Hello,
I'm having an unusual issue with Android Pay after updating my device (it prompted me for an over the air update) where the CTS fails and I am unable to add or use cards. My build is the UK 35.0.A.1.238 / R1A now after I attempted to fix this by flashing the UK verison on the device. I'm not certain on the original region of the device as I purchased the international version, however the build was 35.0.A.1.238 when the Android pay stopped working. I have never rooted nor unlocked the bootloader on this device and I was able to run Android Pay on the factory marshmallow that came on the device.
If you are able to use Android Pay on your X Performance and you are on a stock rom (which on these forums I know is a slim chance), would you mind sharing what region and build you are using? I'm hoping to avoid the United States build as I've heard my fingerprint scanner may not work on that firmware.
Thanks
US build here. It was working on stock. I unlocked bootloader, installed androplus kernel and Magisk and it's still working.

Hello All
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my P9, but have recentley seen an OTA come through to turn my current version to B160.
I understand that I need to flash a stock Rom in it's entirety (re-lock BL and lose root) before I can proceed with the OTA?
The issue I have now is that my current build number does not appear to be available anywhere as a stock rom. I am in the UK and with the 'Three' network.
If anyone can point me to the stock ROM for my build or can recommend another stock Rom to flash that will work without issues, I'd very much appreciate it? :good:
Hi,
I've just bought another Z2 pro and have been trying to update it the latest MM version which I believe is 2.3.044 but can not find the update option in the settings.
It is still on stock with with locked bootloader.I want to update before unlocking the bootloader then on to Lineage 13.
The current ROM version is 2.1.120 with November Security patch.
Edit:
I used the SD update method but it half bricked the phone.
Then used the QPST/QFIL one.Flashed the 2.1 stock rom.Once rebooted the Update option was there. Without the need for VPN it OTA updated to 2.3...
Big thanks to this guy.

Hello
I just bought the z2 Pro and same issue, no update in the settings. I followed your steps but wondering. Is the 2.1 you downloaded international? Do you have Google apps in it? I don't want to root, just want an updatable official international rom...
Thanks!
As far as I know non of "store"multilanguage roms have an update option. In order to get it you have to flash stock (1.9) one and follows OTAs from there.
Hi everyone,
Just got a used S5 from ebay and it's a carrier unlocked AT&T model (I'm in the UK). I've successfully upgraded to Marshmallow using Odin and was looking at root options. I've done some looking around the forums and just wanted to check if I was understanding the situation properly:
1) Are the AT&T models impossible to bootloader unlock?
2) If this is true then I guess any ROMs other than stock based are out of the question?
3) Is it not possible to have root on MM? Is this just because it hasn't been done yet, or is there something inherent in MM that makes it impossible?
4) Therefore, it's only possible to have rooted s5 on LP? And only ROMS based on LP are available?
Thanks in advance !
How did you update the firmware, since i'm having an AT&T S5 with 5.1.1 on it (G900AUCU4COI5), and when searching for updates it's always telling me that there are no updates available, although i'm sure that there are at least 10 mini-patches and patches (5.1.1 -> 6.0).
@tooplanx
Your assumptions are correct. There is an encryption key that has the bootloader locked down and only the carrier can release it. Most Samsung US variants are notorious for this. So yes only stock ROM or a 5.0 based custom ROM is available. Root could be possible through a security exploit on MM (especially since its security patches are now 6 months out of date) but I don't think any developers are working on it that I know of as most of them have moved onto other devices and variants. So at this time yes it is only possible to have root on 5.0.
@Cornul11
Are you using a working AT&T sim card when checking for the update? It won't appear when using another network.

Unless you have an AT&T working sim, you will need to install the upgrade with some software called 'Odin' and the manually downloaded stock 6.0 ROM for the G900A. Kies doesn't work either.
Have a look for 'Odin upgrade' in these forums, it should be easy enough to find.

I don't have an AT&T sim card, so no updates were being shown as available for me. I downloaded the firmware and installed it using ODIN, now i have the latest available version which is G900AUCS4DQD1 (6.0.1).
Hey guys!
Today I have purchased my first Samsung device since Galaxy S2 (I've been using xiaomi since then) and I have met a bit of an issue with my phone. The current version installed is One UI 1.1 (June 1 security patch) and the phone says it's the latest version. I have purchased it from Hungarian Telekom provider. Is it possible, that the provider is handling OTA updates? If so, is it possible to install the generic version instead of the provider firmware via odin? I thought provider OTA is no longer an existing stuff, but It seems that it's not.
Thanks for the answers!
Edit: most importantly: is it possible to relock bootloader if I wanted to sell it sometime?
Yes, the provider handles the updates unless you are on the unlocked Samsung firmware in which case Samsung itself will provide updates. There are tons of firmware files floating around the forums here, you might be able to flash one if one works with your phone.
Thanks, I'm surely gonna do it if the bootloader can be locked back.
Frija App should be able to help you download the correct firmware. Just be sure to install the Visual C++ Runtimes (2008 and 2010) before launching the app.
Hi i am new here and need help with updating my Samsung note 9 i still have a baseband N960USQS1ARI5 but will like to update to the latest firmware. i'm using an unlocked AT&T phone. can anyone guide me? I'm not sure if updating the firmware will lock the phone and the process to update, do I just update the firmware in stages as the updates were released till i get to the latest update or can i update straight up to the latest? I am thinking of using Odin, is that a safe way to do this? any help will be appreciated. Lastly, can I change from the AT&T firmware to lets say a none carrier based firmware so as to stop seeing the AT&T logo on boot up? Maybe switch to a firmware that supports global or international? Does anyone have links to an unlocked firmware update i can use, as well? Please help!
I must state that the phone never updates automatically as it always says the software is up to date.

to your last point, at&t phones are notoriously bad at updating
factory unlocked phones will remain forever unlocked and phones unlocked that are bespoke to a specific carrier will also remain unlocked even with Odin flashes providing that the method employed to unlock it was legitimate. Some unlock methods employ root and only trick the phone into thinking its unlocked. Well, once you remove root, and thusly the trick, the unlock is gone. I have ran across rare examples where the person swore up and down that they unlocked their phone with a legit unlock code and that it relocked to a carrier once the sim was inserted and initial programming completed, but i dunno. Sounds weird to me, but every person who said this also said that the phone locked to a carrier other than the one it came from originally. Take that for what its worth, but i still mostly stand by the first couple lines of this section of my diatribe
If you want the at&t crap gone, get the N960U1 firmware and flash it in Odin. You will need the modified version of Odin to flash it so it can ignore the 255 errors the phone throws up from flashing firmware for a carrier (or, in this case, no carrier) on to a phone that it wasnt originally designated (not designed) for
go to sammobile.com/firmwares, get the info for the firmware you want to d/l, get the Frija tool or Samfirm and download the firmware thru one of those as theyre literally 5x faster and flash it
