[How To] Manually Update Camera Firmware [TW/4.4.x][G900*]

I am giving a $40 buck bounty who ever cracks this one *** This is a Tread to get all camera firmware update Help and information for our models G900****
* i get the bounty and i take any donation gladly
***** i am not responsible for what you understand***** so please read carefully
If you are not capable of following this simple steps and somehow magically EFF you camera just
Full Clean wipe Reflash thru odin or so they say and cross your fingers
SO... After i decided to sit and make some time to reverse engineer the camera test.apk
i managed to solve this one..
**PS: for all of you saying that ones you odin upgrade it will update the CAM.fw automaticly then go ahead and skip this thread as i tried personally flashing 4 times thru odin and nothing happened only the phone fw would update not the camera fw/ besides i don't want to delete anything and this is a better faster way
All you need:
*Any Galaxy S5 G900*[m/t/f/h/w8/any] series with kk4.4.x
[not tested on 5.0 you are welcome to try my solution with the well deserve credits to my self]
*Touchwiz only (you can always update your camera and go back to CM)
*no need to be rooted
* you need to make sure you unfreeze or have installed the CameraTest.apk (FactoryCamera_FB.apk)
if you are using any de bloated rom or you have ran any debloaters
** if you don't see the flashing options enabled..... with you CameraTest.apk then replace it with the one i will indicate below.
First and most important step:
* dial on your phone *#34971539#
( you will get the Camera Firmware Standard screen if you don't then read the steps above again.. see what you are missing)

2.Click on the first options see image above ... Phone/Cam FW ver...
3. take a screenshot of the results on the notification and write down your CAM fw information
*** F16QL, C16L and F16QS Are your camera sensor / Module this information is for you to know what FW you need..
*** last 6 digits are your fw release version
Now that you have that information you may proceed..
1. Get the latest CAM fw for your device with that information..
**.Download any Flashable ROM for your Device model (or if rooted get them from your phone)
2. go to \system\cameradata\
search and extract these 2 files: "yoursensor model"_Isp0.xxxxx.bin / "yoursensor model"_Isp1.xxxxx.bin
3. Save them some where else where you can edit them...
4. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp0).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Main.bin
5. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp1).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Companion.bin
6. Save them and put them on your Internal Memory root directory (not your exterternal sd card)
7. Download the ****.Key file that i will send you and place it in the same directory as the fw files.
******
After this you are all set up and ready..
dial on your phone *#34971539# again and you will see all options are no longer greyed out
2. click on Cam/Phone Fw ver and check that the NEW FW is being detected
(compare with your previews info)
EG. i Had CamFw F16QL"GB00SB" and phone version F16QL"HC04GB" * same as Rom release coding
3. just for safety click on both CAM DUMP options
4. Click on Phone to Cam FW write (main) ones done reboot..
5. Go back to the firmware screen and click on " Phone to Cam FW write (7cxl) or your model number
REBOOT... PROFIT!!!!!
Go to check cam/phone FW ver again and see both are the same now
****If you say Thanks you can take the link to get the ****.KEY file******
Upload your FW on this thread just add your Device Model and FW version

***Modders i have endlessly searched and nothing is available yet for the G900* series**
Previews Research:
***I have tried the Note 3 **** this is not working***
Factory_CameraFB.apk method and i am not risking it..
you can actually replace the APP and works but it is very different than the one for the G900* it does not include the Front section and stuff but they have done some improvements if you want to get some pointers here is the thread: Note3 Camera Update
**
Other methods only works for S3
With the galaxy S3 you dial *#34971539# and open the Camera Firmware flashing tool
As soon as you had the updated SlimISP.bin(firmware file) file in the root of your internal memory the software would detect it and enable the
Flash Phone to Cam FW option to update..
Firmware locations
on your phone you need root they are located in system/cameradata (TW442) and in some cases system/vendor/firmware
you have various files ending with .BIN and in the name they have Isp and your camera hw Model F16QL
Mi G900T has ( F16QL ) this is the HW type then i have version GB00SB in stalled on the Camera
but the Phone version is HC04GB
WAY TO UPDATED and i wants to be able to flash it

I was wondering the same thing... No actual proof, or information as to what this actuality does. I wonder why people make posts like this, expecting them to PM the op without knowing firsthand what this even does.

Hi there,
can I get the *.key file for my s5 too?
Thank you !

Hi all,

I'm pretty sure that with the complete lack of any evidence this does anything whatsoever. The OP hasnt replied and there aren't any examples of Any improvements.

will this mod work on Samsung galaxy Alpha,we have same sensor as S5

Will it work on lollipop

Thanks , please send me a link

1q2w3e4r.key
Folks,
You can make your own .key file because it is simply blank! However, the filename must be 1q2w3e4r.key and it should be placed with the camera firmware .bin files in \system\cameradata\ together.

[ROM][Nougat][7.0][SM-A9100] Nougat International ROM for Galaxy A9 Pro

Hi!
First, I would like to explain the reason for making this thread. Even though we are getting more help for popular models across the forum, A9 Pro remains something almost untouched. This is true specially for the Chinese varient. So, I decided to accumulate everything to a single thread that I found through some serious hunting across the Internet. The model that I'm using right now is SM-A9100. Hence, the remaining content will be mainly focused on that model.
I bought SM-A9100 outside of China which came Play Store pre-installed. When I tried to run the updater it failed even without connecting to the server. So, there were no OTA updates for me. Later, I screwed up my device after flashing TWRP using Flashify(ADVICE - If you are flashing a custom recovery using a 3rd party app, NEVER reboot to the recovery using the software implementation after flashing. Do it manually using the button combination. Otherwise, you won't be able to boot on to the System).
Later, I downloaded CHC-A9100ZCU1API2-20160909110156 build and flashed via Odin along with TWRP. But, it was full of Chinese rubbish. When I tried to flash SuperSU via TWRP, it aborted the process giving "patching sepolicy failure" message. Then I rooted using Kingroot and replaced Kingroot with SuperSU using a script and Terminal Emulator. That is the way worked for me. Finally, I flashed gapps pico package via TWRP. Later, I could remove most of the Chinese bloat using System App Remover. But, I couldn't find a way to replace Chinese oriented Yellow Pages, Baidu search, Weather app, Web browser and Sohu news etc. So, I was desperately in a need of replacing this Chinese ROM with a compatible International one(Nougat).
At the time of writing, There is no Nougat ROM available for the Chinese varient and no sign of having one in the future either. So, the only option available is flashing a ROM built for A910F.
But, As I was informed, A910F firmware can't be flashed directly on A9100 due to different hardware configuration. I looked for the specifications of the device on GSMArena and spotted no difference until expanding the network bands section. Thats where things are different. The two varients sports different modems I guess. So, flashing a firmware of other varient won't give you a hard brick apart from some expected issues on network reception and connectivity. Some people have tried following builds based on A910F firmware.
A9 Pro Elite ROM
Nougat International ROM for A9100
Common reported issue for both builds is, Back and Recent apps capacitive keys are not working. I would like to give a fix I found for the issue that may work.
Dial *#2663# on your phone app. It will open an app window for firmware update. Just tap on Touch key FW update(Network connection may required).

}
Since I haven't installed any of those ROM builds, I don't know whether this works. You can try it and report me whether it works.
It may be required to replace the modem firmware of those builds with the one dedicated for the Chinese varient in order to fix the network reception.
Get it from here and flash via Odin or FlashFire(I will show you in detail later).
My opinion : Since both models have Qualcomm chipsets, both should have Qualcomm modems configured for different bands(FDD or TDD) by the modem firmware. Since Qualcomm modem hardware usully supports almost evey LTE band, changing the modem firmware to allign the hardware to some specific bands may not affect your connectivity if your Service provider's band is included in the list. Correct if I'm wrong.
One of those above mentioned builds is based on Vietnamese XXV firmware and the other is based on Indian INS firmware. Even though you can get rid of Chinese by flashing any of those, you are more likely get into another country's bloat. I wanted a more Internationalized firmware. So, my problem is still not solved.
I looked for myself for a better firmware and found that Singapore XSP firmware to be good. There are a few reasons for picking this.
Open firmware and not carrier locked.
Defaut language is English.
Should be less bloated.
Still, I haven't even downloaded this ROM and I'm really looking at your feedback to proceed. I need answers for following questions.
Since I'm migrating from a Chinese ROM, should I need to perform re-partition or nand irase all or both with repair firmware flashing via Odin?
Or
Will a normal flashing via Odin be enough?
By using FlashFire, I can selectively flash only the components I need using the tar.md5 firmware file(i.e : boot, system, modem).
Will this type of flashing be enough to get the full functionality?
Should I need to replace the bootloader as well?
Finally, I need to replace the boot logo(NOT boot animation) of the device with the boot logo of the International version. I was looking for a soft way to do this for a couple of days and didn't find a way. Some people say that the boot logo image is in the kernel and some say in the bootloader and some say in the param partition and so on. I'm totally confused. My boot logo has some Chinese and unlock symbol with the word "custom". When I flashed the firmware last time using Odin, It didn't change the logo.
This is optional. When I enter the download mode, it displays the warning message in Chinese. Is there any way to replace it with the one in International ROM?
I saw in some threads that to do this nand erase all should be performed. Anyway, that is optional.
If you reply to the contents of this thread, please mention the topic you reply on the top of your comment.
Thank you!

SM-T817A | AT&T Variant | Update | Stock Firmware Nougat 7.0 | May 1, 2017 Patch

So, here I am, a junior member of XDA that tries to make his first article (it indirectly means he can't make this article in the Android Development section since is still a junior one)
I just bought this tablet a week ago and I found out that the android it came with was so old (Lollipop 5.1.1), so I searched through any android forums that I know in order to update this tablet to its latest firmware (Nougat 7.0), but I could not find one, even after I searched it in XDA, which in my opinion is the most comprehensive and reliable website to look for anything regarding Android. Not only that, but I also saw in some threads that there were people like me who had this tablet, but they still stuck with the old stock firmware.
So, without any further ado, let's do it!
SO FAR, I CAN ONLY CONFIRM THAT THIS CAN (ONLY) WORK WITH T817A VARIANT
First of all, make sure to BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA because the method of the update WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK
First, let's download the Odin software
https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.13.1.zip
Second, download the AP, CP, CSC, and BL firmware of the T817A which are available on this website.
https://combinefile.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=9448 (THIS LINK IS ALREADY INACTIVE)
Please download the four required files above through my Google Drive (please feel free to share them with anyone!)
Samsung SM-T817A | Nougat 7.0 | May 1, 2017 Patch | AP, CP, BL, and CSC files - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Third, extract all of those in one folder
Fourth, open the Odin
Fifth, put your T817A in Odin download mode (here's how to do it, first of all, turn off your tab, then push the home, power, and volume down button at the same time)
Sixth, connect your tab with your computer (make sure you are using CAPABLE AND RELIABLE MicroUSB) and ensure it is detected by the Odin software afterward
Seventh, click the AP button in the Odin software and choose the extracted AP firmware (the same goes with the CP, CSC, and BL)
Eighth, click start, now your tab is downloading the software (DON'T UNPLUG THE CABLE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE A BOOTLOOP)
Ninth, now the tablet will restart, and voila, congratulations! You just updated it to Nougat 7.0!
IF ANYONE HAS ADVICE OR ISSUE REGARDING THIS ARTICLE, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO TELL ME
Hit that thanks button if this article helped you!

I know this thread is old, but I'm looking for a stock Nougat 7.0 for galaxy tab s2 SM-T817A. I've looked through the tab S2 forums and couldn't find anything except for this post, only problem is one of the file downloads is broke. The AP file only gets to 1gb and fails, it's a 1.5gb file. I've searched the internet for days and can't find anything for T817A. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

I am also looking for this rom.

Hey mate, sorry for the really late reply, i have been inactive at XDA lately, i have tried the link and it still works, my suggestion is please check your internet connection and storage, and then try it again. If it still doesn't work, i will happily upload the AP file in Google Drive for you!

Hey, Amazing work there, i used the tool and works fine. I just wanted to post something to bring this thread to people's notice. Thanks for your hard work.
This is a good tool to use (Frija is good too). If you manage to keep this updated as and when Samsung changes things on their side this can get popular too. Thanks for the work.

I tried to install but after unzipping it - when I attempted to run it, an error message sdaid something about not having the correct path or authorization to run....not sure what I am doing wrong? I do have the Microsoft stuff installed that you mentioned - and have never had an issue with older versions of Samfirm....let me know what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks

I tried to run it, what are you supposed to put in the Region field?
Tried with SM-986U (Note 20 Ultra), and the usual suspects for USA (TMB, SPR, VZW, USC) all came back not found.
EDIT: Also tried with SM-N986u and SM-N981U , no dice. Got "authorization failed" there, which is weird.

Awesome work. Many thanks. I have been trying to make frija work since 2 months to no success. Finally this worked as intended.

Would you happen to know of a direct download link for this update? Or might you be able to post a copy of the file that you downloaded for others to access?
Many of us in areas where updates are often delayed for long periods, such as here in Canada, use a VPN to download updates from India as soon as they're available. However, this method doesn't work so far for participating in / downloading the beta.

I think is not possible to acess update's file, so, we have to wait till stable release...

Got coloros11.1 update on 27 jan

Today should be the release of coloros 11 final in India and Indonesia. Did someone receive it?

Received..
they just changed the March 3rd beta update to official.
That's it no additional download required.
If you already received the beta update of March 3rd 2021 you are running the official version.

I am trying with Speedify India and Indonesia servers, but nothing

It seems Oppo won't release the full Android 11 ROM on their support site for a while (Find X2 Android 11 was available since last Nov but the full ROM is still not available for download as of now).
For us non India/Indonesia variant users might need to do the region change trick to get the download working, saw that on Find X2 Pro forum but haven't try that out myself yet:
[GUIDE] Switch software region to Upgrade to ColorOS 11 and enable Dual Sim.
I want to write this here so it's all in one place and not scattered around different threads. Apologies for the bad formatting in some parts as this is on of my first contribution. Most of this is copied from this thread: I am adding onto this...

Update:
I was able to swtich my Taiwan variant (CPH1919TW) to India version using the method above, and has upgraded my phone to Android 11 successfully. Not even VPN is needed, just click the apply trial version in settings after reboot.
Overall some nice improvments here and there, not as huge improvement going from Android 9 to Andorid 10, but still a nice upgrade. System is smooth as usual (I didn't do a clean install, just upgrade).
Considering there is still no confirmed upgrade schedule on other regions, it's worth to try the above method, it's not that difficult neither.

Holy ****, it works. Many thx to you squallho1

After switch to India version, apply trial version and now downloading in Czech republic without VPN.

Working in The Netherlands! Changed to Phone to India with above mentioned tutorial and now downloading coloros11, thanks!
And now that the phone region is India I finally have the dual wifi option available in the settings

Using the above guide Android 11 working fine. But now the phone has some bloatware on it - the Oppo App Store - though you can hide Hotapps & Hotgames in the AppStore settings.
I thought changing the region back EuropeEx might get rid of it - but I get the error 'Connection problem or invalid mmi code', instead of the region screen appearing in the dialer.
Anyway around this?
The dual-wifi works fine - its connects to my 2_4ghz and 5Ghz bands simultaneously. Overall Im more than happy with the Android 11 upgrade and would recommend it.
