[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cjegan2008:
So hypothetically speaking, if I have a U device in the US, let's say AT&T, and change to U1, will changing my CSC allow me to get U1 updates instead of AT&It's bloatware since it's changing it from a branded carrier in the US to a unbranded one ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cheetah2k:
No. If you have a TGY phone, your options are BRI (taiwan) or CHC (China)

Good day, someone can help please? i have the SM-G988B August patch : G988BOXM4BTH5. i saw in SAMFREW and SAMMOBILE that the september patch is rolling out and already there for the United Kingdom (EE) and Austria (T-Mobile) : G988BOXM4BTI6. my question is, is it safe to download and patch it via ODIN ?

thanks for help and answering

im back to edit and say that they remove the update, don t know the why.

G9860 BRI to TGY

Hi, I've got the G9860 S20+, currently on a BRI (Taiwan) CSC. I understand I'm limited to this or TGY (Hong Kong) CSC, but I'd like to try TGY as BRI doesn't seem to allow Wifi Calling, which would be useful to me, plus potentially more 5G bands (not 100% sure on that bit).

I'm a bit confused as the most recent updates on Sammobile seem to have identical PDA and CSC values. I tried flashing the Hong Kong one using Odin but since I was already on the most recent BRI update this hasn't made any difference. I've also tried the IMEI code way and that doesn't work. I'm wondering if there's a way to get to BRI - would going to an CHC (Open China) version and then back be a way to do it, or is there some reason why that would be a bad idea?

These are the identical versions from Sammobile: sammobile. com/samsung/galaxy-s20-plus/firmware/#SM-G9860 - there don't seem to be any Hong Kong specific firmware at all, they're all shared with Taiwan:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] wombler88:
You can try for free with Odin (version 3.14.4) and download the firmware you want from Sammobile, but the only way to do it might be to go to CHC and then back to Hong Kong or Taiwan, and I don't know if there's a reason NOT to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] dublinz:
You can flash just CSC part via Odin, it should not be a problem to change it more than once e.g. HK to Taiwan to Open China ... I went from HK to Tw, and back NO ISSUES ....

You can switch CSC for free, install Google Dialer from the play store and enter this code using Google dialer

It worked for me to change carriers csc it even shows it in settings under service provider software information. I changed from Optus to Telstra (Australian carriers) it does factory reset your device but it works on my G988B

I was stuck on this problem for a little while. Well, Carrier issues, this didn't solve them, but that's not relevant.

This tool will allow you to select any CSC that is available on your phone (Most CSCs are part of a Multi-CSC pack).

It can also tell you which CSCs are available on your phone if you aren't sure. If it is not, then this won't help, and you will have to flash the appropriate firmware, assuming that its compatible (Exynos/Snapdragon).

No Root or reset required, It will just flag for CSC preconfig, select the CSC, and reboot to apply.

SamFW FRP tool

Hope it helps

I'd like to create a "T-Mo MyFavs-esque" panel on the home screen. I've already used CHome to create an app launcher but if I try to set the template to contact dialer it lets me get as far as selecting the number and then crashes with an error.

Any tips?
[HTC Excalibur] caesar gdi:
I had the same problem it crashes if the contact has a nickname, I just removed the nickname so I can use the template.
[HTC Excalibur] lolcats:
that's strange...I've not set any nicknames...just the first name, number(s), email, ring tone, and pic

What did you do (step by step) to create it?

EDIT: Well that's odd. I can do it for one contact but not another. I will test others and look over the contacts record to see what the issue is.

EDIT2: Yes! There was a nickname in there! I just forgot I guess. It works now! Too bad there isn't a way to change the order of the pages (make page 5 page 1, etc.).

THANK YOU for the tip Caesar GDI. All the mods offered earlier was fail. Epic, Fail. You, sir, however, WIN.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Hi guys!

Recently, one of the users of my app reported an issue with his Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31C432B418. It's impossible to him to use my app, network calls are blocked in the app, the app won't connect to my backend endpoints for no reason. Logging is quite unclear, so it's hard to reproduce this issue.

Because of my dedication and urge to fix this issue, I ordered an Huawei P9 Lite on Amazon. (amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B01DYN5OLE) It got delivered today, installed my app and woosh... Everything was working fine. The phone came with VNS-L31C432B160/EMUI 4.1.3; but the user of my app is using P9 Lite VNS-L31C432B418/EMUI 5.0.4. Hitting the "check for updates" did not result in receiving any update (Thanks Huawei!) so I started looking around the internet. I prefer to use exactly the same build version because I want to reproduce this (hard) issue.

So far so good, I used Firmware Finder to incrementally update to VNS-L31C432B226. I'm quite new in these firmware-hacks and tried installing the VNS-L31C432B418 version, but I got stuck at the 5% progress indicator. Using Firmware Finder on my PC, it checked that I'm able to install versions with G 2190 and g 1789. These params do not tell that much for me... Currently, I'm stuck at VNS-L31C432B226 as this is the last one that has G 2190 and g 1789. All the other ones have G 190 and g 1755, are these for other devices as the one I have since I am not able to install these ones?

Someone who can help me in order to get VNS-L31C432B418? Is this even possible on my device?

Thanks in advance, kind regards

Joren
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Hi Joren,

sorry if i ask but the weird (B226) update you done is android 6 or 7 ?

Starting from B160, you should have chosen B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV

to upgrade to android 7, then to latest B418...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Hi, thanks for your reply! My device gotdelivered with version B172...

Today, I got an update to VNS-L31C432B228! This version is not visible in Firmware Finder... Any ideas how to update to Nougat?

Is it possible to force the update? I always get the message that the update is not compatible with my version.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Dude,

how did you got that update and is this B228 android 6 or 7 ?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
B228 update got over the air after having B226 from Firmware Finder , and it's still Android 6...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Ok,

use the app, same method and choose B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV.

It's 1.99 gbyte - date 21/03/2017 - G 753 - g 104.

Into my PC version of FF i see (2) two versions, looks the same, try one or the other..

If you will succeed you can update to the latest firmware (B418)..
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Thanks for your effort!

It seems to be the same URL for those two entries. Note that it's in fact a "downgrade", the "v" value is 80460. My device got delivered with B172 (which is also not found in FF), B173 is already 110304... Currently, B228 is also not visible in the list, B227 is 143951.

http://update.dbankcdn.com/TDS/data...-L31_hw_eu/update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip

Unzipped "update.zip", copied it into dload folder on my SD card, *#*#2846579#*#* =, ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade ->OK

"Software install failed" "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package". Same story for the contents of the update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip.

I'd like to wipe the current firmware instead op updating/upgrading it, but I've already done lots of research, some docs are so outdated that they're not relevant anymore. Any clear steps on how to force install the version instead op upgrading it?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Dude, i'm here to help, at least for what i know...

I think i explained not so good... :D

You should use the app to upgrade not to download the firmware.

Take a look HERE, also some videos are on YT..

Just change the firmware with yours... :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Tried in the app, it told me that B370 "The firmware is not approved for installation". B418 is approved (FullOTA-MF), so:

- I've downloaded the firmware (3 files)

- Setup in-app proxy

- Change wifi proxy to localhost:8080

- Check for updates, update is available

- Switch back to wifi, disable proxy

- Download update

- Install

Same story, update is incompatible... So I think I'm still doing something wrong while changing the firmware instead of upgrading. For me, the tutorials are skipping essential steps. Or I might have received a f*cked up device. Why on earth is it so hard to update, thanks Huawei.. :D
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Are you choosing B370 fullota-mf-pv one ? (not B370 fullota-mf nor B370 ota)

Also now i see there a third B370 fullota-mf-pv with date 2017.08.03 - G 1258 - g 104..

If you don't upgrade to this version first,

you couldn't upgrade anyway to android 7

and then to latest version.

Come on try again... ;)
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Yup, but that one: "Most likely, the firmware was removed from the server".

The other ones with B370 are both telling "The firmware is not approved for installation".

I'm testing all the FullOTA-MF-PV's, they are all telling "The firmware is not approved for installation". Some of the "FullOTA-MF" do show the message that they are available. What's the difference between the "-PV"?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
That version is used to upgrade to android 7 from 6.

Maybe the version you updated before (B226/B228) don't allow you to upgrade.

Downgrade to B160 and redo your steps..

How to do this ?

Download THIS FILE, extract update.app, create a folder and name it DLOAD.

Put update.app into that folder and put the folder into your SD card.

Turn off the device then reboot holding vol+ & vol- & power buttons together

until flashing starts then release them...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Done, thanks for those clear instructions, I do have B160 for now. The B370 is still resulting in "The firmware is not approved for installation"... :/
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
That's really weird dude..

Is your device dual sim one ?

What happen if you choose B371 (fullota-mf-pv) instead of B370 ?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
Yup, the device is the dual sim one, B371 also "The firmware is not approved for installation". It's really weird...

I'll try updating manually incrementally, so update by update the ones with G 1258 - g 104?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Back to B370,

skip the verify access firmware, go directly to 'get an update via dns',

tap ok, select 'auto' dns method and tap change dns.

VPN service should start...

Open settings > internal updater

and see if download come for you... check several times ...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
I don't know what's wrong with this device.

I've downgraded my device to B160 (66015), tried upgrading to B370 80460, 80466, 80582, all with the same result: Incompatibility with current version. The only version I'm able to upgrade to is 80562, which is B210. From that point, Firmware Finder suggests that it should be possible to update to the B370 builds, but every time, "Incompatibility with current version".

The only B370 that I was not able to try is the one you're suggesting in your comment. That one gives a 404 so I'm not able to download that one (92405). Any other suggestions...?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Sorry dude have you tried skipping the firmware access ?

Could we have missed something in the procedure ?

If this doesn't work, try opening the FF app and from the main menu select 'instructions'.

Video and text guides will open. You can try the update with HiSuite

or with eRecovery or as a last resort you could try the one with a TWRP,

but for this you will have to unlock the bootloader and

it would cost you some time and an additional 4 € ...

Please Note: I have never upgraded from A6 to A7 with this device via twrp,

you do this at your own risk ...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] timea:
With B160, install firmware finder on your phone.

Add model as VNS-L31C432

Settings > Show firmware for this region only and Show full OTAs only.

Check firmware approval one or two times. (Make sure you've provided phone permission for firmware finder)

Get an update via DNS and it'll turn on vpn.

Check for updates and download.

I can help you on teamviewer if you still can't make it work. :)
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] JorenVos:
I think that the firmware I need is the one that returns a 404 when trying to download. I've already done successful firmware approval several times for builds that won't install after all. Only the fact that it's such a mess to get updates for this device makes me really frustrated. What if I was a "dummy" owner of this device? I should never be able to get the updates I'm looking for. It's just impossible without doing too much effort or rooting the device. For me it's really important to have the original firmware of Huawei and not a custom rom, because I have to investigate the issue of my app user, which is device-specific. How complicated can it be to provide a solid update platform. Huawei, please.

I've decided to ship this piece of sh*t back to Amazon. Ordered a second hand Huawei P9 Lite that has already the build VNS-L31C432B418. Thank you guys for all the effort in trying to help me getting Nougat on this device, unfortunately it seems to be impossible.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dadditz:
Yep, you've made the right choice in returning and

having your device replaced with another equipped with the latest firmware.

Thanks anyway for your feedback, much appreciated. :good:

Greetings and good luck for your app and your life... ;)
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Crippius:
I am in exactly the same situation.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
IMO the best solution is upgrade via TWRP (you have to unlock bootloader for 4 euros using a service run by hcu-client or dc-unlocker).

For build number VNS-L31C432 only!

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82948045&postcount=4

Or, you can try upgrade using dload method and Service ROM , e.g. this:

https://androidhost.ru/41d

The guide can be found in folder ReleaseDoc. Process will erase all your data!!! ( and lock bootloader).

I have been noticing these reports from people saying that their rear camera glass has been breaking on their own without the phone falling down the ground and having them in really good cases.

Imagine checking your phone out and seeing the camera glass cracked...

Anyone experienced this?

I am waiting on a dbrand skin!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xTheDevilx:
They're nice skins was thinking about getting one but I'm getting a case with a sliding cover so when i don't use the camera it will be protected just by sliding the camera lens cover on the phone case.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] RandomJazz:
I saw those, really interesting but those dbrand teardown skins look so good. Wanted to give them a shot, so I got those plus a few clear cases to try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xTheDevilx:
Let us know how good they are after hearing about the camera being shattered on there own i didn't want to take that chance at the moment I'm using a Spigen Hybrid Neo Case that i won. But will be replacing it with that case I'm getting for that camera protection but still waiting for it to get delivered.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cheetah2k:
If you drop your phone, its going to be 50/50 whether you break anything. Just don't drop your phone.

I would recommend a glass protector as the addition of a skin can reduce the brittle effect and absorb a lot of the forces

There are a lot of people also saying the glass broke without them doing anything. TBH I find this VERY hard to believe...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xTheDevilx:
Same here I don't believe it looks like it was intentionally broken the hole where the cracks are look too precise.

I've applied a Spigen GlasR protector on mine. Works perfect, and doesn't introduce an awful haze to photos when using the flash either. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0844KGLZJ/

I've tried one other that advertised itself as being edge to edge but wasn't, and produced horrendous photo quality compared to the Spigen
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Deleted member 7436581:
Seems like a skin over the lens is a real sensible option. You don't have to worry about a glass cover that may affect camera lens clarity and you still get some protection to the overall camera system.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xTheDevilx:
That looks like a really good lens protector how's the quality of the images when you use that zoom feature? i read on that review that it had issues with it on.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Paul_Deemer:
I just read an article on Techspot this morning for the days news. Some are theorizing there is some sort of gas inside the glass and it explodes outwards. If that is the case then no glass protector is gonna help with that problem. The BS part is Samsung saying its cosmetic damage and not covered under the origianl warranty. So that will cost you $400.00 dollars to repair. Or if you have Premium care it will cost $100.00 for the deductable. If it turns out this is a defect they should be fixing it free. I guess time will tell. As of now only a couple dozen have reported it.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xTheDevilx:
The real question is though why would they put gas between the glass? I think it's time manufactures stopped using Gorilla Glass and use Tempered Glass instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] DoKaTSuYa:
No problem with dust in the holes?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jonboi:
No issues with the zoom. I fkd up the install of the first one, went on incorrectly and didn't line up. The second attempt was perfect and holes where they should be. No issues with image quality or pics with flash.

The only hole in the protector is for the mic, and so far has been no issue with dust accumulation, still clean as a whistle.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] xTheDevilx:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Deleted member 7436581:
This is why I rather use a skin or just be careful about how I use the phone/lie it down on surfaces. Because of the glare and other lens issues while trying to snap images. Rather not get anything in the way of the camera lenses.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] RandomJazz:
I got a glass protector but it was really bad. So the skin should be a better solution.

Well, no idea how it can happen without dropping the phone.
