Thank you for your kind reminding. Sorry about that for first. Of course I understand the forum rules. I'd considered them before my second post. I'm not a native English speaker maybe I didn't state the two different topic as I intended to. The first topic is about asking help for no 5g signal ij China and the second one is about how to change service provider software version. My consideration was even the second topic might be one of the solution of my first post, the answer of the second one would be used at somewhere eles. Again I apologize for duplicate post, and I will accept your judges anyway. The above explaination is just for letting you know I wasn't intended to violate the rules.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] V0latyle:
I understand, but in the interest of reducing clutter, it's generally best to ask all your questions in one place. No need to create multiple posts for different questions on the same device.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AdarXu:
Thank you for gathering information for the reply. The good new is finally I made it, without unlocking BL. Now I enjoying 5g SA signal.

The bad news are I didn't do it myself, I found a professionor on online shopping platform and spend about 11 usd for the service. And till now I haven't get the XBG, and XBN update OTA even I checked again and again in settings. I doubt if I am getting it in the future.

It's done by online adb so I don't know what he actually did. However I am pretty sure there is no firmware flashing since he done it pretty fast. And my BL remains locked, software version hasn't been changed. He changed my service provider to xxv（Vietnam）. However he said he just changed it for me by the way coz this region has call recording, I can pick any service provider region I like it doesn't matter.

According his explation(of course he won't teach me how to), Samsung locked some bands of all s928b varients. This lock is contained in all the firmwares of s928b. Which means by changing within all s928b firmware files is useless. However S9280 is intended to be sold in China, of course it's official firmware won't lock those 5g bands in China, that explains why after unlocking BL and flash s928b with s9280's Official firmware, the 5g become accessible, and due to the similar hardware s928b works just fine with s9280's firmware, and 5g signal come after firmware flashing, that is confirmed by several s928b users in China.

The down side of this method is s9280's firmware has localized AI features (nerfed, but accessible while Google isn't accessible in China). And you have to unlock BL to do so.

Then what he actually did to my s928b?

He said if we want to unlock the band lock of s928b without "unlocking BL and use s9280's firmware", we can't change any of the original firmware. His way is to unlock all the bands available by writing to "system base"(sorry I don't know how to translate that) through system vulnerability, but the band would be relocked if I flash any firmware again, However I can still update via OTA pushing of the region I picked.

For me 11 usd is fair price since I can keep my BL locked, use Google ai features, get call recording, without losing 5g signal in China. Even thought I gonna root it very soon for trying costom roms. My goal is to get 5g before using costom rom, so that if I can't use 5g with costom rom, I would be sure the problem comes from costom rom not the device itself.

Lastly, I am not sure he is telling me true "knowledge", you guys can judge it.🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AdarXu:
OK, I got it, won't do it next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sealed:
That's great. I think he used QPST, but OTA will lose, so you may need to do that again. You said you cannot OTA, it may because you are not in the OTA track of XXV. By the way, have you confirmed that you are using SA in setting or *#0011#？
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
You won't receive OTA updates with your AXBG firmware and Vietnam CSC though, because AXBG does not exist for Vietnam.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AdarXu:
It shows its NR5G and NR band is N78 in *#0011#. I guess it's SA? He said OTA won't make it lost, only flashing firmware would, the funny thing is as long as I can't get ota, he can also say so.😂
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AdarXu:
oh, maybe you're right, thank you. It's ok for me since within one week I gonna root my device to try costom roms. Just to make sure s928b is able to get 5g in China before rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sealed:
you can see 5g type in setting about your phone - sim status. The easiest way to get

ota is change csc back to Singapore or flash to AWM9 to get call record.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AdarXu:
Thank you, I checked, it's sa.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] lupin57:
Did u try to flash only the CP dedicated ? :unsure:

All devices have usually the same hardware (Modem) and it's just a question of driver finally !

That's the difference between all different CP !
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] AdarXu:
yes I did, however I can only flash cp within OXM regions, I know S9280's cp might work but it needs BL unlocking.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] akkk44:
I am interested in going the opposite way…… is it possible to get the esim feature for 9280?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] akkk44:
@AdarXu

I wonder if anyone tried loading 2x Chinese physical SIM cards onto an S928B/DS? would it work just fine?

Interesting choice of OS. Can you elaborate why did you choose Manjaro over Windows or Ubuntu or even any other Linux Distro.
[Battlestations] DeanR97:
Before Manjaro i used Ubuntu for many years, but i wanted to use the AUR, so i switched to Manjaro.

it's basically Arch for beginners ^^
[Battlestations] #YetAnotherPerson:
Why did you choose nvidia gpu for linux, as AMD offers OSS drivers, and better support. I also would prefer fedora over manjaro, it is sleek out of the box and offers rock solid stability.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] livagoth:
So after installing the March security update, I am facing a weird issue with autosync, which randomly gets activated by itself, usually when I put the phone to charge. Literally if I have the settings panel open, I see the button getting activated without me doing something. Is anyone else experiencing it?

Things I have tried:

- wipe cache partition from recovery

- disabled all kind of sync options per app

- tried registrar and nice catch to check if an app is causing this

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MrAwesome75:
So, are you saying you don't want to sync your data? I've never tried turning AutoSync off. I'm having an issue that is possibly related to this. After my phone updated a week ago, I can't backup my phone. I just get an error message. I wonder if this is some bug that will get fixed in the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hshah:
There may be issues with this update because I can no longer access Phone app settings - it just closes whenever I try.

Sent from SM-S918B using ReLabs
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] livagoth:
Yes I prefer to do it manually to save battery. It is weird that this update has caused these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Wojtekbass:
Uninstall the Aliexpress app. It turns the synchronisation on. It helped me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sardelisp:
how did you find out exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Wojtekbass:
I checked one by one the applications I have installed, checked permissions. It turned out that the aliexpress app was causing the sync to be turned on
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] livagoth:
Thanks a lot. This is the solution, so far no sync issues. I cannot understand why Aliexpress creates an account at your phone and asks for sync.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Viva La China?!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sardelisp:
Is there any way to keep installed and fully functional aliexpress app but deny that sync permission???

Anyone any idea??
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Wojtekbass:
Funny thing, because when I installed aliexpress again, it doesn't enable sync anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sardelisp:
That's not true. After installed it and sign in opened again auto sync. Too bad 👎
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] livagoth:
Yes it is the same for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Wojtekbass:
Sorry, you are right. I installed aliexpress but didn't log in. When I logged in,.it started to automatically enable sync again.

But I have installed an older version of the app from apkmirror and it does not enable synchronisation
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nmt1900:
Is "Change system settings" setting on "Allowed" or "Not allowed" at the time this behaviour occures?

Not enabled

Hello, I have a Redmi note 8, I have used custom roms such as pixelos, arrowos, MIUI 14 and hypermint so far, but most of them are laggy or I could not find the features I want. I am looking for a rom that is fast, lag-free and has good customization and appearance in terms of animation. I am thinking of downloading OneUI. Do you have any advice?

A couple of days ago I found this ROM lineage-21.0-20240217-UNOFFICIAL-ginkgo -> https://androidsmart.github.io/cusrom/202403/lineage21-a14-ginkgo/ , and I can say that it works fantastically, It's incredibly fluid. I'm a fan of Lineage, but this one exceeded expectations. I don't know who the developer is, but kudos to him. You can try it for a few days and then decide. Recommendation. It is lightweight and does not take up a lot of resources.

The official LOS 18.1 was notgood for me, there was chopping in the animations. I also found the last LOS 17.1 (android 11), so I will try that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] sharpknight:
Hello everyone,

Doe anyone know whether the unlocked Galaxy S24 Plus SM-S926U1 supports band 71? Band 71 is used for Tmobile 5G, so it is very important.

The specs on the Samsung website don't list band 71: https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/smartphones/galaxy-s24/specs/

However On other Reddit threads it has been said that the Tmobile version and unlocked version are identical hardware, so they shoudl both be the same.

I would like to confirm whether the SM-S926U1 supports band 71 so I know if I have to buy Tmobile version or if I canbuy unlocked version.
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] Eddie Hicks:
I have the 24+ on T-Moblie and the 5G is strong.
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] sharpknight:
Do you have the SM-S926U1 or the Tmobile S24+?

Are you connecting to band 71 specifically which is the new 600mhz band for nationwide 5G?
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] sharpknight:
After many hours with Samsung support staff, as long as the SM-S926U1 is a US issued phone it should support band 71 but it is best to check the IMEI with support.

To Whom it may Concern;

I'm interested in ROOTING, (if possible), my LOCKED, BLU, Studio Mini 2023 Phone. I have a basic understanding of rooting Phones, but, from what I've discovered sofar it doesn't appear to me that this model can be rooted. So, I thought that, since even after doing several searches, and coming up with nothing, I would present my inquiry to see if anyone is familiar with this model and possibly has successfully "ROOTED" it. I can't even do a hard reset, as when I start the Phone with both the Volume Up + the Power pressed simultaneously, & then releasing the POWER key when the BLU -> logo appears, all I get is"NO COMMAND", with an automatic restart following shortly-> See attached Snapshot Please help-> Thank You❗️
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argonon:
Try pushing power and volume up key when you see this screen. Might be a combo like vol + power or hold power and tap volume up twice etc, should enter recovery. This is standard on many newer stock

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] lloyddominic26:
Before this bootlooping problem occurred, I was taking a screenshot of my phone. As soon as I took the screenshot, the screen froze and, if I recall correctly, it rebooted itself.

The issue is most likely caused by insufficient storage, as I got a warning that its storage is already starting to be nearly full.

Going back, when the phone rebooted itself, I noticed it is taking longer than usual, so I just left it there since I thought it may just be part of the slow booting process.

I returned to the phone, and this is where I realized it has gone into bootloop.

I have tried everything from using the recovery mode, ODIN/download mode, doing a "Wipe data/factory reset" through the recovery mode, and wiping the cache.

I decided I'm going to install TWRP to either gain access to my device using adb from TWRP (I don't know if that's possible), or at least do the wiping process from TWRP (so I can be selective of what partitions to wipe).

Unfortunately, due to the strict security features of Android these days, there is now a bootloader lock, and I would need to enable the option "OEM unlocking" in the Developer Options.

However, I have not enabled that before, which means I cannot install TWRP.

I also tried flashing the stock firmware (thankfully, the firmware version is displayed in recovery mode). I tried flashing just the AP initially, but I also tried including the BL in the second flash, and none of which seemed to resolve the issue.

I wiped the cache thinking it will free up enough space to make the device usable again, although that did nothing to solve the problem.

Since this is a Samsung device, there is also a "Repair apps" option in the recovery mode, and I have read that it will do things similar to the "One UI: Optimizing apps" screen. This also did nothing.

I should note though that during the initial stages of my attempt at fixing this problem, I got into the lock screen, but I wasn't able to do anything as it rebooted itself again after maybe a couple of seconds. I think I got into the lock screen before I wiped the cache.

Now, I want to know how to fix this problem, and what are the steps I need to take in order to solve this issue. Otherwise, please tell me if my device is already bricked (soft-brick?); hopefully not.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] lloyddominic26:
Update:

I tried flashing the firmware again using ODIN/download mode, but this time, I have flashed all parts of the firmware: BL, AP, CP, and CSC (HOME_CSC).

I also wiped the cache partition through the recovery mode once again.

This time, I now got into the initial setup screen of Android/Samsung, where you accept the EULA, privacy policy, etc.

However, it is asking me to connect to a WiFi network, but for some reason, all communications (WiFi and mobile networks) on the device are not working.

I restarted the phone, thinking it would resolve the issue, but it went back to being in a bootloop again. I wiped the cache again, and it did not do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] lloyddominic26:
Update #2:​

I decided to once again do the steps I did in Update #1, and I'm now back at the Android/Samsung setup screen again.

I guess it just needs time to perform several reboots before it can proceed with the main Android operating system.

However, both WiFi networks and mobile networks are still not working.

At the setup screen after the page where it asks you to accept the EULA and privacy policy, a popup at the bottom of the screen appeared with the text: "An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity."

Unfortunately, I can't connect to either type of network as both seems to be nonfunctional.

There is a "Skip" button below the "Turn on Wi-Fi" button, but clicking it just brings this popup: "A network connection is needed to continue setup. Connect to Wi-Fi, or insert a SIM card and use mobile data.", and a button inside the popup: "Back to Wi-Fi setup". Clicking that button just closes that popup.

Perhaps it is related to the CP/Modem in ODIN?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] lloyddominic26:
Update #3:​

I now got the phone to connect to mobile networks and use mobile data.

I opened the back of the phone to gain access to the internal board and fiddled with the sub board. What most likely fixed the issue is the loose connection between the main board and the sub board.

However, WiFi is still nonfunctional.

I tried flashing the firmware again (AP only), and I think it wiped my data again.

I opened the phone again to adjust the wirings of the WiFi antennas, but the problem still persists.

To whom it may Concern;

I'm seriously considering, now, especially, that my Android 13, Samsung Galaxy A13 5G Smart Phone is out of warranty, & I've been told by Samsung that it can't be upgraded to Android 14 because it's core is only 5.1, to "ROOT" it. First, I have ROOTED phones in the past, with what first appeared to be succesful results, to only experience "bricking" days later. So needless to say, I am apprehensive and have decided to be VERY CAREFUL in making my final decision. Hopefully based on advice from much more experienced developers than myself, and hopefully from sources who are very familiar with my Phone and have either successfully or not, "ROOTED" this phone with confirmed hopefully Positive Results❗️I definitely do not want to brick my Phone and experience that failure again❗️I also am trying to discover what actual practical improvements that can be expected in a successful "ROOTING" process with a Custom ROM installed in this model❗️

I would like to provide a Youtube DYI link that is relevant to rooting the Samsung A13 5G Smart Phone, running Android 13 O.S.
