Does the Xcover 6 Pro benefit from have installed TWRP as safety before rooting?

Because I only found TWRP for Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3, and a tutorial on how to root Xcover6 Pro SM-G736B using Magisk (without TWRP). On my previous device it was highly advised to install TWRP as a brick protection.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroderp:
tedious for the ABLE impossible for the less comprehensive

that is why most devices are no longer being rooted.

haching into partitions and patching wildly variable always different requirements

this just aint the same as back in the day when towlroot ruled the world

those were such simple times

vol + and power while plugged in?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekall:
no: while the phone is off, press vol. up and vol. down, maintain them and plug the usb cable into it. Then the phone will boot up and go into boot menu.

No TWRP for the phone to my knowledge and probably no chance to have one. I made the magisk procedure several times without problem, for information.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucids:
Yes just done this and it's working.

The phone came as an SM-G736BZKDEEE even though I ordered the SM-G736BZKDEEB. I think that's classed as the Enterprise edition. Not sure what the difference is though. The CSC on it was EUX.

Device information

Model : SM-G736B

Brand : samsung

Device name : xcoverpro2

Product name : xcoverpro2eea

Product code : SM-G736BZKDEUX

CSC code : EUX

It came new sealed as Android 13 with Nov 2023 firmware SM-G736B_EUX_G736BXXS5CWK1.

The compatible CSCs were :

CAU - Georgia

EUX - European Union

EUY - European Union

MSR - Serbia

SKZ - Kazakhstan

TOP - Serbia

None of which worked to enable call recording. You would need to flash the full XSG firmware with ODIN or if you get the same firmware version as already installed just flash the CSC on its own (for the same firmware version) all from samfw site in this example:

CSC_OJM_G736BOJM5CWI2_MQB70619952_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT

This has CSCs:

EGY - Egypt

ILO - Israel

ILP - Lebanon

KSA - Saudi Arabia

MID - Iraq

MWD - Morocco

TUR - Turkey

XFA - South Africa

XSG - United Arab Emirates

ILO has call recording working as may EGY (not tested). Also the THL Thailand firmware may also work with a THL CSC.

After flashing the phone resets and the CSC defaults to XSG.

You'd then need to re-enable developer mode then debugging and use SamFw_FRP_Tool to change the CSC to ILO (working) or maybe EGY.

Then factory reset the phone again. I didnt at 1st and had some odd wifi issues in that the phone connected but had no internet.

The product code remains as SM-G736BZKDXSG even after altering the CSC. And there was no problem with using a UK sim card.

There is also now a download of Android 14 available. Also the release of the Xcover 7 (SM-G556BZKDEEB) is imminent hence the price of these has dropped to around £350 on Amazon uk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpcpro:
@lucids thank you for the feedback. Regarding the versions, I know that some devices are made for the German market (EEB) and others are made for the eastern European and Swiss/Austrian markets (EEE). Mine came with Android 12 from the Samsung store.

I've decided to flash it with a firmware containing THL, because it supports Call recording and Spam protection. India CSC is not available for this model, so it is never possible to have Call rec. and S-Pay at the same time. I had to give that up. Either way, this XCover 6 Pro does not have the chip emulate MST/magnetic stripes so it doesn't matter to use Google wallet or S-Pay.

Call recording works fine and the phone in general is also fine. I did notice the home page of the phone browser was Samsung Thailand.

After the update to Android 14 I find it slower, especially on boot. Memory usage seemed to increase with Android 14. The XCover 7 is expected to be less performant that the XCover 6 Pro.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucids:
@arpcpro

Thanks for the reply and info on Android 14. Just debating whether to update.

i had read that once the CSC was changed the OTA firmware no longer works. I wonder if the security patches also cease? Good to hear the THL is working. The ILO also has spam protection from Hiya. I'd already tested it on an A03 that I changed the CSC without a firmware flash. It was sold new as a UK version but was actually Afghanistan of all places. The OTA had worked fine before the CSC change though. I'm wondering if chabging the CSC back would return OTA updates..hmm
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpcpro:
I've also read that OTA updates would not work. But on the XCover 6 Pro that I flashed with this Asia Pacific region firmware, the OTA updates worked fine. The firmware I flashed was Android 13 with OneUI5.x. On late December I went to "Settings - Software update -Download and install" and it received Android 14 with OneUI 6.0. They are working and I will get the update when Thailand gets it. It might have a few days of delay in case that the update is launched first for other regions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanHorton:
You're right that rooting and installing a custom ROM could be the way to regain that functionality. It's often the go-to solution when the manufacturer's stock ROM doesn't meet your needs. However, it does seem like there's a lack of information or results for un-Samsung'd ROMs for this particular device, which can be a bit discouraging.

If you decide to explore the rooting and custom ROM route, be sure to research thoroughly and follow instructions carefully to avoid any issues. And who knows, maybe someone will eventually develop a custom ROM for this phone, or more information will become available as time goes on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MargoSizemore:
It seems that holding volume up in download mode does nothing. It just still says "Downloading... Do not turn off target", and a bunch of other text I can take a picture of if needed, but I'm not sure which parts, if any, are necessary to censor.

Sorry if it's something small I'm stupidly missing, I haven't used an android phone for 10 years, at least.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MargoSizemore:
It's been a week since I got and set up the phone, and the option is still just missing from the settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucids:
I updated the Xcover 6 to Android 14 and the OTA has worked after all with the newest security patch.

Now restoring data from old Android 10 phone. I've restored call logs and recordings but the 2 aren't linked now. may start a new topic to get help to see if its possible to restore full functionality to access call recordings from the log as in the original phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chanceforpie:
How is your phone doing and are you in US by chance? Surprising the lack of information and rom support for this phone. I would be very interested to have one of these unlocked on Verizon network.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpcpro:
Meanwhile the Xcover 6 got OneUI 6.1. It has been working fine so far. The ROMs for the A73 5G or the A52s 5G should be compatible with the Xcover 6. Those phone are similar, so when the A73 5G gets an android update, the Xcover 6 will also get it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen25:
just bought this phone. its unlocked but knox locked it boots up to a corprate account uid and password but doesnt give any details as to what corporation or anything and no way out of it. will suck to have to return this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen25:
have you flashed your phone with these roms?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekall:
Should not happen if it's a brand new phone. Quit normal if it's a second hand phone already registered in a corporate pool :cautious: :unsure:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekall:
+1 for the question
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen25:
Yea that's the problem is it's second hand
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpcpro:
No, I have not flashed the XCover 6 with other ROMs. I am just assuming that as long as the more popular A73 5G receives updates, the XCover 6 will also get them with minor effort from Samsung.

By the way, Google Wallet stopped working and Play Store shows "device not certified" after the 1 July 2024 android update. I guess that Samsung doesn't like us changing the CSC to other regions, even without root.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Svan987:
Did you try to flash Android 11 with Odin ?

If not download the last standard "Odin3 v3.14.1" here.

Download your Android 11 firmware and decompress it.

You should get 4 files : 1 starting name with "AP", 1 starting with "BL", 1 starting with "HOME_CSC" and 1 starting with "CSC_"

Boot your tablet in download mode (from off, volume up and down at same time and plug usb cable connected on your computer) wait the blue screen to appear, then one time volume up to enter download mode.

Open Odin with admin rights and select the square for "BL" then click on "BL" and choose the file starting with "BL" from your firmware. Repeat the process for "AP" and "CSC" (for CSC choose the file starting with "CSC_" to factory reset the tablet at the same time).

Check that only the options "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset time" are checked.

Click on start and wait the flashing process end with a green pass square.

Your tablet will auto reboot and you can close Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Android Noobie:
Thank you.

So if i choose CSC_Home it will keep my data yes?

Where is the best place to get Android 11 from please?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Svan987:
Use Frija tool to download your firmware.

You can use "HOME_CSC" to keep your data but with chances to get bugs since you downgrading your firmware.

If you want to avoid the maximum of bugs you need to have TWRP recovery and format "cache" and "dalvik-cache".

If you don't have TWRP you need to be rooted to delete files present in those directories "root/data/dalvik-cache/arm/" and "root/data/dalvik-cache/arm64" and delete "cache" from stock recovery.

The best will be to backup your tablet with "Samsung Smart Switch" and when you flash to use "CSC_" to do a factory reset. A factory reset is always recommanded when you upgrade or downgrade a major android version.

A factory reset will wipe the partition "cache", "data" partition. "Dalvik-cache" will be deleted too since it is on the "data" partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Android Noobie:
Thanks mate.

Wuestion with Frija it always seems to find latest update.

How do i find version 11?

View attachment 5771271
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Svan987:
Yes you have to find a website to download the firmware.

I tested with manual settings in "Frija" it's not working. You can get only the oldest android 12 version.

You can find all historical firmwares changlog and version here. The last android 11 (XSA) is P610XXU2DUL9.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Android Noobie:
Thanks so much. I have P610XXU2DUL9 and will try today.

Question if i downgrade and then choose to upgrade later i can just get the new software and do it the same way yes?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] Svan987:
Yes you will be able to upgrade later with Odin, no problem at all.

Hello

If someone kindly can help with this

i have a cavalier .... and iam from egypt so i need Arabic support in my device ...... so anyone has any idea about how to install it ...... ??????

my device working with Windows Mobile 6 standard

ce os 5.2.1238 ( build 17745.0.2.3 )

do i have to install arabic rom ? i just want it to read and write .....

and if i need a rom where do i get it from ....... ???????????

Thank you

Ahmed, I'm from Egypt too.... (and my name is Ahmed as well).

I seemed to have found a lot of programs for arabic support for touch screen pocket pc's but not for smartphones like the cavalier, do some searches online, maybe you'll get lucky!
[HTC Cavalier] ahmed.hesham.cs:
Thanx

Hello Ahmed

Thank You For answering

yes ... i've tried many of these softwares ..... but unfortunatly none of the worked with my Cavalier

so u think i should change the rom ?????

Thanx again
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
Ahmed,

I don't know of any rom that supports Arabic for our phones. Kinda sucks.

Did you buy your phone from Vodafone Egypt (only ones that sell it here) or from overseas unlocked like I did?

Because if you bought it from Vodafone it should already support arabic.

The only other thing I can think of is if you go to the official agent for HTC here in Cairo,

JOVI-Tronics

Address: 17, el-mat’haf el-zeraey & Dr. Shahin st., Agouza

Tel: 02-37492558 / 012-2666620

They are actually very professional and may be able to help you. I know for sure they can change your board and it would have arabic, but that would be pretty expensive.

Good luck, let me know how it goes!
[HTC Cavalier] ahmed.hesham.cs:
thanx for replying

yes i bought it from vodafone Egypt

but it stil doesnt support arabic although there is arabic letter printed on the bttons itself ... thats wierd ...

the thing i noticed today is that on my phone box the Stars-Suite logo is printed on it .... stars suite is an arabizing suite ... still lookin 4 it

but maybe i should give HTC a visit so i can see wut can they do 4 me

Thank u ahmed u are realy helpful
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
I originally bought one from Vodafone, but I couldn't unlock it to work on mobinil, tried websites, abdelaziz street, everything, and no one could unlock it, so I returned it and bought it from overseas.

Definitely give JOVITronix a call or a visit, maybe they'll help!!

Take care buddy!

Hello :"Ahmed "s

I don't know anything about the look of windows, but I'd like to figure out how to change these things without using 3rd party software.
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:
IMO to make windows transparent in Windows 11 isn't possible without using 3rd-party-tools.

How to make windows transpartent by 3rd-party-tools is described here:

How to make windows transparent in Windows 11/10

You can make an app, folder or program windows completely transparent in Windows 11/10 & set the transparency level using these free tools.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] BigChungus321:
Yes, but keep your old sim with you as the moment you switched back to any miui ROM, you'll be prompt to use that sim card again for log-in. But this won't be the case if you log-out your Mi account before you switched ROM. Usually before I format data to switch ROM, I always log-out all accounts in that ROM and remove the lockscreen password just for convenience of not being reported as stolen device etc...

[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] atria:
Today I was remembered of an issue I had already faced with my harpia, it's an weird state of bootloop in which even a full firmware flash won't solve anything.

If your harpia has the following simptoms:

1. Doesn't turn on, but you notice you can access the bootloader when it's connected to a USB cable(charging, with the other end either on a computer or on a socket)(If you only connect and don't press Power + Vol - it goes into bootloop again);

2. Bootloop (when connected) - doesn't even vibrate, only shows the Motorola boot logo for some seconds (sometimes a little bit longer for some reason) but then reloads it and keeps bootlooping;

3. You can access the bootloader (when connected via USB) and flash but it keeps bootlooping;

Then you might have the same issue I had!

One could think the problem is a faulty or old battery, but it's not - SOLUTION: Change the daughterboard.

Yes. Weird, right? I don't really know what it is but some problem with the daughterboard (the little second board that has the USB port, also called 'charging board' I guess(?)) causes harpia to bootloop.

I also noticed that harpia doesn't boot at all without one of those, at least my model (XT1603.)

I'm posting this here because I saw some old posts on lenovo's forums which had the same symptoms as I found in my harpia but didn't get any help from Lenovo, aside from the good old "send it to a repair shop".

Hope it helped!
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] shutdown-h_now:
A few times I made the experience that also the USB cable could be "faulty". You can charge the phone with this cable. But you can't establish a working data connection with this cable. Sometimes it looks like it works, but it doesn't really ... you have weird behaviour. With other phones this same cable works. Or vice-versa.

Therefore it is always a good idea to have many USB cables to switch ;-)
