBINATION-FT40_R815USQU1ASE1.tar.md5
COMBINATION-FT40_R815USQU1ASK1.tar.md5

And few Stock Firmwares...

Meanwhile we know... sboot.bin from SM-R815W is not written... not accepted by Bootloader inside SM-R815U...

So sboot.bin inside device is ever:

SM-R815[B]U[/B]

From W I have only this Stock Firmware:

BL_R815WVLU1ASA5_usr.tar.md5
AP_R815WVLU1ASA5_usr.tar.md5
CP_R815WVLU1ASA5_CL1020541_QB11794236_SIGNED.tar.md5
[B]CSC_OYV_R815WOYV1ASA5_usr.tar.md5[/B]

I have NO R815USQU1BSA7...

[MENTION=615556]equlizer[/MENTION]

A

Please flash all 4 files from R815USQU1BSA7...

B

Second round:

CSC_OYV_R815[COLOR="Red"][B]W[/B][/COLOR]OYV1ASA5_usr.tar.md5

C

Check in Reboot menu if you can select recovery...

If not work...

No idea where...

Then we can """modify""" CSC file... by removing partition.pit... so only TAR with csc.img inside...

Best Regards

Edit 1.

Added CSC from SM-R815W without partition.pit... ASA5
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] equlizer:
I am away from home ATM but the last time i tried flashing the CSC W version, the watch went into odin mode and needed the JTAG to start over.

What does taking out the PIT from the CSC file do?

I was able to find SM-R815F multi CSC firmware, but what ive read is the F lte bands are not supported on this side of the globe. Only like china, korea, etc.

https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=35897

EDIT AGAIN: I think i may have found the problem (hopefully) All this time I was replacing the XAR (usa) with XAC (a few people told me this was canada) I believe the 2 pulled files need to be changed to OYV (all W firmwares show that) I will try this and report back (or if someone else wants to)

About CSC aka Sales Code

1.

Look at your Photos...

Under Software Version also Product Code visible...

No idea if also in Stock Firmware...

You see something like SM-R815UblablaXAR

XAR is CSC from USA

I have this feature never seen on my SM-R760... :(

2.

How FOTA work... your device look on this Server:

XAR is bad example ... because empty...

As tiny exercise you could change from XAR to something else... to fix this stupid no FOTA...

I have NO idea why XAR not get updates...

You have have exact 6 CSC / Sales Codes inside your OYN region package:

ATT for ATT USA
TMB for T-Mobile USA
SPR for Sprint USA
USC for no idea because I am from Germany
VZW is Verizon USA
XAR is USA... but seems funny placeholder

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] zero9292:
Hi, tell me if my idea is correct. After checking the firmware from sm-r8050, sm-r805f, sm-r805u and sm-r805w in the csc part, the pin in all the firmware is identical except for the signature at the end of the file, the signatures in all the firmware files for example always start in the same longwords linked to a specific model. I so understand from for this signature under firmware csc from another model not accepted. The idea is to unpack CSC. tar. md5 and add a folder with the region I need from another model to CSC. img native firmware by editing it SW_Configuration.xml. After that, flash the native COMBINATION-FT40 with a modified csc file and then fill in the native firmware forgetting about updates in the future but getting a working esim and samsung pay. The question is if I do all the above, will I get Knox 0x1? Sorry for my English.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMAAALLL BR:
Good night people

So, I was riding a motorcycle when I took a relatively heavy rain with the device in my pants pocket, when I got home I noticed no problem, everything was working normally, but after a few hours I went to use the camera on WhatsApp and realized that it it was not opening, when i went to the camera app i realized that the icon was gone (but it is still possible to access the app settings) and noticed that the cameras were foggy, as if there was water vapor inside, after a few days i can access front camera (as the first camera) and the secondary camera by whatsapp, but they are mirroring the image, if I put it in landscape mode the photo is upside down, and the flash is not accessible in the status bar because the system is considering the front as the main camera and it does not have a flash.

does anyone know how to solve?

and to complete the power button it stopped working, I am erasing the screen with two clicks and waking up the screen with the digit sensor, to restart the device I need to use the ADB via the usb cable.

since, thank you, i'm disappointed with this device.

Instructions For Installing Pie Roms​
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jrkruse:
Mod Zips

SM_N950U_Mods_Safestrap_PIE.zip This will add call recording and a few other features to your csc

View attachment 4990155

Install zip in safestrap

boot phone back up to system

you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking

too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work

too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot

what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage

If you want root you have to use the rooted nougat rom in the root thread. This rom is not rooted but still has safestrap so you can still flash mod zips and delete system apps.

Hi guys, I have a Xfinity/Comcast (CCT) S10+ and I flashed it with patched Odin 3.14.1 to Unknown (XAA) but it still asks me for SIM unlock code. Is flashing to unlocked firmware no longer works or did I flashed to the wrong one?

Both the original Xfinity firmware and the XAA firmware I flashed to are the latest one with February security patch if that makes a difference. Maybe earlier Android 9 firmware unlocks? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
You have to flash the stock unlocked firmware from the Sam firm site. You must use the patched version of Odin.

I also think (not sure) that your SIM tells the phone to unlock. So you're probably going to have to call Xfinity customer service and see if it can be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] hleo114312:
Hi, well you flashed a sistem on Odin but that's not the way to sim unlock a phone, most of them use a unlock code which you need to buy and others use an app to sim unlock.
