[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
I guess I'll have to manually update my phone to the latest firmware.

I did have OTA's twice.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
Nobody know.. That's strange, never had any issue with S21+ and before. But it seems to be problematic (for OTA) since S21Fe and more.

Just to be sure, did you get any previous OTA before these last two ones (with CSC modified) ? Or never since the switch ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
When I got the phone, there was already an OTA, but I didn't get it.

So I flashed with Odin. After that I had 2 OTA's, one 3 days after the people who get it immediately and May OTA I had the same day. But no OTA now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
You use "Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD" ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
So.. you never modified your CSC with Samkey if I understand ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
I used it, before I had EUX/-/EUX/TNL and after Samkey, still the same EUX/-/EUX/TNL
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
And did you stop getting OTA before or after Samkey ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
Yes, because I used samkey in March and got the May update in May.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
I get failed immediately when I try to flash with Odin.. usb debugging is enabled. Using home_csc

SW rev check failed device 0x2 binary 0x1

Maybe I found the problem, with Frija I got U1 firmware and with SamFirm I get U2 firmware..

Do I need to unlock bootloader, to flash firmware with Odin? @Hoekkiepa
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
Ok thank you, i guess there is some hope if you get an OTA after Samkey. Or maybe they've been blocked by Samsung since May update..

Ps : Right. You can't flash(/downgrade) a X1 on a X2 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Super-Veloce:
Tried several Odins and suddenly could not boot anymore, something went wrong with updating firmware.

Than I flashed all the latest firmware files with normal csc file, it wiped data, but I'm on latest U2 AVF1 firmware now.

With home_csc Odin failed to flash after 2sec
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
I had OTA's before the Samkey change... The problem is clearly related to this procedure.

I think we still receive OTA's but not at the time of the unbranded release (EUX) but still at the time of the branded release (MEO, SFR, others)
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
It could be a good theory.

But (tell me if i'm wrong on my understanding of the subject) there is a lot of branded phone which are by default on EUX active CSC/Firmware, and which depend of the EUX canal for their OTAs.

(example : Orange in France, which are by default on EUX/-/EUX/FTM. FTM dont have specific CSC neither firmware).

Some users of these branded/EUX S22 are in the same case than us after they have changed their CSC.

So I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] ionone:
I changed my CSC through Samkey to SEK from SFR and I received the S908BXXS2AVDB update as soon as I changed the CSC. This update is not available for SFR yet : https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-S908B/SFR/doc.html

The june updates are not available for SEK yet but I'll let you know if I'm receiving it when it release.

Maybe it's only for EUX that the OTA's are not working with Samkey ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
Thank you for this good news, once again, there is hope.

I've seen an owner of an unbranded S22U that still haven't received his EUX June updates too.

And for me, even SmartSwitch never notified me for these updates (usually it should, OTA "enabled" or not).

Maybe EUX is used like a beta-test, OTA's are pushed by waves, first to a small amount of devices.

The list of versions which can be upgraded, is changing everytime since the launch of June updates. So.. it could make sense

Here is the list (you can check for other CSC/Devices, you just have to edit URL) :

https://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/EUX/SM-S908B/version.xml
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
SFR released today the AVF1 did you get something?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
I finally manually updated my phone via Odin yesterday and i can't flash a previous firmware to tell you if (there is no "bootloader 2" SFR firmware)..

Souldn't be long for MEO.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
Hello,

MEO AVF1 is live, so what about you ? OTA or still nothing ?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
Nothing mate.. Very strange. Already contacted Samkey and they say it's not related to them but Idk
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
That was sure for the OTA.. But still good to have news from Samkey.

It could interessting to try another CSC and/or to revert back to the original one to see if it help for next update. I don't know..

I would like to try to restore firmware from SmartSwitch too, but even that is not possible..

There is litteraly no way to officialy restore a firmware from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
https://xdaforums.com/t/changing-cs...-multi-csc-codes.4436853/page-2#post-87030343

check the last answers. maybe there is a solution..
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
I already changed ISO on my phone too, but it doesn't changed anything about OTA's.

I've tried to flash the previous AVEH today, with differents settings (flash with/without sim, change sim slot, things like that), for once again, no results.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] jelbo:
The Country Select activity gave you a choice to change ISO? Mine is empty. S22 (EUX>SEK) on AVEH, waiting for AVF1.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
Yes i get a list with many countries. I was on EUX AVDB firmware (EUX) with EUX (from SFR) CSC when I did it. Maybe SEK firmware contains only 1 country, you should try to flash an EUX ROM and try to change ISO again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] jelbo:
I couldn't wait and flashed AVF1 EUX and the Country Select activity still is empty. We'll see how the next update will go.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] allanbds:
ISO list is linked with firmware, it can contains only one or more ISO. SFR frimware only have France ISO as it is destined to France only. It may be the same for SEK. EUX got a lot of ISO's as it is a firmware for all unbranded phones in Europe. So if SEK don't have more than 1 ISO, it will always be like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] jelbo:
Yeah, it looks like that. Although having and flashing a Multi CSC (OXM) firmware on my (changed to) SEK CSC device limits my ISO choice to 'null', meaning UA (Ukrainian).

My

sales code = SEK(true) / country iso = UA(null)

proves it to me, as in my unchanged Dutch S10 the country iso is NL(null) and it also does not offer me choices starting the CountrySelectionActivity activity.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
I was digging in alliance shield app and there is an app called "CSC" if you search. there you can prompt "CSC verifier" and there is some information with the "FOTA" word being there in some strings but I really don't know if it can be helpful...
[Samsung Galaxy S22] boomdox:
So when my partner first got her z flip 3 phone, her csc's were eux/-/eux/vod, when she first put her sim into the phone (esim) everything was working correctly and she received a carrier update, and now receives ota's as and when they are available. when I received my fold 3, my csc's were o2u/o2u/o2u/o2u and I was sick of getting the o2 bloatware every time I changed sims. so I changed my csc with Samkey and my csc ended up with eux/-/eux/o2u, the same as my partners phone. so as far as I can cant tell now, our phones are setup identically, and I also received a carrier update too. if its now done on the activated id, and that's why phones changed with Samkey are not getting ota's, why does my partners z flip 3 still receive ota's? when her activated id is also different. the only difference being, she didn't change anything from Samkey, this is how hers arrived, and I'm assuming when she inserted her sim, it change the last part of the csc to VOD when the carrier update arrived. most phones when they are factory unbranded, arrive with eux/-/eux/eux until they receive a carrier update and then the last changes to vod (in her case anyway) so its either something in the process that samkey does, or its the activated id but then why does my partner phone still receive ota's ?.

the only thing I haven't checked with my partners phone is the time between release date of the official firmware and ota's going live and when she actually receives the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] boomdox:
regards the language and shows up as null. when my csc was set to o2u, it would show as null and wouldnt let me chnage the language and shows only english, when my csc is set to eux, it says GB and gives me full access to change the language to whatever
[Samsung Galaxy S22] boomdox:
I also found the cidmanager APK which says how the updates work ?.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
yeah. I thought about that, many users have different AID from factory so maybe it's not that...

One thing is sure(I guess :D), this only happens when you change from branded carrier firmware tu unbranded.

However we still don't have the attention of the guys we really understand about this, because most people change CSC from unbranded to branded or between branded ones to get more features, so until then will be hard to discover the root cause of OTA's not arriving.

That app, CID manager, could be interesting to look up but in Alliance Shield it's not possible to trigger any configuration
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Nhyxz:
So can I flash branded back after I flashed Unbranded to get OTA back ? and can I do it with HOME CSC to not wipe or i need to just use CSC and wipe, this worth a try?

Edit : so yea i did go back to EVR and got my OTA back instatly and the SamFw tool works good no need to waste money on samkey so yeah not gonna play around with this anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S22] tsilva30:
yeah, also did that change. I tried EUX to BTE just to see if OTA arrive and it did.

Very weird, I'm clueless why unbranded firmwares can't get to the OTA server :/

[Samsung Galaxy S22] nickbarbs:
Hi guys

I was sold an EVR s23ultra phone on ebay (uk branded) which blocks WiFi calling from other carriers and also doesn't show differences for 4g/4g+ which is annoying.

It's OXM, I tried flashing EUX over it and using samfw and experienced the no ota issue.

I've set the CSC to SFR and WiFi calling seems to work, other things look good for me too. If I'm understanding this right going from EVR (branded) to SFR (branded) in the OXM multi csc should let me keep Ota?

Cheers

Hi, the only option is to take this blocking by Samsung to court. I also have this problem on my S22 with oprator branding.
[Magisk] JuanLv:
Vivo IOQQ can be unlocked bootloader a few days ago，

And I unlock my IQOO (1824A).

I installed magisk on it, found the rom has no ramdisk ‎partition.

So I tried patched the recovery.img and flash the patched file successed.

But I found that the phone has no directly way to boot to recovery mode.

The only way to boot to recovery is press 'power + vol up' to boot into fastboot mode,

then select the 'boot to recovery' button in the fastboot page.

So I can't boot into the system with magisk enabled as blow.

Is there any other way in this situation?

Hope for your help， thanks.

Guess who is the craziest person on the planet earth? this is me! So, in short, I wanted to change the font to my custom one. I changed it in the /system/fonts/ folder and there was a file: roboto-regular.ttf In short, I changed this file to another file with the same name, and immediately rebooted the phone, and I started an endless system boot animation (lineage os ) I need your help.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Popletenec:
Reflash the rom, just like you would update it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] icodix:
if you use custom rom like aosp it's so simple to change it. It's under the font settings and you can select what font you will use unlike miui that you need to download the font then apply.

I bought my phone from Verizon and OEM Unlock is grayed out. Is there a method to make this active? Do I need to switch carriers? Do I call Verizon and ask for something specific? Am I screwed? From what I've read, I feel like I'm screwed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Unfortunately, you are, as you put it, screwed. ☹️
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] davidmoore:
So if purchased though Verizon, they lock it and throw away the key? What it i changed carriers? Even changed to Google Fi? There's nothing that can be done?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
There's nothing that can be done if you purchased a Verizon model except return it if you can and get an unlocked/non-Verizon model.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] davidmoore:
Okay, thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
Huh, I hadn't thought of that, switching carriers and getting unlocked. I'm taking my family to T-Mobile this weekend. I just cannot afford Verizon anymore in this economy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Mustang46L:
I had a phone unlocked previously (going from T-Mo to Verizon) and it required the device to be paid off and then a phone call to the carrier before the option was available. I'd recommend a quick call/chat with Verizon, I'm pretty sure there is no reason you can't unlock the device as long as it is paid off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Verizon does not link their SIM unlocks to OEM unlocks. There is no conversation to have with them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What @LLStarks said. Verizon devices simply cannot be bootloader unlocked.

Hello guys,

I have poco x3pro and it is running Lineag os 18. Now i have an app called HDFC netbanking but while installing it shows "app does not support rooted device". i have learnt that with Magisk app i can buy pass it. so, how can i do that ? do i have to flash again? yours suggestions are welcomed.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
Did you root with magisk?

If old version

https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-magisk-hide-5610/
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Popletenec:
In Magisk settings, enable Zygisk and Enforce denylist, restart device, go to magisk settings again > configure denylist and check apps you want to hide from root.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Dezun:
No i flash with Twrp
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] samsungics1200:
This is the answer

ok.. but do ihave to flash magisk ?

i have installed app but in magisk app setting i cant see the option mentioned.

https://xdaforums.com/t/comdirect-phototan-app-detecting-root.4274825/page-22

here is a lengthy thread with another bank, where you can find many many suggestions on how to fix the problem.

i am having x3pro myself using the app mentioned there, but not using LOS18 A11 but Miui A12

with the newer magisk versions

- denylist active

- maybe try shamiko module (denylist enforce off)

- maybe try without shamiko (denylist enforce on)

- maybe magiskhide props config module

- universal safetynet fix

- magisk package renamed

- make sure to enable all options on your denylist application selection to hide all processes

- the application might get root info from google play services (GMS) or play store, where you should also delete cache after making changes and rebooting to see if your change does take effect.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] samsungics1200:
you need to install the latest version of magisk app and flashable zip suitabe for your android version magisk 23 is for android 11 while magisk 24 is compatible upto latest but flash latest fpr maximum compatibility

Why don't you try ih8sn since you are on LineageOS.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbobeckyj:
I've just posted the following in the mortscript examples thread, and I thought some of you might find it usefull. It requires mortscript for which a link is in my signature:

Here is a script which uses the Diamond's g-sensor, to lock and unlock based on the Device orientation.

A brief explanation/history/reason-

I tend to hold my phone in portrait mode when I'm using it (as I suspect most people do). When I've finished with it it ends up in my pocket upside-down or reverse portrait, I just kinda swing my arm down. It always ends up like that, so I wrote a script to lock it while while its upside-down, and unlock it only when it returns to portrait, and repeat.

It also means you can be lazy as don't need to power it off when putting it away, the lock has that setting built in if you want to use it, or you can add a poweroff line to the script.

It does not matter what the screen orientation is, only what the device orientation is.

It utilises Armstrom's Device lock but can easily be re-configured to use another.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] kannaiah:
Hi,

Today there was software update notification which is 2.5GB, my phone does not have that space so I'm sure I did not go for the update.

My phone is constantly rebooting.

What I tried,

- Pressed Power + Vol down button, I see fastboot screen but that stays only for 2-3 seconds and goes to boot loop

- Power + Vol up button, now boot loop shows Reboot, Wipe Data, Connect with MIAssistant for 1 sec and reboots to show same options, I can't select Reboot or MIAssistant option it just reboots.

How can I fix this without losing data? I have some 2FA authentication with Google Authy which is essential and cannot lose.

Please help

Thank you.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] jtripeca:
My wife's phone was tracking dinner delivery and right after delivered, phone started rebooting, I can't find any similar issue before June 22 on Google, probably some update bricked some phones?

I bought us 2 poco x3 nfc in December 2020 and so far I was super happy and not feeling like I had to upgrade...

I doubt it's going to help but now I'm waiting it to run out of battery completely to try to do a complete fresh start.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] jtripeca:
Well... Turns out it worked. It was looping even when it ran out of battery, you can see by the led on the call speaker. Some hours later there was no sign of battery so I plugged the charger, still no response of any key or keys but after 30/45mins, suddenly phone woke up with 65% battery and booted up normally.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Username20000:

Having this issue too, it's like something is pushing down the power button/fingerprint sensor.

Bootloops then anytime eyou touch the sensor it goes straight to the shutdown restart screen or just reboots the phone, Any suggestion before i give in and order a pixel 6

solution to this problem is the power bottom sensor which is shorted..

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Someone_anyone:
Hi.

Yesterday I had the same problem, the device kept restarting every 10 seconds, it didn't even come to any screen besides the first one with the POCO logo in yellow.

Things I tried that did NOT work:

restart

hard restart

fastboot (it did enter the fastboot mode, but only showing the picture of the 2 robots and after 10 seconds restarting again to the POCO logo image)

plug it to power

plug it to computer

After 3 hours of continuous restarting and trying anything I could find in the internet and I could imagine of (except extracting the battery because it seemed complicated and difficult to revert), I tried randomly something that miraculously worked...don't ask me why.

pressing the power button shortly and quickly around 30 times (it might have worked after 10 or 20 times, but I just kept doing it a little longer :)

Afterwards it just started as if nothing had happened...doesn't make any sense, but I just wanted to tell you in case you are in a similar situation and desperate to not lose all the images and videos as I was yesterday.
