Need advice - PDA/PHONE/CSC?

Hi there!
As 2.3.4 was released, I have some questions..
My phone is unbranded and I live in the Netherlands.
1) If I flash PDA/Phone/CSC from the 2.3.4 package, will it screw up the phone?
2) How do I fully format the phone? (I prefer when re-flashing)
Thanks in advance!

I think the 2.3.4 is not packaged as a .tar its three files. Put the low file in PDA, the csc file in csc and the remaining file in phone then flash. After flashing it will reboot automatically, it will erase data to so back up do not do anything with the. Pit, throw the. Pit file away...

Thanks! Have done so, but now it said 'CSC' successfully applied as 'KOR'?

If it works dont worry too much about the CSC. I have not even checked mine to see what im running Only worry if your using Kies and you like to update through Kies.
If you use the fantastic odin there is no need to worry But when 2.3.4 is released properly for your region install the proper rom then There are guides to restore your CSC in the dev section under debrand and rebrand...
I think all you have to do is hold down power button, up volume and the home button at the same time andrestore factory settings once on the rom of choice

Hi,

and once angain with your "odin is da best".
It's time for you to understand that for many users , Kies is simple .
Odin is a nice tool and I use it a lot, but it was never intended for us End-users originally.
And it's way more easier to mess your phone with it than failling with kies when you are a first time SGS user.
This said :
Csc is used by google market mainly(with a KOR CSC you will see a lot of korean apps while searching for apps, for example).
and if i'm not wrong, for available language in Swipe too.

[UTILITY]Factory Binary -- Service Firmware for G920F only!

Hello every one!!!!
i am not sure if i am posting this in the correct section, if not forgive me, but i am not sure where to post this..
SO... long story short: i went to service because i had to fix imei (which i still have to be done) so i went to pick up the phone not fixed (too expensive in that lab), and i found out there is a SERVICE FIRMWARE on it!!!
first thing i did was dumping it of course i am providing now links to it and to the kernel shipped along with..
ODIN FLASHABLE
RECOVERY FLASHABLE
note:
- both require a factory reset to start, if you do it from custom recovery you can skip format sdcard, but still need to wipe data
- odin flashable already is rooted and has su app installed by me, for the recovery one you can simply flash SuperSuUpdate.zip
most interesting stuffs are a permissive from stock kernel, there are some service apps, which unfortunately are not fixing my problem, and only allow to run tests basically, apart some really small edits to connection and usb or HW tests.. another interesting thing is that the firmware has a sort of AOSP base but need tons of work to have it fully functional.. F.e setting is "aosp" looking and works also on stock roms, but some part are FC because code is missing; launcher is basically useless, but is an "aosp" one as well
most interesting service apps are missing a connection to a tool (i believe) since it throws a popup saying :
Code:
[HMT] init failed
or
[HMT] not connected
anyone knows which could be? anyone familiar to this?
so in the end i am posting it just as general pourpose and cherrypicking of usefull apps, unless we can find what is missing so we could actually fix lots of issues!!!!

Do you have Full service mode with band selection and advanced network settings?

Yes those are the thing this firmware is intended to i think.. actually you can pull apps from the img if you know how to and use it also on stock fw.. I think i will do later and post them separately

Will this service firmware reset the knox counter aswell?

Ok thank you. Please look for advanced network setup APPs and post them ASAP, I need them very urgently

WOW, nice, i have a look asap.

Well if you're in rush flash the firmware and use them, or use some app like samsung secret code from play.. You'll need root for that to work properly

I really dunno because i had mine already tripped long before..! I think it should because they are not supposed to trip knox to fix it, but the selinux permissive kernel could give you troubles!!! Seriously !! Lots of thing may go wrong.. First of all is not out of the box compiled by samsung, but is repacked by me! So no chance it has original signature
You could try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
Giving root permission and try some code using method 0 (root) to launch it ex 1234567890 could be usefull for you

They dont trip knox because they would have flashed an engineering sboot to your device. you should look into dumping that if you have not updated it yet.

The thing is that when they flashed it on my device they have a compiled one with samsung original signature.. Mine is a repack so it doesn't have the original signature so it is likely that if you flash with odin you can end up with tripped knox, because bootloader doesn't read samsung sig and voids it

Regardless, Service firmwares always contain an engineering boot loader. as it allows them to flash what ever they need retaining the current knox state. it also unlocks the protected memory, and has a whole suite of debugging commands enabled for service utilities.
SO again i state if you have not updated this device since you got it back (eg, flashed a tar with a public sboot in it) you should consider dumping yours as its most likely an engineering one for the G920F.

I just received a new device. Here's what I found out.
I tried to use a kernel (by mistake) from another carrier and when you do this, there's Samsung software that recognizes that's not a Sprint Kernel and it locks up the device. That's what was told to me.

@Wuby986 Do you have any screenshots? I would like to see the aosp stuff that includes before I install it to my phone
Thanks

Z5 Premium E6853 (Bell Mobility Canada)

So I am wondering if I am the only Canadian user that managed to buy a device with a locked bootloader? I contacted Sony Dev world and they stated there is no OFFICIAL way of unlocking this once it has been set to "BOOTLOADER UNLOCKABLE" = "NO". This is a dam piss off as I was a eager to build AOSP for this device and acquired it for this purpose.
So much for that plan!

I have not heard from the general public yet on this and so far I have yet to find a way to unlock this boot loader. How is it I'm the only Bell user that found a locked boot loader? I've currently rolled back to 5.1.1 and am still unable to find a solution.
Odd if I'm the only Bell user in this situation.

I got one and it says same thing. Guess I have to sell the device. Very dissapointed.

Have you tried flashing "Customized XX" file via Flashtool instead and then try unlocking it? Usually carrier locked firmware prevents the device from being unlocked.

Yes I've gone all the way back to firmware it comes with pre release, as it would be for promotion to retailers. I've tried everything listed in xda nothing has changed the boot unlock to yes. Mine is now on the" for sale" list as I bought it specifically because Sony is supposedly selling open and unlocked devices for developer friendly experience. This is not the case with a Bell Mobility device.

Changing firmware will never change your bootloader status...if it's locked to start with it's going to stay locked...
Carriers do special deals with oem's to have exclusivity or to sell their products and ask them to lock down the bootloader...
Don't buy from carriers to remedy to that problem...
Sony on the other hand sells its devices unlocked...!

I have the same infuriating problem - further to that, since a security update pm hide no longer works via adb. I was all ready for 7.1 as well and everything has just been a huge letdown.

Sorry fellas, you got the same un-rootable pile of Bell exclusive BS that I've been stuck with since last year.
Zero way to get root on these devices. Period.
Only suggestion is to toss an international ROM on it via Flashtool/Xperifirm and go from there - you'll at least get faster software patches/updates.

Scratch that ... The firmware on that post is Russian even after selecting English on first boot. (there's still some stuff that shows in Russian)
https://depositfiles.com/files/yd5q2j22m <-- AU firmware posted on xperiafirmware.com
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862696598 <-- Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde v0.9.23.1 ... takes a long time to download
Install the flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/torrents/patches/windows/x10flasher.jar <-- Copy file to flashtool install folder (c:\flashtool) to upgrade to v0.9.23.2 (this step is not needed, but recommended)
Backup your phone and turn it off and don't plug it in to your computer yet
Now move the downloaded firmware to your c:\users\{username}\.flashtool\firmwares folder
Run the flashtool (exe in c:\flashtool)
Click on the Lightning bolt
Keep Flashmode selected and click OK
Click on the arrows in the left pane to expand the list until you get to 32.3.A.0.372 and click on that
In the Wipe section, check everything (best to do a clean install)
Click the Flash button
No just wait until a popup comes up telling you to plug the phone in and press the down volume button at the same time.
WAIT .... now it's flashing and takes a while.
Once done, the first boot take a while longer then normal.
You'd think that if you can flash a stock rom this way that you'd be able to flash a rom with a stock rooted kernel and use the flashtool to install root with out needing to unlock the bootloader .... But I'm sure people have already thought of this and for some reason or another, it didn't work.
Like the others on here... I'm not happy with not being able to root... Never buying a phone from the provider again :|

Well, I'm sorry to say that it's impossible to work, since the variant degaslte (which contains connectivity, 4G aka LTE) has another processor, so it will not work, you will not be able to install it, the processor of the T230 variant is the Marvell PXA1088, while the T235 (LTE VERSION) has the processor exynos. That is why the development of roms takes a long time for this variant

Hey,
I got some questions , T230nu stock , I have been readin all the threads on twrp and root threads for t230nu pa1, as this stock rom is only good for vids, so i am totally confused how to best load y8ur latest creation 4.4.4 too make this paperweight usable
So ya i am new to droid but really these threads are totally miffed, like whats the deals with twrp? From what i can tell i have to load 2.7.8.4 or under then i can upgrade to 3.1.1.1degaswifi, or do i have to unlock bootloader first, these dang threads just do not explain properly, i have wasted we3k read7ng them, i swear i feel l am dealing with the government circlejrkm one thread says root first ,when i get to end it reveals if you already have twrp, so i goto twrp and read and those threads lead back if you have root and/or prior twrp install ! what gives even the twrp main website is jqcked with the prior install gunk.
Oh and i just love the thread that starts with " I am going too assume you have abd bootloader unlocked allready" REALLY
So can you maybe point me to a proper guide so i can get this paperweight too qctually work because it is my only inet access rite know and the stock rom is horrible

FYI, paperweight in Android terms, means, it is a hard bricked device. The Tab 4 don't have a locked bootloader. Any TWRP for SM-T230 / NU, will work to install my Android 4.4.4 ROM, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/sm-t230-nu-unofficial-cm-11-based-t3648887.

Secretwolf,
Thanks for the fast reply, for me any device thats basically useless is a paperweight, but i"ll keep in mind that ya"ll use the term meaning for bricked.
So i am going togo buddies today and try to load the lastest twrp, d3gaswifi1100.img . I just cant afford major issues as i dont have easy access to pc to fix it.

[Unmodified] Pre-rooted firmware for SM-G361F

Hi everyone,
Today I am posting this thread because of some idiots who are now sharing pre-rooted firmwares for SM-G361F that are full of bloats.
I am sick of that, this is why I upload the archive of the first pre-rooted firmware I got that was at least clean.
You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!oqpRhZJZ!B18uTiB3TH-QfChoqjgWCNmaPjqInPZbFyI4u9-T8s4
Note: This firmware is ONLY for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F devices with AOG1 build.
Of course I don't own the firmware and I didn't root it, I just keep the right to upload it.

Although I have no use for it, I did test it out and...
...I bricked my device.
Nah, I'm just pulling your leg! I tested her out and she is perfectly functional. Much better than that, what was her name? Andro-Woman? Or was it Andro-Man?
She seems like a woman to me.
Much appreciated and thanks alot, Hank Cyclone, which is your new nickname.

Glad to hear that worked fine for you (actually there were no reason for this to not work...).
BTW why she? Is this your new girlfriend now?

Pre rooted
Hey,can you find SM-G361F pre rooted version for this device?
BaseBand G361FXXU1AQA1
Build number G361FXXU1AQD1
I can't find it anywhere

I love what you're doing. All other pre-rooted ROMS are full of trash. Could you make it for G361FXXU1APA3?

Hum... OK guys thanks for the love but I have to remember you something.
I am not a developer yet and truly not a ROM unbloater: I didn't "disinfect" the firmware, I just reuploaded it (well after a fast check, I found I've already prevented about that, just read the thread please...)
So no dudes I can't do that, sorry. I COULD eventually do that, removing bloats and extract system image to make a flashable shouldn't be as complicated, but I do not have time.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Hey Atronid, you rock! I have the AOL1 but intend to give it a try cause I already rooted it but it's full of bloast. Do you know if I can flash another pre-rooted firmware considering I did this already? could this be harmul? -brickful? )-

:laugh:

I don't think doing this will brick your device, but careful. Ensure the usal requirements are here (OEM unlock, USB debug just in case...) and you made a backup, also in case something goes wrong.
But if you're rooted you got plenty tools that can remove bloats from your device, but I hope you're not easily scared because once removed system may spam that the bloat you just uninstalled has stopped. You can get rid of that by just rebooting your phone.
So you don't need to reflash any firmware if you just want to clean your phone up.

Yes, you're right. The problem was that the apps I tried to remove other apps weren't the right ones, but now that's sorted thankfully On the other hand, as I couldn't find an Android 6 ROM for my phone (not even a sorry recovery.... ) in the end I set my mobile to install new apps on the sd card by default. Actually it works similarly to the app Link to SD, so a part of it is on the SD card and the rest (like the data it generates) in the device storage, despite all the tutorials sell this method as "Installation directly on your SD card". You need a computer and official Android development tools (SDK). In case it's of any interest for anyone I'll include the tutorial I followed, but it turns out I'm not allowed to post links yet, so the title of the article was Cómo instalar aplicaciones DIRECTAMENTE en la tarjeta SD from androidjefe website. In English, How to: Force Android to automatically install apps to SD card from softonic website
I hope it helps

Hi guys, can I use this rom to install on core prime g361f with baseband FXXU1AOH1? I tried once with TWRP but failed.

Read first post. I don't think it will work if you have a build other than AOG1.
And you should not use TWRP to flash like this. Use Odin and Download mode instead.

Will this rooted firmware work with my SM-G361F phone? Need advice...
Hi there,
Will this rooted version work with my phone?
I'm new here and need some help and advice re Rooting this Samsung phone SM-G361F - I'M NO TECHIE but have ability to following instructions and make connections etc. My phone details are below.
Baseband G361FXXU1ASC1
Build LMY48B.G361FXXU1AQD1
Patch level is 2017-4-01
Security software version ASKS 1.2_161011
I did once try rooting a Samsung tablet using Odin and it all worked OK, but that was a while ago.
How important is it to get the identical build or baseband? Anything else I need to check?
I was trying initially trying to change the phone's MAC address, as I was experimenting with the phone, however I could not use an App to do this as it stated phone that the phone needs Rooting first for App to work. Also tried Terminal Emulator app but it kept failing to work as I was probably, unable to input the text commands required correctly.
I hope someone can please help and advise me on this.
M
Kind regards
