Because 90% of the buyers never try a snapdragon, and just love to say I pay 1400€ for this phone to impress the friends.

I know but we've been saying this year after year and yet peeps still buy exynos. The price of the note 20 ultra is falling terribly, seen some going for £800 on ebay. Will only buy when it's at least £550,which seems to be soon, with the way prices are falling.

Like said in the post before yours, 99% don't know a s#it about hardware and what means having 20% less performance for the same money.

Yap me too, I rather say "I only pay 700€ for this phone"... than say " look I'm rich I pay 1400€ for this phone" [emoji1787] that's why I will buy snapdragon and only end October or begin November.

Good idea :D I sold the exynos garbage and bought the SD version from wondamobile, and I got the phone delivered in Lausanne after only 3 days! I'm really happy with this one, the battery life is twice longer! :eek::eek::eek::highfive::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] marvi0:
I am definitely not falling for it this time around. Unless if I buy one for at least £700, second hand obviously, that is the only way I can justify the difference between the 2. That is why I will not buy it at the same price as the sd version, no way more video evidence ?

N986n original from korea which is always been better variant then others.

5G got max 350mbps but working flawlessly even the coverage is better or may be im on EE.

On p40 pro, I got max 450mbps whereas oppo 10x zoom its the best 500+ maps.

Everything's works fantastic got antutu 588k compared to exynos 541k

Camera have some magical power of processing after shoot which I think exynos lacks not sure though. Only thing that doesn't work is samsung pay asking for korean sim card. But who cares, Google pay works fine.

No heating issues never. This is been bought from korea direct but its the same version sold on wonda mobile.

Go for it blindly. Problem with insurance. Companies in UK won't insure a mobile which is not sold by recognized UK seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] theholyguy:
The "problems" with Korean version is:

-Single sim

- a lot of bloatware from Korea

- only 256gb version, I think.

The camera is not magic... is the ISP(image processor) on snapdragon SoC that is better than the one in exynos.

Anyway both have the n78 5g so Hong Kong version should work too.

S20 ultra from HK works.

Is just Samsung messing again, e 3 months updates they solve I hope [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Although I bought the SD-powered HK version, I actually hope that Samsung continues - and steps up its game - with the Exynos 1000. I think all the folks saying Samsung should ditch Exynos and just offer all of us Snapdragon are forgetting the impact that lack of competition would ultimately have on their phones and the market...

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Interesting - that's the first I've heard of Samsung Pay being linked to the SIM. Unless that's a unique quirk of the Korean model, or your phone is still somehow region locked...?

I tried the adb method (not app) to set max refresh rate to 96hz for my exynos. No perceptible difference to 120hz (at least to me). But phone runs much cooler and battery life significantly better.

I have just got the Oppo Find X2 Pro from Vodafone. Here in Britain we have a "cooling off period" which is 14 days to decide whether we like the device or not. I have just discovered that Oppo have pulled a "Huawei" and completely restricted bootloader unlocking without a code. Question is, I had the S20 Ultra and I got rid of that pretty sharpish because of the exynos problem. Is the Note 20 Ultra any better or should I stick with the Find X2 Pro?

You have Malware... Watch your data be sucked dry.

You could spend hours combing through your phone trying to find what app has done this, generally a side loaded app that wasn't vetted by the play store but sometimes not, or back up anything you desperately want to keep and bite the bullet with a factory reset.

This may just be "spamming" your phone with unwanted apps but can also be stealing your personal data, tracking your online presence and stealing passwords.

Safest way to kill it is by factory reset...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sumitescp:
First of all, opening a thread is not the right thing to do for asking advice. about hard spl that means that you can flash whatever you want how many times you want without any restrictions you will not brick your phone if you do everything properly. by saying flashing everything you want I mean flashing everything from the DIAMOND FORUM. Please do not try to flash anything made for other devices. And next time ask the questions in its right place on this case you should have asked on the HARD SPL thread. Happy Flashing!:)

[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] KouaV1:
If it is still bootloader unlocked and still has fastboot then you can still save it by using adb to boot into twrp. You don't need to wipe laf partition/download mode because you can always access fastboot either way so its pointless to nuke it.

Crossflashing will not make it unlocked for carrier use. You have to carrier unlock it before crossflashing. Just go out and buy an phone unlocked for the us market or the V405QA7 model.

Factory reset holding VOL- POWER BUTTON, releasing POWER BUTTON when screen on and still keeping VOL- pressed and pressing POWER BUTTON again doesn't change anything.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
I'd suggest to those having these issues it to get into edl / qfil mode and flash (u saved them right?) the original abl (a and b) and original laf (a and b). Then get into lgup / download mode (hopefully) and flash a stock rom.

The thing about getting into qfil is that you can do it from **any** screen (well, maybe not with the device off, never tried that scenario). The difference doing it in other screens than a booted device is you won't get any 'count down' screen, you'll just have to wait the 5 seconds and when screen changes spam the vol up.

good luck
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] yemkoid:

Turn off your phone and boot into edl mode (when phone is off connect usb or leave usb connected and immediately hold vol down and power buttons and keep rapidly pressing the vol up)

Is there anyway to figure out which version it is in the EDL?

EDL is the only thing i can enter now.

Can I flash the rom via EDL directly?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
No, edl can't 'flash' a rom. Just look at the kdz file you used, it will say the version in it.

Also, you can take that kdz and use the utilities that separate out all the partitions. But I may have them already, but need version to be sure.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
I didn't flashed any KDZ as the the seller flashed it already.

Since I only flashed the ABL_A, Can I save the ABL_B from the phone and comparing it with your files to guess which ABL_A should be used?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
they are all the same size, don't think that will tell you anything.

Here's what to do, use edl to save the 'b' versions (hopefully you didn't overwrite those also). Then take them and flash them to 'a'. Then write down what your version is when it boots ;)
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
I just found that I may click "Read Data" during EDL before i flash the ABL_A. and i found this file ReadData_ufs_Lun4_0xdd06_Len256_DT_25_04_2021_19_07_11. Should I flashed it to ABL_A again and try to boot it again?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
you obviously haven't used qfil at all. Yes, what u want to do is 'read partition' after selecting abl_b. Then, as you know, the file is a bizarre name found in the folder / port that qfil is using.

That file will match the output name given when it reads the data. All you need to is rename the file to (whichever partition you backed up) like abl_b.img

Then select that abl_a partition and use the manager to 'load' an image to that partition, select the one u just saved.

Keep in mind, I have no idea which one of your slots is active. In the examples above, it's assuming your 'a' slot is the active slot. If it's not! then reverse a and b examples above.

So, in worst case scenario, I'd suggest you save off both your abl_a and abl_b, and rename the results to something like abl_a_current, and abl_b_current, that way if copying one to the other doesn't make it boot, redo it but copy the opposite ones back. (because you're not on the slot you think it is.)

make sense?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
Yes..Italso help me to understand more about the qfil.

Thanks a lot for your help..

I just figured out that I actually backed up the original abl_a before i flashed the v35eng.img. After i restore the original abl_a to abl_a, my phone finally resume normal.

Can you also suggest a proper way to restore fastboot on my phone? because I want to disable the vbmeta and replace the open_kr with open_us.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
good. Yes the best way, especially with korean rom, is to flash the v35 eng abl to your not active slot, which I think in your case is 'b', so abl_b.

the key to that working is you need to have twrp installed, so you can use it to set 'b' partition as active, then select 'reboot bootloader' and it will boot to fastboot. You can then use fastboot and follow the info in this vbmeta link. Read the directions.

the other option (if u don't have twrp yet), would be to flash v35 eng to a, boot to fastboot, do the vbmeta stuff, then use fastboot to flash the original abl_a back, so it will boot.
