Press and hold the three buttons Power + Home + Volume down together until you see warning screen.
Press Volume Up to continue to download mode.
Step 7: Double click on extract file of Odin, Odin3 v3.10.6.exe to open the Odin window, Be careful with Odin, and do just as said to prevent problems.
Step 8: Connect your Galaxy S6 Edge+ to PC now using USB cable. Odin should recognize your Galaxy S6 Edge+. It’s a must. When it recognizes, you will see Added!! message appearing in the Log box in bottom left, and the first box under ID:COM will also show a no. and turn its background blue.
You cannot proceed until you get the Added!! message, which confirms that Odin has recognized your device.
If you don’t get Added!! message, you need to install/re-install drivers again, and use the original cable that came with the device. Mostly, drivers are the problem (look at step 2 above).
You can try different USB ports on your PC too, btw.
Step 9: Load the TWRP file into Odin. For this, click the AP button on Odin and the select the file: TWRP-2.8.7.1-Alpha_G928C.tar.md5.

Step 11: Click the Start button on Odin now to start flashing the firmware on your Galaxy S6 Edge+. Wait till installation is finished, after which your Galaxy S6 Edge+ will reboot automatically. You’ll get PASS message as upon successful installation from Odin.
If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do this all again. Disconnect your device,close Odin, boot device into download mode again, open Odin, and then select the firmware and flash it again as said above.
If you get FAIL in the top left box, then also you need to flash the firmware again as stated just above.
That’s it. Enjoy the TWRP recovery v2.8.7.1 on your Galaxy S6 Edge+.

Original Software Samsung J7 DUOS 2017

Hi Guys,
i need the original Software of the Samsung J7 Duos of 2017.
The Phone has the Number SM-J730FZKDDBT
Could somebody give me the correct Software?
Had a big Problem with the phone and accidentlly deleted the original Software. :crying:
Now the Phone is running with the J7 Pro Software an i have Blur and sometimes Stripes on the Phone.

I found one here: https://mega.nz/1dd9e683-af73-4d23-8f0c-1adab29698d9
Note that this is the firmware for the SM-J730F as they come in Switserland.
Another (better) option imho is to download Smart Switch from the Samsung website. (link: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch)
Once installed, it's not that difficult to get your original firmware back.
1) Make a backup of your phone (as it will be erased completely)
2) Switch off your phone and boot it into "Odin mode" (hold volume down + power + home until the device boots, release the power button but keep holding the other buttons. Once you have the confirmation screen, confirm using volume up)
3) In Smart Switch (once installed) click on "more" followed by "Emergency software recovery and initialization".
4) When the following screen is loaded, click on the "Device intialization" tab.
5) Enter your Model name at the bottom (in capital letters) and click on "search".
6) When your model number is recognized, you will be prompted to enter your serial number.
7) Once entered, click "ok" to start searching for the firmware for your original region.
8) Follow the next steps as explained on-screen (don't have my tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab S - with me now so cannot give you any more detailed instructions).
Note that I cannot find my phone when entering the model and serial number (SM-J730F/DS. Model not found, and combination with SM-J730F and my serial number gives no results)

No OEM/bootloader unlocking option on the A20e (SM-A202F)?

Hello, may I ask about the A20e (SM-A202F) here in this A20 forum?
My A20e does not show an option for unlocking the bootloader (well, I thought the "OEM unlocking" would be the term to search for as I know it from my S7).
I started the A20e the first time after unboxing, with no SIM card and no WiFi connected. The date (never updated) was a day in March 2019.
I then even set the date back by 4 weeks and rebooted the phone (as was suggested for the A20, if I remember correctly, if problems with a non-existing or greyed-out OEM unlocking option appear).
Still, no OEM unlocking option is available in the developer options (not even greyed out).
Can other A20e (SM-A202F) users please confirm this? Or do you have that option?
Maybe it's not needed on the A20e, but who knows?

It also happened with me. I will try to explain what I did to bypass this waiting. First, you got to format everything, cache and data, then reboot your phone and do all of that configuration, but don't turn your wi-fi ON or connect to the internet, go to the date & time settings, set the date to 7 (or more) days back from today and then go to the system updates and try to update your phone (now connected to the internet). Whatever happens now doesn't matter, the important thing is to make sure that your phone got a registry that you tried to update the system 7 days ago. You may now reboot your phone, after rebooting set the date for the current day and turn on developer options, you will see the bootloader option.

Thank you!
Coming back to this (moved) thread after a while, I wonder if unlocking the bootloader will trip Knox. So, will it?
Are there any ways to root the Samsung A20e without tripping Knox?

I'm sorry but Samsung Knox was made to be tripped. If you touch your recovery partition the Knox will be broken.

Do only changes of the recovery trip Knox?
Is rooting the A20e possible without tripping Knox? (I guess, no)

The procedure does not work. I also performed a wipe cache and a wipe data / factory reset. Then I connected wifi and waited 10 days. Nevertheless, the OEM unlock option is not available in the debug options, and the "Volume long press Device unlock mode" option is not available after entering the download mode. Can anyone advise?

lebigmac said:
Hi. Does it say 'KG state: prenormal' on the top left corner when you go into Download mode?
What firmware did you try it with?
Also you shouldn't have to wait 10 days after connecting to a wifi hotspot for it to validate. On my device the validation process is done within a minute.

Hi, KG state: prenormal, FRP lock: OFF, OEM Lock: ON(U1), firmware is original XEZ-A202FXXU3ASL4-20200120200351 (Android 9). The last procedure, waiting 10 days, was the last of many I tried.

Hi, I tried to return the date in 7, 14, 30 days and a few months, but without success. I have Samsun Galaxy A20e SM-A202F

Tried to clicking through threads and used search... but seems I am blind.
I have SM-A202F CSC ROM and dreaming to have CSC DBT.
How to change active CSC?
Tried with Odin:
Code:
A202FXXU3BTI7_A202FOXM3BTI7_DBT
Then realized seems Multi CSC because ROM have also OXM ""Region""...
Second attempt with Combination Firmware...
Code:
COMBINATION_FAC_FA90_A202FXXU3ATD1_FAC3ATD1_CL15768665_QB30267852_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
Here Odin failed... and I saw funny warning text on screen...
Thought this will be easy 5 minute flash and voila ready DBT...
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards

Seems I managed my problem.
First mistake was to flash 5 files... with Home...
Now I have DBT, after using SIM Card from Germany and flashed 4 files and pressed Button during Settup and... magic...
Tried before without SIM card...
Only as info.
Best Regards

I managed to do the "bootloader", to log in in "download" mode and to have the "root of my A20e.. without major problems.... but the whole thing is almost useless because anyway you can not change (for what I need) the information of the phone (imei, SN... etc etc etc),, and I believe that it depends precisely on the new security it is equipped with, in accordance withGoogle.......I won't hide from you that I would gladly install the good old Android 4.4......
