[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rapier:
I confirm also. Since S23 Ultra, I am using only the USB-C to USB-C cable between my PC/laptop and phone for everything (transferring, flashing, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
So, seems like we see a new trend or pattern from Samsung. Different regions are getting different builds, on the same variant. They just cant help themselves can they.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] klisza1993:
Yeap, i did same and same behaviour.... is it fixable?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] klisza1993:
So once you chanage CSC you wont receive OTA anymore? The is no fix for that at all?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
You can't stay in EUX/EUY if you want OTA's, so no, not fixable.

Change back to the original CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] klisza1993:
Crap.. ive change CSC mainly cuz od update time... but seems like it doesn't work like that anymore. Read that some csc dont have such issue, like INS. Can someone confirm that?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
I changed CSC to THL, which is OXM based(same as INS) and also flashed THL firmware, so I guess I should be getting updates, but we'll see next month. AXBN came out a few days later than AXBG, but they're basically the same, the only difference is AXBN has native call recording and some also have SPay, like THL and INS for example. I only started switching in the first place bcs I had issues with 5G connection on native CSC, it simply wouldn't connect to 5G, which blows my mind. No issues on EUX or THL tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Hi, i have a question.. I bought the phone on other country and Im from Argentina. I have got OWO CSC.

Mi Idea is , when samsung will sell the phone, use the rom from argentina, so i have to flash all the rom or just change CSC file with Odin ?

Because, some user on top the page say to other user that when he insert the sim where he is, the firmware change automatically but is true ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Other question, i found the firmware ARO on this website samfw, but samsung doesn not sell the phone yet.

So, is fake ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] annson08:
ARO Firmware is definitely out and legit, you can find official changelog HERE
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Wuau! Was today haha.. but how can i donwload it? Because dont appear the link.

The firmware install with Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] annson08:
Yeah, since it was just released frija might take a day or two before seeing the firmware but if you absolutely couldn't wait for it, you can download from other websites (samfw, samfrew, etc.) (disclaimer: I don't use any of those sites and haven't tested any from them before, use at your own risk.) (Mods, if pointing them to those sites is not allowed, please snip. TY)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Excusme i didnt understood who is frija , and where i can download ?

I have never use other site than sammobile on My old galaxy s7 phone haha.

Other question, My versión is s928B ds(dual sim) but the firmware is the same, true? Is owo
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
No, it's how Samsung OTA works now. Not applied to Wifi-only tablets though.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
You can flash any firmware for S928B. DS just means dual sim, it shares firmware with S928B single sim as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Thanks You do much

The last question, can i use the gto versión and un a free days JUST flash csc/Home csc file from ARO with Odin? Is safe?

Or is better flash all the rom ?

Thanks you
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Other question, sorry. But, On Doc. Samsungmobile say that the last update was published yesterday but on samfw and frija says that was published March 6 .. so I dont understand because the offical news say yesterday..

The last one,, is safe to flash the ARO rom without Samsung not sell the phone here yet? Or maybe the rom has some bug or error ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Sorry for a lot of question but mi idea is begin to use the phone tomorrow and i dont know if is true the aro firmware because they phone doesnt roll out yet, what do You recomend me? Thanks you
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Where did you buy the phone? If it's from a Latin American country (OWO multiCSC), you only need to change CSC to ARO using Samfw. But if not then you need to flash full ARO firmware then change CSC to ARO as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
I bought My phone during a travel. It's from GTO (owo GTO) . So what do You recomend me? Just flash the csc? Just this file?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
My firmware is axbl1 and the aro is the same
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
oh wait, if you're changing CSC from GTO to ARO, you need to flash the CP of ARO as well, after changing CSC to ARO

ARO CP partition is OLDER than GTO (AXBL < AXBM, look at the CP file), so I don't know, you MIGHT need a factory reset for a system partition downgrade.

Backup everything first before flashing, then try flashing without factory reset. If it works fine then skip the reset, otherwise factory reset.

https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S928B/ARO/S928BXXS1AXBL
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Excuse me but i didnt understood.

Where you see the axbm ?

When i turn on the phone on recovery mod say that i have install "1axbl" and i see that ARO rom say the same.

Look here https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-S928B/ARO/doc.html

This page say that the last one update from ARO is axbl, and im donwload from Frija the last update (says 1axbl)

Im consufed , Can you explain me ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Guys I donwload both stock rom versión from Frija

1) The last update of GTO

2) And the last update of ARO

The ARO´s file has

1) AP_S928BXXS1AXBL_S928BXXS1AXBL_MQB77822400_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS14.tar

2) BL_S928BXXS1AXBL_S928BXXS1AXBL_MQB77822400_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

3) CP_S928BXXS1AXBL_CP26049667_MQB77822400_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

4) CSC_OWO_S928BOWO1AXBL_QB77819862_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

The GTO´s File hast

1) AP_S928BXXS1AXBL_S928BXXS1AXBL_MQB77822400_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS14.tar

2) BL_S928BXXS1AXBL_S928BXXS1AXBL_MQB77822400_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

3) CP_S928BXXS1AXBM_CP26049668_MQB77835921_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

4) CSC_OWO_S928BOWO1AXBL_QB77819862_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

To Finish. I have install on my phone this days (I go to update the software on my phone and the message say " your software just is updated")

VERSION:

S928BXXS1AXLB

S928OWO1AXBL

S928BXXS1AXBM

PARCH: 1 MARCH

So my idea is. Use the ARO Rom, so... I have to flash all or just flash CSC with ODIN?

On Samsung Page say that 1AXBL is the last update (March 1 and published 13/03)

What do you recomend me ? thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
@maurit43 Forget everything what you found. Here simple thing.

ARO and GTO both are part of same group of CSC called "OWO" (Check CSC part of firmware and you find CSC_OWO )

So whether you flash ARO firmware OR GTO Firmware there will be no difference beacuse when both are same group of CSC. You can install whatever you want to install from either of it.

If your country is ARO then better flash ARO firmware and change CSC to ARO in case it is set to GTO so you can receive all future OTA for ARO only. To change CSC visit samfw.com.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Thats ok!!! My original idea was, flash the aro rom because i dont want yo hace any problem with red/wifi/4g on My country (arg)

So do You Say that i havent problem with that?

Thanks youu
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I have edited my post meanwhile, Re-read it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
I read it and i have the principal problem.

I don't know if the aro rom is new or older than the rom i hace install nowadays.

All the file are the dame except CP.

I have install : 1axbm

The aro is: 1axbl

If i want yo flash the aro, is they same versión that i have or si newer? Or i justo flash the csc

I don't understand this. 1) Wich versión i have and which is thr aro versión (older or newer or the same) and 2) if i have to flash all the rom or justo csc

Can You clear My mind?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I've already cleared.

Flash ARO full ROM, and change your CSC to ARO This will help you to get future OTA from ARO.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Lodix:
I can confirm that there is no problem flashing with Odin using a USB-C prot and a USB 3 cable. I was hesitating but I tried it. It was also much faster, from 5.X min with a USB 2.0 to just 1min and 21 seconds with the USB 3.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Thanks You!!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] maurit43:
Hi guys ! Wel... I flashed my phone few minute ago with ARO Rom and after that I add my Sim in the phone and I made wipe cache y data factory, , after that I´m setting my phone.

BUT I have a question

On "Software Informatión" windows /setting , exactly on "Provider Version Software" say OWO_GTO_ GOTO/GTO/GTO" , the question is... why say that and dont say ARO ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You've been asked to change CSC to ARO for that.

Visit samfw.com for same.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Vadim1:
Could you please double check and let me know whether your software version is the same as on mine ?

I am puzzled as to why mine still does not see any 5G whereas yours does.

India receives "AXCA" build with April sec. patch. It's a "U" build weighing almost 1 GB, so expect other improvements as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Terminator@:
OTA for CSC XSG AXCA April 2024 is released.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
Can anyone shed some light if the included app updates result in the 1GB package?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] exocetdj:
Some users are reporting the update causing the phone to get stuck at android bootanimation screen - booting into safe mode seems to produce a black screen with "safe mode" in the bottom left corner of the screen - phone unresponsive to screen touches and adb not working apparently
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Haven't faced it in mine. It's running smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sardelisp:
All good with the update. Running AXCA
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] exocetdj:
Glad to hear and thanks both
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MeltdownSpectre:
AXCA installed and running through OTA, no issues whatsoever.

This post did make me panic a bit so I downloaded AXCA through Frija, ready to flash in case I got stuck :D

One thing to note, I checked camera firmware versions before and after update, and while the camera sensor firmware versions did not change, the OIS FW version did get updated with the AXCA update.

DGC3QK2M (AXBN) to DGC3RB1M (AXCA)

Before/after screenshots attached.

Edit: Apparently already posted by @Virgo_Guy here.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] shivammangla:
for s24u it is 1gb and 0.5gb for base and plus

Adhering to Samsung's long-standing product tradition, Snapdragon models rarely change their algorithms (camera firmware versions) due to OTA updates. I started noticing this behavior with the Chinese version of the S10 series and it still persists to this day. Only Exynos models will change the algorithm (camera firmware version) via OTA update

Hello guys, I am a bit at a loss. I live in France, I baught a S24 ultra with Rakuten, US version. The last time the firmware was updated was on the 1st jan. I am looking for a manual update firmware, and when I look at the CSC, it shows this : s928uoyn1awm9!! WTF is the CSC OYN? It is mentionned nowhere (the model is SM-s928U/ds). I also have GCF and XAA... I don't get it.

I have 2 questions : 1) what is this OYN csc? 2)how can I update my firmware?

Thank you all and sorry to bother.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
Actually, your CSC is GCF, which i've never seen before, but originally it was XAA.

Now, OYN is the CSC group for SM-S928U, which XAA does not belong to. OYM beholds XAA and is used by SM-S928U1, but GCF remains the mystery and maybe the reason why you're not getting OTA's.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] madalpine:
Ok then, what should I do? install a regular XAA firmware? Could this work?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PlutoDelic:
I'm not entirely sure. XAA is U1, yours is U, from past experience these require a patched Odin to flash. Wait for more feedback from the US owners.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Veestaai:
You can flash the regular XAA firmware. After flashing you'll get U1 XAA ota updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] madalpine:
Ok thanks. I just downloaded the zip file for XAA. when I extract, I have this :

Is this correct for Odin?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] madalpine:
it worked just fine, now I have this :

Thank you guys for help.

Hi, am ı writing right place , ı dont know , but ı need learn something , how can ı know while ı buy S24 ultra ( thinking buy from Malaysia ) is that " global or not" if it is be global, ı can use in all country where ı go, Turkiye,Qatar,İndonasia, example this is Malayisan store's device code SM-S928BZKWXME and this is also from store Turkiye SM-S928BZKCTUR, only different W and C
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] annson08:
SM-S928B is 'global' and you can change from XME to TUR or vice-versa.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MeltdownSpectre:
The 'W' and C' are different because of storage.

W = Titanium Black with 1 TB storage

C = Titanium Black with 256 GB storage

We have a test firmware with major version revision change.

Now, the flamboyant www.sam[insert-something].com websites are jumping to conclusions that One UI 7 Beta development has started.

It obviously will at some point (superb journalism), but this will most probably be 6.1.1, or if Samsung changes something as radically as they sometimes do, could be 6.5. OneUI revisions have always reported as major changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ningsp:
Reference from previous years. Galaxy S Series not have One UI x.1.1, next version is One UI x.0 (Android OS upgrade).

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Osaka Slim:
I have a Japanese model Pixel Pro 6 running the latest Android 14.

How do I pair it with an Honor 5 smart band? I can find no Honor or Huawei Apps in the Google App Store. Is there a reason for this I’ve missed and should know about? Is it possible to use an App from a different developer, and if so, which one do people recommend?

I’ve tried searching the whole Forum and can find no answers or advice more up-to-date than 2022.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
Have you tried apkmirror to get the latest Huawei health app?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Osaka Slim:
Thank you for your suggestion.

I’m in two minds about going the apk route due to security and risk of malware. There has to be a reason the Apps have been pulled from the Google App store whether political or technical. But it looks like it’s going to be that way or give up on Huawei / Honor products!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] majorfigjam:
The reasons are well documented, and relate to a 2019 US ruling regarding Huawei and its relationship to the Chinese government. Honor is no longer owned by Huawei but its older products are obviously still affected.

Up to you whether you go with a parallel app store, or get a new band or watch that is not affected by the ruling.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Osaka Slim:
Yeah, I’ve kept my head pretty deep in the sand the last few years what with happily living in Asia during the geopolitical turmoil.

I want to monitor my health but am not sure if I can stand wearing a smart band all day / night. Someone local is selling an Honor 5 cheaply and it covers what I need so I thought I’d try it before potentially wasting money on the latest and greatest.

I’ve installed Huawei App Store and Health App with crossed fingers that nothing bad happens….

Many thanks for your responses on this issue. I’ll now close out this question.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
Don't worry about it IV used the honor band 5 for like 4 years now and I noticed even if the app was on play store it asked to install unknown sources I did see the honor app on play store but I not installed it or nothing
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Osaka Slim:
Thanks for your response.

I finally installed the Health App from the Huawei App Store and have been using my Honor 5 Band for over a week now. I like it! I’ve not seen any increase in mobile bandwidth usage and not been nagged by the App to download any more stuff so it seems ok. If anyone has been sniffing around my mobile via the Apps they’ll be well bored by now!

yeah....that's impossible then....

but to answer your question though, you need to be rooted to do this, and you need to unlock the bootloader to root, and OEM unlock is required to unlock the bootloader....so yes, it is required

and like I said, it's a different country, but with the commands and modifications like "<boolean name="carrier_volte_available_bool" value="true" />", it still might work...
