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.

Thank you. I will keep update this tool and add new functions

thank

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.

Get unlock code for BTV-W09

Hi, I have been reading threads on how to unlock my mediapad 3 (BTV-W09). I wanted to know if anyone with the same model who succefully got his code could tell me how to put the information. I have tryed "BTV-W09", "HUAWEI BTV-W09", etc. with no luck, i always get the msg "Please make sure the information you entered is correct." I have tested firefox, edge, chrome, dolphin, etc.
Greetings

I've run into the same issue. I don't think it's the correct message. It should say something like "Please notice, we don't provide unlock codes for your device."
I wrote Huawei support and this is the message I got back.

It would be awesome if anyone has a way to work around this issue... thanks!
Same result here
I got the same problem on the unlock web page, and the same email result from Huawei USA.
I finally resorted to paying the $4.49 to DC-Unlocker and successfully unlocked (rooted, installed TWRP, etc.). I *have* read here and there that Huawei requires that you create an account on their site and log into it for some period (I want to say 14 days). I didn't have the patience to try that route, since I wanted to get the device set up and not worry about having to wipe it again in two weeks' time.
[Edit] I did open the special configuration menu (with calculator in landscape mode and a special code I can't remember just now: someting like "()()824579()()="). There, I found a model number "BTV_W09_V2" (note the underscores). Once or twice in my dozens of code-retrieval attempts, this model number gave me a response on the website telling me that my unlock code is "{}". It felt like progress, but was still useless.
Were you guys on EMUI 4 or 5?
I had to downgrade mine to EMUI 4, get the unlock code, unlock it for the first time, adb flash TWRP then upgrade back to EMUI 5, use back the same unlock code to unlock the bootloader again. Once updated to EMUI 5, remember to adb flash TWRP for EMUI 5.
I finally got my unlock code, i wrote an email last week asking for the code on the contact form (http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/?tag=email). After two or three emails moving me from one department to another, the gave me the code.
Thanks. I used dcunlocker on two BTV-W09C128B005 tablets and it worked (8 credits). You have to use the calculator and sub *# with (). Received the same email that says you will brick the device and they don't supply codes, bunch of lies. I also got xposed (think v23) in fine after greatsalon's w09 version of twrp and latest su. Removed the updater and all the other garbage services they use to spy, staying on stock marshmallow for now. Apps used to fly drones like litchi don't work well on nougat but are stable on marshmallow.

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!

Also, do you know if there is a difference between the XAA and VZW unlocked firmware? I'm seeing both versions but they are both for the unlocked model. I have the unlocked phone on Verizon so which one would be better?
Edit: NVM. After looking at all the numbers on the application I believe they are the same firmware.

VZW uses contains wallpapers and apps VZW specific.
XAA contains no additional apps.
btw when you upgrade an American S7 edge's bootloader then you are stuck with it.
It means Oreo forever pretty much.
you shouldn't really mess with the network if your current network is working fine.
VZW phones used to be locked to Verizon in Nougat but after an update they decided to unlock all of these phones.
Functionally they should be the same to XAA firmware no need to change from VZW.
All of the firmware is the same for all 935U's except the CSC's and modem.
Meaning you should use your Modem from the VZW but you can use the CSC from VZW or XAA.

Look at the back of your phone for your phone model.
Like SM-G935F
Also look for the country code
like BTU for Britain
Then put them both into the SamFirm app.
It will look for the latest update automatically.

Hey thanks but I meant downloading through my phone not on PC
Updato. com is a great alternative.

Telstra Australia Launched SM-G977B S10 5G

I haven't seen this listed anywhere since a search for this model number brings up nothing.
The Australian stock is the model SM-G977B
Its an Exynos version with the old UFS and the model given as part of the free upgrade promo (when you preordered the s10 plus), is a 512GB black variant.
I can't see much development being done for this since obviously no one has this model, but I'd love to be able to root it.
Hopefully more people will get this phone, and some dev can start. If there's anything I can do to get the ball rolling, let me know!
Root
Hey mate, I have already achieved root day one of receiving my device from this offer , I am by no means an advanced developer but technology is my passion. The process was simple due to it being the same process as topjohnwu already published. This is the official page for the instructions by topjohnwu which do work: topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root. If you struggle at any point feel free to reply. I will be posting this in the development threat for others so there aware.
As for TWRP, thats a different story, I have tried flashing TWRP from the s10+ and hoping it would work but it did not which was to be expected. So I am attempting my own build of TWRP by modifying the s10+ TWRP to match the s10 5G. Mind you I have never compiled TWRP or Android. I have mainly tinkered with iOS on apples hardware so no promises I'll figure it out nor that it will be bug-free but if I do manage to find it I'll post it for another developer to maybe check and fix.
But root is definitely possible as of now,
Happy rooting!.
Hwy thanks for that.
Do you still get updates? I've never rooted without a custom rom before?
Also, do you use exposed? Edexposed or virtual exposed? It's the main reason I want to root
Lastly where did u get the boot image from?
Thanks
Hey mate, over the air updates I believe do not work. To update you'd need to download the latest firmware and repatch the ap file. But I haven't done this. There is a forum post somewhere outlining the process though so I'll try and dig that up.
As for the exposed framework I haven't tested that out nor have I used it before but it is something I wanna dive into. The last time I tinkered with Android was years ago where exposed wasn't a big thing. But I have seen users state they've got it running from edxposed or something like that from the magisk add on panel. So I'll give it a try now and report back to you.
As for the firmware I cannot upload any links as I'm a new user. But if you shoot me an email [email protected] I'll be happy to send you the link I personally used.

Galaxy a40 Android 10 downgrade to 9

hello everyone here.
its posible to downgrade galaxy a40
FROM 10 to 9 pie?
thanks
i have try with ODIN but no lucky
says FAIL/
You need Odin , the multipart ROM and the PIT file for Android 9.
I've tried to rollback to 9 with odin and suceeded. I used frija to get android 9 rom for my CSC, and it normally downgraded it, without issues.
Can I downgrade knox from android 10 to 9 without triggering it? and when I downgrade it, can I replace the csc with a csc that supports call log? Thanks. (Google translate used)
does this work
is it possible to downgrade?

Hi,
I have tried for 2 days to get my Galaxy A40 ( A405FN ) from 10 to 9.
I used Odin 1.14.4 and SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.7.23.
I'm trying to flash this rom here (XEF) A405FNXXU1ASC3 from March 2019, 9/Pie. I got it from samfrew.com
I have tried recovery mode, to apply update from SD card, but I got a
E: Footer is wrong, Signature berification failed.
I have tried to upload only the AP file, I got an error after the recovery.img file
calinorg, can you be a little bit more specific about your environment?
Thank you so much for helping
It was couple of months ago, I don't really remember the versions of files back then... But I've read on telegram groups that September 2020 update disables downgrading. I've since returned that phone and got another a40 that I haven't tried to downgrade (beauty of having a workplace provided phone - you trip knox and complain phone doesn't work, and get another one )
lebigmac said:
Hi. Where can I find the PIT file?
And by multipart ROM you mean the firmware zip file downloaded from one of those samfirm websites right?
And how does one downgrade from Android 10 to Android 9 once all those required files are acquired? Can you please give a step by step tutorial? Thanks!

How can we remove that check on the flash rom?
Thank for you help
working .... finally
this is the way i did it.
I found out about the BIT version of the ROM in that post,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...FZ4MZ5_zT3cBAKVUg5jbgGftA-d5J-3AbpA&nocache=1
So my original rom is 3BIT
A405FNXXU3BTD4 XEF 2020 05 13 BIT 3 V10 Q original phone
_________^
And I have downloaded a few V9, one was BIT 3 Too.
A405FNXXU3ATA4 XEF 2020 01 15 BIT 3 V 9 Pie
_________^
The earliest verson i had, that I was always trying was BIT 1
A405FNXXU1ASC3 XEF 2019 03 07 BIT 1 V 9 Pie
_________^
So The bit version of the ROM you want to flash must be equal or above your actual bit version in my case 3
So, i was doing some reasearch on BIT version, I found this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
and in that post there is a version of a 3B, of Odin. Odin V3.13.1_3B .. so i may as well try it.
And it worked... miracle Android version 9!!
I have changes to so many variable... magisk installed, twrp installed, multidisabler
I don't know if those had an influence
Dont hesitate to correct my misunderstandings....

Also worked for me downgrading from A405FNXXS3BTI3 to A405FNXXU3ATA4 - your tip on the bitcodes and patched version of Odin got me pointed in the right direction.
I didn't have Magisk, TWRP or Multidisabler installed, nothing - I was on stock 10 FW (UK, EE) and needed to get back to 9.
Lets try to get to 8 !!
Do you remember the time when getting the last android was so geekely cool. Today we just wonder what other freedom are they going to take away from us.
I'm using Call Recorder Pro that wont work on 10, at all. On 9 its working but it wont associate the number and the recording. So on the recording you just have the time stamp.
Now, on 8 (my huawai P10Lite), it records and put the contact name or number in the filename..... which is awesome.
That thing is so useful, remembering things, share conversations, work on communication strategy, sales, job search, and I have no memory...
So, I'm thinking.... lets go 8 on the A40 ... )
I am very happy that I was able to downgrade to android 9.
Android 10 is a joke. In android 10 you can't even mount system as read/write even with root! This is a new 'security feature' of android 10 called shared_blocks
Nevermind. There actually is a solution to the read only filesystem problem in Android 10 and newer.
See solution below:
Works like a charm in Android 10 and later (on my new Xiaomi device). Now my system, vendor and product partitions are read-write!
Use at your own risk!
note: I have not tested this on Samsung devices yet!

There's no android 8 for Samsung A40, and if you want native call recording you need root for that, no other way.
