[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] JoeTheDude:
I bought a Galaxy S23+ device in Canada, model SM-S916W.

I want to change CSC via SamFW (mainly to allow call recording).

When I check the samfw page for the model, it only shows me Canadian CSCs, here is the list (see screenshot below):

BMC BWA CHR ESK FIZ FMC GLW KDO PCM PMB RWC SJR SOL TBT TLS VMC VTR XAC

Is there any way to get a different CSC for this model?

I see that the SM-S916B model has lots of CSCs. Can I download one of these and install them on my SM-S916W device?

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] zSyntex:
If it's the same model, yep. You've to flash CSC via Odin with a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] JoeTheDude:
Thanks for the reply!

Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean exactly by "the same model"?

My model is SM-S916W, the desired CSCs are for the model SM-S916B - so that's not the same model, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] zSyntex:
No, the S916B is the International/European model. For example I've got the S918B, which is the Int. S23 Ultra.

You're model is the same for specification, but different band etc.

Probably could hard brick your device if you try to flash our firmware on it.

You could only flash another firmware/CSC specific for your model.

People tried to flash other fw and worked, but it's all or nothing
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] Pupet_Master:
Sorry to say but your phone is canadian only, you can't flash any other firmware that isn't from that Canadian list
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] Skatezero:
samfw is legit lmfao
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] Alaunus:
What do you mean a full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] yygemmi770:
The only possibility of changing the CSC to something other than Canada, would be if you flashed U1 using a patched ODIN. Not sure if it works with S23 series, but has worked for all previous S series. However, I do not think this will solve your call recording problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] jrkruse:
There is no way to get call recording on a US or Canadian device without unlocked bootloaders and or root
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] mvikrant97:
Which CSC do you want it to change it to?

I can try to change the CSC using ADB and test mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] jrkruse:
It doesn’t matter what you change the csc code too. You can’t flash the csc file that would support call recording so it doesn’t matter
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] faisalb4:
I have same issue i own S23+ SM-S916U with CSC XAA and when i used SamFW only US band CSC list is available , i am not able to update my device by any means for now . Is there any way i can safely receive OTA updates in future by any safe solution either using ODIN or Samfw
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] yygemmi770:
Need a little bit more info than that. Is it on a U software channel or U1?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] faisalb4:
@yygemmi770

Model name SM-S916U

Baseband version S916USQS1AWBM

Service Provider Software Version : SAOMC_SM-S916U_OYN_XAA_13_0012

XAA/XAA,XAA/XAA

This is current information at my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] yygemmi770:
I would flash a U1 build, it then should receive OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] faisalb4:
@yygemmi770

is it safe to flash U1 build on this phone version as i think its U version phone the model name is SM-S916U

furthermore can we flash U1 build firmware on a U model phone. Furthermore i do not live in USA therefore which CSC should flashed to receive the OTA update .

Sorry for being noob but i am new to this can you guide what is the process of flashing the U1 build firmware on this device

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] imvntot:
Hi sir, I have SM-S9160 Model, can I flash SM-S916B FW? is there anyway I can do it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] jrkruse:
Not unless someone makes one specifically for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] Etruvix:
Hey I have the same question, can I flash U1 on U phone and do I use Odin and is full wipe required?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] jrkruse:
You can and yes you must wipe data
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] Zirdaj:
Hey, so I have been searching but keep on getting mixed answers:

I have an international S23 Ultra (S918B), and I just recently moved to Canada. I am unable to connect to 5G. This means that the bands of this international version is not compatible with Canada's? (So much for being called international). I am unable to flash Canadian firmware as it is not in the CSC list. Is there no other workaround? Am I really stuck with just 4G/4G+? Bummer since I intend to keep this phone as long as possible.

I am able to access the band selection via *#2263#, and the following are selected for NR5G (all NSA-SA): 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 25, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66, 77, 78.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] raju chacha:
can you please tell me the steps . what am i supposed to do with this to get call recording running? thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] jrkruse:
Is your phone bootloader unlocked and rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus] Kiwi_in_oz:
Were you able to get 5G going?

I am trying to open Service menu for band selection using few methods mentioned on XDA but none seem to work anymore.

I have tried using Shell to run this command - am broadcast -a com.samsung.android.action.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378 -n com.sec.android.RilServiceModeApp/.SecKeyStringBroadcastReceiver but it gives permission denied error.

Any suggestions?

For eg if i want to change android version, bootloader, build number, device name, cpu, kernel, processor or more things like this what module can i use which can convert device into whole another device??

[General Questions and Answers] d_ave:
Hello, I need some help to bring back to life a bricked MTK phone. Let me try to give you all facts in brief:

- The phone is MyPhone Hammer Energy 2 with MTK 6761 (let's call it Bricked Phone)

- Stock firmware is based on Android 11 - unfortunatelly stock image cannot be obtained from anywhere, manufacturer also refuses to send it. Good news is that i have the exact same phone in working condition, from which hopefully i can copy what's needed (let's call it Working Phone).

- Owner of the Bricked Phone tried to root it - this failed, the phone was showing DM-Verity corruption error and after bypoassing it was boot looping after the logo.

- Without knowing or having the Working Phone i found only an Android 9 stock image - tried to flash it through SP Flash Tool which bricked the phone - buttons do nothing, but when attached to a charger the charing light lits up. PC is also able to identify it.

- After i bricked it i took the Working Phone from a friend. I downloaded the firmware from it using two methods - by SP Flash Tool and WWR tool and also by the MTK Client tool.

- I tried flashing the rom from the Working Phone on the Bricked Phone by SP Flash Tool - i'm able to flash only the Preloader, Recovery and Boot, for all other partitions SP Flash Tool is giving me ERROR: STATUS SEC IMG TYPE MISMATCH. Phone is still dead even after flashing Preloader, Recovery and Boot.

- I tried flashing using the MTK Client tool (using the python mtk w command), flash finishes fine, but i'm still not able to boot the phone.

- I disassembled the phone, disconnected the battery and once again tried to flash using the MTK Client tool - same result, flash completes successfully, but the phone is still a brick.

What am i doing wrong? i followed step by step all guides that i was able to find and still i'm not able to resurrect the phone using the partitions downloaded from the Working Phone.
[Android General] tr0ubleman:
Hey guys. I have an android tablet (running Android 8.1) that I flashed with a rooted system partition. The tablet has two main storage partitions: user and sdcard. sdcard is 20gb of storage that is immediately accessible via USB if plugged into the computer.

The problem I'm having is, after flashing with the new system partition, the 20gb storage is no longer mounted. I'm able to mount it using the following command:

$ mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard
$ chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard
$ mount -o rw /dev/block/blck27 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard

The problem is, after mounting it, I can't open media files, and I can't access it via USB either. I looked in the /vendor/fstab file to see how this partition is being mounted, which looks like this:

/dev/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p27 auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,noemulatedsd

I'm not sure how to create a mount command that mimics the functionality of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Captain_cookie_200:
use gsi. here is a list of them. Avoid google gsi. The ones i recommend are crdroid, lineage os TD, Pixel Experience , EvolutionX, spark os etc. (spark os has issues with 90Hz on builds after feb patch)
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] bentelog20:
im a first timer and dont have idea about gsi thanks btw
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Captain_cookie_200:
Its basically a generic system image for treble supported devices and our phone is one of those. The page i provided above has various gsi's linked in it. I personally use crdroid. here is a thread i wrote on the configuration and any workarounds that i use.
[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] edventures7:
Hello 👋

Just received a new Xiaomi Note 11E Pro[Global ver.], purchased in the USA to be exact, and after going through the set-up process I've noticed I'm simply missing the option to use "Hi-Fi Audio" in my sound effects section.

My HD Audio toggle is also greyed out under developer options.

I've tried connecting two different Bluetooth headphones and two different headphones through the 3.5mm jack, but the option won't appear.

Is this a feature that's hidden or locked by default in some way? Would appreciate if anyone has any non-rooting solutions first, but if I have to go that way, I did want to fix having gesture navigation work with Nova Launcher anyhow.

Current firmware is MIUI Global 13.0.5/Android 12.
[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] zSyntex:
Probably because your Bluetooth device isn't compatible with AAC and above codecs.

Which earphones do you have?

Jack/wired devices use the DAC, so they'll always follow the max quality of your hardware without any intervention.
[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] Spider102:
When you talk about hi-res Bluetooth codecs, you talk about LDAC, APTX HD and there is also one called LHDC

Try a custom ROM, because Samsung stopped the update support for Galaxy S7

You could find anything you want in the modding section, but the Exynos variant is limited in it.

Really great news !

I mean, your NcX S21FE ROM it is very stable and reliable as daily driver ( I'm using it every day ) but I like to play around with various ROM / custom kernel and modding in general !

Besides, I'm now re-installing crDroid into my OP9PRO and that's is really snappy and affordable so it would be great to see it on A52S 5G as well ! (y)

So, many thanks for you advise and be so kind to push the release as best as you can !!! ;)

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] barryallen3038:
Since there are no reviews for this ROM, thought I would just write one. Been using this ROM for a while now, and it's working great. Everything is smooth, customizations are on point and it's just a great ROM.

The only issue I faced was with whatsapp or messenger audio or video calls, I'm unable to hear the other person. This is even when I'm on speaker or connected to headphones.

This simple reason is why it can't be a daily driver for me, since I get calls on those platforms a lot. But if you can overlook that, I'd say it's the perfect ROM. Also, Dolby magisk modules work better on crdroid compared to pixel experience. On pixel experience, the audio doesn't process over Bluetooth, on crdroid, it does.

So my phone screen just went black and doesn't work anymore. I wanted to adb pull all files from my phone (everything takes up 17gb, so It wouldn't be a big deal to transfer everything and sort through it on my PC), but when I boot to TWRP via command line and try to decrypt the phone the fs is still encrypted, what am I doing wrong? Or maybe there's a better approach for this and I'm just stupid? (attached is my pattern drawn on a random png from google and the commands that I tried to use) Thanks in advance :)

It requires me to unlock the phone to do that. I think i'll just buy a USB C to USB A and HDMI dongle to view my phone screen on a monitor and operate it via a mouse. That seems like the easiest way out.

Thanks for the help, though!

Your device is old, it's better to handle with a new recovery like TWRP than another method (if there was)
