Sorry, I was busy for some days,

No, you don't need to fully charge your phone

Just found this on youtube, you can check it out

Your phone is g355hm, so I don't know if this recovery will work. If it works, then you can easily solve the problem with your mount points. I'll help you with that after you get twrp

Use the Odin tutorial
[General Questions and Answers] UserCroft:
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me. I figured you were busy these days, so I left a message for you to see and remember POST.

I had seen this video on Youtube before, but I saw it again and followed all the steps. I used the two versions of the TWRP for the model SM-G355HN and G355H through the link you sent me, but neither of them is being recognized by the device. I tested other different CWM versions like:

philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar

philz_touch_6.09.6-n8020.tar

philz_touch_6.57.9-ghost

All of them were not recognized and loaded in recovery mode.

I was confused by a specific part of the video. After the STOCK ROM was sent by Odin, the phone restarts. (At that moment there was a cut in the video). I couldn't see what he did, but I decided it was just to turn the device off and on again in download mode to pass the CWM/TWRP.

Is it possible that the system is blocking the files that I am sending? Maybe an FRP lock? I don't know much about the android system, but I suspect that the device's BIOS does not accept any features via download mode. FRP Lock is for Android from 5.0, correct? My Android is 4.4.2 KitKat.

I have already used the main versions of Odin, including the modified versions. I used about 5 different STOCK ROMS and about 10 different versions of TWRP and CWM. Nothing works! I'm getting upset. : (

I'm running out of options. If you have any more suggestions feel free to answer me. Don't be in a hurry ... answer when you can.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Tab E:
One this is certain, FRP can't make any difference. In the video, after the flashing is complete, he immediately turned the phone back in download mode and flashed the custom recovery. As no reocvey works, extract your recovery.img from your firmware and use this one click TWRP porting tool. You will have mount pint issues, but just follow the above video if you are able to successfully able to boot the twrp you ported with this tool https://firmwarecare.com/spreadtrum-auto-twrp-recovery-porter-v1-2
[General Questions and Answers] UserCroft:
Thank you for sending the tool. This version does not support Android 4 KitKat. I downloaded version 1.0 (Version 1.0 supports Android 4). I used 3 Recovery.img files from 3 different STOCK ROMS and came across this error on Odin:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003>

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

The versions used were 3.06 - 3.09 - 3.10.6 - 3.11.1 - 3.14.1 3B Patched. I converted Recovery to .tar and .md5, but none of them work. I even tried to use Recovery Original to ensure that the problem was not the conversion, but the original file did not give errors by Odin, so I ruled out the possibility of being the conversion.

I would like to mention something from the video above: His screen in Download mode describes the ROM as Custom. After he passes the FIRMWARE through Odin the information changes to Samsung Official. My information is not Custom ... it is Samsung Official, so I wouldn't know if the transfer was successful or not.

Would it work if I switched to Custom and then went back to Official again? (I'm just speculating. I don't know if that is valid or not.)

Could you answer some questions? There are doubts about the device and the recovery mode.

1 - Why doesn't my recovery screen give me options to access it ? (Just the error message)

2 - Why when I pass any FIRMWARE through Odin and the phone restarts, no process is done for the ROM to be installed normally?

3 - The recovery screen appears for 5 seconds only ... after that the phone restarts again. This is normal ?

4 - Is there any possibility that the system is blocking by default any modification made by Odin by installing FIRMARES or customized recoveries? (This would explain why the phone does not install anything.)

5 - Is it possible to correct the error '' E: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument) '' by passing the original Efs..tar.md5 file?

6 - What is the best version of Odin to install Android 4.4.2 KitKat systems?

Grateful!
[General Questions and Answers] Tab E:
Try switching to custom and then official.

1) actually, if there is something wrong with just the /efs partition, it shouldn't affect the recovery

2) looks like many partitions are corrupted

4) core 2 has no bootloader or any such protection to stop flashing

5) the efs file is included in the firmware, so it is flashed with the firmware.

Conclusion - looks like multiple partions are corrupted. Try to verify this by flashing any custom recovery or rom and check the status in Odin. Even after flashing a custom recovery, the status is stock, then there are definitely many corrupted partitions. If it's so, fixing it will be very tough
[General Questions and Answers] UserCroft:
I will do as much as I can. Tomorrow I will contact you to say if something worked. If nothing goes well I will need to take the device for specialized maintenance. Thanks for the help, buddy. If I ever manage to solve this problem I will make a guide in FORUM showing how to fix it and give you the credits.
[General Questions and Answers] UserCroft:
Unfortunately nothing went right, friend. I tested everything I could. I have no other options left. All the procedures were done, I followed all your suggestions, but nothing works. There is no doubt that all partitions are corrupted. You told me it would be very difficult to fix it, so I'm not even going to try. I did as much as I could with this device. I am not qualified for this, I am just a lay person who is trying to solve a complex problem.

If you think I can do this from home with some tool, tell me. If it’s too complex I’ll take it to a maintenance specialist.

Just one more question: I don't know which ROM has been installed on this device previously and which Binary of FIRMWARE. Will the Device only accept a FIRMWARE that has exactly the '' Same '' binary? For example ... I have a ROM with the PDA binary G355MUBS0AQC2 .... Will the System only accept exactly this value so that it can be installed?

I forgot to ask this at the beginning.
[General Questions and Answers] Tab E:
Sorry, I have no knowledge of using tools or fixing a device by repairing the hardware. Using the wrong binary doesn't make a difference on these older devices.

I'm greatfull for your help.

[Nubia Red Magic 6] chocolote4444:
I've tried using shortcut master and accessing the telephony bands settings in the Red Magic 6 settings that isn't viewable. So far, no luck. I tried setting it to evdo, cdma, etc.

Anyone find a fix or have found a workaround for this?
[Nubia Red Magic 6] WR-3N:
I'm having the same issue. So far I have stumped the techs at my local Verizon store and also tech support. I have an escalated ticket with phone support so hopefully I'll get some answers. In the meantime someone on reddit mentioned when they got a new SIM card it worked. They were going from an old 4G phone SIM to a 5G. This was my situation but did not fix it for me. Worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] bs3pro:
Your never gonna get sms working properly on Verizon.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] WR-3N:
Update: I talked to tier 2 tech support at Verizon and had my ticket escalated to the Network Repair Bureau. From what it sounds is that they need to enable CDMA less on the Red Magic 6 but aren't able to until the device is added to their list, which they are going to do. ETA is 1-5 days.

The tech said they had a ticket exactly like this before and were successful so there is some hope here. I'll continue to pursue this and update again once I have more.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] bs3pro:
Good luck with that. Vz are diks with non approved phone. Another way around it, is activate a one plus, and they will add CDMA less instantly, then pop sim in rm6
[Nubia Red Magic 6] WR-3N:
If it comes down to that, I'll give it a try. I don't have a One Plus on hand but maybe I can get them to try it at the Verizon store.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] RealSaiyanAS:
Can you even get Band 13 on this phone?

Hi Everyone,

I'm from Australia and recently bought a SM-G781B off eBay...

Turns out it was a UAE variant and Samsung Pay is all messed up.

I've flashed the phone a few times now using ODIN, trying to get the right CSC correct for Australia (G781BXXU2CUB5) for either of the following CSC's;

XSA (Generic Australia), OPS (Optus), VAU (Vodafone), or TEL (Telstra).

The issue I have is all the Stock Firmware's I've download and flashed keeps registering my CSC as XME (Malaysia)...

Phone INFO app doesn't even detect any other CSC's in the package

I've tried downloading the correct Firmware packs from the following and none gives me the correct CSC for Australia;

https://samfrew.com/

https://www.sammobile.com/

https://samfw.com/

App: Frija Firmware

Does anyone know why this is happening, or can upload/direct me to correct firmware either XSA, OPS (Optus), VAU (Vodafone), or TEL (Telstra)?

I'm totally at a loss now...

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks heaps in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mel:
from what I've read recently Samsung has stopped people being able to switch as of android 11.

maybe... I stress MAYBE according to your countryman Hugh Jefferys, if there's a lower version of firmware on the same binary number you might be able to downgrade and then that might mean you can switch CSC.

this is someone who's never even tried changing CSC telling you this so your own research is obviously the only thing to put some faith in.

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gj4560:
XSG (UAE) firmware is part of the OJM multi CSC, whereas XSA/OPS/TEL are part of the OLM multi CSC. This means that it is not possible to simply flash XSA in Odin as the multi CSCs are different, you would first have to use the combination ROM to change from OJM to OLM and then you would be able to flash any OLM CSC firmware, whether that be Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, or Thailand. I'm an Aussie myself, I got my phone from JB Hi Fi but switched it to Thailand CSC since XSA updates are horrendously slow (Samsung Pay does still work on Thailand CSC as does VoLTE/VoWiFi). For your case though, I'm afraid you are out of luck in terms of changing the multi CSC with the combination ROM, if you are on One UI 3.1 then the bootloader version is U2 whereas the combination ROM bootloader version is U1, so you would not be able to flash it anyway. Also, I tried to flash the combination ROM while my bootloader was still on U1 because I wanted to change from OLM to OXM (Romania CSC) for fastest updates, but Odin was not allowing the flash first because of "please get the approval to flash factory images (pit)" which I fixed, then "please get the approval to flash factory images (abl)" at which point I gave up. So as I said before, sorry but I don't think there's a lot you can do :( Unless a U2 bootloader version combination ROM is leaked which may or may not happen and you can get around the Odin not allowing you to flash it issues, the phone will unfortunately be stuck on UAE firmware (unless there are other countries part of OJM which you could switch to for faster updates).

Hopefully this helps you.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Skhux:
I have the same model! I changed my CSC but for some reason chat features in messaging app doesn't work now..other than that, all's good..
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] kuri_2k:
Your software version is was originally XSA, so you wouldn’t have any issues flashing it with XSA and defaulting to XSA instead of another region. The CSC will automatically default back to XSA.

Mine unfortunately defaults to Malaysia XME when flashed with XSA firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] kuri_2k:
Thanks for the detailed reply.

From what I’ve tested, I have no issues with flashing from XSG OJM Multi to XSA OLM Multi. You can do this provided the FIrmware security number is the same as your current revision. You can’t however flash to a lower security value. See image attached.

The current firmware security value at the moment is “2” running One UI 3.1, Android 11. We can’t downgrade to any security firmware version “1” types with Android 10. If we could, then you can use multiple methods to manually change the CSC .i.e through Google Dialer or IMEI trick.

All the Firmwares at the moment are still Muti regional, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the CSC manually even though they are Multi regional.

All XSA firmwares I’ve downloaded and flashed will keep defaulting to XME as that’s the default unless my original CSC was XSA to begin with for it to detect.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] kuri_2k:
I think the only option at the moment is to use SAMKEY, unless someone comes with with a new Android 11 method...

The other option is to root the phone and ADB to change the CSC, however this would trigger and break KNOX securities.

I did check Samkeys update log and they state it’s supported now, this method wouldn’t trigger KNOX;

VERSION 3.63.9 (PLANET EARTH'S FIRST)

- Added support for G780F (Galaxy S20 FE) ALL BIT

- Added support for G781B (Galaxy S20 FE 5G) ALL BIT

- Fixed FAIL(16) on Slow PC's

- Fixed FAIL(20) on G780F

They’re actually up to VERSION 3.71.9 now.

Might be worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gj4560:
I can confirm SamKEY works on One UI 3.1, unfortunately it is paid but it does work. You can get an account for cheap from eBay with 1 credit on it which is all you need to do the CSC change. Using it I was able to change from XSA to THL (with no data wipe at all which really surprised me).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gj4560:
Trust me you wouldn't want XSA firmware anyway, the updates are terribly slow for it for the S20 FE 5G (not sure about 4G), it tends to get security patches a month after they should've came out, for example it got the March security patch in April which is pretty awful imo. I think it's the slowest CSC in general for the G781B, if you're on OLM multi CSC you're much better off switching to THL where the updates are a lot faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gj4560:
That's interesting, I didn't think it was possible to change between multi CSCs like this without the combination ROM (how you were able to switch from OJM to OLM). If you try to switch to an OXM multi CSC such as DBT or ROM from OLM multi CSC, what happens? Does it work? I'll be honest I never tried it myself but didn't have the motivation to try it anyway as I heard it wouldn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] kuri_2k:
Hi There,

Yes, im sure it works provided the security firmware version is the same as I mentioned above.

I also changed to BTU to test.

I can't test for you any longer as I've returned the device for a refund. Will go buy an AUS XSA Variant.

Attached are the images of my original and changed firmware for your reference.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gj4560:
That's very interesting, when you get the XSA variant can you try and see if you are able to flash a CSC such as ROM or DBT on the phone successfully using Odin? I would love to know if it was possible for this to work or not, I'm on THL myself after changing from XSA and did not think it was possible to switch to a different multi CSC (from OLM to OXM).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] kuri_2k:
Wish I tried it before returning the device. The Australian stock only has 6GB RAM and no dual-sim....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gj4560:
Yeah that's true no 8GB variant sold here as far as I know not even on the Samsung website and we don't even get eSIM support either :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] VM57:
Is there an update/workaround on this issue?

are there any methods that work without samKey?

Noticed that the dialer app that was once able to record calls, is now recording only me talking, since the latest OTA updates on the stock firmware (updated to oneUI 3.1 and Android 11).

I'm also on XSG (OJM) firmware and want to change CSC to enable call recording on galaxy S20 FE 5G (model G781B).

Would love to know how can it be done.

*my software info is attached in the screenshot

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Peterepeat87:
I'm sure by now you've already sorted this, but this is for future people with a need to change CSC

The SamFW FRP Tool can tell you which CSCs are available on your phone already, and can automatically have the CarrierPreConfig service trigger a CSC update. Only need to enable USB Debugging. No root, no reinstall.

But if your phone doesn't have the CSC you need already, download Frija, or another firmware download tool, you'll be able to download and install an OXM Multi CSC firmware (such as XSA, OPS, TEL or VAU), and install it via ODIN tool.

Be sure to select HOME_CSC to keep your data, and backup first.

Hello everyone And what's wrong with the Chinese version with global firmware?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
Somehow funny that he writes that the device is original sealed. How was the global ROM flashed then? 😄

The disadvantage is that it is still the CN device and the bootloader is open and must remain open.

So the only advantage is that you don't have to flash the global ROM yourself.

The disadvantage, on the other hand, is that you do not know whether the trader is serious and what you actually get.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Tankarddd:
I noticed that, too. And in another message, he writes that - on the screen))

Yes, the seller is only good at checking on Alibaba, which is actually not clear at all
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Parkourhaderatt:
Is it bad that the bootloader is open?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
With an open bootloader it can be that certain apps cannot start. Or that certain functions of the app do not work like intended. This primarily concerns security-critical apps such as banking apps.

Most of the time, of course, there are solutions to get the things to run anyway, but you just have to be aware that there could be problems. This also applies to certain Google services such as Google Pay.

If you want to know more about that, you have to search after "SafetyNet".

As I said, however, there are usually ways to get everything to run. 🥴😊
