[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Wrightperspective:
If I want to make my carrier unlocked Verizon tab S5E like the one you get unlocked from Samsung so I can take calls and text from it, would I just locate the software for the unlocked one on frija and then use a patched Odin to flash it? I'm not interested in rooting.

You should be able to install the unlocked US version of the stock OS onto your device without any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] tripLr:
worked for me. download odin, the stock firmware, , unzip, boot to bootloader, add all sections to odin, flash..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] tripLr:
ok, bought a verizon version sm-t727v ,

tried the oem sm-t727u version from https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T727U ( warning, this is a web front end to frija , and to download via web, requires ad-blocker and popups disabled. temp disable your add block to download , ignore adds, then wait for download )

and flashed it. all it does is remove verizon boot screen, and verizon software. it does not have an unlock ability of the bootloader

unlockable bootloader is the us-cellular version.

https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T727R4/USC/T727R4TYU6DWH2 ( again same warnings) I used this site to see all the versions, and crc codes.

If you can get frija to work follow this forum link and then you can unlock bootloader to install roms

Samsung galaxy tab s5e lte - flash different firmware

Hey i have samsung galaxy tab s5e lte (sm-t727v) it is unlocked verizon tab i want to flash samsung stock firmware to remove varizon boatload & pre-installed apps & also some features like call & message continuity are blocked by verizon. So can...

xdaforums.com

the only difference between this xda post, and the Lineagos official post, is to download the us cellular version first.

So now i am at the process of installed the US cellular version and can confirm I have swithc for unlocking bootloader in developer options.

it helps to flash by having NO security, (pin, fingerprints etc) before you do so, because you will get a warning upon rebooting and you need to enter PREVIOUS screen lock or lg back into your samsun account.

Warning, you can LOCK the device when this happens.

stay tuned for progress, and ill try to put together an updated how-to

Has anyone received an update prompt for their S10+ with a build # G975USQU3DTEB? I know Google already forced the Covid crap on us in Google settings. I'm curious what the "New and / or enhanced features" are in this update since they never detail them. I'm not in favor of Google and their sneakiness when it comes to this Covid / contact tracing bulls**t.

Hopefully the "new" features are less battery drain and hibernated apps with Greenify stay hibernated which were problems introduced in the April security patch.

Hey Everyone,

My work recently did a change to how their WebOutlook server works and instead of going to "weboutlook.domain.com" we have to go to "weboutlook.domain.com/exchange/" . I tried changing my ActiveSync setup, on my T-Mobile Shadow, but the "/exchange/" keeps being deleted.

Is there a registry change that I can make to have "weboutlook.domain.com/exchange/" be the WebOutlook server that ActiveSync syncronizes with?

Thanks for any info any of you might have.

PS - If there is no way, has anyone experimented with doing a DNS forward from "domain2.com" to "weboutlook.domain.com/exchange/" to see if that works with ActiveSync DirectPush?

[Samsung Gear S2] Kash20011:
Hi everyone, Im new to the S2 Gear classic I bought a few weeks ago. So Ive had issues with getting later apps to run on the stock firmware which I think was .., BL_R732XXU2AQJ3 overall it works ok but the faces choice is poor and the android face apps to design wont work with this version.

So I am looking to upgrade, as the gear app doesnt allow it and just fails after 3-4 secs of updating the watch, I know its common issue and you have to use Odin to transfer via wifi

I have sourced the firmware BL_R732XXU2AQJ3 is this the next one or latest in this series and is it likely to update after installing this firmware thereafter or kill the watch as out of sequence?

Any help on sourcing the correct firmware and sequence of upgrades would be gratefully received. I'm not an expert in these at all if anything. But my IT is ok so I am hoping to flash this and get some of the face designs on the phone of my own creation like with watch face creator or facer.

Any help or advise would be fantastic in being able to sort the firmware out and become a bit more knowledgeable on this devise.

[Samsung Gear S2] Kash20011:
I know many have moved on from this watch but any info or links is much appreciated in trying to update this watch so it can be used as it should be. Not worried about getting all the bells and whistles just so that the firmware updates a little to get the face designs to work from the mobile.

I would flash and take the risk but I dont know if theres a recovery option out there thats workable to recover, as I =m not even sure how to back up the existing firmware should the update go bad.

Any geniuses out there that could lend a hand.

Is the last version the one I have installed by default?

Five of the above say Euro, so I assume that these are the UK version also. But does it matter if I dont want Samsung Pay but the most efficient would be good.

If the Tizen face design apps worked and if I could install them on the watch, I wouldnt go through this as it works well and battery life is very good. But I prefer my own designs and I cant get them on the watch without flashing to a high version I'm guessing.

Hopefully the firmware versions list is useful to some and comments on which would be the preferred version would be great. And jumping versions does this become an issue or do you have to flash in order.

Many thanks.

[Samsung Gear S2] Kash20011:
Hi many thanks very much appreciated, thats great hopefully flashing through Odin will work ok and it may upgrade to the latest thereafter.

I know its difficult as the tech is much older and files are hard to get, but it is appreciated as it seems a very good watch still.

Is there anything to watch out for in the flashing that could cause a corruption as I assume its like flashing a phone rom. I'll check the youtube and on here for advise also and report back as this may help others that cant afford or just love the slightly older tech.

Many thanks again.
[Samsung Gear S2] Kash20011:
One other question, the Android Gear app checks the firmware version and then downloads the update, can these files be captured ie copied and moved through a file manager and then flashed via odin separately. If so does anyone know where these temporary files are stored in the download process :D

Thoughts on this would be great before I flash the firmware kindly provided.

ATB
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
FOTA files are incremental stuff...

Yes, different ways to "capture"...

But you need Root access on Watch blabla... because not useable in netOdin nor Odin...

I have nearly all SM-R732 files... I am only too lazy to upload...

My suggestion is to use as first attempt:

EQC1

Because Link in this Thread. :D

Maybe our russian users in PDA Forum have more recent still valid Download Links...

[Samsung Gear S2] Kash20011:
Can I say a big thanks to adfree :D:good: for the file posted above, I flashed using odinwifi and it worked without issue, I did do a factory reset of the watch before uploading this file to the watch.

I then went through the incremental updates about 2 flashes one of 19mb the other around 90mb and now reports no further updates. I did notice on the 1st flashing of firmware that the watch lost bluetooth connect a few times, but since the further update its now working.

A lot of the watch design software still doesnt work but that can now only be down to the writers of software than the firmware. So thats a separate issue. All working battery life seems ok but still not tested that much.

But the firmware for this model is a god send as a proper list of firmware for these watches is really hard to come by.

I'll also upload this firmware to googledrive soon in case adfree removes it for some reason as the more we host the better this place becomes.

Big thanks to all contributors as the watch now is looking good :D

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ianeze46:
I need help understanding all the differences between the various S20 Plus 5G versions. I live in Italy and I want to buy the Snapdragon international unlocked but I miss some points in using an international version here where we can only find the Exynos one.

Speaking about the various names, so far I understood

Snapdragon 865 – 12GB RAM:

SM-G986U - Factory Unlocked from US

SM-G986N - South Korea (?):confused:a lot of bloatware and a custom intro animation, so not the original and "pure" Android version:confused:(?)

SM-G9860, SM-G9868 - China, Hong Kong, Japan, Brazil

I've found a good price for the SM-G986N in a European store but I'm missing some details:

My phone will update as soon as the update is rolled out in Korea? And then about the bloatware, easily removable to make the phone lighter and snappier? Regarding this I was wondering if I can flash the US firmware or is it impossible due to hardware differences between the SM-G986N and the SM-G986U? I really miss this point, if there only are software-related differences between devices with the same CPU or also hardware ones.

I've found sometimes the US version in some stores but there were crazy prices or very limited availability.

Which version would you guys suggest me to go for? Thanks in advance for any answer. :)

EDIT #1 after chieco's answer: rootable phone isn't a priority
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] chieco:
you need to get this model

SM-G9860

because it has the least bloatware, SnapDragon aaaaaand most important, it can be rooted! Also since your warranty is handled thru the seller and not Samsung you don't need to worry about knox effecting your warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ianeze46:
Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't actually thinking aboutroot, but knowing I can do that if I want is certainly an added value!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
SM-G9860 will get OTA Updates regardless of your Service Provider, it's Dual-SIM unlike South Korean Variant, it's less expensive than the SM-G986N or SM-G986U and it's as close as you'll get to a pure Android Device when compared to any other Samsung offerings. The only real disadvantages are it may not be 5G Compatible depending on your Service Provider and Warrant Repairs typically aren't handled by the seller unless you buy it directly from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YH93:
SM-GM9860 is the one you need.

I'm using it in the Netherlands and everything works like a charm.

Please do check beforehand whether the device supports all network bands that your telecom provider is operating on.

Forget about the SM-986N. It is single SIM and has a lot of Korean bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ianeze46:
I've only heard about Samsung Pay, it's the only feature that won't work here in Europe with the SM-GM9860 right? (There's Google Pay, so no problems with that)

All the other "Samsung's" ones like Knox, Pass etc. should work normally as far as I know. Can you confirm?

I checked the bands here in Italy and all should work normally. Thanks for sharing your opinion!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] anandus:
Did you get it in a Dutch (online) shop (if so, where?) or did you import it?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YH93:
I'm not sure about Samsung Pay.

I've read some stories (can't recall on which forum) from European users who confirmed that Samsung Pay works fine on their Snapdragon S20.

I'm not using it myself so cannot confirm.

I can confirm though that the other features that you're mentioning work perfectly.

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

I imported from HongKong via Wondamobile.com.

I can recommend this shop. They're very fast in shipping out the phone (took about a week to arrive), you don't pay any customs fees and they are very helpful in answering any questions you have.

The only thing I recommend to buy yourself if you order from Hongkong is a wallcharger that is compatible with the powersockets in your country.

I recovered my Lumia 950XL DS and by using the Windows Recovery Tool I flashated the latest Windows 10 Mobile firmware.

Before to finalize the configuration the system require me to disable the anti-restore protection as I didn't disable before the "Find Me" option.

How can I go ahead?

I use vlc media player to playback recorded videos on my pc, and all the videos of my son have no sound. This happened on the kaizer too and it was due to a copyright issue w/ the codecs htc use.

Has anyone found a work around for this?

Anyone?

GSpot says Audio codec: 'samr: AMR Narrowband' - could not find anything suitable for PC though and just ran out of time...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikeycollins13:
This is truly terrible

Would you have a phone with photos that can only be viewed on that phone on and not shared?

Why would these idiots use codec that makes it impossible to share videos with sound with any PCs?

How incredibly stupid of HTC?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Heeuge:
I think it's a licencing issue with VLC itself - it can't play the SAMR AMR audio codec. I discovered this accidentally after emailing a vid to the missus who discovered she couldn't play it on her Macbook (using VLC). One of the threads I read about it is here.

I use mediaplayer classic and the K-Lite codec pack from free-codecs.com on my (windows-based) laptop and have no issues at all.

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] schmeichler:
so you must have some codec able to play this... have you tried opening Diamond-Vids with other applications like vlc ;) or maybe a conversion tool (like if one would like to convert to an flv for upping to web).

Also in your K-Lite there is a GSpot :D could you check what it shows in 'Audio' (check screenie)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GT-[R]:
ive been trying ot find a codec to get videos to work too.... well, video works but theres no sound on video files recorded with the diamond... ill give the klite pack a try i guess

if you manage to get sound - it would be great if you could check which codec is used ... thx!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Stellium7:
same problem here

I have tried out every player under the sun (yes vlc too), updated several different codec packs, and still have the same problem.

I know that there is sound encoded in the files, because when I play them on the phone there is sound.

I have a friend with the same phone, and he also has the same problem.

I have recorded several lectures, and it would be fantastic is someone can find a fix for this.. my intention was never to watch the videos on the phone.. otherwise i'll just end up cross-eyed.

Any help much appreciated.

Uninstal the updates and either Uninstal or disable the app, restart your device, reinstall or enable the app and update. Still not working? Insure the device and all apps are updated or up to date, check your security settings and try again. Still not working? Uninstal the updates for the app, disable the app, clear cache and data, go to APK pure or some other trust worthy APK site, download and install the updated APK's after enabling the app again ( enable the app before APK install) turn off automatic updates for play store temporally and don't update the app after re-enable, that's what the APK is for.

I'd like to learn Android and do some low level development, but instead of using any one of my phone or tablet, I would like to use some single board computer like an Odroid.

Does anyone have any experience with an SBC, or know which SBC board would be good and doesn't require much effort to set it up and get started?

Since my current phones run Android 6.0 and 7.0, the ability to run those is a non-negotiable must.

1. SD card slot (regular or micro) in addition to onboard flash

2. HDMI or DP output

3. at least a dual core ARM CPU
