sm-g975u unlocked att phone wanting to change to tmobile. I have a tmobile sim and had originally plugged this in. The phone works fine but I recently noticed it has no Ota updates occurring. I would like to load tmobile firmware on it to enable some of the tmobile features as well but primary concern is ota updates.

the service provider sw ver.

SAOMC_SM-G975U-OYN-AT-PP-0033

ATT/ATT/ATT

BUILD NUMBER

PPR1.180610.011.G975USQS1ASD9

Ap/CP:G975USQS1ASD9

Csc:G975UOYN1ASD9

Last update may 2019

When I try says fully updated when I put it on samsung switch it says fully updated

Can this be done?

What firmware do you suggest?

Csc *#272imei#(may have that wrong) but is recognized and does work not sure when and what to use here, many options.

Also, not sure of the answer here, but if I run an update or csc change (the phone is unlocked) would it require me to unlock it again for any reason?

I am trying to get the phone close to a tmobile if that is possible

Thank you in advance if i need to give more info please let me know.

Download the firmware of your current network and flash you will begin to receive updates. However you can also flash the unbranded one which is G975U1 and you will still receive updates too
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheRealYukonCornelius:
Can you give directions on how to get the firmware for the current network and how to flash the phone? I have an SM-G975U that is on SPR that I need to get to ATT so it will get updates from cricket. I have found a lot of materials on the internet and not a single one shows all of the steps clear enough for me to risk blowing up my phone. I have found the SPR files and TMK, and USA, and TMB, but no ATT.

Anyone else have poor auto-focus? Mostly when doing close up shots. Though the laserfocus was suppose to help with this but it isn't much better than the Note 10+. I'm constantly getting blurry photos when I do close ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] herpi:
Yep, the same. While trying to make a picture of the barcode info from the note 20 box itself. I am used for these kind of things to fill the screen with the barcode and text.

I really had to take a larger distance.

Never succeeded to do it well.

I know there are threads regarding how to remove Bloatware and the various apps ...... but this is a specific question to ask if people really find it helpful to remove stuff and why ?? And are there any downsides?

Preface this with in the day of custom ROMs often the developer had “done the work for us” when streamlining stuff.

I just don’t want to go the route of removing or disabling stuff if people are really finding it helpful

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
I've never ever done it. Never found the need. Battery life and performance has never been an issue for me. And I've owned the S7E, S8+, S9+, S10+, S10 5G, S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra 5G.

Depending on what you remove, it can/will disable some useful features. I don't see the point removing anything on an expensive flagship when there's no need, especially when there's little to no gain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] beautyangel:
Personally, i remove all the bloatware with revo uninstaller. Bloatware are simply garbage and useless, it's make your smartphone slow. You can't uninstall all bloatwares if not your phone crashes.

Just curious have your devices been the exyons versions?

I live in the UK and always had exynos and never really had any problems but there is tones of hate for exynos
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yep, all Exynos here in Australia. Never had any issues with them. A lot of the Exynos hae is just people jumping on the bandwagon.

Sure it performs worse than SD on benchmarks etc, but who buys a phone to run benchmarks? I don't care if the SD runs a little better than mine. As long as mien does what I need it to do with enough performance, I have no problem with that. And it works perfectly fine, no battery issues,no heat issues. I love mine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] jcrompton:
Thanks for the advice — I have to admit that I loved custom ROMs in the past that had quite a bit of stuff removed but when it was all said and done it didn’t really increase performance , maybe just appearance ... in the “stock” android direction. I’m sure there is a lot of stuff that I might choose to remove but when it was said and done not really know how it could effect other things —- Thanks for your experience
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yea, I used to be the same, in the past with custom ROMs. I used to make my own custom ROMs for pre-Android Windows Mobile devices. Then in Android I'd like ROMs with a lot of stuff removed. But later decided I preferred stock, or custom with not as much removed, as there was no difference. It was just more of a placebo. I prefer to have everything in the phone working as it was designed.

Sure, I uninstall some preinstalled software such as Spotify, but certainly nothing more than that. No debloating.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yea, Australia is an amazing country. I absolutely love it here. I moved here from Scotland back in 2001 when I was 21 (met and married an Aussie :p). Scotland is also a beautiful coutry in it's own right. But I love the heat, the laid back lifestyle, and the vast landscape of Australia. :good:

It's the perfect place for a single bloke to live :laugh:

This could be a fair point. I've never used a US phone, and US carriers may well put more crap in their devices. But from the debloat lists I've seen on the forum, a lot of thigns that get removed aren't bloat, they're actual services, both Android and Samsung.

So sure, I would agree to removing all the carrier specific crap, but I wouldn't remove anything more. That's just me though :)

I use PD MDM because with all the other Playstore blockers Sammy* ended up leaning on them to remove blocking for AT&T Software Updates.

I block apk this like religion.

PD MDM is not on Playstore anymore so the rules have changed in their favor.

Zero issues with it on the 10+ running on Pie. License transferred automatically after last 2 reloads.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runswithascript:
I have flashed [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][m8qlul] LineageOS 15.1 for HTC One M8s for someone and it is working really great. The only serious issue, which existed on stock years ago, is the main reason they stopped using the phone in the past - sometimes when the phone is off it could take between 5 and 30 minutes of pressing the power button to turn it back on. Sometimes it will turn back on very easily, other times like last night it took nearly 30 minutes, of holding the power button down for various lengths of time ranging from several seconds to more than 90 seconds, with and without volume down or volume up, and it finally normally booted after letting it charge for about 15 minutes to around 75%.

The user remembers in the past that if the battery went completely dead they would have to charge it to 100% or close to it before it would turn on again. They are now trying not to turn it off but if they could rest assured if it does end up off it will turn on again without issue, finding a way to manually apply a security patch if possible, would be all that is stopping this being a viable replacement, and save them having to spend on a new phone.

The back cover gets very hot (not just warm) but this only seems to be when booting.

Have any of you experienced any of this, and is there a fix?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrocketdog:
well , do not own the m8s but isnt there a low battery warning built in? (also am not using that rom). or an app that would do the same thing? set warning at whatever batt. % they choose and never have to worry about a completely drained battery and phone turning off.

also , is there possibility of a faulty power button?

are they using a case that wont let heat dissipate?

just some thoughts. good luck with getring a fix.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runswithascript:
Thanks for the input. I know I have low battery blinking light set up on my own device with Revenge OS Android 10 but I'm not sure it's on Oreo - I will check and see if there is an app. Even when the screen is on the power button is hit and miss but way less responsive on lower battery. Would eBay be the best place to find a replacement, and perhaps use a YouTube teardown for reference? I want to get them a case as a gift but they don't use one at the moment. Most of the phone (cover? chassis?) is metallic.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrocketdog:
for me yes & yes :). amazon and youtube for a vid.

there is also a sight https://www.ifixit.com/# , i've never used myself but have seen it referenced alot. i believe they have teardown guides , a community for support , and possibly tools (if needed). not sure about parts.

but those 3 would be my go-tos if there was nothing here on xda.

not sure about cases. surely somewhere on the www is a review of cases if you dont already have one in mind.

stay safe & good luck.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kasper_h:
Out-of-the blue my phone rebooted while doing nothing (no new ROM or anything) and got into a bootloop. If I try to enter recovery, it will only show TWRP splash but after 0.5 second, it will reboot automatically. Same for fastboot, I do see the fastboot logo, but again after 0.5 second it will reboot. After some time, the battery ran out, and also the charging screen when plugging the phone in while switched off shows bootloop: 0.5 second of battery screen and bootloops there as well.

I tried MiFlash, aiming to start the flashing very quickly once I enter fastboot, but although it starts uploading stuff (so it does make a connection), it again crashes after 0.5 second again.

There are no Xiaomi service centers in my country and the phone is out-of-warranty. I still would love to revive it, but am out of ideas on how to achieve this if the bootloop seems to be so extremely persistent.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hey, I have the exact same issue. Did you ever find a solution about it? Boot looping every few seconds and no fast boot or recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Fanfouay:
Just in case this can help someone, seems like there was a bad contact on the power button leaving it pressed? I blew some compressed air on the power button opening and it stopped rebooting.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kasper_h:
Thanks for the tip! After two months collecting dust (and me taking over my sister in law's mix2s) I took it out, blowed out at the power button and it came to life again!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] byte2020:
Hello there,

Did you opened the case and then you blew compressed air?

I have the same issue. Did your problem looked like THIS?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] kasper_h:
My problem looked exactly like this!

I did not even open the case, just blew air around power button. Now a few weeks later, the phone still works fine. Maybe I blew the stuff deeper into the phone doing it like this? Anyway, as long as it doesn't come back, I'm happy. And if it would come back, there is still the option of opening it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SWEUP:
I tried pushing compressed air without opening the phone but still facing the same issue. Anyone tried opening and succeeded by cleaning the power button or solved this by another method?
[Android Head-Units] gloriashield:
Hi, friends,

I installed Android Head Unit in my Jaguar XJL. I analyzed Launcher APK, and I could find, it is looks like also used in AUDI, VOLVO and Cadillac. Although the displays were different, the software seemed to be the same.

Unfortunately it cannot use Quick Boot. I'm looking for an alternative. First of all, I'm looking for a way to turn off the display. I couldn't turn it off with downloaded APP in Google Play.

I found that its display control was being handled by MCU. I made an app after decompile. However, it failed. I think MCU module was not completely decompiled.

By any chance, is there a good way to turn off the display?

* It is a non-rootable device. (maybe)

Are you in fastboot or fastbootd?

To get into fastbootd, you need to type

'fastboot reboot fastboot' in a cmd window while you are in the regular fastboot screen.

Then flash the rom.

Couldn't get this working. Probably because my rav is LATAM distribution (rav, not rav_t). When flashed from fastbootd, I got a bootloop. Thankfully TWRP is working fine, so I could boot stock from the other A/B slot.
[Moto G8 (Moto G Fast) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] thefilefly:
Success!

I had a number of issues while flashing this, as follows:

- I flashed TWRP before doing anything to attempt to flash Omni. As it turns out, fastbootd doesn't work correctly with TWRP installed, so I had to restore to stock before trying again.

- The Omni GSI has to be flashed to slot A by doing fastboot set_active a before you try to flash the partitions.

- When flashing the 20200823 build linked in OP, using the instructions listed, I got a "not enough space to resize partition" error. I attempted to resolve this by doing fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a and fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a - this was the wrong thing to do as it caused an issue mentioned earlier in the thread ("no such file or directory" when trying to flash those partitions), and I restored to stock to resolve this.

- I was able to get the partitions flashed by doing them in a different order than listed in OP. I successfully flashed by doing boot, product, system, vbmeta in that order.

- Once the partitions were successfully flashed, rebooting the device caused it to bootloop, showing the Moto logo for a few seconds and immediately rebooting. I resolved this by flashing an older boot.img from the Telegram channel (attached to this post). Flashing the older boot.img with the product, system, and vbmeta from the 20200823 build linked in OP got my device booting.

Thanks to the folks on Telegram for the help in getting this going.
