New in box purchase. SM-N770F/DS with Build number N770FXXU2ATB6. Has an update pending N770FXXS5BTG9. If i update this method should still work right?

I am uaing it on Metro currently. Is there any difference in the software from different regions?(Something added or missing from one compared to others)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
I updated to the most current (at the time) build before attempting root. Once you root OTAs will no longer work and you'll have to update firmware via Odin.

I'll leave that one to the OP. I want to say there is little to no difference between regions, but I'd wait for him to clarify further.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
No difference. I have rooted Arab Emerites..Spain..Hongkong..Puerto Rico. I am currently using latest Spain and it rooted with no issues. Just remember, once you have upgraded your bootloader from revision 2 to revision 5 there is no flashing back to 2. I use mine on At&t

Hey guys, i just got my note 10 lite today, checking for the root I found out that it has a pending update. What should I do? Update then root with the lastest firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
I just saw that there's a new update for United Emirates on sammobile.com. Is there a way to get this without repeating the entire root process, i.e. wiping my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] Darkuso:
How do you know that yours it's from that region? I bought mine from amazon US but the box has Arabic letters, so I guess that should be from there too. Still almost all the roms on sammobiles are global.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
Go to settings, scroll down to the last option "About Phone" (or next to last if you've activated "Developer Options"), tap it. Look at the info: after the info for IMEI (slot 2) you'll see which region its from.

FYI: This is the firmware. As long as the baseband version matches you can use the firmeware for any region. I'm personally deciding to stay put with United Emirates, hence my original question.

Hey [MENTION=4496829]butchieboy[/MENTION] sorry to hijack your thread, just don't want to make a thread just yet until release. ? Here is the first beta release of TWIZtd Mods NX. Test it if you like. It is a magisk module, so just download, and flash through Magisk as you would any other magisk module. I expect that anyone flashing through Magisk is aware of how to remove a module that is not work for your device. I am not going to go through it. If you bootloop, it is on you to get it back to normal. With that said here is the link....

Does anyone having random reboot after rooting the phone? I have been having random reboot e.g. once in a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
The only time I did was when I had xposed installed. Other then that no reboots at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] bajra:
But mine still reboots randomly itself. I don't know if it has to do with some of the apps like xposed edge that require xposed framework.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] bajra:
Have you found the fix for the random restart problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
I have been using device for a day now. I rooted one ui 2.5 I have had no reboots. It was the same on 2.1. So it must be something you have installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
I would start with removing the apps that you believe could be causing the reboots. Or do the root method over without installing any previous apps that you use. Set device up and use it for a few hours and see what happens.

There's a September 13th firmware update on sammobile. Is this Android 11 by any chance???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
I seriously doubt it. It will say what version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
What you are seeing on Sammobile are different regions that are getting updated. Most are 5CTH4. Spain (PHE) was the 1st to get this update several weeks ago. And Sammobile shows what version of Android it will be. I don't believe any 10lite is Android 11. My 10lite is on latest firmware which is Android 10, I patched the boot img and rooted so at least we know the latest version can still be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
Got it. Guess I'm just itching to get that Android 11.

Hi, how do you do to unlock Samsung themes and make the 2 sims and micro sd work in a ROM, there is a link in xda where I can learn how to unlock Samsung apps and add features to a ROM

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] dasepsilon:
i followed the tutorial on a spanish N770F, csc code PHY,

but in the last step, when flashing the patched kernel i get in odin

an error, while the fastboot screen tells me

"Only offical released binaries are allowed to be flashed(BOOT)"

did i miss anything? i updated to phone the latest android version

and downloaded the latest version with frija

AP_N770FXXU6CTJ2_CL19538864_QB34914883_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS10

kernel version in "software info" is 4.9.191-19538864, so it should fit?

build number is QPA.190711.020.N770FXXU6CTJ2

EDIT:

to fix this problem, the solution is to activate WIFI after unlocking the bootloader,

so it is necessary to check that the developer options displays the option "OEM Unlock"

and it is greyed out. only then it allows for flashing the patched boot.img.

Sometimes once you update firmware with Odin the oem unlock is not present. Just set date 7 days ahead, check for update in settings then reboot Oem will be present

works perfectly. (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
Can't seem to enter recovery no matter what I do. For a milisecond it flashes the blue screen with the Android mascot then it to a black screen with the options "Reboot system now" "Reboot to bootloader" etc with at the bottom of the screen:

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [BL: Recovery Mode Set by key]#

Supported API: 3

#MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#

I've tried cutting on debugging, I've tried remapping Bixby (I have it shut off by default), what gives? This is my first time trying to update via Odin since I've used the rooting process in the OP (December update popped up on Sammmobile yesterday), so is my recovery now gone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
I rooted my lite about 4 weeks ago. When restarting i get the message about "bootloader unlocked, press power key to go on". But in developer options i suddenly found the oem unlock is not grey. It stands on enabled, but i could switch to unable (didn't do that, won't brick my phone).

Can i now update with patched AP or have i go the complete way again with wiping all data?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] XDAMaxe:
I guess unlocking the bootloader will disable automated on-air-updates (always telling you the device is on the latest software version which is evidently wrong) .

So if you want to update you will have to do this with odin.

But keep an eye NOT to flash CSC***.md5 file but ONLY HOME_CSC***.md5 which preserves your apps and data.

So no problem at all, you will only have to check for newer software at the known Firmware-Sites (sammobile etc.), download and flash all files (AP, BL, CP) with Odin (without factory reset) using only HOME_CSC***.md5.

But: if you want to root your device you will have to patch boot.img with Magisk.app and that will lead to a mandatory factory reset with wiping former installed apps and data (because otherwise you will get a neverending bootlop at startup - that's what I've faced).

Damned thing about Note 10 lite is that there is no twrp-recovery available so that you can make a nandroid backup and additionally to make it worse: obviously there is no dev around who is interested in development of Note 10 lite (SM-N770F). Sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
We just talking around my recovery issue then?

The phone shows up if I just plug it into Odin as is, but I'm fairly certain I shouldn't try and flash the update like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
I don't believe unlocking bootloader affects ota updates. My 20 ultra has unlocked bootloader and it just got ota to Android 11 on At&t.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
His question was " Can i now update

with patched AP

or have i go the complete way again with wiping all data?"

The answer is actually no.

He'll have to use Odin, but if he can't get into recovery like I can't guess he's out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
Hi, thanks for your input. I know how to root/update. But i'm wondering about the switch "bootloader unlock enable/disable". It was grayed out as described here when i rooted my device. Thats not the problem. But suddenly the switch in the developers sections isn't grayed anymore, but switchable again. My device is rooted, but my fear is, that i can't flash a new update with patched boot.img in this state.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
Sure i have to use odin. But what do you mean with recovery? Odin needs downloadmode for flashing. So if you don't have problems loosing data, flash complete Stockrom. And then go as if rooting 1st time. I think that would work.

My problem is only, that i won't loose data on next update and install whole bunch again. So i ask for experiences with suddenly switchable "oem unlock".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
My issue is I wanted to update without wiping but now I see that's impossible. I was trying to enter recovery (for some reason it seems to be used interchangeably with Download Mode) like I did when I first got the phone. Apologies for not being clear. But from the looks of it, yes, you'll have to wipe it as in put it back in stock in stock state in order to get any updates, then root all over again.

I'm not sure why your "OEM Unlocked" is suddenly switchable, but in theory a current update would fix that. But the issue we both face is we don't want to wipe our data to do anything, and unless I/we are messing something, that's unavoidable. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
Yeah needs to flash back to stock to get ota
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
strange thinks happen. Just was in recovery-mode, from there booted to bootloader (only to verify all is ok there), then rebooted and now "oem-unlock" is grayed again.

@ Rodymus: If i understand the description from the magisk-developer right, it is possible to update with odin without loosing data. It seems your recovery is somewhat defect, but for Flashing you only need download-mode and open bootloader.

I will try it this way (but first when android 11 comes out): Download new Samsung Stock. Make Bakeup. Patch AP on my (hopefully working) lite. Then flash the patched AP, BL, CP and Home_csc. And then hold breathing :-)

And there is a warning in the description: Never try to go back to stock flashing only stock-Bootimage. Flash complete StockRom. I think, there will be some more things be patched when installating MagiskManager, not only the boot.img.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
Another strange thing: I just noticed, that suddenly in Magiskmanager the HideFunction was disabled. I enabled it again, also the systemless host, and rebooted. Now my "OEM-Unlock" is switchable again!

i'm using Magisk 21.1, and Safetynet-Check gives "no sucess". How about you?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
The point though is that my recovery/download mode is gone. I only have the options I mentioned (reboot, shut down, wipe), but you'll get a blink and you'll miss it flash of the blue screen with the android mascot falling down.

I downloaded the current update through desktop, transferred the AP file from the zip to my phone, used magisk to patch it, put it back on desktop. I was ready to go till I tried to enter recovery/download mode.

I think the idea is if you wipe the phone it'll also wipe out root, and root is what is preventing recovery/download mode, not an unlocked boatloader. There are threads around here that explain why this is, and why TWRP is impossible. So I kinda get why folks are abandoing this phone (If I had a spare grand I'd get a Note 10+/Note 20 Ultra, too).

So, yeah, harvey, I'll do the same and in fact that was my original plan. Wait till 11 comes out, wipe phone, etc. Its just...11 isn't coming out till

March

for the Note 10 Lite according to Samsung's own website. And I wanted something other than the July 2020 update on my phone. :/ Ah well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
You cant boot into bootloader mode? Screen should show something with fastboot on top. In this mode odin should work. Or try with adb: adb reboot bootloader

Or try to go to full download mode with: Shut down phone, connect usb-cable to pc (not to phone), hold volume

down/up both and put usb-cable into phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
I did the second one, now I'm stuck in Odin Mode. Hm. I backed up everything but even if I wanted to do a full flash, can't get out of it. Currently googling a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
Press Vol down and Power together for about 10 seconds

to reboot. Or flash full with odin, then your recovery should work again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
I did, it shuts off then comes right back to the Odin Mode screen.

No longer shows up in Odin either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
Well, answering my own problem here, but, I found the solution on the S10+ forum. Basically when you're stuck there, press the Volume Down + Power button, yes, but as soon,

AS SOON

, as the screen goes off, press volume up and down at the same time AND insert the USB plug. Gotta be quick.

Attempting to root again. I'll post back with an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] XDAMaxe:
that's no matter of recovery (you will still get into stock recovery with the known buttons pressed simultaneousely after leaving download state) but factory reset is - that's what I've experienced - mandatory after flashing magisk-patched AP***.md5 in order to have a rooted device.

Imho this is because Samsung does not want to give you ota-updates if you modified your phone.

Other manufacturers like Oneplus or Xiaomi will allow that even with unlocked BL and rooted phones (and i.e. custom recovery like twrp).

All in all I guess that we will face lots of disadvantages initiated by the manufacturers/google in the future if you will root your phone because they hate individual modifications especially concerning their holy system settings. They talk bs if they tell you it's because of safety reasons. The truth is they want to take control of your device disregarding that this is my decision how to use and how I work with it.

Anyway I hope there's always a dev who provides a workaround...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
Slight problem though. The problems we're having seem exclusive to the Note 10 Lite, or rather lack of solutions seem exclusive to us. Dr. Keten is working wonders with the Note 10 Plus and Note 20, meanwhile we can't even get TWRP.

A bigger screen and more internal memory is the best I can say about this phone at this point. Otherwise, unless you don't root phones anyway, I'd now start warning people to STAY AWAY. I'm now of the mind this was some sort of weird experiment by Samsung that ultimately failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
There is a Magisk mod that I was testing for a developer. It's flashed with Magisk. It gives you a few options that we just don't have on the 10lite. He was the only one that I know of that was working on anything. He was working on Twrp but gave up. I will reach out to him and see if it's OK to post if I can find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] butchieboy:
A few of the things you can change with the mod
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] harvey:
I don't think that a factory reset is mandatory. The following is from topjohnwus (devel of magisk) github page, out of the instructions for installing magisk on samsung:

--------------------------------------------

Never, ever try to restore either boot or recovery partitions back to stock! You can easily brick your device by doing so, and the only way out is to do a full Odin restore with data wipe.

To upgrade your device with a new firmware, NEVER directly use the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always pre-patch AP in Magisk Manager before flashing in Odin.

Use HOME_CSC to preserve your data when doing a firmware upgrade. Using CSC is only necessary for the initial installation.

Never just flash only AP, or else Odin can shrink your /data filesystem. Flash full AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.

------------------------

In point 3 he says, csc only necessary for initial install. with home_csc our data will be preserved. So if a factory reboot would be mandatory, it would be senseless to use home_csc.

Anyway, my system is on november patch and now i get working all fine. My galaxy watch had paired and with the props-modul for magisk ctsprofile-test says "OK" again.

So i will first try an update after A11 is rolled out for some months.

In my mind most changes from Android5 to 11 are changes, that restricts me in using my phone as i want (as you also said), beginning with the problems writing to sdcard from any program (think it was in A4 or A5 ).

The most other changes in design could also achieved with tools from other developers or custom roms. Gestion navigation i never used, i prefer spen and keyboard. OK, Cameras are better as eg Note1 or Note3, but the camera on my note4 was good enough for me.

Only the fingerprint is a useable hardware extension for me, ist simplier to use banking apps with it then allways give passwords from 8 to 10 signs.

Hayyp xmas to all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] RodimusConvoy:
Sorry, harvey, it is mandatory. Remember when I said I was stuck in Odin mode? Once you showed me how to get into download mode, I then tried to flash through Odin exactly as that list described (remember I had already patched the AP file). I did everything that list said, reboot, stuck in Odin mode with the error AVB Fail.

With this device, like it or not, you have to restore to stock to get updates then repeat the root process. As in, get the current firmware like I did, flash that and it'll be the stock of that update, then root again. Which is what I had to do, and which also means a factory reset at some point.

This is why I'm warning people away from this device. No one wants to factory reset every time they want a current update. If other Samsung flagships have this problem other people have already solved it or figured out loopholes so its no longer an issue.

If you want to try it for yourself but only when 11 comes to our device, go for it, but again, you'll have to wait till March.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] XDAMaxe:
@RodimusConvoy @harvey

Thanks guys for your efforts. I really want to believe that it should be possible to update a magisk-patched rooted device with an identically magisk-patched updated AP-file but - as said - I failed, so for me it was mandatory to perrfom a factory reset (in stock recovery) with data wipe to get it to boot into updated system.

(After creating magisk-patched AP I flashed stock AP, BL, CP and Home_CSC and AFTER that I flashed the magisk-patched AP in a seperate odin session - which now sounds for me a bit weird)

Weird because I didn't try yet (as written above) the recommended simultaneously flash of all files, magisk-patched AP, BL, CP Home_CSC in only one odin session which I will try as soon as the next update will be available.

Did anyone tried exactly that procedure in that order ?
