[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Justaquestion2:
but using odin is safe for a future updates? it wont block me from future updates like rooting does?

contacts are stored in the sim card so that not a problem. call logs doesnt mind me to lose such as SMS.

pictures\videos - i can move to my laptop and then move it back to my phone.

apps - ill just download them again. not a big of a deal.

sorry for the dumb questions im just a rookie when it come to all of these firmware changes via 3rd party kind of things.

its been a week already tbh.

ill give u a walk through:

120hz always on, AOD, WIFI+DATA always on. all of these since day 1.

- pre update - my battery dropped 7%-10% per hour of reddit\browsing\youtube\multitasking for my work.

- post update - 25% per hour on these very same tasks.

- pre update - not a single drop of % over night.

- post update - 3-5% drop over night.

- pre update - only charged it once a day - over night. phone lasted me for a complete day. no matter what i did, or how i pushed this phone to the edge, the battery didnt die at all. lowest i got is to 17%.

- post update - on the very same useage as before - charge it twice a day.

- pre update - no lags, 120hz felt like 120hz, phone was buttery smooth

- post update - lags while scrolling\swiping, 120hz feels like 90hz sometimes. feels like refresh drops, like system is lagging

not from the US. phone is unlocked for every provider i want.

yeah, im a total noob when it comes to firmware changes.

i said i tried the factory reset, not the cache wipe. ill try that when ill get back home.

ive done factory reset before on my old androids, thats how i know how to do it, never did a cache wipe before. thats why i asked.

u act like im some paid actor to talk trash on android.

no need to look for "cracks" in my messages to seek for help. i aint lying to yall. i just look for help here. reddit guys guided me to this community.

thats about it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] gerhard_wa:
I stand corrected, the bootloader is still at version one on newest firmware with A52s and I am sorry for this misstatement. I still stand by my advice to OP about rather fixing the problems by factory reset and one by one installation of apps and games.

Since no one I know or have talked to has had any problems with Android12 on the A52s, rather on the contrary the phone has become better, I think that the OPs problem has nothing to do with the new firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Justaquestion2:
well then i might havent noticed the cache wipe option over there for some reason. ill take a look again.

i'll take your advice and try both of them one after another just to make sure.

btw, as for an expert like you, does this looks valid to you?

is this the procedure you were talking about with odin?

if it does, any idea where can i get the files my model (SM-A528B\DS) needs?

is this the advice you were talking about?

:

"With a new major Android version, there is a new bootloader. A11 to A12 is a major update, so no going back. As to the OPs problem, you will soon find out what app, game or setting is causing your problem if you do your detective work. Factory reset and installation of apps and games one at a time. Some apps and games are not compatible with A12 yet."

- - - -

because if so, i already did a factory reset and downloaded all of the apps once again. nothing has changed.

even the SOT section where u can see which app took how many %, doesnt give me an answer.

meaning - if i lost 25% for example (85 to 60), and i go to the SOT section to see which app drained my battery, when combining all the app's % drain, i cant even get to 25%. its like some % doesnt even occur there.

the only apps i use are : reddit,brave,youtube vanced, banking app,telegram, twitter and some work apps. thats about it.

games - only codm once every 2-3 days for like 30min.

"I think that the OPs problem has nothing to do with the new firmware." - i understand your saying.

but, everything stayed the same before and after the update. same apps, same usage, nothing new installed, nothing new a been downloaded, changed nothing at all overall. just updated to android 12 oneui 4 with january security patch.. thats about it.

thanks in advanced for everyone who tried to help and specifically those who keeps on replying with ideas that might help. i appreciate yall.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] ashraftheboss:
Look, I won't smash you over complicated stuff. It is either easy or difficult, depending on many factors which are all within checkable distance.

The bootloader thing - I had a J7 Pro and when it got the OneUI 1 upgrade, it got an updated bootloader which, as stated in the update, wouldn't let you downgrade to a lower version of Android, and people who tried bricked their devices.

Now, if the bootloader stayed the same, as stated by another user, you could use Odin to either downgrade to 11, or do a clean install of 12. Since your phone has a problem, I'd recommend clean installing 12. It is easier.

However, if you want to go the hard way, and probably less intrusive way, I'd recommend installing Accubattery from the play store and letting it observe background usage for a while. It'll give you a more detailed run down of what could be causing problem, if the root of the problem is to do with an app at all.

I personally would clean install 12 with Odin again just to make sure everything sets up properly this time, bearing in mind that I'll lose all my data and will have to remember my google account info as FRP will be active. I don't like clearing cache and all these recovery mode things as I like a system to be untouched in anyway possible. It isn't normal for a phone to break down after an update but isn't impossible either.

I'd also like to know what you have already tried.

Don't hesitate if you have any question, but be sure to quote or tag me so that I know.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] ashraftheboss:
And a follow up post just to clear some doubts, SOFTWARE UPDATES CAN BREAK THINGS. Though not normal, it can happen. I had a J2 2015 come out of the box with broken software. It happens, and no matter how many times you'll reset your phone, that break or corruption will still be there. It is very very rare, but not impossible.

Odin is the most official way of flashing a Samsung phone. It doesn't break anything if done correctly, emphasis on the "done correctly" part. You'll have to chose the proper firmware package for your phone and have everything set up properly in terms of drivers and software. Odin and drivers are downloaded from Sammobile and firmware is dowloaded using Frija, which uses official sources free of any charge or speed throttling, unlike Sammobile. It ain't rocket science but it should be properly done. Watch some videos and get yourself familiar with the whole process before attempting it.

There is no right or wrong way of going through this. Multiple ways exist, some easier and some harder, some less invasive and some more invasive. I won't be adamant on doing this the ONE way only. How we go about this adapts to what you're facing.

That's all!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Journyman16:
Odin emulates the same process as the OTA (OverTheAir) updates - just make SURE you have the right firmware. I use Sammobile - join for free to dowload or pay a subscription for fast DL's, but unless you're constantly wanting firmware the freebie is fine.

Also, there are 2 CSC files when you unpack the compressed archive, the one starting as CSC will do a bare metal flash of the firmware; the one starting HOME_CSC will keep your settings etc and just update the system, modem etc.

Read thoroughly so you understand what you are doing.

DON'T mess with the various options unless you graduate to Expert - they can brick your phone.

Backup your data anyway, just in case. You never know - e.g. what if a power failure takes out your PC mid-flash? You want all bases covered.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Journyman16:
Perhaps you should be more clear then. It certainly LOOKED like it was about me and I'm not particularly egotistical. You replied to me and then threw in random comments about liars and noobs?

Yeah... right...

Given the context it's either me or the OP and I must admit I did assume you wouldn't be so rude to a new guy. Looks like I was wrong. My bad.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Journyman16:
I don't know if you optimised your phone when you got it but check all the settings. Drain overnight when it didn't happen before kinda implies something got reset/turned on with the update.

I've had that a few times because I often seem to have unusual settings for my phone - along comes the update with 'standard' settings and I have to go find what I had and restore them.

Look for things like battery settings, what apps can be put into battery optimise.

There are apps you can DL from Play that will tell you what is using your battery. Been a while since I used one so I don't know what the latest is but I used to have AccuBattery which told me what I needed and gave more info than the [Battery] option in [Settings]
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] gerhard_wa:
You also need to stop automatic restore of backup from your Google account. I have seen users getting repeated problems after factory reset if they agree to restore backups from the Google account. If you have problems, you must resist the tempting advice to restore any backups both from Samsung’s backup apps, Google backup or any other backup.

Test the phone immediately after reset to see if problems persist. Apps must be installed one at a time and you must test the phone after each installation. If the problem is present already after a reset and a clean boot without any backups restored or any settings altered, you should try to download the complete firmware and reflash it with Odin. This is done at your own risk.

Going back to A11/UI3 is no real solution to your problem if none of the above works. Then chances are that there is something at fault with your phone and that this will come back and bite you later.

In this case you need to go back to the seller and claim repair or replace under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] ashraftheboss:
Best reply so far. Go for this!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] koimr:
Give it a few days. I've found that Android "settles down" after a factory reset - re-learning adaptive settings, calibrating battery, apps re-caching, etc.

At least that's what I've been told and I've no reason to dispute it. :)

Just bear with it - in the end I found A12 a bit smoother than 11.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] ashraftheboss:
The user above pretty much said everything about the flashing process.

Watch this too:

A very similar video to the above one but I'll link it anyways.

To download Firmware, I personally use Frija, google it and you'll find it here: https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-checker.3910594/

You'll need your exact model number which is found in the "About phone" right at the bottom of the Settings app. Its gonna be something like SM-A52XX. Next is your CSC, which can be found in the "Software information" tab in the "About phone" section itself. It is usually under the "Service provider software version" where you'll see a 3 letter code like XFE or LUX or BRI. When you have those, enter the model number into the Model tab of Frija and the CSC in the CSC tab of Frija. Before pressing the Check Update button in Frija, Press the 3-dots in the top right corner of Frija and go into the Settings tab, then turn on Binary Nature if it is not already on. Then Check Update and it will get the correct firmware for you if you've put everything in correctly.

Then you can get Odin and the required drivers from the links above.

Everything else have been shown in the videos linked. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us!

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] rootkitty:
Just installed LoS18.1 KLTE - thanks to the devs for such a great product. I installed a packet capture and I'm very pleased at how quiet the phone is.

Most of the time I carry my phone with the phone active, but cell data, bluetooth, and wifi off to improve battery life and reduce the amount of digital exhaust that I'm leaving behind.

Can anyone tell me the impact on network traffic when Send and receive when mobile data is off" is activated.

Does this result in a lot of extra ping packet being sent, or does it only come into play when an MMS message is sent/received?

Any input would be much appreciated.

Hello,

If anyone stuck on 10.1.3.52 you can update to 11.0.4.20 from iOS device.

Just connect to proxy (in wi-fi settings) 52.15.244.171:3128

login: 4pda

password: 4pda

Then tap update button in huawei health, you'll get update notification, disconnect from proxy (1mbps limitation, sorry) and press "Update"

Be sure that watches have more than 30% of battery, coz update will burn around 17-25%

GL

Also can update on rooted android
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
Any errors?

Somtimes not working on ios lower than 12
[Other SmartWatches] Riddick99999:
Server error
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
Also you can do it with Charles:

- Download Charles https://www.charlesproxy.com/

- Open Help-SSL Proxying-Install Charles Root Certificate

- Then in iPhone wi-fi settings enter proxy with your pc local ip and port 8888

- In Charles press Tools->Rewrite->Import

-And choose 11.0.4.20.xml im attached

Now you need to press update button in Health

It's working method, i've got many positive feedback

[Other SmartWatches] Jlmend1310:
I am having some problems, even though i do all the steps on charles the Health app says that there is no updates available. Could you please help me with some pictures of every step so i could check if i am doing something wrong, sorry if my english is not good enough, hope you can understand me.
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
Sure

Charles config:

Hi everyone,

is there any possibility to download this update for the non-rooted android smartphone (S21 Ultra)?
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
Non-rooted still no way. Health apk must be patched for ssl unpinning, I can’t build patched version, maybe someone will do
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
Really a pity.

This is a great Smartwatch but Honor/Huawei since they split up have abandoned it.

Unfortunately I do not have the Root on my Android, I hope that someone can make a version of Heath Mod For updates!

This watch no longer receives 1 update for a year!

Another idea would be a custom rom! With Emoji etc

I would also open a Telegram channel with this topic of yours.
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
I just tried following (well) the guide for Android with Charles (proxy tel is ok perfect, the program recognizes the connected phone), when I open Health does not find any update. The operation was carried out to perfection, double-checked everything several times. Not working View attachment 5536735
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
@LokotoAI But this file (fw with apk extension?) Kanon_mcu_bt_dsp_app_11.0.4.20.bin.apk

What should we do with this file?
[Other SmartWatches] Nectu05:
hello I have an iphone with ios 15, I have tried to do the steps, but the update does not appear in huawei health, if you would be so kind and put the most detailed step by step to try to update my honor gs pro to 11.0.4.20. I apologize for my bad English
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
Encrypted binary fw, idk why .apk, nothing interesting inside
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
I'm also trying again on Mac but no update appears. What do you intern for "work only frida ssl unpinning" ? can you enter an explanation for this step?
[Other SmartWatches] xhubbiex:
Could you prepare step-by-step instruction for the Android rooted devices?

I did everything as suggested, but I still have no update available.

What I did was:

1. Installed the Charles app.

2. Configured it as suggested.

3. Configured proxy for my Wi-Fi network – laptop recognized the attempt of connection.

4. Turned on the newest version of health app and checked for the update.

5. Got back message that I have the newest version.

Why would I need the root for these steps (I think could do the same steps for the phone without root)? Is there any specific version of health app that I should be using? What is your region?
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
Quiet does not work. I tried with Android (with and without Root does not change anything) I also tried Charles on both Windows and MacBook the phone is recognized correctly by Charles (correctly changing the proxy with IP of the pc and port 8888).
[Other SmartWatches] oNiW_R1:
Does this software really exist or is it fake?
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
As I said - Android has ssl pinning, it’s not the reason to call it fake

For other people - you can download this modded apk and update watches directly without any movements

After update - install non-modded health app back

HuaweiHealth+v.12.1.1.320+[GetFirmware].apk

drive.google.com
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
Yes I also found the apk on the net (only for version 11.0.4.6).

I wanted to say that it does not work if you do not have an iPhone because I tried with Android (with Root and without Root) with the Charles procedure but nothing did not work. The Charles procedure is required for version 11.0.4.20.

That's all, thank you
[Other SmartWatches] LokotoAI:
Idk why iOS didn’t force ssl check, but there is only one way to get last update

Also thx Inquizitor for building my patches into apk that you found, I sent him instructions for 11.0.4.20, wait for updates
[Other SmartWatches] donatod87:
Ok thank you very much friend. If you can share future apks in this topic it would be useful to everyone.
[Other SmartWatches] Nectu05:
Hello friend, these are the steps I followed to try to update my honor watch gs pro:

1. download the modified huawei health app that you shared

2. install it on an android device, with root and without root

3. I hit the update button on the app.

I couldn't install the update, I only have to try with an iphone device.

If I need a step for which I could not install the update, would you be so kind to help me to update
[Other SmartWatches] danilomt:
Finally i was able to install 11.0.4.20 on my gs pro with android and not root required.

- uninstall health in your phone

- make sure you uninstall HMS Core (go to settings>app>hmscore>uninstall)

- install this modded version of the app link tnx to Canal Recreativos (telegram)

- disconnect gs pro from BT and try to connect in the app (sometimes you need to try more and more till is connected)

- update to 11.0.4.6

- once you have finished go to setting>app>health delete cache and close force (sometimes you need to do this multiple times to make it work)

- re-open the app and go to update if you see 11.0.4.20 do it otherwise go back and force close

i hope it works for you.
[Other SmartWatches] Nectu05:
I will try and tell you
[Other SmartWatches] divocak.lfc:
Its is working for me now.

I must many times force close and clean cache. But after maybe 20 attempts its working.

Now i have 11.0.4.20.

Many thans
[Other SmartWatches] danilomt:
I' m happy to ear that.

Yes it dipends on how the app recognize the firmware version of the watch.

for me, i was lucky, it goes on the first attempt.

sometimes also turning on and off the BT,will help .

The only way we find to upgrade the firmware was by using an older version of the Health app.

we find out also some error on upgrading to 11.0.4.20 . The smartwatch sometimes randomly reboot in the middle of the transfer but this will not broke in any way the Gs Pro.

If this happens you just need to disconnect the watch and repeat the last 2 steps.
[Other SmartWatches] Nectu05:
dont working for me
[Other SmartWatches] danilomt:
what phone are you using? this modded app is not working for huawei, and some samsung.

Go to setting, app, permission, give the app all the permission you can.

Remember also to remove the HMS core app e try to restart the phone after installing the app.

on the smartwatch go to settings, info a tell me the actual version of the firmware you are using
[Other SmartWatches] danilomt:
U need to update to 10.1.3.52 from standard Health app before doing the update to 11.0........

You forgot to do the standard update from the original app
[Other SmartWatches] oNiW_R1:
hello, I was able to update the watch to version 11.0.4.6 and I am not able to do another update.
[Other SmartWatches] oNiW_R1:
However, after several attempts to connect, the update showed up and was installed. Many thanks that there is still some support for this hardware because it's a really nice watch.
[Other SmartWatches] Riddick99999:
Thanks your so múch. It works for me 😍👌
