"Guys, I need help, I can’t update the phone, I think the problem is in the firmware, but I don’t know which firmware to change since the phone has two ZTO Brazil and EUX European Union"

I would recommend trying the latest ZTO firmware as laid out in the first post, with these settings:

Then flashing via Odin, flashing HOME_CSC to keep your data, unless you actually want to do a full reset.

Hello @Jhon333 and welcome to XDA. Prior to your next posting we ask that you review the Forum Rules, with special attention paid to Rule 4:

As a one time only courtesy, I have translated your post.

Please follow the Forum Rules from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xdauser2024:
Your phone has a single device CSC i.e EUX and device CSCs can not be changed.

Your active and SIM card CSCs are set to ZTO because it was flashed with ZTO firmware at some point before you bought it.

You'll need to flash the latest EUX firmware with regular version of Odin. My comment here will help you with the flashing process.

My company has a customer that is requiring all of the T-225 we provide them with have Android 11 installed exclusively. Can't be anything higher. Will new shipments of this device from the factory come with Android 12 installed or will they all be shipped with Android 11 installed as advertised? Appreciate the feedback.

Hi Guys...

I have the latest of Duttys Roms installed, and Gyrator 2.

Whenever i get an incoming call and i pick the phone up it auto-answers (only when i actually pick up the phone)

Im just wondering if anyone can point me to any non-standard areas that might be set up to do this? its annoying!

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nuke1:
Very annoying indeed...I have exactly the same problem and I too have Gyrator.

I think it's when I try and 'silence' the phone when pressing the vol + or- button.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nuke1:
OK I solved my own problem, it seems. Just go to Gyrator 2, tap Menu>Events. See the last option 'Answer Call' or something, just remove that particular event.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] anarchynow:
Yep, confirmed. Thats the problem.

Gyrator was set to hit the 'send' button when the phone is picked up.

Thanks!

I have a brand new Vivo V2124 - Y76 5G phone. 8GB/128GB.

I would like to properly root it and have a nice debloated phone. I know often once turned on and forced updates occur this becomes difficult or blocked.

Good afternoon,

I had bricked this Redmi Note 9 and it was stuck on bootloop, I tried to sort this a while ago and gave up.

After looking through the forum i followed instructions how to place a new ROM onto the device, Once i was doing this someone unplugged my phone and now it is stuck on dm-verity corruption.

The Fastboot does no longer show the bunny it only states FastBoot.

I need major help on this urgently can anyone advise

I have looked at your information but this does not help me.

It seems that whilst it was trying to flash it was unplugged which has switched the USB Debugging off, Therefore i cannot get into the phone via USB

Unless someone can advise otherwise i believe this phone is now finished and will never work again.

I had the same issue. This video is what fixed my phone from hard bricked. Don't forget that volume up + volume down must be pressed together, and it must be plugged in whilst pressing the buttons. It's also used to detect the driver. You have to be quick when you see MediaTek. Follow the instructions and you'll see. Python must be installed from the Microsoft Store as the version provided is outdated. Good luck bro. Sorry you had to wait months for someone to experience the same problem. I'm fighting with dmverity right now. lol.
[Android Head-Units] Bmw5251970:
Hello,

If I listen to radio app, for example Radio, dab+ app or video and my phone connected bij airplay receive a call or text messages the sound is switching to the phone but is coming back to the radio apps. I have to reboot the radio.

I think it is something in settings but I can not find. Any one has a idea?
[Android Head-Units] Bmw5251970:
Thanks. Unfortunately none of the options solved the problem.

I think for now is not using the radio options.

I am going to use airplay for everything. Listen to the radio by internet instead of dab+.

And if I watch video, I hope no one sends me a text message…:)
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
In the Comm Manager, I try to switch Data Connection (HSDPA for me on Orange UK) off, but it keeps coming on.

I don't want it on!

Is there a better way to keep it switched off until I request it to be re-enabled?
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Should only come on when an app requests data access. Have you got something running in the background? Quickgps perhaps?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
i can't turn mine off via the Comm Manager unless i put the phone in GSM only. fyi, the HD 3G bands don't work in the US.
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Windows Live Messenger is running in the background but that should be sorted by the WiFi which is on.

I go into the Proxy Settings for Orange Internet and untick the box that says that "this connects to the internet". But then it automatically ticks itself again and connects!

Perhaps it's an Orange problem?
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Don't think so - I'm on Orange too and it doesn't happen. Anyway, it's the phone's choice to connect to HSDPA, it has to actively make the connection.

My best guess is your phone is losing connection with your wifi for short periods, and thus resorting to the backup hsdpa.

Aren't you confusing 2 icons ?

The big plain H only means that SSDPA is available on the network. This doesn't mean you arer *using* HSDPA at this time.

The icon to look at is the one just on the right of the big H. When you are using HSDPA, it shows a little H with 2 arrows below. If it shows an antenna with the signal level bar below, you are not using HSDPA, but only GSM.

At least it's the way it works on mine. As soon as I need data transmission (like for weather forecast), it uses HSDPA since it is available. Otherwise, it uses GSM. Therefore,

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
Last year, when I traded in my Galaxy S21 Ultra to get an unlocked Galaxy S22 Ultra on Samsung.com, I got a $1,000 trade-in pre-order deal, which meant I only paid about $250 for my Galaxy Ultra S22. The S23 series was just announced, so I looked at the Samsung site to see what trade-in deals they had for an unlocked S23 Ultra. Pretty underwhelming. Only $500 for an S22 Ultra, which would bring the cost to about $700. Sure, you get 512 GB for the price of 256 GB, but I don't really care about that (256 GB is plenty for me). If I could upgrade to S23 Ultra for about $250 to $300, I'd pre-order it in a heartbeat, but not at $700.

Bummer! (I know, first-world "problem"... :) ).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
If you're ordering from the US, there's an additional $500 instant discount, not sure if this is available in other countries or, how long the offer is in effect.

I guess it's Samsung's way of pushing people to pull the trigger, FOMO on the $500 instant discount. Yeah, I agree, those trade in offers on their own are pathetic, you're better off checking out a carrier model vs unlocked direct from Samsung.

If you want 12GB RAM, moving up to the 512GB (or 1TB) storage option is necessary, as the 256GB storage option only has 8GB RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
No kidding. This really pissed me off. I thought I had missed something. Now not so sure I will switch up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Where is the $500 instant discount
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
It'll be applied once you select color/storage/trade-in. (on unlocked models only, you'll see the message right above where you select Yes/No for trade-in). The carrier models have a different trade-in allowance, you'll see different messaging in the same spot.

You'll see the pre-tax price at the bottom of the screen before you check out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
It's the same $500 trade in price that they're referring as "total instant credit". There's no additional $500 discount other than the trade in discount reflected in the pre tax price.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
it is really amusing for me to read about people complaining about things as op does, I have always paid the full price for all my devices, looking for those trade in, or signing never ending contracts looks to me like a pain the ass, better, you pay for your phone, walk out of the store, and that's it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
It's not a $500 instant discount. I'd get a $500 trade-in discount for my Galaxy S22 Ultra to get an unlocked Galaxy S23 Ultra straight from Samsung. That's way worse than last year, when I got $1,000 to trade in my Galaxy S21 Ultra to get the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I'd have to pay about $700 now to trade in my Galaxy S22 Ultra for the S23 Ultra. That's simply not worth it to me. Had it been $300 or so, like last year, I would have done it, but not $700. Ah well, would have been nice, but my S22 Ultra is still a great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah, we're talking about the same thing,$500 + whatever device you're trading in for an unlocked model.

I'm guessing the $500 instant credit isn't going to be around much longer, if at all, past the pre-order period that ends on 2/17/2023.

My apologies if my choice of words led anyone to believe there was any other additional $500 discount.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
I'm curious what you do with your older phones if you're not trading them in. Samsung for the most part (not including this year) offered great values for trade ins in good working condition which means less headaches and hassle which is normally the case when you try to sell it yourself. Unless you're the exception and rock multiple phones as your daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
What never-ending contracts? This isn't about contracts, simply the phone itself. I'm specifically talking about buying an unlocked phone straight from Samsung, not tied to any carrier. That's basically the online version of "pay for your phone, walk out the store, and that's it" like you do. Use it with any carrier. I, for one, prefer to pay as little as possible for a phone, so if I can get a great trade-in discount like last year, I'm all in.

I was simply comparing this year's S23U trade-in offer to last year's S22U, and it's way worse than last year. Last year, I got way more for my phone as a trade-in than I would ever be able to get selling it on Craig's List or OfferUp. That's definitely not the case this year. I'll hang on to my S22 Ultra longer, which is totally fine with me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
you got it wrong, I spoke in general, about you, I was referring about the cumbersome procedure of sending the phone, waiting for them to judge for what ammount they assess it, etc. I just pay for the phone at the store and presto! , I never sell the phones I have used, I use them 2 or 3 years
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah I`m with GoogleFI and I preordered through there, 600.00 instant discount and free upgrade to 512gb storage for the same price as the 256gb just like what samsung doing on there webiste, all I have too do is keep it activate on GooglefF for 120 days, so it was $635.99 total for the 512gb green color.

Edit: also the samsung phones on google fi are the unlocked versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] HuaweiU9508:
Exactly my feelings and situation right now. Pathetic game by Samsung. I was waiting all these days for the launch and willingness to upgrade. With just $500 for my s22u this doesn't make a sense at all to switch. S22u is so fast that any faster won't matter. It clicks good images too. With 700 plus taxes its not a worthy upgrade. Had it been around 350 usd i would have jumped into the wagon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
What particularly irks me is that you get a higher trade-in discount for a previous-generation iPhone 13 Pro Max than their own Galaxy S22 Ultra. Awesome way to reward brand loyalty.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
The S23 will be just like all other phones.. People will buy them. Then not long after haveing it, they will complain about how bad the camera is. Or O Samsung dropped the ball, this phone is no differnet than bla bla bla before it.. I prchase my S22 Ultra back in April of last year.. I paid in full $1400. It does what I need it to do, Call, Text, Surf, email.. That is all I need it for.. Unless the phone can do the following 1. Brush my teeth, 2. flush the toilet, or 3. cook me dinner.. I will not be purchasing a new phone until at least this one dies.

BTW Iphones are like Toyota's they hold their value.. Samsung is like American cars. Pay high price, then watch the value drop, one you leave the store.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
totally agree with you, even my beloved galaxy note 7 performed very well after 4 years of use, when somebody stole it from my son, the things is, some people have unrealistic expectations about the latest premium devices, I try to get all the pertinent info before buying , I have had Sammsung devices since the S3, after, I moved to the note series, now I returned to the S, just because the ultra model is the new note
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kenfb1:
Watching this thread, looking for best deal??? Yeah, Samsung is not giving any good deals when I looked. Better yet, I have tmobile, when I went to see what trade in was for my s22 ultra was. unbelievable $150!!!!! Are they nuts??????

Ken
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] krips2003:
Yep not a very good deal on Samsung website. Even with my perkspot discount I will end up paying around $700 for 512 GB. But then I saw email from my carrier, Google Fi. They are giving me 512 GB version for $600 plus $300 trade-in value for Galaxy S22 Ultra. So, I guess it's pretty good deal for me through Fi. In the end I'll only end up paying $300.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
That's why, if it still works, and if the S23 does not have anything breath taking comepared to the S22. Then why in the world would people want to get a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beeree7:
I always wait. Because there always seems to be better trade in a couple months after. I got my S22 ultra 512 gb for about $189 last year trading in note 20 ultra and note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SyCoREAPER:
I'm not upgrading. SD8G2 is based on promises. The front facing camera is downgraded. The 200mp is the standout but we have nothing but two camera samples. Which could be manipulated or taken to make the S23 U look more appealing.

I'm not convinced. Maybe next year. Too many what ifs this year.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
First time in a long time that I am skipping a Sammy device. And to previous post, not everyone can afford to drop that much cash all at once.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JodyBreeze901:
That price is a big no no for me. I can't see myself paying 700 bucks even after you take my device. Come on Samsung....you know those trade in values are horrible. Nah.....I'm good.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Google fi seems to have the best deal right now if you're willing to port your number for 4 months (120 days). Still a measly $280 for the S22 Ultra trade in but an automatic $600 discount and the cheapest monthly plan is $20 a month. My rough math for the 512gb S23 Ultra comes out to $460 or so after taxes for me out the door and one can go back to their old service provider once the 4 months are up.

Definitely not as efficient as Samsung's trade in process but then again this year's carrier branded deals even with them are not the usual one time discounts but bill credits on top of being forced to choose one of their higher end monthly plans.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
This is actually the biggest **** you from Samsung yet.

See for the Europeans like myself, it's a different case, we want to bin that ****ing Exynos after they basically fraudulently sold it to us. So for us it makes sense in some way to get the s23 ultra and be done with Samsung after that. For us it's better than to lose more money on our variant to swap it for the SD variant, it's rather better to get some "Value", which like mentioned above, is next to nothing, as samsung laughs in everyone's faces, and trade the steaming pile of **** and get a phone that'll actually be usable and be a phone you can daily drive for more than a year, and actually satisfy most if not all my/our needs to a good level.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KamfromCali:
So with Samsung direct, to get the best trade-in value on a good s22 ultra for the S23 ultra, you'll need to give up your phone and lock yourself to a 2 yr contract with a carrier. No thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] V0latyle:
Par for the course. If they're selling you the device at a discount, they want to ensure they're going to get revenue from you for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KamfromCali:
Yes, I understand that model if one is going thru the carrier. However, for at least the past 4 years, Samsung's trade-in process did not require the customer to subscribe to a carrier's contract and recieve credits thru termed billing payments in order to take advantage of a great trade-in value for their phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] wolfu11:
I think I'll wait and see what happens after they don't sell as many as they hoped. Even last year after the preorder they upped the trade in values once their lame 200 Samsung credit was over.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darktron13:
Not factory unlocked this is what the model number looks like for GoogleFi SM-S918UZKFGFI and this is a Samsung factory unlocked SM-S918UZKFXAA both Phantom Black 512GB. At the end of the day you can change the firmware to the one you prefer.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 2015Ducatimulti:
my S22 ultra bought directly from GoogleFi had the firmware SM-S908UZKFXAA/XAA in the phone info, I actually had to change it with SAMFW Tool to TMB, since it was taking forever to get Android 13 on my S22 ultra, then once was updated to Android 13 I changed it back to the original XAA/XAA CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darktron13:
I'm in the same wagon as OP Samsung only offers 375$ for my Galaxy S22+ while contract for 2-3 years they'd offer me 1,000$ on monthly credits not to mention that they'll have me pay their highest tier plans 80$+ a month. Nope just bought an unlocked S23 Ultra and I'll make up for the deals with selling my S22+ elsewhere for at least 500$ also with my low cost montly plan of only 40$ and able to change to lower tier plans if data is not used. Trade in offers are horrible at Samsung this year and I don't mix with contracts that force you to play by their rules...
