[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
I'm not too familiar with this community or android rooting in general but I still want to see what I can do. I want to know more than just the state of rooting, is there a way to unlock the boot loader, is there a way I can remove some (if not all) of the preinstalled spyware and replace it, what can I do to better protect my privacy? I figured I'd check out this community as this is where I was lead when I wanted to root my old Kindle Fire and since this community doesn't just direct to sketchy proprietary tools like kingroot (or maybe you all do, IDK I haven't been here very long). If I could remove alot of the spyware/bloatware I wouldn't be as concerned with rooting or flashing a custom rom as those would be just nice to have if I could get the preinstalled OS to be more privacy focused. I know I can't really escape google since they're embedded right into android but what can I do about Samsung? If I can't do anything on the device I would still like to know if there is a list of domains I could block using a pi-hole. Thanks if anyone has any info, also my phone is from the T-Mobile distribution, I feel like that probably matters.

How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root

If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.

www.xda-developers.com
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
The reason I specified replace is that I already tried this and it broke nearly everything, for example:

despite the fact I have a different keyboard, all keyboards broke, I couldn't get the keyboard to show up.

The entire OS became very unstable
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] LR7875:
(Sentence removed for stopping confusion)

Without TWRP, replacing the OS will be impossible.

Maybe downgrade to a older phone that has greater custom ROM support.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
Wait, de bloating can get the device bricked?

I was able to fix it by just reinstalling everything from pm
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] LR7875:
Not fully bricked, but it can be semibricked, i.e. not completely working as a mobile phone.

Xiaomi boot loops when certain apps are disabled, which is nasty and needs a factory reset to 'unbrick' it. Not sure about Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] yomuppet:
I think you removed things that shouldn't have been, or you didn't have the alternate app (e.g. keyboard) set as default. If you look at my post history, you can find the debloat list that I posted, which is 100% safe to remove without affecting the usage in any way whatsoever.

More aggressive debloating is possible, sure, but you risk breaking some things. You can always reinstall whatever you removed with "pm install-existing" as long as you used -k when you removed.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
No , unless your rooted. whatever you debloat while unrooted can be fixed doing Factory Reset
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
It can be rooted with Magisk V23.0 but you need to unlock the bootloader first.

The bootloader is unlockable up to V3 but this is a paid service.

To get rid of this bloatware i would suggest you flash an unlocked firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] tavella:
You can always flash a SM-A326U1 XXA ROM (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-A326U1/XAA/download/A326U1UEU3AUF2/1558540/) by using a patched version of ODIN 3.13.1 or later. I was able to do this using ODIN 3.1.4 3B

I now have a TMO SM-A326U without any preinstalled TMO bloat. The XAA rom did not install any TMO software that I noticed at a high level and seems like a plan stock A32 5G.

Just make sure the SM-A326U1 baseband is the same version or high than the installed SM-A326U. The base band number will be the 5th to last number in on the About page under baseband.

Edit * I was checking my computer and noticed I had the SM-A326U1 roms for XAA and TMK. I can’t recall if XAA gave me an issue during the flash and I needed to use TMK, but the end result is, my A32 5G has no TMO bloatware installed.

I hope this helps someone.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
Ill try this out i been using the USC FW no bloatware whatsoever
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
I...

Don't understand this lingo

can someone explain
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
So I can flash a de-bloated version of the version of the OS?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
Yes i just flashed the XAA version and it gives the same bloat ( google bloatware ew ) as the USC version
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
Example if the current version your on is A326USQU1AUCF then you can only flash the A326U1UEU1AUF2
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] tavella:
The XAA and TMB are what are referrred to as CSC codes. Each carrier has their own:

ACG – Nextech/C Spire

ATT – AT&T

CCT – Comcast

LRA – Bluegrass Cellular

SPR – Sprint (CDMA)

TFN – Tracfone

TMB – T-Mobile

USC – US Cellular

VMU – Virgin Mobile USA

VZW – Verizon

XAA – USA (unbranded/unlocked/default)

XAS – USA (unbranded/unlocked)

ODIN is software used to flash firmware on to Samsung devices while in Download mode. I believe you need to use a patched version of ODIN to cross flash devices. Regular ODIN will most likely error out during the flashing process.

The SM-A326U is a carrier branded device which is why you will probably not find a ROM with a CSC code of XAA for these devies.

The SM-A326U1 I believe is the carrier unlocked version of the device. Regardless of the CSC you flash, don’t expect to get SM-A326U TMB flashed with the SM-A326U1 XAA firmware to enable OEM Unlock in the Developer Settings. It hasn’t appeared for me and I wouldn’t expect it to.

Please feel free to correct any of my assumptions above. I’m an iPhone guy using this phone with my ASUS router as a failover if my ISP goes down. Just tinkering with it from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
OEM unlock wont appear on the A326U.

The SM-A326U1 XAA & SM-A326U1 USC should be the debranded versions.

The XAA FW causes CSC to revert Whilst the USC doesnt.

Theres is NO XAS FW for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
So from my understanding:

There is a tool known as ODIN, this can be used to flash new roms

and from what I seem to know

I am most likely running a TMB version of the ROM as it was the default for my phone as it is a TMobile OEM version

So my question is now this:

How can I get a working version of ODIN

Where can I find a safe XAS rom to flash

I don't know if my phone is unlocked, if my phone is still locked to TMobile, could this mess with anything?

I am using SM-A326U not SM-A326U1, I assume the 1 version is unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] tavella:
ODIN is the software used to flash ROMS on to Samsung devices. You will want to look for ODIN 3.1.4 3B Patched On the forums or a search engine. The patched version of ODIN will allow you to flash ROMS with different CSC codes. It removes this restriction.

You are correct that the CSC code for your device is TMB. The CSC codes I listed above are some examples, not a complete list. There are no XAS CSC ROMs for this device that I am aware of, just as financeledger stated.

Your Samsung A32 5G is actually the SM-A326U model, but the SM-A326U1 roms also work on these phones, provided you use the patched ODIN. Only the SM-A326U1 has a XAA CSC rom which is bloat free. I have not tried the USC variant but I switched between the SM-A326U TMB and SM-326U1 XAA ROMs and back last night without any issues. You can find the ROMS at Sammobile.com SM-326U1 Roms it will be the third one in the list with the carrier name of Unknown https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-A326U1/XAA/download/A326U1UEU3AUF2/1558540/

Version	Android 11
Changelist	21672463
Build date	Thu, 03 Jun 2021 06:20:56 +0000
Security Patch Level	2021-05-01
Product code	XAA

Doing this will not unlock the phone in any way, shape, or form. All this does is provides you with an A32 5G without any carrier bloat. The boot loader still cannot be unlocked and the sim will remain locked until you’ve met T-Mobile’s conditions for unlocking.

I’d recommend on reading up on how to use ODIN properly as you can brick your device if it is not used correctly. Feel free to reply back if you still have questions. I’m not knowledgable enough to understand what financeledger meant when they said the CSC gets reset using the XAA vs USC rom. Hopefully they can provide some additional details regarding that.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
Ok

to be sure I get it right:

Here is what I shal do:

1: Download https://xdaforums.com/t/patched-odin-3-13-1.3762572/

2: Download the XAA ROM for the SM-A326U

3: Flash the ROM with ODIN

4: Hope I don't brick my phone

Is this right?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] yomuppet:
Stupid question - if you cross flash TMB to another, the OEM unlock will still be gone/greyed?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
Some do , im using SM-A326U_USC_A326USQU3AUE7 and it has the oem unlock tab although mydevice is unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] tavella:
Basically that is it. When you get the SM-A326U1 XAA rom, it will be a zip file with five md5 files inside. They will begin with BL, AP, CP, CSC, and HOME_CSC. In ODIN, there will be spots for each of these files to be placed. CSC will result in a factory reset while HOME_CSC will preserve your user data.

The ODIN app is likely to freeze after selecting certain files for flashing, the AP in particular. Let ODIN do it’s thing, it will take a few minutes.

You might want to watch a YouTube video just to get an idea of how the process works. It’s easier than I’m making it out to be, but it’s your device and not my own. I’d rather you do a little research instead of possibly bricking your phone.

Here’s a screenshot of how ODIN should look with the files selected for flashing and the XAA ROM contents in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TheXGS:
One last question:

If I fail and do brick my Phone

Is it possible to use normal ODIN to flash a normal TMB rom back onto my device and un-brick it

or is there any other way out of a brick?

If there is no way to escape from a brick then I would like to know what causes a brick (besides just a random error caused by some random factor) so I can avoid it
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
Lets make sure you don't soft brick it...

Go to Settings , About Phone, Software Information. On build number you'll see something like i.e RP1A.200720.012.A326U1SQU

3

AUE7 .....

To skip a soft brick you can only cross flash to that certain number you have ...

Example if your on A326U1UEU

3

AUF2 then yes you can flash A326USQU

3

AUE7 because your its the same version.

And yes to get out of a soft brick just flash the Original stock ROM tru Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Metconnect2000:
Is ota still working after cross-flash?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
yes and it should work no problems. i have it disabled on mine
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] duh1:
Just a tad confused, hoping to clear it up. The USC FW had no bloatware at all, or the same Google bloatware that all these seem to include?

So what is the actual difference between XAA and USC? What does reverting the CSC mean - the XAA reverts to what brand, while the USC stays USC branded, or neither is branded? I thought XAA is unbranded multi-CSC and uses the SIM to determine what CSC to load, while USC should keep that CSC, but maybe you have a better understanding.

Anyone know the difference between XAA and XAS as well, not quite sure about that either...
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] duh1:
Are you sure about the SIM unlock? Yes the bootloader remains locked, but with SIM unlocked firmware, I've read that at least for earlier versions, that unlocked the SIM lock, but that could have been fixed at some point...
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
USC is from USA unbranded... same as XAA but USC being the newer "CSC".

Flashing USC wont limit your modem, and ETC.

XAS doest not even appear on our folders.

Reverting the CSC means going back to whatever you had it in the FIRST PLACE probably TMB.

Hope that answers your questions.

Edit. Google Bloatware will come on all BRANDED/ UNBRANDED FW
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] duh1:
Didn't I see from post #16 in this thread that USC is branded as US Cellular. Isn't it possible that you retained that as your CSC, and XAA is multi-CSC, so that firmware's CSC will show whatever SIM was last installed (reverting to that as you mentioned). Perhaps T-Mobile visual voicemail and other features won't work under USC, but will be functional under XAA, without the T-Mobile bloatware included with the original TMB branded firmware.

Can anyone confirm the U1 XAA firmware removes the SIM lock or not? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
USC is unbranded unlocked atleast google says so and i have no modem limitations.

My CSC is XAA so... but i flashed USC FW

All tmobile features CAN work on any CSC... its all about editing the cscfeature.xml and featurenetwork.xml

I got VOLTE , Native Video Calling, and more on XAA
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] financeledger:
The U1 i believe wont remove the SIM Lock, The U will

I have a treo 750. Its used and I don't know what the guy before me tried to do with it, but it looks like all he did was install the official WM5 to WM6 update. My problem now (and part of the reason he sold it) is that there seems to be some serious screen corruption. I'm inclined to think there may be a driver issue? I cant even see the bootscreen. All I can see are a couple of vertical and horizontal bars (mostly around the top) with a multicolor spectrum. The rest of the screen is blank. Hard-reset, soft-reset, neither works to fix it. Oddly, if I access the device through MyMobiler and regedit/change to font to something that it hasn't used before (ex. calibri, arial) it seems to bring it back to life... still no boot screen, but the os will work fine. If I put it in standby mode and then try and bring it back on, I'm back to the corrupt screen. At the moment I've turned off the power-idle feature and just let it go to backlight off while leaving the device on all the time, but I cant leave it like that forever. Any thoughts? Am I able to update the display driver or something?

PS. Display works on my PC through MyMobiler with no problem.

Thanks in advance.
[Palm Treo 750] wstocker:
having exact same problem

I am having the exact same problem. The only way to avoid the display corruption seems, like you said, to avoid putting the phone in standby mode... but then leaving it like that all day will drain the battery very fast, obviously.

I'm curious as to what the cause is. My phone is out of warranty already. Purchased summer 2007.

[Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+] pranay60:
Mi 11x pro uses a ultrasound chip for the proximity sensor and this works combined with other sensors like the gyro. So when you put the earpiece to your ear it detects an orientation change and switches the display off. I'm currently on indian miui v12.5.2 and don't face the issue you mention. Slow movements are known to confuse the phone. Other than that the screen shouldn't switch off after initiating the call unless you change its orientation. Testing apps work with orientation change.
